Yet again, it’s time for Rago Arts‘ Craftsman Weekend – by far the richest and most extensive auction of A&C craft and decorative art. This year, the catalogues – both versions [1 / 2], one for each day – are available as PDFs for download, and the stock is as always available for browsing online.
David and Jerry have put together an amazing number of one-of-a-kind pieces this time: a whole range of 1920s Marie Zimmerman metalwork, including some really incredible boxes, tumblers and vases; a number of great examples of Rookwood and Newcomb work, including a few less common pieces; and some really amazing stuff that I wish I could see in person. A selection follows:
- Dirk van Erp hammered copper fireplace screen
- John Bennett painted jar
- immaculately-restored Stickley wickerwork
- Limoge style decorated Rookwood bowl
- set of 28 Frank Lloyd Wright blueprints
- pair of Charles Rennie Mackintosh architectural drawings
- an "extremely rare" Dard Hunter / Roycroft table lamp with a beautiful glass shade
