Woodbury, CT – On Sunday December 9th Tom Schwenke’s Woodbury Auction held its Annual Holiday Fine Estates Auction with a diverse offering of 515 lots of estate material from the estates of Julian Bach of New York City, Georgiana Ducas of Saratoga Springs, NY and numerous other estates and consignors. A standing room only crowd was present in the saleroom to compete for the fine art work, jewelry and decorative arts items. According to Schwenke, owner/auctioneer, the sale had over 800 bidders competing online during the sale.

The highlight of the auction was the sale of two Emile Gruppe oil on canvas artworks. The paintings - “Gloucester Winter” and “Afternoon Light Vermont” – were both accompanied by the original invoices from Gruppe directly to the consignor’s family, and sold for $10,800 and $10,200 respectively.

An Italian pietra dura plaque of butterflies hammered for $2,829 after competition from multiple bidders in the room and online. A vintage, small Louis Vuitton steamer trunk with an original label sparked interest and ultimately went to a UK bidder for $7,380.00. Two lithographs by Thomas Hart Benton, “In the Ozarks” and “The Music Lesson”, were claimed by a phone bidder for “$960 and $1560.

Three Walter Matia bronze sculptures, all from the Ducas Estate, were featured items in the sale. The sculpture of the eagle soared to $9,300; the red fox scampered away with $4,500, and the turkey trotted to a winning bidder for $1,501. A Venetian carved stylized monkey figure sold for $2,583 to an online bidder.

Woodbury Auction’s next sale is Sunday, February 10th. Consignments for the firm’s Important Spring Americana sale are being accepted through March 13th.
