Antique & Modern Furnishings, Décor, Nantucket Fine Art

The Antique & Modern Furnishings auction presented by Rafael Osona Auctions is primarily a collection of fine art, decorative art, and a notable array of jewelry. Among the pieces of jewelry with the highest estimated value is a South Sea, Tahitian, and pink freshwater pearl necklace held together by a 14k yellow gold and diamond clasp. Artworks of historical significance represent Nantucket, an island off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts like a Robert Stark Jr. painting “Red Sail”. Stark Jr. was a modernist known for his coastal scenes and his red-sailed catboats. He was also the founder and director of Nantucket’s oldest gallery, the Stark Gallery. Another painting by the water, albeit situated halfway across the world, is John Lochtefeld’s painting “Venice”, depicting the city’s famous canals. A carousel pig with European roots was crafted by Gustave Bayol, a French artist who was considered the foremost carousel maker in his country.
