HOUSTON – A visual feast is in store at Morton Kuehnert Auctioneers & Appraisers as more than 200 lots of quality furniture, art, jewelry and rugs have been chosen for the auction block for the Thursday, Aug. 12, auction. LiveAuctioneers will provide Internet live bidding.
A sampling of some of the interesting items from a large Houston family estate include an elegant pair of Empire-style chairs with cameo backs and scroll arms (estimate $300-$350), a pair of graceful gilt metal and wooden five-light wall sconces more than 4 feet tall ($400-$500) and an exotic Asian motif secretary that towers more than 8 feet high ($250-$300).
Several lots from the estate also include garden furniture and statuary as well as birdcages and plant stands. A decorative ruby and amber art glass and metal five-light chandelier ($100-$150) and a mahogany card table with four chairs with leather seats and cutout backs representing the four suits – hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds – ($200-$250) are also some of the fun items up for grabs. An elaborately carved Renaissance-style oak bed ($450-$500) is another attention grabber from the estate.
The shipment of French antiques has a number of beautiful armoires, buffets and servers up for auction, along with decidedly French pieces such as a pair of petite Louis XV slipper/vanity chairs ($200-$300), several lots of French copper pots, pans and bed warmers, an interesting Louis XVI burled walnut buffet ($400-$500), a majestic Renaissance oak buffet ($400-$400) and an antique oak sewing cabinet ($200-$250).
