Lodestar Auctions proudly presents an exceptional multi-category sale featuring more than a century of fine art, decorative objects, antiques, architectural salvage, studio works, collectibles, and rare curiosities. This diverse offering brings together museum-quality bronzes, 19th-century paintings, mid-century design, Asian art, European craftsmanship, Americana, taxidermy, vintage audio, and unique one-of-a-kind pieces sourced from private collections across the United States. Fine art collectors will discover an impressive selection of original oils, watercolors, etchings, serigraphs, lithographs, and mixed-media works. Highlights include 19th-century portraiture, European genre scenes, winter landscapes, maritime tondos, religious compositions, and modernist abstractions. The auction also features works attributed to listed artists, including Willem de Kooning, Alexander Pope, Carl Herpfer, Thomas Pollock Anshutz, Charles Buck, Denis Paul Noyer, Fredericus Jacobus van Rossum du Chattel, and others. Framed prints, serigraphs, and limited editions add depth to the fine art category, offering accessible options for new and seasoned collectors alike. Sculpture enthusiasts will appreciate a wide range of bronze and metal works, from classical and neoclassical figures to Art Deco designs and cold-painted Austrian bronzes. Notable subjects include satyrs, dolphins, hunters, mythological figures, and historical personalities such as Nicolaus Copernicus. Decorative sculpture extends into alabaster, lucite, and ceramic studio pieces, offering striking statement accents for interior designers and collectors. The auction’s decorative arts and furnishings category is equally robust, featuring French gilt bronze tazzas, cloisonné garniture sets, Bohemian and Chinese art glass, Satsuma-style porcelain, Victorian revival mirrors, Gothic revival lighting, and an array of antique and mid-century chandeliers. Architectural salvage collectors will find oak mantels, beveled glass windows, wrought-iron consoles, and unique corbels. Additional highlights include antique clocks, music boxes, cabinetmaker workbenches, and steampunk-style scientific instruments. Asian art is well represented with Japanese Imari, Chinese famille rose porcelain, Shiwan sancai-style figures, carved soapstone vases, cloisonné plates, and lacquered decorative objects. These pieces showcase intricate craftsmanship and timeless cultural motifs. Collectors of Americana and vintage memorabilia will enjoy taxidermy mounts, Coca-Cola advertising, automotive brochures, license plate collections, pipe-rest assortments, Native American baskets, and historical books. Audio enthusiasts will find vintage tube amplifiers, Denon receivers, Klipsch speakers, and classic fans from Emerson, Westinghouse, and Robbins & Myers. Rounding out the sale is an eclectic mix of jewelry, silver, pottery, glassware, sporting memorabilia, fashion accessories, and rare curios—from German daggers and WWII micro-armor miniatures to Venetian glass decanters, Capodimonte figurines, and Restoration Hardware décor. This auction offers an extraordinary opportunity to acquire distinctive pieces across countless categories. Whether you are a fine art collector, decorator, historian, audiophile, or treasure hunter, Lodestar Auctions invites you to explore this remarkable and varied catalog.Bidder Reviews for Lodestar Auctions (456)

They handled the shipping problem I had.
Don't ever use Live Auctions Shipping. Their bid was $1690.00. Actual cost thru Lodestar was $110.00 m/l. It was a small rug.
