DOUGLASS, KAN. — Woody Auction’s final antiques sale of 2022, on Saturday, December 3, promises to have something for everyone, with a catalog brimming with more than 400 lots in a wide array of categories. “The last in-person event of the year is as eclectic as any auction we’ve ever done and is a combination of numerous collections from around the world,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction.
Highlights include jewelry, art glass, Gone-with-the-Wind lamps, furniture, Limoges, Pickard, bronzes, plated Amberina, English cameo, clocks, Tiffany, Stevens & Williams, carousel horses, folk art and one of the largest artwork collections Woody Auction has sold in decades. As with past Woody auctions, all items will be offered to the public without reserves.
Offerings from the New England Glass Company include a rare plated Amberina art glass salt shaker with a silverplate top, patented in 1886, 6 inches tall; and a lady’s cuspidor (spittoon), also plated Amberina art glass and patented in 1886.
A rare green cut to clear decanter by Stevens & Williams, 10 inches tall, in the figural butterfly form is the first example of its type that Woody Auction has seen and been able to sell. Also sold will be a Louis C. Tiffany art glass vase, 4 inches tall, decorated in gold iridescence with millefiori heart and vine décor.
The most historically significant item in the sale is an eight-sided revolving hardware cabinet made from oak with 88 drawers and porcelain drawer pulls, all original, 39 inches tall by 26 inches wide. The painted decoration on top of the cabinet reads, “Custer/Tuebor” (Latin for “I Will Defend,” in the shape of a Maltese Cross, designed after a privately made Custer medal. General George Armstrong Custer designed the medal himself during his brigade’s winter encampment at Stevenson, Va., in 1863-64. The Horstmann Company was founded in 1815. It was taken over by William Horstmann’s sons in 1845 and became the largest supplier of military goods in the Civil War.
The original artwork category will feature two oil on canvas paintings signed by William McKendree Snyder (American, 1848-1930). One is a rendering of a winter scene depicting a pathway along a stream through trees to a cottage, mounted in a 27-by-49-inch frame. The other is an Indiana fall scene of a path among trees, mounted in a 27½-by-37½-inch gilt frame. The paintings, from the same estate, will be offered as individual lots.
Estate jewelry will be led by a 14K white gold and diamond ring with a 1.1-carat marquis center diamond having H color and VS-2 clarity. Numerous diamonds surround the center diamond. Also up for bid will be a 14K white and yellow gold and diamond ring having four round brilliant cut diamonds with a combined weight of 1.5 carats.
Another noteworthy lot is the 116-piece sterling silver flatware set by Wallace in the Grand Baroque pattern, including 12 dinner forks, 12 salad forks, 23 teaspoons, 12 place spoons, 12 ice beverage spoons, 12 dinner knives, 11 solid silver serving pieces and 17 assorted pieces with stainless blades and/or wood.
