BEACON, N.Y. — Hudson Valley Auctioneers will celebrate New Year’s Day 2023 with an unreserved antique and estate auction with absentee, phone and online bidding through LiveAuctioneers on Sunday, January 1, at 1 pm. In-house previews are Saturday, December 31, from 1 to 5 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 12:30 pm, or by appointment.

Traditionally one of our best sales of the year, this particular auction offers 500 lots of traditional antiques, lots of silver and jewelry and “treasure and trash” from several estates, the sale begins with the last offering of paintings by Americo DiFranza followed by Asian items highlighted by another 12 Chinese archers’ rings from the dwindling collection Hudson Valley has been dispersing for several years. Other carved jades, porcelains, bronzes, a rare Japanese Meiji rain garment and some rosewood furniture follow.

Many of the early paintings came primarily from a former Pound Ridge, N.Y., dealer’s estate and a very interesting Brewster, N.Y., estate of a gentleman. That estate includes some excellent Eighteenth Century carvings and lighting and a Dutch Sixteenth Century oil on panel depicting John the Baptist. An early Dutch oil, probably Seventeenth Century of two ships in distress, walked into the gallery from a local home. Early furniture including an excellent Seventeenth or Eighteenth Century vargueno, an excellent burl maple Beidermeier dining set, lots of provincial French furniture, including a complete carved antique panetière, an Italian bone-inlaid ebonized table and a large selection of American and Continental “brown furniture” will feature throughout the day.
