NEW YORK – It’s astonishing what the right thing in the right place can do for the look and feel of an interior. Some pieces are functional and become beloved household objects and even heirlooms. Others might have been purpose-made for a specific task that was rendered obsolete generations ago. Still others, from the moment of their conception, had the sole job of looking beautiful and bringing joy. On Wednesday, November 3, starting at 7 pm Eastern time, Jasper52 will hold an auction titled Exquisite Decorative Arts, containing 353 lots of objects, keepsakes, and perfect little touches that make a room sing. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
