Fine Art, Silver, Jewelry, Antiques, Asian, Mid-century Modern, & More

Clarke’s Fine Art, Silver, Jewelry, Antiques, Asian, Mid-Century Modern & More Auction includes many important pieces of art, jewelry, and antiques. This broad auction contains a variety of styles and eras, spanning from the 17th century to the 21st, and ranging from pastoral scenes to postmodern pop art.  

 However, it is the old master paintings that set this auction apart, as each piece is rendered with brushstrokes so minute they are almost indiscernible. The 18th-century ladies and gentlemen in period fashion would be unique additions to many homes. And with fine art bids beginning at $150-$7,500 they are well within reach for many collectors. Leading the art portion is a colonial John Wollaston oil portrait as well as a Walter Elmer Schofield southwestern landscape. Several contemporary pieces like a mixed media Frog King Kwok are also present.  

 Noteworthy Asian works include a jade bowl carved into a dragon and several pieces of porcelain, contemporary and antique items as well as the jewelry portion, which is dominated by pearls, emeralds, and sapphires. Showcased jewelry includes a stunning 22.39 CT square-cut emerald necklace and a gorgeous unheated sapphire ring. Other items of note are one owner 2004 Porsche Carrera, a baby grand piano, and large groupings of sterling flatware and tea services.
