Fifty-plus Tiffany lots enliven Fontaine’s Fine & Decorative Arts sale Jan. 27-28

Tiffany Studios Peony table lamp, estimated at $125,000-$175,000 at Fontaine's.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Fontaine’s Auction Gallery presents a two-day Fine & Decorative Arts auction that will include more than 750 lots of 19th- and 20th-century lighting, art glass, leaded glass windows, fine silver, porcelain, marble and bronze statuary, paintings, American and European furniture, clocks, watches, and jewelry. The Saturday, January 27 and Sunday, January 28 catalogs are now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

More than 50 Tiffany Studios lots headline the auction. Dating to circa 1910 is the sale’s highest-estimated lot, a Peony table lamp with a four-footed stand mounted to wood. Consigned from a New York estate, the lamp carries a $125,000-$175,000 estimate. Also included is a collection of favrile glass fragments from Tiffany Studios, all 3in in length or smaller. They also date to around 1910 and are together estimated at $1,000-$1,500.

Birger Sandzén (1871-1954) loved visiting and painting Rocky Mountain State Park in Colorado, and Mountain Lake is a classic example of his highly sought-after work. The oil on board dates to around 1943 and is accompanied by an appraisal from the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery. The lot is estimated at $30,000-$50,000.

A circa-1900 American stained glass window depicts a man playing the flute, a dancing maiden with cymbals, and two women and a child observing. An array of foliage and flowers is set behind the figures with a Greek key border, a column and a torch. The 61 by 62in window is estimated at $20,000-$30,000.

Rounding out the highlights is a 19th-century Moorish inlaid wood wedding bench that is estimated at $5,000-$7,500.

GENESEO, N.Y. — An amazing collection of antique American fire alarms and fire pumper lanterns will be offered at Cottone Auctions‘ Art & Antiques two-day sale, taking place Wednesday, November 29 and Thursday, November 30. The catalogs are now open for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

The first session’s top-estimated lot is a fascinating study from 1950, Oil Well, by Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975). A leader in the American Regionalist art movement, Oil Well captures the essence of Benton’s oeuvre: everyday people at work in iconic environments. The unframed watercolor on paper is estimated at $50,000-$80,000.

Charles Allen Winter (1869-1942) was a painter who would work as a muralist for the Depression-era Works Progress Administration (WPA), creating public art displays that still exist to this day. He was also associated with the Roycrofters, illustrating many of founder Elbert Hubbard’s “Little Sermons” in Cosmopolitan magazine. Pandora is an oil on canvas documenting the fateful moment from the myth in which Pandora opens the box and unleashes a host of evils upon the world. It was originally hung in Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo, New York, which opened just two years before Winter’s death. Pandora is estimated at $8,000-$12,000.

Two classic Arts & Crafts lamps are included in the Day One lineup as well. A Duffner & Kimberly Poppy floor lamp and a Tiffany Studios Daffodil table lamp, both circa 1920, carry individual estimates of $30,000-$50,000.

Twenty-one antique fire alarms are a feature of the second session. The devices were triggered either manually or by the presence of a fire, ringing loud, shrill bell reports to warn inhabitants of the danger. The alarms also communicated the presence of fire to the local fire station, originally by telegraph, enabling firefighters to roll to the scene quickly.

First patented in 1852, when fires regularly killed people without warning, the fire alarm industry would come to be dominated by Gamewell, which by 1910 virtually controlled the American market for the devices. Gamewell continues in the fire alarm and suppression business today as a division of Honeywell. This Gamewell alarm from the late 1800s is estimated at $5,000-$8,000.

A four-lot group of fire pumper lanterns is also included. Affixed to the antique fire apparatus as a form of marker light, the lanterns feature classic 19th-century styling. The top-estimated lot in the group, at $2,000-$4,000, is a Merrill Hose Company lantern from Canandaigua, New York.

GENESEO, N.Y. — Cottone Auctions held a two-day event September 29-30 with fine art, antiques and silver headlining the first session, and clocks and time pieces finishing the sale. Complete results are available at LiveAuctioneers (Day 1, Day 2).

The sale included a number of Tiffany Studios lamps, and buyers paid close attention to these lots, sending many beyond their estimates. The first day’s top lot was a Tiffany Studios Poppy table lamp, apparently reunited with the base coming from a Christie’s 1992 auction and the shade purchased from esteemed Tiffany specialist Lillian Nassau in the same year. Estimated at $50,000-$80,000, the lamp hammered at $124,000 ($155,000 with buyer’s premium).

An Andy Warhol 1975 screenprint on paper of the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger blew past its $50,000-$80,000 estimate to land at $110,000 ($137,500 with buyer’s premium). The artwork is signed in pencil by Warhol and in felt-tip pen by Jagger, and is number 204 of a 250 (plus 50 artist proofs) edition.

The timepiece segment of the sale was dominated by what was called a “rare and fine” Aaron Dodd Crane carousel year-going astronomical clock. Manufactured by Boston Clock Company around 1850, the gilt frame on marble base appears to be in nearly perfect original condition. Cottone had estimated it at $30,000-$50,000, but a determined bidder stayed the course until the lot hammered at $65,000 ($81,250 with buyer’s premium).

Vintage Bakelite radios were an interesting inclusion in the sale, and without exception, all did very well. The top-selling Bakelite lot of the day was a circa-1941 Motorola Aero-Vane Model no. 51×16 table radio. Estimated at $500-$800, it hammered for $3,500 ($4,375 with buyer’s premium).

DALLAS — Heritage Auctions explores the creative bonds between American and French designers during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods with Pursuit of Beauty, a 475-lot event featuring the biggest names in period design on Thursday, October 26. The catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

In the early 1900s, the United States and France were both at the top of their design games, with Tiffany Studios going head to head with titans such as R. Lalique and Daum. The result was a stunning array of objects that now fascinate collectors worldwide.

“I am, along with Nick Dawes, Heritage’s senior vice president of special collections, honored to present our third Pursuit of Beauty auction of 2023 — our most successful year to date,” said Heritage’s Director of Decorative Arts and Design Samantha Robinson. “This auction features a wide variety of fresh-to-market treasures drawn primarily from private collections and estates.”

From the American side comes this beautiful circa-1905 Tiffany Studios leaded glass and patinated bronze jeweled geometric table lamp. Both its shade and base are accented with matching rows of blue favrile “jewels” — iridescent cabochons that evoke blue, gray and black sea pearls. It is estimated at $60,000-$80,000.

Beyond lamps, Tiffany Studios also pursued art glass, such as this circa-1899 Cypriote favrile glass vase, produced immediately before the firm’s Grand Prix-winning presentation at the 1900 Paris Exposition. Cypriote glass was inspired by ancient Cyprian glass artifacts excavated by Luigi Palma di Cesnola in the 1860s, with the bubbled and pockmarked texture characteristic of the Tiffany Studios line. It carries an estimate of $10,000-$15,000.

Heritage’s entries from France are equally impressive. A Cinq Chevaux mascot, aka hood ornament from René Lalique, a design from circa 1925, is a stunning example of Art Deco, featuring five rearing horses in clear glass. It is estimated at $7,000-$9,000.

An R. Lalique electric blue glass Poissons vase, its design dating to circa 1921, is in nearly perfect original condition and comes from a Bel Air, California estate. It is estimated at $12,000-$16,000.

NEW YORK — A vase made during the Pablo Picasso-Madoura ceramic works partnership in Vallauris, France comes to market at Capsule Auctions‘ Art and Design auction on Wednesday, September 27. The complete catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Picasso (1881-1973) first discovered Madoura pottery during a 1946 art exhibition in Vallauris. He met the owners, Suzanne and Georges Ramié, who invited him to their facility. Before long, a partnership bloomed and Picasso ceramics streamed out of Madoura — by some estimates, more than 9,000 pieces.

So desirable are Picasso-Madoura ceramics that a Christie’s South Kensington sale in 2012 brought an incredible $12,584,141 from just 500-odd lots that came directly from the Madoura works.

Capsule’s example features Picasso’s trademark owl design, is titled Viasge et Hibou (Face and Owl), is marked “Edition Picasso / Madoura” and carries number 114 from a 200-piece edition. Standing 9.5in in height and with provenance from a collection at The Beekman, New York, it has an estimate of $25,000-$30,000.

Fresh from an East Hampton collection is a circa-1910 Tiffany Studios 10-light Lily table lamp. Made with favrile glass and bronze, its eight shades are marked “L.C.T. Favrile” and the base is impressed “TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/381.” It is estimated at $5,000-$7,000.

High-style Modernism is also a part of the Capsule sale. A pair of Tommi Parzinger brass table lamps with linen shades in generally good condition is estimated at $4,000-$6,000.
