BEACHWOOD, Ohio – Neue Auctions has scheduled a Pandemic Relief Auction for Saturday, May 30, at 11 a.m. Eastern time, in an effort to support local antiques and fine arts dealers in and around the Cleveland area. The online auction will consist of many “old new-stock” antiques, decorative art, fine art and jewelry, all consigned by local northeast Ohio dealers. Bid absentee or live online through LiveAuctioneers.

 “Many shops have had to close and many shows have been canceled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions. “We have a reduced seller rate for these dealers, so bidders can rest assured that any participation in this sale will directly impact these dealers who will realize a greater portion of proceeds from each lot purchased.”

In addition, from May 1 through May 31, LiveAuctioneers will donate 15% of its proceeds from all first purchases made by bidders who are new to LiveAuctioneers exclusively to the Meals on Wheels COVID Response Fund. “Please help support our local economy and your favorite dealers by participating in this auction,” Maciejewski said.

With a presale estimate of $4,000-$6,000, a dazzling Tiffany 14K white gold and diamond ring (above) is a strong candidate for top lot of the auction. The 1.20-carat diamond is beautifully set in 14K yellow gold expandable shank. Also, a Potter and Mellen necklace, boasting 57 sterling silver 8mm hammered balls on an 18½-inch strand, marked “925 Dobbs” on the clasp, should bring $250-$350. The necklace, with Potter and Mellen folder, is polished and in very nice condition.

The fine art category is plentiful and will feature an oil on canvas painting of Two Pigeons on a Ledge, signed and dated lower right (“1879”) by Italian artist Marz Sofra and nicely housed in a heavy gilt frame, 23 inches by 29 inches (est. $1,500-$2,500); and an oil on canvas by Enrico Del Bono (Italian, 1915-2006), titled Still Life of Flowers in Vase with Surreal Landscape, artist signed and contained in a 28-by-23½-inch Dutch-style ebonized frame (est. $600-$900).
