This auction brings together an impressive blend of fine furniture, art, and decorative objects spanning traditional European styles, Asian craftsmanship, and mid-century design.

The centerpiece of the auction is a Philip & Kelvin LaVerne bronze coffee table, an exceptional example from one of the most distinctive and sought-after American design studios of the twentieth century. LaVerne pieces are celebrated for their sculptural presence, hand-finished surfaces, and the seamless fusion of functional furniture with bronze-worked artistry. This table is the unquestioned highlight of the collection and a rare opportunity for collectors of iconic modern design.

Another standout in the estate is a Chinese painting acquired from Gracie, the highly regarded New York gallery known for its impeccable Asian art and furnishings. Works purchased through Gracie are prized for their quality, authenticity, and decorative presence, making this painting a significant single offering within the sale and an excellent opportunity for collectors of fine Asian art.

Beyond these highlighted pieces, the estate offers an extensive mix of early and traditional furniture including Queen Anne style tables, Jacobean-inspired carved oak pieces, mahogany furniture, and numerous carved side tables. Decorative arts enthusiasts will appreciate the strong grouping of brass, bronze, gilt, and porcelain items that appear throughout the catalog, along with a notable selection of Asian decorative arts—including Chinese and Japanese works—ranging from vases and boxes to carved figures and wall pieces.

Lighting and functional décor also play a prominent role in this estate, with many lamps, paired lighting elements, and a variety of wicker pieces, floral-themed décor, and framed prints and paintings. The abundance of pairs—across tables, chairs, lamps, and decorative objects—reflects the collector’s eye for balance and symmetry in the home. Collectors of Victorian and early-20th-century furnishings will also find compelling offerings throughout the catalog.
