The unusual and eclectic headline at Rivich’s By Land Or Sea sale Nov. 19

Victorian Horn Chair, estimated at $750-$1,500 at Rivich Auction.

CHICAGO — Nearly every auction has a few lots that are so different and unique, they command attention and interest from auctioneers and bidders alike. Rivich Auction has assembled its Sunday, November 19 By Land Or Sea sale around, well, a sea of unusual items that makes it a catalog worth browsing. It is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Items taken from nature are a dominant theme in the auction. A plush chair seemingly fashioned entirely from steer horns — legs, frame and back — and cowhide encapsulates the sale perfectly. In what is described as “very nice condition for its age,” the chair is estimated at $750-$1,500.

On the more conventional side is a pair of Georgian-style red leather armchairs with nailhead trim. Structurally sound with minor wear, the set carries an estimate of $500-$1,000.

Returning to the natural realm, a zebra-skin rug measuring 128 by 76in joins the lineup. It has small tears and some typical wear, and is estimated at $500-$900.

Five lots described as “taxidermy” are featured, including mounts and full-body examples. Not quite taxidermy but incorporating moose antlers in a Black Forest design is this handsome mirror. It measures 56 by 40in and would make an impressive statement in any outdoors-themed environment. It has an estimate of $500-$1,000.

Returning to more traditional looks is a collection of Heywood-Wakefield furniture. Since 1826, the company has been furnishing American homes and offices with quality items that last for generations. All the lots have low estimates, including this bookcase, estimated at $500-$750.
