Less than two weeks after the famed Four Seasons Restaurant closed its doors, the owners are about to auction off the eatery's iconic furniture. Manhattan reporter Michael Scotto has the story. 

For 57 years, the Four Seasons was a symbol of glamour and aspiration. The restaurant was a monument to midcentury design.

According to Richard Wright, of the Wright Auction House, “It's a modernist interior, but it's also about luxury.“

Now that luxury is being auctioned off Tuesday, less than two weeks after the birth place of the "power lunch" closed down.

Located in the Seagram Building, the restaurant was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson.

The renowned architects created the chairs and banquets, furniture that is expected to bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A set of eight chairs will start at $10,000, while a pair of bar stools is expected to draw in $5,000.

Five bread bowls designed by Ada Louise Huxtable will likely cost you at least $3,000.

“They have a perfectly modernist top with this sort of geometric half circle,” Wright added.

Not everything here is expected to cost thousands of dollars. A set of four check holders is expected to cost $100. And 12 bread plates, with the name of restaurant stamped on the back, will also start at $100.

On Monday, former patrons and admirers of modernism filtered through to take a look at the past, as the space will eventually be re-imagined as another restaurant.

The Four Seasons is expected to re-open a few blocks away, minus the interior and furnishings that helped make it a star.

Julian Niccolini, owner of the Four Seasons, was far from teary-eyed, saying, “I'm not really concerned about the design too much because what makes the restaurant is not the design it's the people. It’s the people who work in them; it's the people who come to have lunch and dinner.”

Those people, all movers and shakers, add to the significance of the items being auctioned. As an example, the starting bid for a walnut table where Jackie Onassis used to eat is $500.
