Neue Auctions' online-only Winter Fine Antiques & Art auction on Feb. 19 has over 300 curated lots

BEACHWOOD, Ohio - Jan. 25, 2022 - PRLog -- Neue Auctions' online-only Winter Fine Antiques & Art auction slated for Saturday, February 19^th, at 10 am Eastern time, features over 300 lots of fine antiques and art, carefully curated from local estates and collections, providing bidders with an exceptional auction experience and the chance to acquire some of the finest available pieces in the Midwest.

"Swedish, Finnish, German and Austrian, French, Asian and American furniture items such as chairs, chaise longues, sideboards and cabinets, occasional tables and chests are in abundance and estimated conservatively to sell," said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions. Online bidding will be via LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Bidsquare.com.

A bronze coffee table by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, titled Eternal Forest, is expected to inspire brisk bidding. As a father-son team, Philip (1907-1987) and Kelvin (b. 1937) LaVerne created stunning, functional art pieces (chief among them, coffee tables) in patinated bronze, pewter and silver. Their designs were made using a unique technique that took years to perfect, and their furniture was created in limited editions of twelve, making them highly collectible items today.

Furniture by Louis Majorelle (French, 1859-1926) will feature a dining table and chairs (estimate: $4,000-$7,000) and a fine mahogany and gilt bronze vitrine possibly by Majorelle (estimate of $4,000-$8,000). Majorelle was a decorator and furniture designer who manufactured his own designs in the French tradition of the ébéniste. He was an outstanding designer of furniture in the Art Nouveau style. The palette he composed resembled that of a painter.

Fans of Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) will be treated to an aquatint from the artist's Sable Mouvant (1964), published in 1966, of a painter and model (estimate: $2,000-$4,000). As of 2015, Picasso remained the top-ranked artist (based on sales of his works at auctions) according to the Art Market Trends report. More of his paintings have been stolen than any other artist.

Maxfield Parrish (American, 1870-1966) is also in the auction, with a lithograph titled Stars. Parrish was a painter and illustrator active in the first half of the 20th century, known for his distinctive saturated hues and idealized neo-classical imagery. His career spanned 50 years and was wildly successful. His painting Daybreak is the most popular art print of the 20th century.
