Auction PreviewItalian Armillary Spheres & Giltwood Bronze Side Tables Highlight the Upcoming Sale by Andrew Jones Auctions
An armillary sphere is a model representing celestial objects with a framework of metallic rings centered on either the Sun or Earth. These bands depict the longitude and latitude lines and other significant astronomical features. During the Renaissance period, scholars associated the armillary sphere with knowledge and acumen. Various notable figures of the age often posed for their portrait paintings with a sphere positioned next to them. A pair of mid-19th century Italian armillary spheres highlights the upcoming John Nelson Collection sale (Part II), presented by Andrew Jones Auctions. Made of Grand Tour gilt bronze, the spheres seemingly float above Fior Di Pesco and Carrara marble. Another notable lot of Italian origin is a pair of giltwood bronze side tables. The Neoclassical tables feature Lumachella Pavonazzo veneered marble tops. Also known as “fire marble,” Lumachella is a highly rare variety of iridescent marble made of fossilized clam and snail shells. It often adorns stone or mosaic surfaces. A pair of Chinese cachepots made of celadon porcelain also leads the listings. “Celadon” describes both jade green glazed ware and transparent glazing on porcelain. The pottery originated in China and later spread to Korea and Japan. To view the complete catalog and register to bid online, visit Andrew Jones Auctions.

Auction IndustryAndrew Jones Auctions’ First-ever Auction Of Collections Curated By Designers Of Distinction Totals Under $2M
Pair of fine Louis XVI gilt bronze and marble two tier étagères, late 18th century, 37 ¼ inches tall and 51 inches wide ($45,000). LOS ANGELES, CA.- The results of Andrew Jones Auctions’ first-ever auction of Collections Curated by Designers of Distinction were nothing short of phenomenal, as 97 percent of lots found new owners in a sale that totaled just under $2 million. The event was held February 23rd, online and in the downtown Los Angeles gallery at 2221 South Main Street. The sale comprised nearly 500 lots, pulled from six California collections assembled by legends of interior design: Kalef Alaton, Craig Wright, Henrix Allardyce, Therien & Company, Inc., Steven Volpe and James Lumsden. Luxuriously upholstered chairs, elegant occasional tables, Chinoiserie decoration, fine art selections and exquisite objects struck a chord with bidders. ‘We seem to have turned back the clock to a time when richly appointed interiors were the paradigm,” said Andrew Jones, president and CEO of Andrew Jones Auctions. “It was exciting to see so many decorators, collectors and grand millennials – many of them new clients – battle for each lot. It’s a great shot in the arm for traditional quality works with important provenance.” A busy three-day preview in a gorgeously presented gallery led to a packed room on auction day with over 100 in-room clients, a full bank of phone bidders and two active online platforms bringing in buyers from around the world. Approximately 2,500 people registered to bid online. Following are some of the major highlights from the auction. Internet bidding was facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Also, 430 in house registrations for absentee, phone and in-room bidding were recorded. All prices quoted include a sliding scale buyer’s premium. The top lot of the sale was a beautiful ebonized Bosendorfer grand piano from the estate of Yasuko and Maury Kraines that fetched $46,250. From the same collection, a spectacular Victorian glass 24-light chandelier by Perry & Co. reached $40,000. The estate of Francis A. Martin III included a chic pair of Louis XVI bronze and marble étagères that achieved $45,000. A wonderful collection from a…
