Auction Details

Mid-Century Modern and Design

We are thrilled to present our upcoming online-only auction featuring an incredible selection of mid-century modern furniture, art, and decor from top designers of the 20th century. This is a rare chance for collectors and interior designers to acquire quality pieces from the titans of the modernist movement. The highlights of the auction include, a Wharton Esherick signed and dated chair, two original works on paper by Alexander Calder, an abstract lithograph by Joan Miro, Stig Lindberg Pungo and Veckla vases, a rare executive desk by Milo Baughman, and a Mcintosh stereo featuring an MC2105 Amplifier. The Calder works showcase the artist's mastery of line and form. The Miro lithograph exemplifies the dream-like biomorphic shapes that defined his aesthetic. And the Esherick chair and Baughman desk is a superb example of mid-century modern functionality and sleekness. In addition to the highlights already mentioned, this auction includes over a hundred other important mid-century works. Furniture enthusiasts will delight in the array of items by Danish designers, Hans Olsen, Kai Kristiansen, and Axel Christiansen. This carefully curated sale has something for every mid-century enthusiast.
