Event Details
Alderfer Auction presents an online Fine and Decorative Arts auction presenting a diverse collection of jewelry, silver (primarily silver services), historical, furniture to include mid-century and period, Persian rugs, fine art, and Asian antiques.
Auction is open for pre-bidding at alderferauction.com until Thursday, June 12th at 10AM, at which time pre-bidding will cease and the auction will go live at the auction center (no live audience, just our auctioneer and auction staff).
Jewelry is a major category in the sale, with nearly 100 lots, including pieces by recognized brands and crafted from precious materials. Highlights include a Roberto Coin 18k yellow gold fringe-style necklace featuring brushed and polished links, and a Levian 14k yellow gold citrine and diamond necklace in chocolatier style with an approximate 2.0-carat citrine pendant. Van Cleef & Arpels is represented with both an 18k yellow gold Vintage Alhambra bracelet (five motifs) and matching earrings, both guilloché textured with mother-of-pearl inlays. Tiffany & Co. Is also represented, along with 10+ gold coins and Krugerrands.
Silver represented through American sterling silver flatware sets from established makers. These include a Wallace "Stradivari" sterling silver service with 63 pieces, a Stieff "Betsy Patterson Engraved" service with 60 pieces, and two Gorham sets: the "Lyric" pattern with 70 pieces and "Hispana - Sovereign" with 71 pieces. These lots reflect early to mid-20th-century craftsmanship. Tiffany & Co. Is also represented.
Fine Art offerings include oil paintings from early to mid-20th century American artists. Notable examples are by Edward Willis Redfield, John Singer Sargent, Alice Baber, Walter E. Baum, Violer Oakley, John E. Berninger, Anton Otto Fischer and John Berninger.
Asian Antiques include rare European interpretations of East Asian motifs. One key example is a Robert Linzeler for Cartier Japonisme vase, a French Art Deco etched crystal piece with engraved Japanese-inspired flora and fauna. Two German porcelain plaques round out this category: a late 19th-century KPM piece by Franz Xaver Thallmaier after Asti, and a Hutschenreuther plaque painted in the same tradition.
Furniture and Rug highlights include a Pennsylvania tall chest, New York Sheraton pembroke table, and Persian Serapi and Sarouk Ferahan rugs.

Furniture highlights include a Murray Gayman credenza in the Manner of Paul Evans, Paul McCobb for Winchendon Planner Group credenza and desk, Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller shell chairs, John Widdicomb chest, Maurice Villency bedroom suite, and a Ferruccio Laviani for Foscarini Orbital Floor Lamp.
