Anyone who grew up in the sitcoms of the 90s will surely imagined living in the high-end condo of the downtown town. Dr. Crane’s house with Elliot Bay Towers was a pure fantasy, with its completely unrealistic view of the space needle and the interior decorated with taste that a radio psychiatrist certainly could not afford. How much does the apartment cost? Well, people have in fact tried to understand this, and approximate estimates put the three beds at around 1.5 million dollars in 1993 – the year “brewing” made its debut on NBC. It is according to the best assumptions of the real estate brokers and the fact that we know Frasier’s apartment cost the show’s decorators about half a million dollars in the real world to win.

For most of us, then, occupy such an apartment will always remain a distant dream. In a strange way, it is part of the attraction of “breaking”, in the sense that the spectacle has plunged us into a world that we would never have known otherwise. It was not only that the expensive tastes of brewing were prohibitive for the average spectator, but also his idealized Seattle simply does not exist outside the show himself.

This is why it is in a way exciting to think that it is in fact possible to have a piece of this fantastic television country. Soon, Julien’s Auctions Will bid several pieces of the original “breaking” apartments, as well as other memorable articles from Dr. Crane’s favorite coffee. This will allow us, in turn, fans to potentially keep a piece of “brewing” -domed for ourselves. Do not expect to bring home the good doctor’s sofa or the coffee table – at least, unless you have several thousand dollars to lose.

Frasier’s apartment was memorable for many reasons. Not only was the architecture unique, with a radical chimney completing the huge bay windows and their fanciful view of the space needle, but the whole was also filled with interesting visual flair – from the Eames chair by the windows of the real Steinway piano presented on a platform overlooking the living room. The eclectic and post-modern style of the Maison de Prasier has even contributed to the designation of a new aesthetic: Frasurbane. It is, according to the Aesthetic WikiA sort of “moderate and sophisticated” mixture of “” classic and Renaissance “patterns” with “ecological or natural elements”, resulting in a bookstore from the 90s or a style of café-academy from the 90s. All of this simply speaks how some time and feeling “brewing” were emblematic. Far from the too enlightened sets of Neither disappointing nor remarkable modern “brewing” renewalThe sets of the original show felt immersive in a way that little, if not, sitcoms manage today.

As such, it is simultaneously exciting and perhaps a little sad to see elements of these beloved sets that are launching at auction. Nevertheless, this is exactly what is happening during the auctions of Julien, where anyone (with enough money) can now have impressive pieces of “brewing” history. The “Channel Surfing: A Broadcast to Binge Auction” includes several prizes which will be immediately familiar to “breaking” fans, including one of the doctor’s own combinations. In fact, there are two breaking costumes, but one is “cheers”, the program on which the character made his debut in 1984. It is interesting to see the aesthetic passage of “cheers” to “prasier” illustrated by the two costumes, with the last encapsuting the earth tones which defined a large part of the appearance of the Spin series. But the combinations are only the start of this particular auction – which, if you are ready to blow enough your savings, could essentially recreate the entire Frasier lounge in your own house.

In The pilot “brewing” (that, moreover, the actor of Niles, David Hyde Pierce, thought terrible at the beginning), the titular doctor presents his father, Martin (John Mahoney) to his new apartment and gives him a visit to the different characteristics. “You know, each article here has been carefully selected,” he boasts. “This lamp of Corbu, the Eames chair, and this sofa is an exact replica of the One Coco Chanel in his workshop in Paris.” Now, this replica of the Coco Chanel sofa is auction and, according to Julien, is expected to go up to $ 30,000. Interesting thing, an 1994 Chicago tribune The article estimated that the sofa itself was likely between $ 15,000 and $ 20,000 for being done for the series. It might not have been too much for Dr. Crane, but it’s probably a bit out of reach for the average fan “brewing”.

Let’s be honest: if you are going to bid for the sofa, you might as well continue and complete the living room. Among the prizes of Julien’s auction, there are several instantly recognizable parts of the Maison de Frasier, including the neoclassical coffee table which was seated before and in the center for the 11 seasons of the series (which should also bring about $ 30,000). Fans will also recognize the glass window and even the lights, which are to be won and should reach a much more reasonable price of $ 200. Admittedly, these same fans could be less enthusiastic by the prasier teapot, which is expected to sell between $ 1,000 and $ 2,000, but the poster “Rauschenberg Venice USA”, which was suspended in the corridor leading to the rooms of Martin and Dr. Crane, could well be worth its expected $ 6,000.

However, all of the breasting lounge is not available at auction. You will not be able to buy the Steinway or Eames chair, for example. But there is enough here to assemble a convincing recreation from the main set of the show, which is exactly this Julian During a pop-up experience of the Cafe Nervosa at Seattle armory in April 2025. Speaking of what, there are several favorite coffee accessories to brew in the auction, among them the table where Dr. Crane and his brother sit frequently to discuss the debacle of the day, as well as several cups ornate of the Café Nervosa brand.

All this should be interesting for any fan “brewing”, even if most of us can afford none of the good things. But it is also a little disturbing to see, for example, Martin The shirt, pants and suspension walking in a kind of white vacuum without shape with a price of $ 3,000 attached. Actor John Mahoney having died in 2018 (The renewal “breaking” cried its loss in a touching way), his wardrobe is just a little sad to see in this way – although it’s a bit cool to see Martin’s name written inside the shirt pass in a close -up of the lot. Of course, if none of this takes fantasy and you have $ 150,000 to lose, you can always splash the original “Cheers” bar, which is by far the most expensive element of auction.
