DOUGLASS, KAN. — Woody Auction will close out 2021 with a December 4 antiques auction highlighted by the Wilson collection out of Illinois that features nearly 100 lots of Crown Milano, plus offerings from private collections that include brides baskets, Tiffany, Steuben, Quezal, Durand, Mettlach plaques and a sizable lamp collection, beginning at 9:30 am Central time.
Steuben is enormously popular with collectors, and this sale has some wonderful examples, like the unmarked art glass lamp in a Dragon pattern, 26½ inches tall, mirror black over celeste blue and acid etched, shape #6094; and a signed rose cintra and opal art glass vase, 12 inches tall in a Supino acid cut pattern.
A solid crystal and 18K gold sculpture signed Steuben, designed by James Houston and titled “Column of the Owl,” 7½ inches tall and made in the 1970s, is being offered with the original case. Another sculpture (not by Steuben) is an original bronze by Emile Pinedo (French-Italian, 1840-1916), titled “Arabe En Marche,” circa 1910, 13 inches tall, artist-signed with a foundry mark and patina.
A colorful item is the massive charger, marked Mettlach (#2697), 17½ inches in diameter, with a fantasy scene showing a cherub and a fairy, signed Heinrich Schlitt. Equally dazzling is an art glass covered jar marked “Crown Milano 572,” 11 inches tall, in blue and white tones with a colorful rose floral décor, heavy enamel scroll highlights and pattern matched lid.
Plaques will feature a framed porcelain plaque marked KPM, titled “Eremit” (Hermit), picturing a man kneeling in a courtyard in front of a book and crucifix, with a note indicating the work is artist signed by Ed Baedschneider
Another noteworthy plaque in the sale is an unmarked Wave Crest scroll mold plaque in pink, white and blue tones, with a rare scenic medallion featuring a man and a woman with a young girl playing the flute, plus a cherub, in a gilt frame measuring 16 by 12 inches, still with the original backing.
The jewelry category will be highlighted by a 14K yellow gold ring with three princess cut diamonds totaling 1.5 carats, H-I color, SI2-I1 clarity, with white gold prongs, size 5¼; and a 14K yellow gold bracelet boasting 13 oval cut sapphires, each surrounded by 12 round diamonds, separated by stars that each have seven round diamonds.
Also up for bid is a jardiniere and pedestal marked Weller Art Pottery of Aurelian twist form, having impressed marks on the bottom of both pieces, with dark brown tones and a rare strawberry décor; and a 97-piece sterling flatware set by Georg Jensen in the Acanthus pattern, housed in a wooden chest, the total weight of the sterling pieces 2,485 grams, the weight of the knives with stainless blades 865 grams.
