Emporium Auction

Brunk Auctions’ upcoming sale features a range of jewelry, various 20th– and 21st-century paintings, and furniture. The auction will also offer Asian art and antiques, including porcelain, sculpture, and Chinese decorative lamps.

In the spotlight of this sale is an L. & J.G. Stickley Morris chair. The chair was originally designed by William Morris and adapted by Gustav Stickley. This style of furniture arose from the Arts & Crafts Movement. The offered piece is a 20th-century chair made of oak with slatted arms. Another highlighted piece is a set of four Chinese dragon vases. Representing auspiciousness and power, the dragon-horse figures shown on the vases are significant symbols of tradition. Emblematic of great energy, dragons also imply perseverance and the pursuit of progress. Other notable lots include a set of Louis XV-style gilt bronze fireplace andirons.
