Apparently, Wright Auctions has decided to enter the knockoff business. I assume they have weighed the pros and cons, and view this step as beneficial to both their brand as well as the needs of their client base.
Among the offerings from their recent Mass Modern auction . . .
Two lots of vintage knockoff Borge Mogensen chairs, which went for $688 and $750.

... also for the taking was a pair of knockoff Hans Wegner Round Chairs, early cane-wrapped back version (early original that is, not early knockoff). These were a bargain at just $625 for the pair.

. . . and my personal favorites, two lots of recent Chinese knockoffs of Finn Juhl's Chieftain chair. Apparently the knockoff stool was a valued item for someone, as that lot went for $1820 over the solo chair at only $1170.
Both lots for a used Chieftain can be considered a good value, seeing as a new knockoff Chieftain goes for a pricey $849, with free shipping - https://www.franceandson.com/mid-century-modern-chieftains-lounge-chair-...

In case you're worried that Wright's intentional inclusion of knockoffs might distract them now from incorrect attributions, rest assured, there are still plenty of those around as well.
Here is a pair of Dyrlund wall-mounted nightstands, A.K.A Borge Mogensen for Soborg, that went for $2375.
For that price, you could have bought a knockoff Chieftain and a set of vintage knockoff Mogensen J39s, and still had a few bucks left over for a Gucci handbag from 54 St.
