BEACHWOOD, Ohio - Aug. 26, 2024 - PRLog -- A rare and valuable canopy bed and dresser by Charles Rohlfs, ceramics from Pablo Picasso and Toshiko Takaezu, a Joan Miro lithograph, an oil painting attributed to David Teniers II, and a nice selection of vintage poster art will all come up for bid in an online-only Fine Art, Antiques & Jewelry auction slated for Saturday, September 7^th, by Neue Auctions.

The 347-loy auction will begin at 10 am Eastern time. "The Rohlfs canopy bed and dresser are the headliners, but the first twenty-four lots up for bid are wonderful examples of automotive poster art, plus we have great paintings and high-end luxury items by Cartier, Breitling and others," said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions.

The carved oak canopy bed and oak dresser by Charles Rohlfs (American, 1853-1936) were crafted circa 1900-1901 and were exhibited at the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y. The bed with steps has the carved maker's "sign-of-the-saw" cypher, dated 1901. The four-panel headboard has a carved harp-shaped crest and has a poppy motif with organic depictions.

The accompanying fumed oak, matte finish, three-drawer dresser with mirror is flanked by two carved panels, having three holes for pegs, to support two triangle shape shelves. The shelves held two candle stands (only one is surviving; it's the following item in this auction). The estimates are $30,000-$50,000 for the canopy bed and $8,000-$12,000 for the dresser.

The 1969 etching, aquatint, drypoint and carborundum on Arches paper by Joan Miro (Spanish, 1893-1983) is titled Dormir Sous La Lune and is artist signed in pencil lower right and numbered in pencil ("47/75") lower left. It was published by Galerie Maeght in Paris and is float mounted in a frame measuring 40 ¼ inches by 51 ½ inches (est. $8,000-$12,000).

There are two ceramics by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) for Madoura. One is a baluster form vase with two loop form handles, titled Décor Pastel (1953), earthenware with pastel decoration, numbered "22/200" (est. $8,000-$12,000). The other is an ovoid form ewer with pinched mouth and loop form handle, titled Yan Barbu (1963), in earthenware with painted black glaze decoration, numbered "179/300" (est. $4,000-$6,000). Both are 12 ¼ inches tall.
