We’ll be traveling to Chicago next week to exhibit at the Antiques + Modernism Winnetka show at the Winnetka Community Center, November 8-10. It’s one of two shows we have left in the greater Chicago area. The only other one is the Chicago Antiques, Art & Design Show at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago in May.

We’ve been buying like crazy for this show and the upcoming Original Miami Beach Antique Show. That includes some amazing Tiffany Studios glass and lamps that we bought domestically and Daum, Gallé and Walter glass that we bought in Europe. We’ll bring it all to our Winnetka show.

Last year’s show was excellent, even though many of our regular clients didn’t attend. New clients made up the shortfall. Couldn’t have asked for better. This year we’ve heard from our regular clients, most of whom told me they’re coming to the show. Got my fingers crossed. Tune in on Monday, November, 11th, for the results.

Our next show, The Palm Beach Show, is approximately one month away. It will be held at the Palm Beach Convention Center, February 13-18, 2020. We haven’t exhibited there in a few years, but decided to give it another try this year in a smaller booth.

I listed some of the new items on my website and will list more every week. Click Philip Chasen Antiques to take a look. I will make every effort to actively list new items as often as time permits. I always strive to offer the finest objects for sale on my website and at every show. There are many items for sale, sold items with prices and free lessons about glass and lamps. And remember to keep reading my blog.

Rago Auctions, Lambertville, NJ, held an Early 20th C. Design auction on September 21, 2019. The eclectic mix included American and European art pottery, glass and lamps.

The top lot of the sale, #280, was a Martin Brothers creature tobacco jar from 1888. It realized $27,500, including buyer’s premium — below the pre-sale estimate of $25,000 – $30,000.

Newcomb College high glaze vases are early and rarer than standard matte glaze vases. A large, stylized, floral example of calla lilies from 1904, lot #100, sold below its pre-sale estimate of $15,000 – $20,000, realizing $21,500, including buyer’s premium. It was the third highest price of the sale.

The highest price of any Tiffany Studios object in the sale was achieved by lot #333, a leaded Nautilus lamp. It sold within its pre-sale estimate of $6,000 – $9,000, realizing $10,000, including buyer’s premium.

I really wanted to buy lot #310, a wonderful, monumental (16¾” tall) Gallé Alpine scenic vase, but I never bid on it because of a condition problem. Notice that one side of the canoe-shaped mouth is visibly lower than the other. That’s because it was damaged and cut down at some point in its history. Even though the quality was superior, I let it go. It sold for only $5,625, including buyer’s premium, against a pre-sale estimate of $4,000 – $6,000. In my opinion it was worth $15,000+ in perfect condition.

Sorry, no new post this week. We’re still on a European buying trip. Back this week. I’ll have a new post next Monday.

We’re in Europe on a very successful buying trip as I write today’s post. But we’re on the go, so this post will let the photos do the talking. They’re only some of the items we bought. If you see something you like, please let me know.
