PRESS RELEASE: Last month’s [Feb 1] American Antiques Auction sale featured more than 50 pieces of KPM as well as Serves portrait plaques from the Singer (sewing machine) Family Estate.
Bidding for these pieces was intense, with a KPM plaque showing Christopher Columbus in chains selling for $1,925, and a KPM portrait of an 18th century gentleman selling for $1,760. A Serves portrait plaque sold for $1,760, with an unsigned plaque showing a young girl surrounded by flowers and fauna sold for $4,675. All of the framed portraits were gold gilded. Other highlights from the February 1 sale of the Singer estate included a sterling cavier server that sold for $7,700; a Tiffany sterling tea service that sold for $3,300 and a sterling punch bowl that sold for $3,700. Flower form pins from the Singer estate attracted several bidders, with a 14K diamond flower pin selling for $300; a second, more elaborate 14K diamond flower pin sold for $525, with spirited bidding driving the price to $1,150 for an oversized enamel and marcasite cali-lily 800 silver pin. The family who consigned the Singer estate - which had been in their family for 56 years after their parents purchased the contents of the estate in 1944 - were gratified by the sale results. |

PRESS RELEASE: A wide-ranging collection of carved 19th and 20th century ivory built over the years by a New Jersey philanthropist on his frequent world travels highlights the April 5 Estate Treasurers sale by American Antiques Auction in Edison, New Jersey.
Ivory Buddhas, several variations of Quan Yin, the Goddess of Love and Mercy, monoblock icons, polychrome wise men and warriors, koro incense burner pagodas, emperor and empress pairs, flower baskets and five-foot bridge village scenes highlight the collection, which numbers in excess of 50 pieces. Characterized by exacting details and intricate workmanship, many of these pieces are executed on a grand scale, with the bridge pieces five feet long and the koro pagodas several feet high. A monoblock emperor and empress set is two feet high. Several tusks featuring the likeness of Quan Yin are over two feet long.
Every piece in the collection meets all legal requirements under United States law as they apply to endangered species, having been in this country since 1989. That is when 150 nations signed a treaty to severely curtail the international trade in elephant tusks and other ivory. The ivory pieces being sold conform to all applicable international and United States laws that regulate the sale and possession of ivory, according to auction consultant Robert E. Weisblut, co-founder of the International Ivory Society. |
