ALAMEDA, Calif. – Michaan’s Auctions’ 20th Century Decorative Arts Auction will be held on Friday, Aug. 12. Important Art Nouveau, modernist and contemporary items will be offered, including a selection of significant works by Tiffany Studios. Particularly worth noting is a Tiffany Tulip Lamp, beautifully fashioned with richly colored blooms of red, purple and fuchsia tones. It carries a $100,000-$125,000 estimate.

LiveAuctioneers.com will provide Internet live bidding.

Also being offered is a rare Bernhard Pankok etagere, circa 1900 ($10,000-$15,000). Created during a period when Pankok was first beginning to find substantial recognition for his furnishings, this wonderful and scarce piece is a fine example of his craftsmanship and style.

From yet another prominent artist is an exquisite lidded ceramic box estimated at $8,000-$10,000. The modern Kitaoji Rosanjin box holds a distinguished provenance, once being held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo as well as the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco.

An exceptional group of glass from the Lundberg Glass Collection is also up for sale. The Lundberg Studios pieces are exclusively from the private collection of Steven Lundberg and should generate strong collector interest.

The aforementioned items will be auctioned on Aug. 12 at Michaan’s Auctions main gallery at 2751 Todd St., Alameda, CA 94501 with bidding to commence at 10 a.m. Pacific. Previews will be held Aug. 5-7, the morning of the sale and by appointment.
