Our Fine Art Auction is taking place during a 2-day event being held Wednesday, March 13th and Thursday, March 14th at 10:00 AM. Day 2 offers a remarkable selection of fine and decorative arts and mid-century modern. The upcoming auction presents a meticulously curated selection of items that bridges historical craftsmanship with modern design and artistic innovation. Among the highlights are remarkable music players that chart the evolution of musical entertainment from intricate Swiss orchestral cylinder music boxes to the iconic Wurlitzer 1015 "Bubbler" Jukebox. Also highlighted is a Tiffany Studios Slag Oil Lamp. These pieces not only embody the technological advancements of their times but also the exquisite craftsmanship through their ornate rosewood and mahogany cases, marquetry, and precision-engineered components. The fine art collection is a standout feature, showcasing works by the Bucks County impressionists—a group renowned for their idyllic landscapes and vibrant depictions of rural Pennsylvania life. This auction includes masterpieces by George Sotter, Walter Emerson Baum, Robert Spencer, and Harry Leith-Ross, offering bidders a rare opportunity to own a piece of American art history. Their works, known for their luminous treatment of light and color, capture the essence of the Bucks County region and have been celebrated for their contribution to American Impressionism. Furthermore, the auction highlights the dynamic and contrasting movements of op art and pop art through the works of Victor Vasarely and Andy Warhol. Vasarely's geometric patterns and optical illusions provide a mesmerizing visual experience, while Warhol's iconic representations of popular culture reflect a different facet of artistic expression. These pieces represent pivotal moments in art history, offering collectors the chance to integrate these diverse styles into their collections. A special section dedicated to mid-century modern design features furniture and art that epitomizes the era's aesthetic and functional elegance. Notably, the auction includes the Fredrik Kayser and Adolf Relling for Dokka Mobler "Kaminstolen" chairs, which are exemplary of Norwegian design excellence. Their sleek lines and ergonomic design not only highlight the innovative use of materials but also the timeless appeal of mid-century modern furniture. Also featured are a pair of Hans Wegner for Getama G-258 Daybeds.
