The top lot of the auction was this painting by Walter Henry Williams, “Children In a Field of Flowers,†circa 1959, that achieved $40,000.

Treadway/Toomey’s Twentieth Century sale on March 4, 2007, featured three sessions of more than 1,100 lots and was a record setter.

A world record was achieved with a Walter Henry Williams painting, “Children In A Field of Flowers” ($15/25,000), circa 1959, that fetched $40,000.

Chief among offerings was a collection of Native American objects and a group of Shaker items. The Native American selection was items from collectors in Chicago and Las Vegas, while the Shaker items came solely from a Detroit estate. In both cases the objects came from people introduced to the gallery from Arts and Crafts collecting backgrounds.

The first session consisted of Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, ceramics, metalwork, lighting and furniture, all continuing to sell at robust price levels.
