DALLAS — Beloved landmarks are often distinguished by recognizable signature flourishes, and throughout the Twentieth Century, exclusive dining establishments tucked within famous department stores were no exception. The Men’s Grill, which opened in Chicago in 1914 in the original Marshall Field & Company, boasted a grand fountain and dome produced by Tiffany Studios, as well as 64 mosaic panels depicting the signs of the zodiac set into mahogany-paneled columns punctuating the stately dining room. On September 28, six of these bespoke panels will appear in Heritage Auction’s Pursuit of Beauty: Art Nouveau, Art Deco & Art Glass Signature® auction.

At the turn of the Twentieth Century, glass studios in the United States and Europe introduced remarkable innovations to the medium. French highlights include an R. Lalique “Serpent” vase in highly sought-after amber glass. Lalique’s masterful play with surface and texture is also seen in a rare cased red glass “Perruches” vase from 1919, with gorgeous blossom detail supporting a flock of paired-off parakeets. Select glass works by French glassworks Daum and Gallé join Lalique in this auction.

In addition to glass, the auction boasts early Twentieth Century works in several other media, including a sculpture by Weiener Werkstatte designer Vally Wieselthier.

This auction also includes Art Nouveau and Art Deco bronze sculpture. One highlight is Claire Jeanne Roberte Colinet’s “Danseuse de Carthage.” The gilt and cold-painted bronze and marble depiction of a dancing figure playfully entwined with a snake appears in the larger of the two sizes produced and is signed “CL. J.R. Colinet.”

Also offered is a delightful and distinctive Grueby fireplace surround, coming to Heritage from the collection of the Birks Museum at Millikin University in Illinois. The surround includes a five-tile Oxen frieze, featuring a farmer accompanying an oxen-drawn wagon, executed in the rich greens, earthy yellows and warm browns Grueby is known for, and 36 matte green glazed tiles.

Lot viewing is available by appointment only at 2801 West Airport Freeway on September 26 and 27. For additional information, www.ha.com or 214-528-3500.
