Louis Icart Painting and Daum Glassware on Offer With Treasureseeker Auction

Louis Icart’s famous Art Deco paintings drew heavily on his experience working in the fashion industry. In the early 20th century, the young Icart moved to Paris for a career in art and illustration. He found luck working on the cutting edge of fashion, which was emerging from centuries of traditional bustles to embrace rising hemlines and flapper sensibilities. A fashionable painting by Louis Icart showing three women in a horse-drawn coach will lead this upcoming sale from Treasureseeker Auction. This 1920s piece comes in its original antique white frame. 

Collectors of decorative art and glass items will find a broad selection of Daum pieces in this end-of-summer event. Among the top lots is a Daum inkwell with whimsical insect applications attached. Using a combination of leafy motifs and rich green tones, this inkwell evokes the forest floor. Other key items from the Nancy-based crystal studio include a large cameo glass vase showing a waterside scene, a pair of boudoir lamps, and assorted decorative glass sculptures. Among the offered silver lots, a Buccellati tea service is particularly notable. It comes with a silver teapot, coffee pot, creamer, sugar, and handled tray.
