ATLANTA – A monumental Art Deco-style bronze jardiniere sold for $26,620, a Cartier-style 18K gold and diamond panther collar necklace finished at $20,520, and a brass plaque depicting a stylized face by Roy Lichtenstein realized $14,520 in Ahlers & Ogletree’s three-session April Estates & Collections auction held April 20, 21 and 22 in Atlanta.

The Art Deco-style bronze jardiniere, 54½in tall, was after a vase by Pierre Lenoir (French, 1879-1953) and Marcel Guillard (French, 1896-1932), for Etling, Paris. It was sculpted in the form of two semi-nude, draped maidens standing back-to-back, supporting an ovoid urn between them, resting on a rectangular base and having all-over verdigris patination.

The heavy 18K gold and diamond panther collar necklace, made in the manner of Cartier, contained about 364 round brilliant cut diamonds of SI-2 clarity and H-I-J average color, weighing approximately 10.00 carats. It had a bead prong set into the center of what is described as “walking jaguar” motif links with both high polish and matte finishes and a tension clasp.

The brass plaque by Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997) was titled Modern Head Relief, dated to 1970 and had a copper plate en verso with an etched signature and edition number “70/100.” It measured 24 by 17¾in. Lichtenstein was a leading figure in the new art movement of the 1960s. His work defined the premise of Pop art through parody.

Additional highlights from the auction, which totaled $1,333,851, include Study of a Brown Bay Horse by Rosa Marie Bonheur (French, 1822-1899), a signed landscape painting depicting a standing chestnut brown bay horse with trees in the distance, which realized $15,730; and a two-sided signed and dated painting by Emile Thysebaert (Belgian, 1873-1963), titled Hommes au travail (Men at Work) and Hommes au travail sur un port, brought $11,495.

A pair of Italian low octagonal form purple-veined marble pedestals, possibly Breccia Capraia, each having a shaped capital and plinth base, went for $7,865; while a large, 54in-tall bronze and parcel gilt standing winged figure of Cupid holding a bow with verdigris patination to his hair, after Auguste Moreau (French, 1834-1917), titled Cupid with Bow and Quiver, made $7,260.

In the furniture category, a set of eight English mahogany dining chairs in the George III Chippendale taste, dating to the 19th or 20th century, comprising one arm chair and seven side chairs, achieved $7,260. Also, an Eames for Herman Miller 670 and 671 lounge chair and ottoman set, both having rosewood veneer shells and red leather upholstery, appropriately marked to the underside, reached $6,665.

Asian objects proved popular with bidders, as a pair of Chinese cloisonne-on-brass vases with trumpet necks, each 19in tall and each side depicting a different flower symbolizing the four seasons, attained $6,665; and a Japanese-style red and black lacquer desk with a matching chair achieved $5,445.
