My goal is to publish new posts twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays. However, if you don’t see a new post on Thursday, it’s because I was too busy, so please look for a new one the following Monday.

EJ’s Auction & Consignment, Glendale, Arizona, held its Biltmore Estate Auction Ring 1 this past Saturday, April 30, 2016. Included in the sale was a wonderful Daum Nancy table lamp, lot #1100.

The lamp was special, mainly because it was painted by Daum’s best artist, B.S. (See my post dated July 6, 2015 for more on this artist.) At 19″ tall, with a 9½” diameter shade, it was one of the larger Daum Nancy table lamps.

I really wanted to buy this lamp, so I set up telephone bidding. The bidding opened at $11,000, picked up steam, and finally settled at $22,000, for a final price of $25,960, including buyer’s premium. I was left in the dust, and unfortunately not the buyer. $25,960 was a fair price for a retail client, but not a dealer. Kudos to the buyer of this exceptional lamp.
