Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles November 2016 Newsletter Available
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) November 04, 2016 -- Pressed felt Lenci dolls made years ago in Italy and auctioned in Maryland are featured in a sale report in Kovels on Antiques and Collectibles November 2016 newsletter. Known for their distinctive painted faces with pouty lips and side-glancing eyes, the dolls included character boys and girls with detailed costumes. They sold from $450 to almost $2,000. Savvy shoppers looking for classic Chanel style bid at a Chicago auction where vintage and contemporary Chanel suits and jackets ranged from $200 to $900. Kovels’ November issue pictures a selection with descriptions and prices. The Gorham Manufacturing Co. set the standard for quality American sterling and a Boston auction proved that buyers still appreciate the look and feel of heirloom silver. A Martelé tray took top honors at over $8,500, but bidders also took home beautiful silver for a lot less. See the top lot tray and other Gorham tableware with prices in Kovels’ latest issue.
Shaker-made sewing items with typically simple design and solid craftsmanship sold in Massachusetts. An 1840s pine sewing cabinet with extended two-board top sold for $12,000, while a practical maple and cloth pincushion brought $540. More Shaker pieces are pictured with prices in Kovels’ November newsletter. And colorful cupboards, dry sinks and other wooden storage accessories from the 19th and early 20th centuries sold in Ohio to a standing-room-only crowd where prices reflected the red-hot market for painted country furniture. Examples in Kovels’ November issue.
