CHESTER, N.Y. – William Jenack Estate Appraisers and Auctioneers will open the spring season with a sale at their New York facility on Sunday, April 3, commencing at 11 a.m. Eastern. LiveAuctioneers will provide Internet live bidding. The sale will include several lots of vintage watches, jewelry, Chinese art, silver, 19th-20th century furniture and decorative accessories, carpets, sculpture and much more.

The sale will include over 50 lots of artwork from the 17th through the 20th centuries. Artist’s such as Peter Max, Hans Anderson Brendekilde, Seymour Fogel, School of William Matthew Prior, Circle of Daniel Gardner and Robert Gemmell Hutchison will be represented.

The Peter Max is a mixed medium work and part of his Statue of Liberty series. The Brendekilde is a verdant pastoral Danish landscape. In direct contrast to the impressionist work is that of Seymour Fogel. This work is part of his abstract newspaper series. Also of interest will be two pairs of French School portraits of the 17th-18th century that were purchased at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor sale held at Sotheby’s in 1997.

Jenack is again offering a number of vintage wristwatches and pocket watches. Watches of note are to include Rolex Tudors, Omega Constellation chronometer, Ernest Borel Cocktail wristwatch, Retro Omega 14K wristwatch, International Schaefhausen, Le Coultre 14K Mystery, Waltham Vanguard Lossier Railroad pocket watch and many other fine pocket watches.

With gold and silver prices on the rise jewelry has been selling quite strong, much for the value of the metal, but the jewelry offering has value beyond that. A Tiffany Anemone Brooch/Pendant in 18K yellow gold and set with seven full-cut diamonds will be offered. Several pieces of vintage and antique Renaissance-style gem and pearl set lots have garnered much interest in previous sales and are expected to do so again. Another standout lot would be a fine 2.70-carat brilliant-cut diamond; clarity VS2; color J.

There will be some superb lots in the accessories and decorative object section of the sale including two pairs of French parcel gilt bronze figural candelabra, a pair of French bronze cherub form wall sconces, an American Chippendale mirror and a fine French cased skeleton clock. In the ceramic arena Jenack will be offering a pair of 1780s Dr. Wall period Worcester bowls in wonderful condition and bearing the crescent mark, a pair of Royal Sphinx-Delft chargers, an Amphora handled vase and a fine Bernard Moore flambé art pottery vase.

The auctioneer notes this is an eclectic sale with something for everyone and a price range that all can afford.

Previews will be held at the William Jenack auction facility located at 62 Kings Highway Bypass, Chester NY 10918 on Wednesday, March 30, to Saturday, April 2, from noon-5 p.m. Eastern; day of sale 9-10:45 a.m.
