BLOOMFIELD, N.J. – Nye and Company’s auction June 2 and 3 contains over 800 lots and features large offering of fine art, English and Continental furniture and decorations. The sale is composed primarily of a single-owner collection from upstate New York.
LiveAuctioneers.com will provide absentee and Internet live bidding.
The private collection – years in the making – was formerly housed in a Federal house along the banks of the scenic Susquehanna River.
The fine art is diverse and includes American works, such as the oil on canvas mountain landscape by Daniel Garber (American, 1880-1958), which has an attached plaque reading “Gift of Miss Lois Whitney.”
The furniture features two Victorian bent metal sling-back rocking chairs, attributed to R.W. Winfied & Co. of England, one of which is pictured below.
Some of the sterling silver includes a three-piece vintage Jensen coffee service and an elaborate Martele for Gorham Art Nouveau period four-piece coffee service and tray (below), early 20th century.
