CHESTER, N.Y. – William Jenack Estate Appraisers and Auctioneers will conduct a fine art and antique auction highlighted by American and European works of art, a collection of Chinese art and ceramics, Waterford crystal, jewelry and accessories on Sunday, July 8. The sale will be held at the Jenack gallery, with Internet live bidding through LiveAuctioneers.com. The sale will commence at 11 a.m. EDT.
Artwork will perhaps be the strongest section of the sale with works by James Hamilton, Douglas Arthur Teed, David Burliuk and Maud Humphrey.
The work by James Hamilton is titled Egyptian Temple and has a striking evening sky. The canvas by Teed is stark by contrast and is a monochromatic desert landscape with a snake. Maud Humphrey’s watercolor is of a toddler seated in her Sunday best. Humphrey (1868-1940) was well-known illustrator and mother of actor Humphrey Bogart.
Accessories will include a Eli and Samuel Terry mahogany pillar and scroll shelf clock in complete and working condition with the original glass reworked by Lee Davis of York, Pa., an elaborate bronze fountain of a nude seated upon a shell surrounded by dolphins, a Vespa scooter and a classical revival chandelier featuring phoenix birds and pulled feather art glass shades.
Several vintage timepieces will be offered including a Tempor Watch Co. Masonic pocket watch, 14K Tiffany & Co. presentation pocket watch, Rolex 14K dress wristwatch and a Berthoud & Brothers 19th century pocket watch, among several others.
Additionally, there will be many furnishings, bronzes, chandeliers, carpets and rugs available to the highest bidder.
