BLOOMFIELD, N.J. — Nye & Company Auctioneers will conduct a two-day sale on Wednesday and Thursday, June 14-15, featuring a selection of silver and jewelry, as well as a selection of fine art and prints, starting at 10 am Eastern time both days. The Chic and Antique Estate Treasures auction features around 800 lots and is online-only.

The sale is a mix of fine and decorative arts, spanning from the Sixteenth Century to present day. It features a variety of collectible categories. Real time internet bidding will be provided across several platforms, as well as the Nye & Co. website.

Of particular importance is a selection of Nineteenth Century period copies of recognizable Abraham Lincoln albumen photographs. These include copies of Mathew Brady photographs of Lincoln, descended in the family of the Nineteenth Century photographer Davis Garber (New York).

There are also images of General Ulysses S. Grant’s funeral; an image of Yosemite by Isaiah West Taber; and late Nineteenth Century images of Egypt attributed to Davis Garber. Another New York/New Jersey metropolitan area photographer named Walter M. Westervelt is also represented in the auction with his early Twentieth Century still life photography.

Continuing with art that hangs on the wall, there is a selection of Modern and contemporary works. Highlights include two Keith Haring chalk subway drawings featuring “Mother and Child” and “See no Evil” — representations of the graffiti art movement that would later lead to Haring’s rise as one of the most important Pop art artists in New York City.

There is also a self-portrait lithograph by Jim Dine, who became close with Claes Oldenburg and Marcus Ratliff and the Judson Gallery and Church in Greenwich Village; plus colored offset lithographs by Banksy: “Di-Faced Tenners” and “Rude Snowman.”

As for more traditional art, there is a Barbizon-style landscape with stream by the English/New York artist Ernest Parton (1845-1933). With provenance from the James Graham & Sons gallery, this work captures the natural beauty that Mother Earth has to offer. There is also a sporting picture by William E. Skilling (1862-1964) depicting gentlemen on horseback with their dogs in front of a village.

The sale also includes a work by the Indian artist Jamini Roy (1887-1972). Roy was honored by the Indian government in 1954 with the prestigious Padma Bhushan award. His artwork can be found in many private and public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The painting in the auction features an image of a woman in a pink sari.

The sale’s lineup of sterling silver includes a Tiffany & Company sterling Bamboo pattern flatware service.

For those who prefer their silver on the earlier side, there is a monumental Spanish Colonial silver bowl with two handles, decorated and hand-hammered. Not to be outdone is the southern European, possibly Sicilian, silver galleon ship model.

Crossing over between the silver and modern jewelry design is a small group of Vivianna Torun for Georg Jensen designed silver jewelry, plus rings, bracelets and choker with pendant drops. The sale’s selection of watches includes a Piaget 18K white gold watch, a Concord 14K man’s bracelet watch, a Cartier 18K gold tank and a scarce Le Coultre 18K gold man’s watch.

Modern and contemporary furniture will feature a pair of Mies van der Rohe for Knoll Barcelona chairs; a set of six Van Der Rohe chairs; and an Eero Saarinen for Knoll tulip table.

Nye & Company is now offering its fourth Edison electric pen out of a very limited number known to exist. The previous three have all sold for $10,000 or more. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. Similar pens can be seen in the Science Museum, London and the Smithsonian, a testimony to their rarity and importance.

Finally, there is a small collection of Chinese, English and Dutch ceramics, pulled from a private northern New Jersey collection. Highlights include a selection of English and Dutch delft/tin glazed earthenware chargers and plates, Blue Willow and Chinese Nankin porcelain teapots and Chinese clobbered export porcelain wares.

An online preview is being conducted now through June 14-15 For more information, www.nyeandcompany.com or 973-984-6900.
