Michael Jackson's custom-made furniture for sale
LOS ANGELES – The 22 pieces of custom-made furniture Michael Jackson commissioned for his London home are going on the auction block.
Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions says a gilded red velvet sofa that seats nine, a leopard-print chair trimmed with ostrich feathers and a pair of velvet armchairs embroidered with gold eagles are among the offerings.
Jackson intended to use the furnishings during his "This Is It" comeback concert run in London.
Fans can visit a re-creation of the home at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood casino from June 14 to June 25 before the items are sold at auction.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit two charities: MusiCares, which provides health care and other services for struggling musicians, and Joshua's Heart, which aims to end world hunger.

Michael Jackson's luxury furniture up for auction
The luxury furniture Michael Jackson commissioned before his death will go under the hammer in June in Las Vegas along with other personal items from the King of Pop, Julien's Auctions announced Friday.
The 22 pieces of furniture Jackson ordered from Italy's Colombostile Artisans to fill the home where he was to live during his "This is It" London concert series will be featured in the June 25 "Music Icons" auction at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
Before the event, the furniture and a recreation of Jackson's home in Kent, England will be exhibited at Newbridge Silverware's Museum of Style Icon's, in Ireland, from March 16 to May 30, Julien's said in a statement.
The exhibit will then be shown in Las Vegas from June 14-25.
"Michael's fans and the public will experience how the entertainer's home would have looked like with his custom designed" furniture, the auction house said.
The collection includes several armchairs upholstered in mother of pearl or platinum-gold leaf (estimated at 18,500 dollars) and two with gold double-headed eagle embroidery (60,000 dollars).
It also includes a 17th century style gilt ebonized wood writing desk with mother of pearl inlay (120,000 dollars) and a Baroque red velvet and gilt sofa with stone inlay (150,000 dollars).
The auction will also feature more than 200 items from Jackson's life and career, including a signed "Beat It" jacket (estimated at 8,000-12,000 dollars), Jackson's white Swarovski Crystal Glove (30,000 dollars) and signed "Bad" Lyrics (2,000-4,000 dollars).
A portion of the proceeds will benefit two charities: MusiCares, which provides health care and other services for struggling musicians, and Joshua's Heart, which aims to end world hunger.
