Important Lighting & Fine Antiques
Fontaine’s
Auction Gallery has over 40 years experience in presenting a
diversity of antiques at auction, and this November, our Autumn 2003 Auction
once again is assembled to appeal to a wide range of collecting interests
and budgets. From the expected finds among the lots at our traditional
uncatalogued, Friday evening Discovery Session (items not a part of this web
offering), to the superior quality Victorian Furniture by significant makers,
beautiful period lighting of all levels, to the excitement of offering the
Throne Chair used in Cecil B. DeMille’s Oscar-winning classic film, The Ten
Commandments. Browse our auction catalog and you’ll find we’ve brought
together interests from a host of collecting areas. Lighting offered will
showcase dozens of fine Tiffany, Pairpoint and Handel examples. Victorian,
carved and other period furniture will feature works by Belter, Meeks, Horner
and Herter Bros. An array of excellent art glass will include superior examples
by Tiffany, Loetz, Steuben, Galle and others. Exceptional clocks, bronzes and
many special interest items – as well as monumental Nippon and Amphora pottery
examples. Altogether, this will be a particularly diverse and well-rounded
event.
