DOUGLASS, KAN. — The estate collection of David and Ann Sidlinger of North Carolina, mostly lamps and furniture pieces, will come up for bid on Saturday, September 23, at 9:30 am Central time by Woody Auction, online and live in the firm’s auction hall. All of the 381 lots will be sold to the highest bidder, absolute, with no reserves.

An automated online auction slated for the day prior — Friday, September 22, starting at 8 am Central time — will kick off the weekend of Sidlinger collection items. That sale will consist of 244 total lots.
Three items in the sale — a desk and two banquet lamps — could end up vying for top lot honors. The original Wooten desk is a Wells Fargo model. It boasts two large barrel front doors with mail slot, a latching drop-down desk, more than 50 drawers, a maple and walnut interior and ebony highlights. Measuring 69 by 40 by 29 inches, it should bring $10/12,000.
Another noteworthy furniture item is an Eames midcentury lounge chair and ottoman set by Herman Miller, black leather with a 14-inch seat height ($1/2,000). Bidders need to know that all large furniture items in the auction will not be in the Douglass auction hall and must be picked up near
Greensboro, N.C., or shipped via professional shipper by November 4.
The American Brilliant cut glass banquet lamps include a Libbey example in the Ellsmere pattern, 37 inches tall, original kerosene, having five parts including a skirted base, long center column or stem, font, shade and modern replacement chimney ($8/12,000); and an ABCG lamp in the Diamond and Star pattern, having a pattern cut skirted base, spiral cut stem cover, pattern cut font, pattern cut shade and pattern cut modern replacement chimney ($6/10,000).
An electrified, three-light table lamp marked Handel boasting a reverse painted ice chip shade with parrot and floral décor, marked “Handel #6874P” and designed in 1921 with the artist’s mark “P”, mounted on a base marked “Handel,” should reach $3/5,000. Also, a table lamp marked Pairpoint Puffy, 23½ inches tall with a closed top Roma shade and a green field has a tulip décor ($3/4,000).

An electrified single-bulb table lamp marked Pairpoint with a Puffy reverse painted shade, the glass “Rose Bouquet” shade showing green, pink and dark red roses and the base marked “Pairpoint #3060” is expected to rise to $2/4,000; while an unusual bronze figural desk lamp with a natural abalone conch shell shade, mounted on a full figure bronze dragon base, produced circa early 1900s by an unknown maker, should hit $1,5/3,000.
Rounding out this short list of just some of the auction’s expected top lots is a German mechanical biscuit warmer, .800 solid silver, with elaborate shell and embossed rose design ($2/3,000).
