WINDSOR, CONN. -- Albert Sack rated this sideboard "best" in his
1950 classic, Fine Points of Furniture. Apparently, the
experts still agree. At Nadeau's this past weekend, the
swell-front Massachusetts cabinet handily exceeded its $30/40,000
estimate, selling to Colchester, Conn. dealer Arthur Liverant for
$107,000, including premium.
Fifty lots later, an Orientalist painting of 1874, by American
artist Edwin Lord Weeks, fetched $85,000. "We had 30 or 40 calls
from Europe on this one," noted auctioneer Edwin Nadeau.
Look for a complete report in a future issue.
