LOS ANGELES - May 15, 2023 - PRLog -- Andrew Jones Auctions will greet the summer season in a big way with two sales dedicated to important decorative arts.  The Sunday, June 18^th auction features the collection of Stuart and Phyllis Moldaw of Atherton, California, curated by Anthony Hail.

Live previews will also be held in-gallery prior to auction. Start times both days will be 10 am Pacific time. Online bidding will be via AndrewJonesAuctions.com, Invaluable.com and LiveAuctioneers.com. Absentee bids accepted.

Stuart and Phyllis Moldaw both had refined eyes for beauty.  They began working with Anthony (Tony) Hail, arbiter of style and esteemed San Francisco decorator.  Phyllis and Tony developed an aesthetic partnership that transformed the Moldaws' Goody Steinberg-designed house into their dream home.  Eager to learn the history of each acquisition Tony assisted her with, Phyllis found herself especially drawn to fine porcelain and silver.

Led by historic Chinese ceramics and export porcelain, the Moldaws' collection on June 18^th is broad-ranging, from a carved celadon longquan charger (est. $2,000-$3,000) and peach bloom water pot (est. $1,500-$2,000) to blanc de chine censers, polychrome lotus form vessels to export famille rose tureens, platters and serving ware, large scale figural candlesticks, armorial place settings and Rockefeller pattern tableware.

Phyllis Moldaw also cultivated an appreciation for European porcelain, including Herend, notably the Rothschild bird and Fortuna patterns, as well as Meissen and Sevres, and amassed an extensive service of Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica dinnerware that's been divided into 25 lots (with estimates ranging from $400-$7,000), plus whimsical table decorations by Ann Gordon.
