PALM BEACH, Fla. – Hindman’s Palm Beach Collections sale Jan. 25-26 saw fantastic results in multiple categories. Bidders participating by phone, absentee bid and four online bidding platforms sent the auction sessions well past its low estimate to a total of $655,313. The Palm Beach team was thrilled to see such a strong start to its 10th anniversary year. Absentee and Internet live bidding was available through LiveAuctioneers.
The auction featured objects from the collection of Mrs. A. Edward Allinson of Palm Beach and Southampton, including a collection of paintings and watercolors by American female artists of the first half of the 20th century.
Outstanding results from the Allinson collection were seen in the sale of Jane Peterson’s artworks, with Peterson’s Along Water’s Edge (above) selling for $22,500, more than seven times its estimate and resulting as the top lot of the auction. Tiger Lilies and Zinnias (lot 117) and Two Macaws (118) by Peterson also surpassed their estimates, realizing $10,000 and $5,120 respectively.
Strong interest was also shown in the decorative arts pieces presented from the collection. In particular, a Waterford cut glass eight light chandelier (lot 22) ultimately realized more than triple its presale estimate, selling for $13,750.
A set of four Victorian silver figural salts by E. & J. Barnard (lot 23) also exceeded its estimate and realized $12,500.
A 308-piece BR Hemple .800 silver flatware service (lot 33) also received great interest and sold for $11,250. An intricate Chinese brass-mounted gilt-decorated black lacquer cabinet (lot 6) also saw strong excitement from bidders and sold for $9,600 against an estimate of $5,000-$7,000.
