CHICAGO — Back-to-back same-day sales are scheduled for Hindman on Tuesday, November 14. The day begins with Modern Design at 11 AM Eastern time, showcasing 250 curated lots from top names across the world of design. Following at 4 PM Eastern time is Early 20th Century Design, which boasts names such as Tiffany Studios, Handel, and Gustav Stickley. Both catalogs are now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers (Morning, Afternoon).

Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) was a leader in mid-century Danish design, bringing the clean and often austere look into homes worldwide. The morning session has seven Wegner lots, topped by the iconic Papa Bear lounge chair and ottoman. Also known as the AP Stolen model no. AP-19, the duo features classic teak with fine upholstery and carries an estimate of $8,000-$12,000.

Famed glass studio artist Jon Kuhn (b. 1949-) is also well represented by six lots. Kuhn’s cut-glass approach is designed to accept and then redirect inbound light back to the viewer in unexpected and remarkable ways. His 1995 work Cubed to the 7th features seven art-glass cubes encased into a larger rectangular glass enclosure, producing his trademark lighting effects. The lot is estimated at $15,000-$20,000.

The morning’s top lot is a circa-1965 mirror by Line Vautrin (1913-1997), the famed metalworker whose jewelry and decor items are highly treasured by collectors and designers alike. The lot is sold with a certificate of authenticity issued by the Comite Line Vautrin, and is estimated at $50,000-$70,000.

The afternoon session includes a small selection of Tiffany Studios items, dominated by a magnificent stained leaded glass window Musician in the Cove. Dating to circa 1890, the window features a woman playing a stringed instrument with a view of the shore behind her shoulders. The 73.5 by 44in piece is estimated at $15,000-$30,000.

Stickley furniture and lighting collectors will find plenty of opportunities as well. A sideboard by Gustav Stickley (1858-1942) known as #901 Eastwood, NY is made of fumed oak with iron hardware. Measuring 39.5 by 50 by 23in, it carries an estimate of $8,000-$12,000.

Noted industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague (1883-1960) is remembered for helping create the concept of industrial design, along with other luminaries such as Raymond Loewy and Henry Dreyfus. His groundbreaking designs for Kodak; Texaco; the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad; and Steuben / Corning Glass are among his career highlights. This set of Embassy glasses for competitor Libbey Glass totals 18, along with two related glasses. The lot is estimated at $3,000-$5,000.
