The grouping is led by a highly coveted circa-1910 Peony Border chandelier, estimated at $80,000-$120,000, which hails from a private collection in Chicago; and a circa-1905 Poppy table lamp from a Florida estate, with vibrant red poppies surrounded by blue and yellow background glass. Its estimate is $70,000-$90,000.

Not one but two fine examples of Tiffany Studios Dragonfly table lamps will be on offer. The first is estimated at $50,000-$75,000 and has yellow and amber toned leaded glass with a Pepper base, and the second has a sky blue and spring green leaded glass and an estimate of $40,000-$60,000.

Shining standouts among the silver offerings will be a circa-1881 Victorian silver tray by John Hunt & Robert Roskell of London, estimated at $8,000-$12,000. It is set on four claw feet with animal heads having a berry cluster below, and it weighs approximately 144.37 troy ounces.

The second session, taking place on Sunday, September 25, kicks off with a selection of fine art led by a lively, undated Jon Corbino (American, 1905-1964) oil on canvas titled Fishermen in the Harbor, estimated at $8,000-$12,000. Offered alongside it will be a 1907 Ernst Karl Eugen Koerner (German, 1846-1927) painting, Sunset Cityscape of Iraq, estimated at $10,000-$15,000, and a Joseph Gustave Cheret (French, 1838-1894) bronze of children frolicking, estimated at $8,000-$12,000.
