Austin Auction Gallery serves up Texas-size slice of Americana March 21

An impressive collection of more than a dozen pairs of mantel lusters include Victorian Bristol, satin and ruby glass will be offered with conservative estimates ranging from $200-$400.

Huge lots of glass and porcelain will steal the show with large quantities of American Brilliant Period cut glass, Bohemian glass, cobalt glass, Bristol glass, Victorian bisque figures, Baker O’Brian and other studio art glass.

“It is unusual to have such a large and diverse collection of glass from one estate,” said Victoria Nickell, Austin Auction Gallery’s decorative arts appraiser.

Another highlight is a scarce Royal Doulton porcelain figure HN 2066 Minuet in red costume. Designed by Peggy Davies, the red version of Minuet was produced only between 1950 and 1955.

A monumental American oak carved fireplace surround, a 19th-century Plantation desk, an American oak corner cupboard with marquetry doors, a five-piece grain-painted cottage bedroom suite, several Globe-Wernicke stacking bookcases including an unusual half-sized piece with beveled glass, and early Texas furniture are only a few of the fine lots of primarily American antiques to be offered.
