Andrew Jones's online-only signature Design for the Home and Garden auction will be held March 27th

LOS ANGELES - March 3, 2022 - PRLog -- Andrew Jones Auctions will offer a strong selection of fine art, along with antiques and design from antiquity through the 21^st century, in an online-only signature Design for the Home and Garden auction scheduled for Sunday, March 27^th, at 10 am Pacific time. Nearly 300 lots will be offered to the highest bidder.

Significant and varied private collections and estates will provide a rich selection for discerning buyers. A private Hancock Park collection features an extraordinary suite of seven epic allegorical paintings by the acclaimed French trained American muralist Edwin Howland Blashfield (N.Y., 1848-1946) including Hospitality, circa 1915, expected to hit $8,000-$12,000.

Blashfield's career took off with his work in the dome of the Manufacturer's and Liberal Arts building at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which elicited commissions from the likes of W. K. Vanderbilt and G. W. C. Drexel for their personal residences. Blashfield is best known for painting the murals on the dome of the Library of Congress Main Reading Room in Washington, D.C.

The Hancock Park collection embodies an Old-World baronial aesthetic with Renaissance and Baroque furniture and objects highlighted by a remarkable Spanish Renaissance oak table casket, late 15^th/16^th century (est. $1,500-$2,000), antique carpets, and fine silver led by an Irish George III sterling silver two-handled covered cup by James Scott, Dublin, 1809 (est. $2,000-$3,000).

The collection also includes a Gothic altar tryptich depicting St. Andrew, St. Agnes & St. Joseph (est. $10,000-20,000) and engravings after Simone Cantarini and Albrecht Dürer, including the woodcut The Holy Trinity (The Throne of Grace), circa 1511 (est. $8,000-$12,000), as well as Rembrandt and Martin Schongauer. Wonderful decorative arts will also cross the auction block.

Additional highlights from the other end of the artistic spectrum include a dramatic marine scene titled Shipping off Gibraltar, attributed to Thomas Buttersworth (est. $3,000-$5,000) and Henri Manguin's Petite dormeuse en chemise blanche, dated 1918 (est. $15,000-$25,000), from the collection of the late actor and avid art collector and aficionado Peter Falk, of Columbo fame.
