BEVERLY, MASS. — Kaminski Auctions presents its October estates auction, Saturday and Sunday, October 19-20, starting at 11 am EST. The sale will present a diverse selection of collections and estates sourced from various locations, including San Diego and Montecito in California, Seattle in Washington, Palm Beach in Florida and several towns across Massachusetts, such as York, Gloucester, Marblehead, Hyannis Port, Peabody, Nahant and Essex. Among the standout offerings is a collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelains from the Dr Stephen Chen collection of Southborough, Mass.

Fine art highlights are particularly impressive in this auction featuring a watercolor on vellum attributed to Albrecht Dürer, which comes from the estate of Alfred Moir, the late art historian and collector. Notable large-scale portraits will also be on display, including a captivating work by the French artist Pierre Mignard, identified on the reverse as “Messire Adrien Norel,” painted circa 1665. This oil on canvas bears a stamp from the renowned French artist and restorer Abel Terral. Other significant pieces include a Seventeenth Century Dutch portrait of a bearded man and a striking oil on canvas depicting a woman on a balcony, measuring 69 by 51 inches. Additionally, a Nineteenth Century portrait of Edward Southworth, potentially created by the English artist Bagshawn, will be featured, alongside a marine painting by C. Dubreuil depicting a French ship in a storm, dated 1873, and an Eighteenth Century oil on canvas painting labeled “Kermesse Flamande XVIIe Siecle.” Further European works include an oil on canvas from 1876 displaying Dutch boats on shore by Lino Fils, as well as a view of Florence’s Piazza della Signoria by Consalvo Carelli (1818-1900).

American art in the auction includes a winter scene of Provincetown by John Whorf (1903-1959), painted in oil on canvas board with an inscription on the back to Robert C. Vose Galleries, alongside a rare portrait of P.T. Barnum rendered in oil on board.

Sculptural offerings are equally compelling, featuring a bronze head of the philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca from Herculaneum, as well as a late Nineteenth Century Japanese parcel-gilt bronze figure depicting Fujiwara no Yasumasa playing his flute by moonlight, which boasts provenance from Christie’s Fine Japanese Works of Art in New York.

The auction also includes a wide range of exquisite jewelry. Among the standout pieces is an 18K yellow gold and diamond ring featuring a heart-shaped center diamond of approximately 3 carats, accompanied by eight marquise diamonds from a Nahant, Mass., estate. Another highlight is a platinum and diamond ring showcasing a row of graduated round brilliant cut diamonds, totaling approximately 2.5 carats. From a San Diego, Calif., estate, a diverse collection of jewelry includes an 18K yellow gold flat link necklace weighing approximately 104 grams, a 14K suite of yellow gold, diamond and sapphire jewelry and a Tiffany heart and key bracelet, along with necklaces by renowned designers such as Alois Lander and David Yurman.

In terms of silver, the auction features a set of English sterling flatware with gold wash, hallmarked for London between 1842 and 1843 by Robert Garrard II, comprising 24 pieces, as well as a Stieff sterling flatware set. Additionally, a 1923 Saint Gaudens $20 gold coin framed in 14K yellow gold, weighing approximately 33 grams, will be offered from the San Diego collection.

The Dr Stephen Chen collection includes a remarkable assortment of Chinese porcelains and antiques, such as a Chinese apple-green-glazed jar with an ovoid body and interior white glaze, adorned with carved Kui dragons and bearing a Kangxi mark on the base. A Chinese peach bloom-glazed waterpot featuring the Qianlong Nianzhi seal mark and an Eighteenth Century Chinese purple Peking glass vase with the Qianlong mark will also be highlighted.

Japanese items of note include a large Nineteenth Century wood Shinto figure with carved gilt dragon decorations, as well as a pair of Japanese Kutani ovoid vases from the Meiji period, enameled and gilded with peafowl in a flowering garden, signed Menya Yaki and with provenance from Sotheby’s Japanese Paintings, Prints, and Works of Art.

Additional interesting items include a signed guitar from the Red-Hot Chili Peppers, an Epiphone Custom Shop Junior model autographed by band members and a Hilo ukulele signed by the Beach Boys, all sourced from a Hyannis Port, Mass., collection.

Furniture highlights in the auction feature an early Nineteenth Century mahogany campaign chest, a custom Georgian mahogany breakfront and a gilt Federal mirror with an eagle motif. The collection also includes more than 70 lots from southern Connecticut, showcasing a French Empire-style marble and bronze floor clock marked by Collin, Paris, along with other interesting Continental porcelains, bronzes, art and pottery.
