Edens Auctions is proud to offer a Living Estate antiques collection from a prominent Memphis family. Gathered piece by piece over a lifetime, the
collection reflects a connoisseur's eye for the very best in decorative arts from ancient Chinese glass tomb offerings to mid-century modern art glass. Simply put,
prepare to be amazed at items we ourselves have never seen before, or have seen only in books. We invite you to join us for days of wonder, and you will see
Chinese cloisonne palace vases tall as Shetland ponies, a pristine Bradley & Hubbard reverse-painted parlor lamp, a Lalique Maltese Falcon statue, a Japanese
netsuke carved as a fretful dragon, a Navajo "Old Pawn" squash blossom necklace, a pair of William Gudenrath dragon stem goblets, a massive Jorge Luna
carved glass centerpiece, over fifty pieces of Japanese Imari, a Flavio Poli Murano fish sculpture, Victorian art glass, 19th Century hard paste Capodimonte
porcelain, Flow Blue china, a large American Brilliant Cut Glass "Mary" punch bowl, oil paintings, original Walt Disney animation cels, French bronzes, Satsuma,
Dresden, Herend Porcelain, Baccarat, sterling silver, Venetian Glass, antique Meiji ivories, Waterford Crystal, Scandinavian art glass... the list goes on and on.
And yes, it even includes a Faberge egg (albeit crystal). This is truly an auction event, after which snoozy antiques dealers will say, "I can't believe I missed it!"
All items are unreserved, and given the huge quantity of beautiful things, each piece must be sold in the blink of an eye.
