My show schedule used to be packed with over twenty shows a year. That’s now been whittled down to three or four a year. Not only that, but the limited schedule seems to be in a state of constant flux. The Baltimore Summer Antiques Show is now a late October show. The Chicago Antiques + Art + Design Show, which was held for many years in the Merchandise Mart, was canceled, revived and then moved to a new, unproven venue in a Chicago neighborhood I never heard of. The dates were scheduled for October 6-9, 2022. I decided to exhibit there because I have lots of great clients in the Chicago area whom I haven’t seen for several years because of Covid.

Last week I received notice from The Antiques Council that the Antiques + Modernism Show is returning to Winnetka, IL, after an absence of three years. The new dates are November 4-6, 2022. That forced me to make a decision; either exhibit at two shows in the Chicago area one month apart or choose between the two shows. Since I don’t have enough clients in Chicago to exhibit there twice in one month, it made the decision easy. I decided one show was enough and that would be a proven show in Winnetka. I’m looking forward to it. I really like Chicago and the people there, so it will be a pleasure to get reacquainted.

Cottone Auctions held a Fine Art & Antiques sale on March 19, 2022. Included in the sale were 17 Tiffany Studios leaded and Favrile glass lamps. Following is a review of the top three results of these lamps.

The top lot of the group was an 18″ diameter Peony table lamp with beautiful red, pink and magenta flowers. It sold for $126,000, including buyer’s premium, against an estimate of $60,000 – $80,000.

The next lot, #127, was a 20″ diameter red Poppy table lamp. Intense red flowers are very desirable, so it was no surprise that it achieved the second best result with a sale price of $93,600, including buyer’s premium, against an estimate of $50,000 – $80,000. It would have sold for more if it had had a more important base.

The third best result went to a 20″ diameter Arrowroot table lamp. It sold for $78,000, including buyer’s premium. I don’t know the estimate because it must have been a late addition to the sale that wasn’t published in their brochure. The price was strong because the colors were exceptional; very few examples have blue in the background.

Business continues to be good with the most interest in the usual suspects; Tiffany lamps and French glass. Following are three recent sales.

It’s been really tough buying good Tiffany Studios lamps. I can sell many more lamps than I can buy. So I consider myself lucky to have bought a superb 18″ diameter Turtleback table lamp with amazing color and mottling. The patina on the Mock Turtleback base is fantastic. The kicker is that the lamp was the personal property of Marcello Mastroianni. How cool is that? A great lamp with incredible provenance.

When I bought the Turtleback swivel desk pictured above, it was covered with over 100 years of grime. After two hours of careful cleaning, the results were great; the iridescence sparkled and the patina was outstanding.

Can you believe the quality of the Daum Nancy vase pictured above? It’s totally wheel-carved, decorated all the way around and gorgeous. I don’t get vases of this quality as often as I would like.

If you’ve got something good to sell, please offer it to me. I need quality items now, so I’m buying aggressively.

Christie’s New York held an online only Modern Collector: Design and Tiffany Studios sale, February 25 – March 11, 2022, with total sales of $2,000,628. Included in the sale were additional items from the collection of Dr. Thomas Chua. On March 4, 2022, Doyle New York sold part of the collection (see my blog post of March 7, 2022 for a review of that sale.)

The top lot of the collection was #81, a 20″ tall Daum Nancy Dragonfly table lamp. While the workmanship was superb and the decoration very rare, the shade was too small for the base. It was original from Daum, but quite clunky, so I didn’t have much interest in the lamp. But others did. Estimated to sell for $20,000 – $30,000, it realized $50,400, including buyer’s premium.

Christie’s sold two monumental Gallé Wisteria vases, lots #103 and #104, very similar in shape and size (24½” tall). Both were estimated to sell for $6,000 – $8,000, but the blue example sold for $47,880, including buyer’s premium, $10,080 more than the red example; both impressive results.

I really wanted to buy lot #87, a gorgeous Daum Nancy Ombelles vase. It was the total package; totally wheel-carved, great shape, beautiful color, and applied handles. Unfortunately for me it sold for more than I was willing to pay; $22,680, including buyer’s premium, against an estimate of $5,000 – $7,000. I bid strongly, but it wasn’t enough.
