Bloomfield, NJ, USA, August 31, 2023 -- Nye & Company Auctioneers? three-day, online-only Chic and Antique Estate Treasures auction planned for Wednesday thru Friday, September 13th-15th, will feature American, English and Continental furniture, an extensive selection of silver and a broad selection of fine art. The event will begin promptly at 10 am Eastern time.

The catalog is packed with more than 1,000 lots - a curated mix of fine and decorative arts spanning from the 18th century to the present day. Included will be Part V of property from the Stanley Weiss collection, as well as private collections along the Eastern seaboard from Maine to Pennsylvania.

The largest single-owner section of property is being consigned by a private Princeton, New Jersey collector. Highlights include an oil on silk of a mother and child from the French/Vietnamese artist Le Pho. This work dates from his Romanet period of 1946-1962 and is estimated conservatively at $40,000-$60,000.

The collection also includes three Severin Roesen oil paintings. Two are similar fruit-filled horizontal still lifes and the third is a floral still life in a vertical composition. These dynamic paintings are each estimated to sell between $20,000-$40,000.

Another highlight is a truly special enameled silver singing bird box by the Swiss maker Charles Bruguier. The little automaton was made circa 1850 and is numbered 250. Bruguier only made about 10 of these extremely fine and rare boxes per year.

Continuing along with the silver theme, the collection has a wide variety of silver objects that include a Bulgari sterling silver domino set, a Tiffany & Co. enameled silver cigarette box and a rare set of three sterling silver Navette-form bowls with cobalt glass inserts by the highly regarded English silversmith, Matthew Boulton.

The collection also includes a nice selection of American and English furniture, including a terrific Federal inlaid mahogany bowfront drop-panel chest of drawers made in Portsmouth, New Hampshire between 1800 and 1820.

Moving slightly south and west, another group of property is coming from a prominent Philadelphia and UK family. Headlining the group is a life-size portrait of Queen Victoria. Painted by Charles Cohill in 1856, this impressive painting is a copy of Thomas Sully?s highly regarded portrait. The Cohill work is documented in Carrie Rebora Barratt?s book Queen Victoria and Thomas Sully and is expected to realize $20,000-$40,000.

The family also has an excellent oil on board depicting the Marquis de Lafayette, after Ary Scheffer. This well executed copy is similar to Scheffer?s work, which is currently on display at the US House of Representatives in Washington DC. The painting depicts Lafayette and was brought to the US during his return trip to the United States in 1824-1825.
