In January, Locati featured the Americana collection of Bill and Nancy Haase, of Zionsville, Pa., which comprised painted country furniture and accessories. The group comprised 112 lots and totaled $103,788 (including buyers premium) against an estimate of $42,160 to $63,040.Among the top lots was a robins egg blue-painted Pennsylvania dry sink, selling for $5,280. Despite a snowstorm, the collection drew spirited bidding from collectors in the room. Metals were at an all-time high this year, and both silver and gold performed well. Locati handled several large consignments of silver, including a collection of 83 lots of mostly American coin and sterling silver sold across several sales, that brought $80,031. The group included a coin silver beaker by Colonial silversmith Nicolas Roosevelt (1715-69) of New York City, selling for $2,625 in February. Roosevelt was of Dutch descent and one of 21 silversmiths working in NYC during the time period. For the last sale of the season, Locati featured a collection of 107 works of art, including a group of fine Japanese satsuma earthenware assembled in the first half of the 20th century. Offered with an aggregate low/high estimate of $49,800 to $78,900, the collection brought $197,131. The top lot was a large, finely decorated, covered vase by Yabu Meizan (1853-1934), realizing $57,500. Meizan was known for producing high-quality wares and won several awards at world expositions, including the 1889 Paris and the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. June also featured a Tiffany & Co. Sterling silver three-piece tea and coffee service with tray, ca. 1902-07, with a total approximate weight of 291.6 ozt, that went for $16,940 in the room against a $15,000 to $20,000 estimate.
