ATLANTA, GA. — A 1997 Steinway ebony Model M baby grand piano with Jansen bench, an Eighteenth Century Chippendale oval giltwood mirror and a collection of Chinese export armorial porcelain will headline an estates and collections auction scheduled for Thursday, November 14, by Ahlers & Ogletree, online and live in the Atlanta gallery, starting promptly at 10 am Eastern time.
The auction will showcase a collection of 388 lots, sourced from estates in the southern United States and featuring classical bronze sculptures, chandeliers, decorative and fine arts, furniture and more.
Highlights will include works by renowned artists such as Hughes Claude Pissarro and Maximilien Luce; furniture by Francesco Molon; Reed & Barton silver; and Italian and Persian textiles and rugs.
The 1997 Steinway ebony Model M baby grand piano shows the maker’s mark and the serial number to a metal plate, and is accompanied by a Jansen black diamond tufted artist bench with Steinway & Sons logos and J3 spade legs. It’s the auction’s expected top lot, with an estimate of $12/18,000.
The Eighteenth Century oval giltwood George II or George III Chinese Chippendale mirror after a design by Thomas Chippendale (English, 1718-1779) is impressive at 86 inches tall by 50 inches wide. It shows a figure beneath a pagoda hung with bells and flanked by ho-ho birds and should hit $10/15,000. It comes from a private collection in south Georgia where it was the prized possession of the collection’s owner.
A rare circa 1720 Chinese export armorial charger, one of several lots of hard-to-find Chinese export armorial chargers in the auction, most likely comes from a series of 23 ordered in the 1720s after the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht. A related charger is in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass.
The Kangxi era Dutch market export famille verte “Provinces” armorial charger has a diapered ground with a figural landscape, floral and birds and sea life reserves ($5/10,000).
An oil on paper laid to canvas by Maximilien Luce (French, 1858-1941), titled “Rolleboise Baigneuese” (Rolleboise Bathers), is signed and dated (1940) lower left and signed lower right. It’s framed and comes with an inscription from Jean Bouin Luce, confirming its authenticity ($4/8,000).
A pair of circa 1860 Napoleon III gilt bronze and gray-green porphyry four-light candelabra, each having scrolled acanthus form arms, drip pans and nozzles, on a tapering shaft, on a square plinth with classical plaque, and rising on scrolled feet, about 35 inches tall, should reach $4/8,000.
A monumental Shreve &. Co. sterling silver tray in the Louis XVI taste, having a reticulated shaped lip decorated with floral baskets, appropriately marked with pattern number 9878, 17½ inches in diameter and weighing 141.32 troy ounces, has an estimate of $4/5,000.
An untitled (Countryside Landscape View of a Church) pastel on paper painting by Hughes Claude Pissarro (French, b 1935), signed lower left, 10 by 14¼ inches (minus the fame), is expected to change hands for $3/5,000.
