ALAMEDA, CALIF. — Michaan’s August gallery auction on Friday, August 18, features many great names like Georg Jensen, Olga Fisch, Swarovski, Don Kingman and Ansel Adams, just to name a few. The jewelry sparkles with diamonds, pink sapphires and emeralds. The Asian art section is looking sharp featuring cloisonne, Samurai Wakizashi swords, Buddhas and famille rose porcelains.

The furniture and decoratives section of the sale leads off with a four-piece Georg Jensen sterling silver tea and coffee set ($1,2/1,800). Next is a Lucien Lelong sleeveless dance dress ($400/600). This piece was deaccessioned from the Monterey History & Art Association. The association has deaccessioned more than 1,000 lots to Michaan’s and all proceeds benefit the guarding force in preserving Monterey’s history since 1931. The sale also features a camel hair runner ($1,2/1,800) and an Olga Fisch Modern wool pile folklore rug ($700-$1,000).

The fine art section features American artists. Ansel Adams starts off with “Coast Near Timber Cove.” This is a gelatin silver print mounted on board ($4/6,000). A familiar favorite is Dong Kingman with a watercolor of a fishing scene in San Francisco ($2/4,000). Michaan’s is also offering an oil on canvas, “Salisbury Cathedral” by Stan Painter ($1/1,500), and a unique chess set, “Law and Order,” created by Doug Anderson ($2/3,000).
