Beachwood, OH, USA, April 23, 2022 — Neue Auctions will celebrate the mild spring temperatures with an online-only Fine Interiors, Art & Antiques auction on Saturday, April 30th, one that will feature a wild and wonderful collection of objects assembled from estates and collections across Ohio, Naples, Florida and other locations. The auction will get underway promptly at 10 am Eastern.
“Every auction needs a little sparkle, and this sale features a nice selection of high-karat gold jewelry, plus two lovely ladies’ watches, one a Baignoire de Cartier, the other a Patek Philippe,” said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions. “We also have lots of beautiful, high-quality furniture, as well as lighting, glass, a good number of estate carpets and more – 381 lots in all.”
With a pre-sale estimate of $6,000-$8,000, the Baignoire Cartier 18kt yellow gold and diamond ladies’ watch, made around 2010, will probably finish as a top lot.

The sale features a 19th century French tole painted daybed in the campaign style with various Napoleonic scenes for decoration (est. $1,500-$2,500); and a rustic antique tole painted grape harvesting basket with an armorial and reading ‘Chateau de la Bernarde’ (est. $300-$500).

Decorative accessories will include a pair of Edwardian mahogany architectural doors with hand-painted classical-style vignettes, to include crouching female sphinxes and classical muses en grisaille in medallions, 96 inches by 25 inches (est. $1,000-$2,000); and an early 1900s Georgian style carved wood swan form jardiniere having a paint and gilt decorated surface and three swan neck supports on tripod scroll feet (est. $250-$450).
