Sotheby's Important 20th Century Design and Important Tiffany Sales on 15 December

Sotheby’s sale of Important 20th Century Design, held in New York on 15 December 2012, will offer a curated selection of European and American decorative arts and design from the last 100 years. The 160 lot sale includes a strong selection of French Art Deco masterworks, highlighted by a Highly Important and Unique “Roses” Vase (est. $600/800,000) by René Lalique circa 1913, which is emblematic of the most accomplished work executed in cire perdue glass by Lalique. This early and rare vase was executed by Maurice Bergelin, who was in charge of the molding workshop, under the direction of Lalique. Also up for auction is a unique variant of Demeter Chiparus’ five-figure Les Girls sculpture (est. $300/500,000) which is the only example presently known in this smaller jewel-like scale and turquoise patina color

Also on 15 December is Sotheby’s sale of Important Tiffany which includes a highly-curated selection of iconic works in all artistic disciplines by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany Studios, highlighted by an exciting selection of the firm’s iconic leaded glass lamps, favrile glass and bronze tablewares. The sale will be highlighted by An Important and Rare “Magnolia” Floor Lamp (est. $650/800,000) circa 1915 with a “Scroll” Senior floor base, one of Tiffany Studios’ most important and defining floor lamp designs. This 28-inch domed Magnolia shade is the largest standard model that Tiffany Studios produced, and the large magnolia blossoms are well-suited to the impressive scale of the shade. This example displays a highly naturalistic glass selection, depicting a range of opalescent white, purple, amber and pale green magnolia blossoms with fiery orange centers, set against a deep and intensely mottled cobalt blue ground.

Both sales will be on view in our York Avenue headquarters beginning on 8 December, alongside the sale of Masterworks by Tiffany Studios from the Geyer Family Collection.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
