Additional makers represented include David Yurman, Corum, Bertolucci, and Tag Heuer, offering both classic and contemporary design. Sterling silver is a notable category, highlighted by Tiffany & Co.

March 2026: Day Two
Day Two places significant emphasis on postwar and contemporary fine art, led by Hughie Lee-Smith’s 1996 The Yellow Dress, acquired from June Kelly Gallery, New York and Frank Bowling R.A.’s mixed-media work Rosignol (1996), acquired from Peg Alston Gallery, New York. These major works anchor the session and represent two internationally recognized artists whose works are held in prominent museum collections.

A select group of large-format French lithographic posters adds depth, led by Leonetto Cappiello’s Le Thermogène and Cognac Pellisson, alongside works by Faria, Stall, Bellenger, and others. The session is further distinguished by strong design and furnishings. Highlights include a 1945 Steinway & Sons Model M baby grand piano from a prominent Grosse Pointe Park, MI collector; a Charles and Ray Eames 670 lounge chair and 671 ottoman; and additional mid-century modern seating and case pieces from Michigan estates.Bidder Reviews for DuMouchelles (860)

Excellent Packaging
When you pay a decent amount for something you expect it to be packaged well. That's not always the case, unfortunately, but the packaging of the books I won from DuMouchelles was excellent. Thank you!
