New York - Elegant luxury furniture made for pop star Michael Jackson will be auctioned in Las Vegas, Julien's auction house announced Friday. Twenty-two furniture lots commissioned by Jackson for his planned residence in Kent in Britain will be sold at the Music Icons auction on June 25. Among the pieces is a monumental nine-seat sofa with red velvet button-tufted upholstery and details in 24-carat gold, which the auction house expects to sell for up to 150,000 dollars. Also expected on the auction block are an armchair and a desk with ivory details in the style of the 17th century. Italian manufacturer Colombostile Artisans said the larger share of the auction proceeds would go to two charities. All in all, 200 Jackson memorabilia will be auctioned, including a red leather jacket from the music video Beat it, along with shoes and further costumes.
