DALLAS — Property from the Collection of Jeep & Carla Harned, an assemblage well known to collectors of art glass, will grab a share of the spotlight in Heritage Auctions’ Tiffany, Lalique & Art Glass Including Art Nouveau & Art Deco Signature Auction on April 28.

A titan of the recording industry, Grover Cleveland “Jeep” Harned founded Music Centers Incorporated in 1955 and spent more than 25 years designing and manufacturing the highest-quality audio equipment on the market. Jeep and his wife Carla, who eventually settled in Durango, Colo., amassed one of the finest collections of art glass, especially strong in Tiffany Studios windows and lamps and Thomas Webb & Sons cameo glass.

“Important collections like the Harneds’ are developed over time, gradually shifting in focus and ultimately including a wide array of pieces,” said Samantha Robinson, consignment director of decorative arts and design. “The selection that we will offer on April 28 tells the story of how the collection of “Jeep” and Carla Harned came to be, with several key pieces represented, and offers something for every art glass collector, from emerging to the most experienced and discerning.”

The present auction boasts more than 50 lots drawn from the Harned collection that demonstrate the full range and depth of their collecting sensibilities. It is led by an exceptional Tiffany Studios Drophead Dragonfly table lamp ($100/150,000), which seems to drip in gold, its rich marigold shade studded with glass jewels and encircled by a swarm of descending dragonflies rises on a gilt bronze Queen Anne’s Lace base.

The Harned collection is joined by another private collection: the Property from an Important Private Chicago Collection of American and European Art, which boasts an exceptional assortment of Tiffany Studios Favrile glass. The collector’s discerning eye is not limited to Tiffany Studios but extends across the Atlantic to include Galle and Daum, pâte de verre by Argy-Rousseau and the Art Deco designs of Maurice Marinot, including a museum-quality perfume bottle ($40/60,000).

The auction concludes with one of our finest selections of R. Lalique glass to date, including an extremely rare Matcho Gros Éléphant ($10/15,000).
Session Two features dozens of other Lalique works, among many other categories. For additional information, 214-528-3500 or www.ha.com.
