The Elegant Home

The late Italian painter Nicola Simbari was celebrated for his distinctive approach to Neo-Impressionism. Several of his works explore Mediterranean scenes while experimenting with pastel colors. Among the featured lots in the upcoming Elegant Home auction, presented by Bonhams, is Simbari’s oil on canvas work titled Windy Morning. The piece shows a view of the beach with two girls walking toward the ocean. Also highlighted in this event is a Heriz carpet. This Persian piece comes from Heris, a town in northwest Iran best known for its minimalistic medallions. 

Among the silverware pieces available in this auction is a set of 16 Canadian sterling silver cups by Henry Birks & Sons. Established in 1879, Henry Birks first started the company as a small jewelry shop in Montreal. After a few decades, the company took over a silverware and medals manufacturer. That move helped establish Henry Birks & Sons as a leading silver producer of the 20th century. A sculpture by Charles Hafner of a mother walking with her two children is offered as well.
