Headlining the October 20 Chic and Antique Estates Treasure auction is property consigned by the highly-regarded Rhode Island-based collector Stanley Weiss. For more than 30 years, Stanley developed an eye for the early American aesthetic, from Queen Anne through the Neoclassical periods. His passion and enthusiasm for quality craftsmanship and select woods were evident in each piece he owned.
Of particular note is a Chippendale mahogany block-front desk from Massachusetts, which carries an estimate of $4,000-$8,000. Elevated with a fan-carved interior, this piece is truly special. Another eye-catcher is a monumental classical mahogany bookcase attributed to Joseph Meeks and Sons, estimated at $3,000-$5,000. Highlights from other consignments include a George III carved giltwood overmantel mirror with chinoiserie decorations, estimated at $5,000-$10,000.
An exceptional group of metalwork is led by a bison-decorated silver and copper covered, antler-mounted footed bowl by Joseph Heinrich, estimated at $5,000-$10,000.
For those who prefer 20th-century design, there is a red leopard turned maple bowl by Philip Moulthrop. Estimated at $2,000-$4,000, this piece is a shining example of his work.
Finally, for those who want something that will truly spice up their life, Nye & Company is offering an award-winning, frame-off restored 1962 Roman Red Corvette with both hard and soft tops. This classic American sports car, the one Prince sang about, is perfect to satisfy one’s need for speed. Its estimate is $60,000-$90,000.
