Brilliant-Cut Diamond Ring and Signed Gallé Glass Table Lamp Lead Leonard Auction’s Event

This December Online Auction, presented by Leonard Auction, will particularly highlight a 14-karat yellow gold and four-carat diamond ring. An oval-shaped brilliant-cut diamond in the center is surrounded by two trillion-cut diamonds on either side. The central diamond is set slightly higher than the other two diamonds, drawing more attention. The accompanying GIA report states that the diamond is natural with VS2 clarity. A signed Gallé ‘Peony’ cameo glass table lamp is another highlight. It was made by French designer Émile Gallé, an artist known for his innovative use of colored glass and glass art techniques. While the lamp base and domed shade have red cameo peonies and leaves, the fitter looks like a three-arm spider with scarab end pieces. 

Other key lots in the auction include a Moser glass jardinière and stand. The ornamental pot is covered with painted and enameled leaf motifs, insects, and birds. The inside bottom of the base reads ‘654. D.180 Moser’ marked in golden paint. Bidders can also consider an oil painting by Alexandra Nechita, a Romanian-American painter who started exhibiting her artworks at the age of eight.
