Press Release
Brooklyn, NY, USA, February 12, 2025 — Fresh on the heels of a highly successful, 314-lot Winter Watch of Wanted Collectibles auction held in late January, SJ Auctioneers will build on that success with a Fabulous Collectibles, Décor, Silverware & Jewels auction on Sunday, March 1st, starting at 6pm Eastern Time. The online-only auction, with over 300 lots, is live now, on LiveAuctioneers.com.
Fine silver – whether it’s in the form of spectacular individual pieces or flatware services by famous makers – is a hallmark of SJ Auctioneers and a primary reason for its recent success. Both will be in strong evidence in the March 1st sale, as eager bidders are expected to vie for items in the silver categories, as the value of silver continues to climb in today’s hot market.
Two items expected to draw great attention include a stunning Buccellati sterling silver and marble fish stand platter bowl made in Italy in 1950, 47cm long by 52cm wide, expected to bring $25,000-$28,000; and a Tomas Bradbury sterling silver epergne centerpiece bowl from 1897, 47cm long by 52cm wide, weighing 3450 grams, which has an estimate of $18,000-$20,000.
Kirk sterling silver repousse landscape water pitchers in fine condition will be sold as single lots. One is 10 inches tall and weighs 22.7 troy oz. The other is 8 ¾ inches tall and weighs 28 troy oz. Each has an estimate of $5,000-$5,500. Also, a Charles Clement Pilling (London) sterling silver armada decanter jug from 1903, 33cm tall, weighing 1000 grams, should fetch $4,000-$4,400.
Tiffany & Co. will dominate the list of expected top lots in the sterling silver flatware category. Topping the list is a 103-piece dinner and luncheon set in the Audubon pattern, without a single piece missing and housed in a three-tier used Reed and Barton silverware chest. The set, weighing about 209 troy oz., is estimated at $22,000-$24,000. An immaculate, 102-piece Tiffany & Co. dinner size flatware service set in the English King pattern, also complete with no pieces missing and contained in a used three-tier silverware chest by Reed and Barton, weighing 147 troy oz,, should finish at $17,000-$19,000. Neither set has a monogram.
