BRANFORD, CONN. — New England Auctions rounded out the month of June with two consecutive auctions conducted June 17-18. Native American from Private Collections took place on June 17, offering 227 lots of Native jewelry, bags, baskets, pottery and much more, while June 18 saw 295 lots cross the block in the firm’s June Estates and Collections sale. The highest price of either sale came from June Estates and Collections and belonged to a carved giltwood spread-winged figural eagle console table with a red marble top, which soared past its $4/6,000 estimate to earn $11,970, with buyer’s premium. The console was either American or English, made circa 1800 and had provenance to the collection of Bruce and Donna Wendel. Additional highlights from both sales will be featured in an upcoming issue.
