September 15th, 2023 Estate Treasures Auction

Nye & Company Auctioneers three-day, online-only Chic and Antique Estate Treasures auction planned for Wednesday thru Friday, September 13th to 15th, will feature American, English and Continental furniture, an extensive selection of silver and a broad selection of fine art. The catalog is packed with 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. Moving slightly south and west, another group of property is coming from a prominent Philadelphia and UK family. Heading back up the Eastern seaboard to New York, the sale has property formerly in the collection of Ian and Carolina Irving, the famous and well-known textile designer and taste maker. Some pieces were featured in World of Interiors and various other shelter magazines. Travelling north to Connecticut, the sale includes a private collection from Darien. This single-owner section contains a diverse mix of European and Continental furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as some designer furniture from the 20th century. Moving up from Connecticut, we come to the well-known and regarded Rhode Island collector, Stanley Weiss. Collecting for over 30 years, Stanley developed an eye for the early American aesthetic with an emphasis on the Queen Anne through the Neoclassical periods. A private collector from Massachusetts and Kennebunkport, Maine has included a fabulous Federal inlaid mahogany games table probably made in New Hampshire circa 1800-1820, among other things. Highlights include a number of Georg Jensen sterling silver bowls coming from a private Harding Township, New Jersey collection.
