CLINTONDALE, N.Y. – On Monday, March 6, Kensington Estate Auction will present a breathtaking on-line auction consisting of 179 lots. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
The New York Yacht Club’s cutter The Volunteer successfully defended the America’s Cup in 1887. The Danish-American artist Thomas Willis fashioned an oil painting of the cutter with riggings of silk stitched through the canvas, giving it a sense of three-dimensionality. His ship portrait, titled Volunteer, has a modest estimate of $1,000-$3,000. While it is an example of exceptional art, so too is the watercolor of Eugene Lejeune’s Children Playing With Dogs, Margaret Wynn’s British equestrian painting and Fulvio De Sorrento’s luminous painting of the Italian coast.
An astounding collection of antiquarian books from the 16th century and forward is underscored by Martin Luther’s 1652 tome Divine Discourses At His Table. This first edition contains controversial conversations about scriptures and sacraments. Published in London, England, it was translated from German into English by Captain Henry Bell. Its estimate is $1,000-$2,000.
Other antiquarian books to be offered include De Divina Natura by Marcus Tullius Cicero (1508); Morias Enkomion’s The Praise of Folly by Desiderius Erasmus (1780); Chronological Tables of Europe From The Nativity Of Our Savior To The Year 1703; 1803 Danse Macabre (Dances of Death) after Hans Holbein, etched by David Deutchar; and the extraordinary 1648 Dutch Biblical Figures of Gospels (Bibelsche Figueren: Old and New Testament With Biblical Illustrations). Each of these exceptional books contain etchings and illustrations.
Jan Barboglio pair of forged iron candlesticks, estimated at $400-$600
