A collection of important jewelry from a Scarsdale, N.Y., estate led by an impressive festoon necklace; an unusual folk art polychrome carved box discovered in a Chappaqua, N.Y., home; and two paintings by the American abstract artist Robert Moskowitz will headline an online-only Spring Estates Auction slated for Wednesday, May 8, by ACES Gallery in Stamford, Conn. The catalog is loaded with more than 170 lots of fine art, jewelry, Chinese and Asian art, antique and Mid-Century furniture, dolls and collectibles, art glass, ceramics, rugs and more, beginning at 11 a.m. Eastern time. There is no live in-gallery bidding, but internet bidding will be facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Absentee and telephone bids will also be accepted. Were excited to bring a curated sampling of materials from our clients to the May auction said Alex Fonarow, appraiser and auctioneer of ACES Gallery, which conducts about 50 locally-featured, timed online auctions each year for area estates on its website (aces.net). Our gallery auctions are designed to present the best materials we uncover while working on ACES more broadly focused projects, he added, effectively trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. More than two dozen estates are represented in the current auction. With a pre-sale estimate of $12,000-$18,000, the antique diamond festoon necklace is a candidate for top lot of the auction. Its designed as a continuous line of baguette channel-set diamonds and prong-set full-cut diamonds suspending nine graduated pear brilliant cut diamonds (21.17 cttw). Two colorful paintings by Robert Moskowitz (American, 1935-2024), both untitled, oil on canvas, signed lower left, hold pre-sale estimates of $1,000-$2,000. Moskowitz worked at the intersection of Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism and Pop Art. The unusual folk art polychrome carved box found in a Chappaqua, N.Y., home is from the late 19th or early 20th century. Its heavily carved with Incan devices and faces in relief, painted in green over yellow with silver highlights. A bronze sculpture on a conforming plinth, signed L. Gregoire, for Jean-Louis Gregoire (French, 1840-90), titled Flute Players, is 24 inches tall by 19 inches wide. Gregoire was known for allegorical figure sculpture and mythology. A gouache and mixed media on paper by the American-Russian artist Constantin Westchiloff (1877-1945), depicting Bear Mountain near New Yorks Hudson River, has an estimate of $700-$900. The artist is best-known for his seascapes (particularly of the New England coastline). A Chinese spinach jade covered cup (or bowl) with a conforming lid, from the estate of Vincent Fulgenzi, the artist, playwright and former proprietor of The Red Carpet Antiques in Chappaqua, N.Y., is 3.75 inches in diameter. Previews will be held by appointment only on Monday and Tuesday, May 6 and 7, from 10 a.m. 5 p.m. at ACES Gallery and offices, located at 85 Old Long Ridge Road (#A7) in Stamford, Conn.
