  • Christie's Leads Americana Week in New York with a Series of Significant Collections
    For Immediate Release December 21, 2007 Contact: Sara Fox [email protected] 212.636.2680 CHRISTIE’S LEADS AMERICANA WEEK IN NEW YORK WITH A SERIES OF SIGNIFICANT COLLECTIONS Important American Silver ~ January 17 Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Prints and Decoys ~ January 17 - 18 Property from the Collection of George and Lesley Schoedinger ~ January 18 The Collection of Marguerite and Arthur Riordan, Stonington Connecticut ~ January 18 New York – Christie’s is honored to present several significant collections during Americana week on January 17-18 in New York with The Collection of Marguerite and Arthur Riordan, Stonington Connecticut, Property from the Collection of George and Lesley Schoedinger, Property of the Estate of Charles H. Carpenter, Jr., and Property from the Hirsch and Ethel D. Jacobs. Leading the Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Prints and Decoys sale is the Stevenson family scalloped-top tea table (estimate: $1,500,000- 2,500,000). This season of American Furniture and Decorative Arts will delight collectors with a range of rare objects — from waterfowl decoys to a collection of thoroughbred racing trophies. Following the recent record breaking sale in October 2007 of the “Garvan” carved pie-crust tea table, the focal point of the various owner sale is the Stevenson family Chippendale mahogany scalloped-top tea table (estimate: $1,500,000-2,500,000). Conceived and executed as a masterpiece, this tea table survives in a remarkable state of preservation. Its old, largely undisturbed surface reveals a magnificent mahogany grain and the full depth of its exuberant carving. The table’s elaborately carved details – described at that time as a ‘scalloped top’, ‘carved pillar’, ‘fluting for the pillar’, ‘leaves on knees’ and ‘claw feet’ – were among the attributes listed in Philadelphia’s 1772 cabinetmaker’s price book that made this design the most expensive option listed.

    100 101 A GOLD PIN BROOCH, BY LALAOUNIS A GOLD TORQUE NECKLACE, BY LALAOUNIS In the classical Greek tradition of a stylised torc with lion’s head Of brushed gold finish, hinged to the back, with axe-shaped terminal and closed pin clasp, mounted in 18K gold, signed Lalaounis, terminals, mounted in 18K gold, with maker’s mark, retailed and marked maker’s mark, French import mark, length 8.7cm ‘Mecan’, inner diameter 11.4cm € 1,200 - 1,800 € 1,600 - 2,600 Greek jeweller Ilias Lalalounis was born in Athens in 1920, the fourth generation of a family of goldsmiths and watchmakers from Delphi. After studying economics and law at the University of Athens, he joined his uncle’s jewellery firm, where, apprenticed as a goldsmith, he learned the skills that were to determine his future as a master craftsman. Prompted by a passion for history, he began studying the art of his ancestors. In the 1950’s he was inspired by Greek museum arte- facts and transformed them into jewellery by reviving age-old techniques while also introducing the use of modern technology. His creative aim was to convey the spiritual and symbolic link of an object to its historical past, the art of neglected techniques, such as granulation, filigree, hand-weaving and hand-hammering. Lalaounis founded the Greek Jeweller’s Association and exhibited his first collection in 1957, the archeological collection, inspired by Classical, Hellenistic and Minoan-Mycenaean art, with modern jewels steeped in antiquity. In the 1960’s, after his uncle passed away, Ilias Lalaounis started his own company.

  • THE PTARMIGAN VASE: a MONUMENTAL COPPER, SILVER and GOLD MOKUME VASE, CIRCA 1900-05 to Be Sold at Sotheby's New York, 21Jan 2011
    THE PTARMIGAN VASE: A MONUMENTAL COPPER, SILVER AND GOLD MOKUME VASE, CIRCA 1900-05 to be sold at Sotheby's New York, 21Jan 2011 CONTENTS submitted 14 January 2011: (1) Summary justification for bidding $USD 660,000 ($550 hammer price plus 20% dealer’s commission) at auction; (2) Sotheby’s sales catalogue entry with added illustrations; (3) Research Notes by Graham Larkin, Curator of International Art, National Gallery of Canada. Summary justification In the art world is not uncommon to see sales pitches describing a work as unique or even masterful. It is, however, very uncommon for such descriptions to be true. The Ptarmigan Vase is truly unique, and truly a masterpiece. During the ‘gilded age’ of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the finest craftsmen in the world were lured to New York by design firms who could easily outbid the competition. At the top of these firms stood Tiffany & Co., which established its reputation as a world leader through the display of over-the-top objets de luxe at grand exhibitions. Paulding Farnham, head jewelry designer at Tiffany’s, won gold medals at the Paris Exposition of 1889, the Chicago World's Colombian Exposition of 1893, the Paris Exposition of 1900, and the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition of 1901. Despite all these successes—or perhaps because of them—Farnham was ultimately squeezed out by the firm’s largest shareholder, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who named himself head jeweller in 1907. In June 1908 Farnham left to devote all of his energies to mining ventures in the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia.
