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.

Sotheby’s Paris held their Design sale on November 22, 2016, with gross sales of $5,072,625. Included in the sale were two French glass lamps.

Lot #249 was a Daum Rain lamp estimated to sell for €20,000 – €30,000. It sold for the low estimate of €25,000 ($26,483), including buyer’s premium. I didn’t bid on the lamp because in my opinion the top rim of the shade had been ground down. Too bad, because the lamp had lovely color.

The second French glass lamp was pâte-de-verre by Argy-Rousseau, entitled Tragi-comique, circa 1922. It too sold for its low estimate of €50,000 ($52,966), including buyer’s premium.

I’ve been listing on my website many of the new items I’ve recently purchased and I’ll be listing more in the near future. Please check my site as often as you can.

No more shows in 2016. Our next show will probably be the NYC Big Flea, the weekend of January 21, at the Lexington Avenue Armory. If not, we’ll be in Miami for the Miami Antiques + Art + Design Show, February 3 – 5, 2017. This is the airport show, which will be new and improved, with many additional exhibitors. The changes are happening because the Miami Beach Antiques Show will no longer be in Miami Beach, instead moving to a new location in southwest Miami. It will all make for an interesting winter season.
