Melissa Bennie, Head of Sale, European Ceramics and Glass, comments: “Extraordinary and unique works by celebrated 19th century artists hammered at the top of yesterday’s Opulent Eye auction. These rare well-documented pieces enjoyed active bidding from around the globe. Included was an important Japonisme ebonized étagère vitrine by the Parisian artist Edouard Lièvre and a remarkable collaborative neo-Gothic chandelier designed by Émile Vaudremer and sculpted by Emmanuel Frémiet. Likewise, the intricately engraved glass vessels of the British artist George Woodall of the Gem Workshop at Thomas Webb & Son produced robust results. The sale closed on a high note with a Ningxia Chinese carpet dating to the second half of the 17th century realizing $118,750.”
