In November 2025, Sian Cullen, a Nottingham resident, is preparing to auction off an unusual set of items she acquired several years ago - an interrogation chair and a matching cage. Cullen, who studied history at university, has always been fascinated by the more macabre elements of the past.
When she saw the interrogation chair for sale on social media, Cullen knew she "just had to have it." She purchased the chair, along with the accompanying cage, and has kept them in her home ever since. However, as Cullen prepares to move to Scotland, she is now decluttering her possessions and has decided to put the unsettling items up for auction.
The interrogation chair and cage are being sold through Arthur Johnson & Sons, a Nottingham-based auction house. The items are expected to fetch between £2,500 and £3,500 at the upcoming sale. Cullen's decision to part with the historical artifacts reflects her changing priorities as she embarks on a new chapter in her life.
