The auction house’s description

This months auction features items from various Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland and New York estates and includes a nice selection of ancient and pre-Columbian artifacts, 15th-19thC turned brass candlesticks, our usual eclectic group of antique and modern art, including many prints and paintings, sculptures and more. Antique silver includes a fine pre-revolution Russian tankard with faux wood engraving. Among the Native American objects is a fine San Ildefonso Marie black on black pot, plus an excellent and exceedingly rare Apache olla basket in amazing original condition. Standout art includes an original Gustave Baumann woodblock print, a Howard Cook print, a William Penhallow Henderson original pastel, an original William Thomas Blackburn painting, and a pencil signed Kathe Kollwitz etching. We offer valuable books, antique bronzes, militaria, and unusual middle-eastern brass and wood objects. Another highlight is a single collector's accumulation of antique wax letter seals and Buddhist items. In addition, we offer a selection of MCM furniture, including Eames and George Nelson Herman Miller pieces. Interesting antique lighting, furniture, porcelain and other surprise pieces are being added up to the minute, so check back often.
