Neue Auctions will say good-bye to 2024 with a pair of online-only auctions, December 12th and 13th

BEACHWOOD, Ohio - Dec. 5, 2024 - PRLog -- Neue Auctions will bid farewell to 2024 with a tantalizing pair of online-only auctions on Thursday and Friday, December 12^th and 13^th, starting both days at 12 o'clock noon Eastern time. The December 12^th auction is titled Got Gifts? The Holiday Auction, while the December 13^th auction will showcase American and European Fine Art and Antiques.

"On December 12^th we will be hosting a curated event for exceptional gift-giving," said Cynthia Maciejewski of Neue Auctions. "The catalog isn't huge – just 164 lots – but up for bid are luxury bags and scarves, bullion stocking stuffers, antique and contemporary jewelry, watches and coins, all reasonably estimated and just a few items have reserves. They'd make perfect gifts."

The December 13^th sale will have a broader offering of 345 lots. "We're bringing fresh to the market fine art and antiques from prominent Cleveland and surrounding area estates and collections – a generational turnover of houses, estates pantries and the like," said Bridget McWilliams of Neue Auctions. "Many interesting old Persian carpets will also be sold."

Three original oil paintings, all offered on Day 2, should compete for overall top lot honors. They will be led by a landscape with clouds by Teng Hiok-Chiu (Chinese/American, 1903-1932), titled Taos, New Mexico. The work, authenticated by the artist's wife, is signed lower right and titled, and housed in a 29 ¼ inch by 34 ¼ inch period frame (est. $15,000-$25,000).

The second painting is an 1890 figural rendering by Alberta Binford McCloskey (American, 1863-1911), a husband-and-wife painter known for still lifes in oranges wrapped in tissue paper. The painting, titled Eleanor in a Field of Daisies, is a rare portrait of the artist's daughter. The 16 inch by 10 inch painting (canvas, minus the frame) is signed lower right (est. $10,000-$15,000).

The third painting is an oil on board by Frederick Carl Frieseke (American, 1874-1939), titled Woman at Her Dressing Table, which Ms. McWilliams described as "a beautiful small jewel, very fresh to the market, and in the same Hunting Valley, Ohio estate since 1950-1960." The diminutive work, 9 ¾ inches by 11 ¼ inches (less the frame) is artist signed (est. $5,000-$8,000).
