Steuben, Tiffany, Baccarat, and Paul Stankard Glassware Star in the Fabulous Collection of Mr. & Mrs. Schultz

This winter, Akiba Antiques is bringing the Collection of Mr. & Mrs. Schultz to auction. Leading the catalog are glassware items from Steuben, Tiffany, Baccarat, Paul Stankard, and more. A tall Steuben Cintra cologne bottle stands out. Designed by Frederick Carder, the paperweight-style multi-faceted crystal cologne bottle has vibrant hues of pink and blue. The colors merge gradually and seamlessly. Controlled bubbles decorate and enhance the depth of the bottle. Another top lot in glassware is a Tiffany & Co. Peking vase from the 1889 Paris Exhibition. Designed by Thomas Webb & Sons, it bears a cranberry red color against a white background. 

A French Sèvres porcelain and gilt bronze mantel clock set from the early 1900s is another leading lot. Styled after the Sèvres items designed for French royals, centerpieces like this reflect a life of opulence. The pendulum movement clock is marked Japy Freres Grande Med d’Honneur, and its case has double turquoise ground seated Putti figures. The clock features top-mounted seven-light candelabras flanked by double figural maiden busts and hand-painted courting scenes. A rare find among furniture is an Italian Bartolozzi e Maioli dining table set featuring carved wood leaf chairs with a matching leaf table base, completed with a polished onyx tabletop (circa 1970).
