LONDON — Christie's auction house says the writing desk and chair Charles Dickens used to write "Great Expectations" has sold for just over $850,000.

The buyer of the mahogany desk and walnut chair says he made his money in the tarot-card psychic readings business.

The money raised at Wednesday's auction will go to the Great Ormond Street children's hospital in London. Dickens was a close friend of the hospital's founder and spoke at its first fundraising dinner in 1858.

The furniture was passed down through the Dickens family and was recently donated to Great Ormond Street by Jeanne-Marie Dickens, the widow of Dickens' great-great grandson Christopher.
