Douglass, KS, USA, April 7, 2023 — Items from the estate of Elfriede and Martin Miller of North Dakota and a private collection out of New Jersey, plus a fine assortment of other quality antiques – over 300 lots in all – will come up for bid in an Antique Auction slated for Saturday, April 22nd, beginning at 9:30 am Central time by Woody Auction, online and live in the Douglass auction hall at 130 East Third Street.
“An auction of so much hand-painted quality is a rare opportunity, but that’s exactly what is presented in this auction,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. “Limoges and Royal Bonn are two categories that are strongly featured in this auction, as well as other fine makers such as Muller Frères, Wave Crest, Lladro, La Verre Francois and Moser. As usual, all lots are being offered without reserves.”
The April 22nd auction will be preceded by an online-only auction on Friday, April 21st, beginning at 8 am Central time. The traditional in-person auction, with online bidding available, will be held the following day. “We guarantee that in both events no one will be disappointed,” Mr. Woody said, adding “there will be no buyer’s premium for those in attendance on April 22nd who pay with cash or check.”
One of the expected star lots of the April 22nd auction is an incredible floor vase marked Royal Bonn, 29 inches tall, featuring a beautiful outdoor scene of a young woman on a stone bench that wraps around the vase, which also boasts an Art Nouveau brass base and attached handles. The vase is signed “Stieber” and weighs over 29 pounds. There’s a U.S. Customs label on the base (est. $2,000-$3,500).
