Estate Collections, Fine Art, and Nautical Antiques to Auction at Kaminski
Beverly, MA (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- On August 10th Kaminski Auctions will host their second “Under the Tent” sale of the summer. The August Estate Auction will feature many exciting lots from a number of important estates, including furniture, decorative items, and several nautical pieces.
One of the most anticipated paintings of the sale is Paul Lauritz’s “Winter Landscape.” Signed “P. Lauritz” in the lower left, the scene depicts a small stream that cuts through the blanket of snow covering the surrounding forest. Originally from Norway, Lauritz eventually moved to Los Angeles, where he made his name as a landscape and portrait artist. The winter scene offered at Kaminski is estimated to sell for between $1,500 and $2,500.
Highlights of the nautical section of the auction include a Richard Barnett Spencer ship portrait, “Helen Campbell Inward Bound.” Richard Barnett Spencer, along with his brother William, was a successful commissioned British nautical painter of the first half of the nineteenth century. His work is expected to fetch between $1,500 and $3,000 in the upcoming auction.
A selection of Servés pieces are among the top lots of the upcoming sale. Particularly striking are two pairs of Sevrés vases. One features an ultramarine blue ground with gilt details and painted images of female figures among the clouds with cupid, and is estimated at $2,500 to $3,500. The second pair is estimated at $4,000 to $6,000 and carry the Sevrés mark. Other important decorative items include a 19th century pair of painted and gilded lamps, offered at $2,000 to $3,000, and a Tiffany desk set in the American Indian pattern, set to sell for between $2,000 to $3,000.
From the estate of former Yale professor Barnard (Ninon) Chaet comes a large collection of artifacts from around the world. Professor Chaet was a notable artist himself, and taught in the School of Art as the William Leffingwell Professor or Painting and Drawing, from 1979 to 1990. During his tenure at Yale and throughout his life, Professor Chaet collected fine works. Among the most intriguing are a group of Greek and Russian icons from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries, an Egyptian painted mask, and European antique wooden figures, all offered at mid range estimates between $300 and $700.
Furniture of various styles will feature prominently in the sale. The selection ranges widely, to include a Bombay desk from the nineteenth century with an estimate of $2,500 to $4,500, and a Sevrés table estimated at $3,500 to $5,000. An eighteenth century Italian cassone in carved walnut and decorated with an armorial shield will also cross the podium, with an estimate of $2,500 to $3,500.
