Additional jewelry lots range from South Sea pearl earrings and necklaces, and even men’s jewelry like a 1950s Omega watch, rings and cufflinks.

Beyond jewelry, collectors will find several lots of silver and glass, including an 1890s sterling tea set by Spaulding & Co., a rare English sterling ink desk set hallmarked for ER & JB, London, and two signed L.C. Tiffany Favrile vases.

The fine art offerings feature a variety of works from renowned artists across different periods and styles. Highlights include an oil on board by Gertrude Abercrombie, “Large Black Cat with Full Moon and Ladder to the Moon” (1946), as well as a view of Venice by Felix François Georges Philibert Ziem, a French master from the Nineteenth Century. The auction also includes “Study of the Crimean Coast,” an atmospheric oil on paper by Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, a celebrated Russian/Ukrainian artist, signed with the initial “A.”

Italian art lovers will appreciate a pair of Seventeenth Century oil on canvas works by Alberto Carlieri, celebrated for their “capriccio” compositions, which compare to pieces housed in the National Museum, Sweden. These pieces have a fascinating provenance, being part of a noble Portuguese family estate, linked to the Portuguese royal family. Another standout is a large Seventeenth/Eighteenth Century Italian painting after Raphael’s “Triumph of Galatea.” There is also a captivating oil on canvas by Gustav Macoun depicting a view of Paris.

Modern and contemporary art is represented, with Toni Costa’s kinetic art piece “Dinamica Visuale” (circa 1980), and the American art segment features notable works like Louis M. Eilshemius’ serene “Moonlit Landscape” (1909) and Henry Singlewood Bisbing’s “Shepherds in the Field” (signed, Nineteenth Century), which offers a glimpse into rural American life. Additionally, a collection of 57 watercolors by Edwin Augustus Porcher provides a European tour through the 1870s.

The auction also includes a significant Nineteenth Century portrait of Edward Southworth, a prominent figure in the Massachusetts paper industry, possibly painted by the English artist Bagshaw. This historical portrait, along with a collection of European views by A.T. Bricher, adds even more depth to the selection of art on offer.

Furniture highlights in the auction include a midcentury modern console table by John Vesey, crafted from stainless steel and brass with beveled glass, as well as Allan McCulloch’s “Millennium Table” (1998), a unique mixed media and wood coffee table that makes a bold statement.

Other intriguing lots feature a collection of US stamps from the 1920s to the 1950s, along with a selection of silver dimes, including mercury and Roosevelt issues, and silver quarters, featuring Washington, Standing Liberty, and Canadian coins. For history enthusiasts, there is a rare collection of Alaskan memorabilia, including vintage maps, steamship company brochures, postcards and a photo album documenting a trip to Alaska in July 1905. This album contains original photographs and a diary of daily events, with 47 double-sided pages written by S. Shearer aboard the Dolphin, under Captain Shausnis. Additionally, the auction offers Tibetan ritual Kapala carved items, adding a unique Asian dimension to the sale.
