When it comes to the field of decorative arts, there are few names like Tiffany Studios that have a greater legacy. Collectors today are still drawn to the companys iconic leaded glass lamps and American style luxury wares it produced around the turn of the 20th century. At Fontaines Jan. 27 and 28 auction, more than 80 lots of Tiffany, from lamps and windows to silver, crossed the block. The auction, which totaled just over $2.5 million, also featured a choice grouping of paintings, sculpture, American furniture, jewelry and watches and more. Tiffany sold well all day long in the first session with many lots comfortably hitting their estimates and going above, said auctioneer/owner John Fontaine, noting that items by Tiffany Studios totaled over $1 million for the auction, including a ca. 1910 Tiffany Studios Peony table lamp, which attained $131,250 from a private collector on the West Coast, and an Arrowroot table lamp, ca. 1902, sold for $75,000. Floral-themed Tiffany lamps and shades proved of high interest to buyers with a rare Tulip table lamp, ca. 1905, going out at $87,500; a Daffodil table lamp earning $56,250; a Daffodil chandelier, $46,875; and an Apple Blossom table lamp, $27,500. Tiffany made many desirable patterns to suit all tastes, and this auction featured a nice sampling, including a Moorish five-light chandelier with pastel favrile shades at $30,000 and a Turtle-Back desk lamp that performed over estimate at $21,250. Also selling above its estimate was a set of two Gothic Revival leaded glass windows by Tiffany Studios that came off of St. Pauls Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, realizing $22,500. A fine but compact selection of paintings was led by a Birger Sandzn (American/Swedish, 1871-1954) oil-on-board titled Mountain Lake (Rocky Mountain National Park), earning $68,750. Though they seldom come to auction, Fontaines has done well with Sandzn paintings. A highlight in the jewelry and watches category was a ca. 1959 mans Rolex chronograph wristwatch, Reference #6234, which sold within estimate at $22,500. American furniture from the mid-to-late 1800s resonated with buyers here with a ca. 1850 J. & J.W. Meeks Henry Ford rosewood six-piece parlor set that took $30,000 and a rare and lavishly carved Aesthetic Movement burl walnut four-piece bedroom set, ca. 1880, totaled $27,500. Rounding out the auction were a number of lots that far exceeded their estimates, including a pair of Svres gilt bronze-mounted porcelain urns and covers that doubled its high estimate to bring $12,500, a pair of Patrick Mavros silver Elephant & Mopane Tree candelabra at $15,000 and an Aesthetic Movement rosewood pedestal, attributed to Herter Brothers, ca. 1880, which also sold for $15,000.
