ATLANTA - Oct. 7, 2019 - PRLog -- Great Gatsby's auction planned for the weekend of October 26^th and 27^th will be headlined by Part 2 of the Jack Belz Collection of Chinese works of art, and estate furnishings from Long Island, New York and Richmond, Virginia. The auction will be held online and in Great Gatsby's gallery at 5180 Peachtree Boulevard in Atlanta, beginning at 10:30 Eastern time both days.

Mr. Belz is chairman and CEO of Belz Enterprises, one of the largest real estate development firms in the South. He began gathering rare and unusual Chinese works of art over 50 years ago. Because of the vast size of his collection, Great Gatsby's will be offering it across a series of auctions that began with Part 1, held last month, and continuing through next year.

Part 2 of the Belz Collection features carved rosewood cabinets, oversize figural sculptures in jade and rose quartz, oversize cloisonné vases, embroidered robes, hanging scrolls and more. The star lot of Part 1 was a monumental pair of Chinese cloisonné vases on stands, with a staggering overall height of 99 ½ inches each. The vases finished at $22,140.

The Long Island and Richmond estate furnishings will include French Gothic Revival furniture (including chairs, fireplace mantels and cabinets), fine jewels, luxury timepieces and more. In all, more than 900 premier lots will come up for bid over the two days. Internet bidding will be facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Telephone and absentee bids will also be accepted.

Tops in the Chinese arts category are a monumental pair of carved jade Diamond Throne Temples having five pagoda towers, single level temples, censers and Fu lions, each one 99 ½ inches tall; and an equally monumental set of four porcelain plaques depicting auspicious flora and fauna, each panel 105 inches by 36 inches. Both lots are expected to bring $25,000-$35,000.
