Cranston, RI, USA, February 24, 2023 — An early 20th century Duffner & Kimberly heraldic armorial table lamp and an 18th century Continental carved wood tavern wall panel are two of the expected highlights in a two-session Couture, Jewelry and Fine & Decorative Art auction slated for Monday, February 27th, by Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers, online and live in the Cranston gallery at 63 Fourth Ave.
Session 1, starting promptly at 5 pm Eastern time, will be Part 4 of a single-owner couture and jewelry collection, featuring Chanel, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana handbags and shoes, David Yurman jewelry and additional pieces of fine jewelry. Session 2, beginning at about 7 pm, will include fine and decorative art pulled from estates and collections across the New England area.
“We are still working on the estate of couture and fine jewelry out of Cranston,” said Kevin Bruneau, the president of Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers and an auctioneer. “This has been a wonderful experience dealing with clients and getting to know what their couture tastes are like.”
The Duffner & Kimberly (N.Y.) table lamp, 39 ½ inches tall, boasts an exhibition-quality 28 ½ inch diameter stained glass lampshade decorated with raised fruit and acanthus leaves framing armorial cartouches and colorful lion heads over a six-light lamp with heart shaped heat cap, original pulls and curled feet. The lamp should bring $6,000-$9,000.
The 18th century Continental carved wood tavern wall panel depicts a group of men with exaggerated expressions, drinking, cheering, and emptying their stomachs in a lively tavern scene. The unmarked wood wall panel measures 25 1/2 inches by 42 inches and is from the collection of a Boston estate. It also has a pre-sale estimate of $6,000-$9,000.
