Bloomfield, NJ, USA, July 27, 2023 — Nye & Company Auctioneers’ two-day, online-only Chic and Antique Estate Treasures auction slated for Wednesday and Thursday, July 26th and 27th, will feature an extensive selection of fine art and decorative arts, starting each day at 10 am Eastern time. Approximately 700 quality lots will cross the auction block over the course of the two days.
Day 1, July 26th, will be a single-owner session, with fine items from a private New Jersey family that has been avidly collecting for decades. After furnishing several tri-state area homes, the family is offering items they’ve decided they can now live without.
Of note is lot 4, a maquette for Moses Transcendent by Leon Underwood. The abstract figural work has impeccable provenance. Another work is lot 214, a large colorless crystal figural rooster designed by Marc Lalique circa 1953. Lot 211 is by R. Lalique: an opalescent molded Tulipes vase.
The family included numerous examples of lighting in the auction, which include chandeliers, sconces and lamps. There is also a wide variety of traditional furniture, antique porcelain, whimsical bookends, empty frames and more, such as lot 47, a Suzanne Kasler designed brass-mounted Monaco chest for Hickory Chair.
A wonderful oil on canvas of a dancer, lot 12, by Wu Jian, titled Pure Ages, depicts a ballerina highlighted against a dark background. The dramatic composition is extremely eye-catching by a sought-after contemporary Chinese artist. Arts and Crafts pottery, Asian ceramics and fine art round out the group from the well-heeled New Jersey family.
