Fabulous Estates, Italian and French Antiques

France and Italy epitomize the beauty of the old world. Their antiques and artifacts maintain their elegance far into the future. In their August 25 auction, Austin Auction Gallery offers many Italian and French antiques from several estates. Collectors will observe impressive and imposing works such as a French Louis XV-style silk damask dressing screen with its detailed woodwork and silk patterns. Alongside is a pair of 108-inch French bronze torchiere lamps reminiscent of a Renaissance-era French castle. 

More intricate and delicate pieces include several sets of Queen Victoria Herend China, each decorated with flora and butterflies in spring-like colors on a white background. And a 20th century German cuckoo clock featuring carved birds and squirrels as well as rotating figures above a wooden Roman numeral dial. Not to be overlooked are the many pieces of wood and upholstered furniture which range from decorative to practical.
