The auction house’s description
We are pleased to present the second offering from the extraordinary lifetime collection of a respected dealer and collector whose passion for history, art, and collecting spanned more than sixty years. A dear friend and mentor, he assembled thousands of objects over a lifetime, ranging from ancient artifacts and ethnographic works to Asian art, decorative arts, fine art, and historical treasures from around the world. His passion for discovering exceptional objects never faded, and he continued acquiring new finds until his passing. Many of the pieces presented in this sale have remained carefully preserved and out of public view for decades, while others were among his later acquisitions. This auction is devoted entirely to his collection and continues the ongoing presentation of the remarkable body of material he assembled over more than six decades. Each sale brings forward another group of discoveries, reflecting the extraordinary breadth of his interests and a lifetime spent searching for objects of history, beauty, rarity, and significance. Please check the catalog regularly. New lots will continue to be added as we work through and catalog the collection, generally until approximately two weeks before the auction. As always, our catalog descriptions reflect our research and opinions. Bidders are encouraged to examine each lot carefully, review all photographs, and form their own conclusions regarding attribution, age, origin, and condition. Thank you for participating in our second sale. Please save A Cut Above Auction to your favorites and follow our future auctions, as much more from this extraordinary lifetime collection remains to be discovered and offered.
