DOUGLASS, KAN. — An original 12-light Tiffany Studios Lily table lamp, late Nineteenth or early Twentieth Century French cameo art glass vases, signed Gallé and Daum, and a French cameo art glass boudoir lamp, signed Daum Nancy, are just a few of the items bidders will compete for in an antiques auction planned by Woody Auction on Saturday, August 24, starting at 9:30 am Central time. An online-only auction featuring similar items will be conducted on August 23, starting at 8 pm Central.

The August 24 auction will be conducted online via LiveAuctioneers, as well as live in the auction house’s gallery. In total, 368 lots will cross the auction block, all with no reserves. There is also no buyer’s premium for those in attendance (when paying with cash or check), and no sales tax will be collected from bidders present at the auction (or residing in Kansas).

The original bronze Lily Pad 12-light lamp, marked Tiffany Studios (#382), is the auction’s expected top-lot ($15/20,000). Jason Woody called it, “the finest original 12-light Lily Tiffany lamp we’ve ever sold.” All 12 gold favrile shades are marked “LCT,” and the 20-inch-tall lamp also boasts a fantastic patina and original switch hardware.

A French cameo Winter Season art glass vase, signed Daum Nancy, is exceptional in size at 21 inches tall ($8/12,000). A signed Gallé French cameo art glass Souffle vase, in the rare mold brown plum design, has frosted white and yellow ground with purple cameo cutback overlay ($8/12,000).

A French cameo art glass boudoir lamp, 19¼ inches tall, has a winter season cameo cut and enamel scene ($7/10,000). Also from Daum Nancy is a rare and complete, signed French cameo art glass Four Seasons salt cellar set with original 6-inch-square French jeweler’s box, labeled “Mon Guerre” ($5/7,500).

The furniture category will be led by a set of four parlor side chairs attributed to J.H. Horner. Made from carved mahogany with full-body winged cherubs with scroll, a shell and crest design and claw feet, their total weight is 110 pounds ($2/4,000). Additionally listed is a double comb Regina music box — playing 20½-inch discs (with 14 included), 14 by 30 inches and set on a 32½-inch-tall oak cabinet — estimated at $4/6,000.

Two very different lots have identical estimates of $5/8,000. The first is a circa 1890 Austrian silver and enamel carved horn, 13 by 7½ inches, with hand-painted cherubs and various mythological depictions; the classical scene includes Neptune holding a horn above his head and a figural finial of Saint George slaying a dragon. The second is a rare plated amberina pitcher by New England Glass, sitting at 7 inches tall.

Rounding out this short list of expected top lots is a scarce, signed Tiffany Studios Zodiac single-light turtle back lamp (#541), 14½ inches tall, electrified, with green panels and blue iridescence ($5/7,500); and a set of four plated amberina tumblers by New England Glass; each tumbler stands at 3¾ inches tall and is estimated, $3/6,000.
