When the auction goes live, lots will be sold one at a time, in numerical order, by a live auctioneer who will be taking bids from multiple online bidding platforms, absentee and phone bids. During pre-bidding you are able to submit a max (maximum) bid. The bidding platform or our auction staff will bid on your behalf up to the maximum bid that you have entered. Once the auction goes live if you wish to increase your bid you will have to wait until that lot opens for bidding and enter any additional bids manually. This auction offers a rich tapestry of items that span the evolution of music players, the artistic depth of Bucks County impressionists, and seminal works of op art and pop art, alongside a dedicated section for mid-century modern furniture. From the historical allure of a Tiffany Studios Slag Oil Lamp, Swiss orchestral cylinder music boxes and the Wurlitzer 1015 "Bubbler" Jukebox to the vibrant landscapes by George Sotter, Walter Emerson Baum, William Lathrop, Robert Spencer, and Harry Leith-Ross, the auction encapsulates significant cultural and technological milestones. Key highlights include the artistic contrasts between Victor Vasarely's hypnotic op art and Andy Warhol's emblematic pop art pieces, providing a broad spectrum of artistic expressions. Additionally, the mid-century modern section, with its focus on the minimalist and functional "Kaminstolen" chairs by Fredrik Kayser and Adolf Relling for Dokka Mobler and a pair of Hans Wegner for Getama G-258 Daybeds, underscores the auction's diversity in catering to various tastes and interests. This collection not only offers an opportunity to acquire pieces from notable periods and movements in art and design but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic vision. Collectors and enthusiasts are invited to explore this eclectic mix of items that together tell a story of artistic and technological progression through the ages.
