AC Stickley Arts & Crafts Auction

The upcoming Arts & Crafts Auction, presented by California Historical Design – AC Stickley, offers 400 lots of decorative arts, fine art, furniture, and more. A key item of the sale is a copper and mica lamp designed by Dirk van Erp. Originally from Leeuwarden, Netherlands, van Erp immigrated to California in 1890 and opened the Art Copper Shop in 1908. The following year, he collaborated with Elizabeth Eleanor D’Arcy Gaw to design his signature copper and mica lamps. The available piece features an orange mica shade on a hand-hammered copper base. Another highlighted piece from van Erp is a brass shell casing from 1908.

Among the leading lots is a painting of California oak trees by American artist Percy Gray. Often associated with Californian landscapes, Gray was particular about the time of the day and the trees he chose to paint. He often traveled great distances to find the perfect scene. A Roycroft leaded glass cabinet built during the American Arts and Crafts Movement will also be offered. To explore these lots and to register to bid, visit Bidsquare.
