PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Fontaine’s Auction Gallery will present a fine and decorative arts auction on Saturday, May 21, beginning at 11 am Eastern time, featuring 19th- and 20th-century lighting, art glass, leaded glass windows, fine silver, marble and bronze statuary, American and European furniture, jewelry and porcelains. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

Of the 70 lots in the auction made by Tiffany, about two dozen are Tiffany Studios lamps in a range of desirable patterns, including Pomegranate, Linenfold, Daffodil and Apple Blossom. Expected to lead the day is a circa-1910 Turtle-Back floor lamp in leaded glass and patinated bronze, having the base and shade impressed “Tiffany Studios, New York.” It stands 70in tall, boasts a 22in diameter shade, and is estimated at $40,000-$60,000. Another fine example in this desirable pattern is an early 20th-century Turtle-Back torchiere, estimated at $25,000-$35,000.

Tiffany’s table lamps are well represented in the auction, led by a circa-1910 Tulip table lamp with a 16in diameter shade impressed “Tiffany Studios, New York, 1906.” It is estimated at $30,000-$50,000.

Cars don’t appear often at Fontaine’s, but buyers will likely be revved up by the presence of a 1993 Bentley Brooklands sedan. It has only 32,920 miles on its odometer and carries an estimate of $20,000-$30,000.

Chief among the silver selections is a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver pitcher, estimated at $10,000-$15,000. It dates to circa 1871-1890 and weighs 78.56 troy ounces. This pitcher features a grotesque head set among leaves and berries above a chased neck and gadrooned body, and it looks similar to an example in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Equally alluring is a French mid-19th-century Napoleon III gilt bronze mantel clock, decorated with cherubs, scrollwork and foliate and estimated at $8,000-$12,000.

Rounding out the auction will be an American jeweled and leaded glass floral window with a dove in flight above trumpeted flowers, estimated at $10,000-$15,000, and a late 19th-century Berlin (KPM) porcelain plaque, titled Kiss of the Wave and painted after Gustav Wertheimer. It is estimated at $8,000-$12,000.
