New Orleans, LA, USA, October 23, 2022 -- An incredibly rare lady?s platinum dinner ring with a 7.96-carat Indian oval alexandrite, a 15-piece sterling silver punch set by Whiting, an outstanding pair of American 19th century carved mahogany tester beds, and an oil on board painting rendered in the manner of David Teniers (Belgium, 1582-1649) are a few of the expected top lots in Crescent City Auction Gallery?s November Major Estates Auction planned for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 4th, 5th, & 6th.

The auction, starting at 10 am Central time all three days, is packed with 1,222 choice lots in a wide variety of collecting categories. Bidding is available online, as well as live in the Crescent City gallery at 1330 Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans. In-person gallery previews will begin on Wednesday, October 26th, from 10-5 Central time. Phone and absentee bids will be accepted.

With a pre-sale estimate of $100,000-$200,000, the lady?s platinum dinner ring with a 7.96-carat Indian oval alexandrite surrounded by a double concentric border of tiny round diamonds is easily the auction?s headliner. The split shank is also mounted with tiny round diamonds. The total diamond weight is 1.05 carats. The ring is accompanied by an appraisal and a GIA report.

The early 20th century 15-piece sterling silver punch set by Whiting, is expected to change hands for $4,000-$8,000. The set consists of a large punchbowl, 28 pints, in a grape and vine motif, twelve matching punch cups, and two punch ladles, one by Whiting, retailed by George Brodnax (Memphis, Tenn.), and a Towle example in the ?Old English? pattern, plus a 2-tier wooden stand.

The oil on board in the manner of David Teniers the Elder is titled View of Amsterdam. It has a partially covered signature lower left and is dated ?46? lower left. A label on verso attributes the work to David Teniers the Elder (est. $1,000-$2,000). Also, a 19th century oil on canvas Dutch School painting titled Dutch Fishing Village, signed ?H. W. Mesdag? lower right, possibly Hendrik Willem Mesdag (Dutch, 1831-1915), in a gilt frame, carries an estimate of $800-$1,200.

The two 19th century American carved mahogany tester beds consist of one with an arched twisted spindle headboard, flanked by turned and octagonal posts, joined on wood rails and a single footboard (est. $1,000-$2,000); and a full tester double bed with an arched leaf carved headboard, flanked by tapered octagonal posts upholding a buttoned yellow silk tester, to arched rails and an arched footboard (est. $1,200-$1,800). Both gorgeous beds are over 100 inches tall.

The rest of the auction is fairly eclectic, with items ranging from a large collection of Asian objects to a collection of blackamoor figures to a large collection of fine jewelry (to include sapphires, diamonds, emeralds, rubies and more). Decorative accessories will feature a three-piece Sevres-style 19th century gilt bronze clock set by Japy Freres (France), the clock with a gilt decorated celestial blue covered urn surmount, and with leaf and berry handles (est. $600-$900).
