Our sale will take place on October 23rd, 2021, at 10am Eastern Time (EDT). It features 370 lots of antiques, art, sterling silver, jewelry, and paintings, as well as a number of works of art from Asia.
The auction starts with over 65 lots of fine estate jewelry and timepieces. Our range of earrings, rings, bracelets, brooches, and necklaces feature dazzling jewels and materials including diamonds over 1 ctw, 14K and 18K gold, jade and jadeite, sapphires, pearls, and more. The highlight is a stunning 18K dragonfly brooch with ruby eyes, a sapphire body, and over 140 diamonds over its wings and back. The timepieces and clocks in this sale are no less impressive, with the grandest being a Neoclassical gilt bronze clock from Black, Starr & Frost with its original beveled glass and mercury pendulum. Other makers include Geneve, Elgin, Omega, Lauterwasser, and more from France, Japan, and throughout the world.
From there, the sale transitions to lots of Asian art, including over 100 lots of Chinese porcelains, paintings, snuff bottles, and other works of art, as well as nearly 100 lots of Japanese bronzes, lacquer, woodblocks, porcelain, and many antique arms and related accoutrements. Of our Chinese art, significant works include a cloisonne candle stand dating from the 16th-17th century, a bronze censer from the Ming dynasty, and various export silver pieces. And of our Japanese antiques, the finest pieces include a signed wakizashi dating from the Kamakura era of the 13th century; a ranked, Edo-period katana by Fujiwara Kagehira; and a hand-painted book with an imperial edict or mikotonori, which includes a 56-foot-long foldout with watercolor scenes of battle. Also included in this section is a stone sculpture of Shakyamuni Buddha made in the Gandhara region of Pakistan during the 2nd-3rd centuries CE.
