WEST PALM BEACH – A grand and varied assortment of antiques, art and other valuable estate items will be presented at Auction Gallery of the Palm Beaches on Feb. 15-16. LiveAuctioneers will provide Internet live bidding.

Three of the top items are sterling silver. A Victorian montieth, a large silver punch bowl with a scalloped rim, was made in London in 1892 by John Rawling. The circular bowl is chased with scrolls and flowers on a stepped base, mounted with a detachable “crown” cast with masks and scrolls. The bowl is 13 inches in diameter and has an $8,000-$10,000 estimate.

A late 19th-century Chinese export repousse silver tea and coffee service sold by Tiffany is expected to bring $12,000-$16,000. Each of the seven pieces is covered with a flower head and leaf design. Included are a teapot, coffeepot, tilting kettle with lamp, sugar bowl, creamer, spooner and a service tray.

Considered rare, a set of four George III silver gilt and glass open salts by Paul Storr, London, 1808, has a $3,000-$4,000 estimate. Each circular stand, 4 5/8 inches in diameter, is fitted with a cut glass montieth bowl, engraved with a crest and enclosed by a husk border.

A glazed majolica urn from 18th- or 19th-century Italy, possibly Urbino, is all the more impressive with hand-painted allegorical scenes on the sides. The 31-inch-tall urn has a $3,500-$4,500 estimate.

Three 19th-century Chinese School gouaches, 14 3/4 inches by 19 1/2 inches, showing different stages of pottery making, each has an estimate of $1,500-$2,000.

The second day of the auction features the one-owner African-Oceanic collection from the Estate of Nathan Schneider of Palm Beach Gardens. He collected these pieces over the past 45 years.

Additional items of note are jades and ivory, Meissen, Sevres, Chinese Export and Rose Medallion Porcelains, bronzes, Lalique, fine art from the Wunderlich family (founders of Kennedy Galleries, New York) and a contemporary studio art glass collection from an estate in Boca Raton.
