Richard Wright, the auction house owner, saw his fortunes change with a George Nelson jewelry chest.

Generally there are two ways for dealers to do business. One: scavenge
flea markets for lots of cheap finds and jack up the price 5 or 10
times. Two: pay for the best quality you can afford and double the
price. The chest, which came to Mr. Wright as he was making that
transition, is a reminder that sometimes you need to break open a tin
of caviar to make a really good omelet.
