CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. - Professional Appraisers & Liquidators will conduct a 549-lot sale of antiques, fine art and collectibles on Oct. 31. Among the highlights is a painting attributed to leading American Expressionist Willem de Kooning. The auction will begin at 10 a.m. Eastern. LiveAuctioneers.com will provide Internet live bidding.
Lot 100 is a 9 7/8-inch by 7 7/8-inch acrylic and oil on parchment is attributed to Willem de Kooning (Dutch/American, 1904-1997). The artwork is signed "de Kooning" and dated "1969" on verso. It carries an estimate of $4,000-$6,000. Another interesting lot, no. 105, is a bronze signed M. Valentin of a seminude woman in a Classical drape. The 22-inch figure stands on a black marble plinth and is estimated at $2,000-$3,000. A large oil-on-canvas painting that doubles as three-panel dressing screen deserves a second look. Each panel is 67 inches by 20 inches and together depicts a Florida canal scene with foliage, dock and a small boat. It is signed on the upper right panel "Theodore Coe" and dated 1932. Theodore (Demerest) Coe is a listed artist born in 1866. The screen has a $1,500-$2,500 estimate. Furniture includes an 1830s Chippendale reverse serpentine slant-front desk in crotch-grain mahogany. It has a fitted interior with a shell carved central prospect door flanked by four pigeonholes over document drawers. The desk has a $2,000-$4,000 estimate. An English sterling silver tea and coffee service by John Sutter, 1842-1843, consists of a teapot, coffeepot, cream and sugar. Weighing more than 76 troy ounces, the melon-shape set with pear finials has a $2,000-$4,000 estimate. For details on any lot in the sale, call 800-542-3877.
