An exceptional collection of English antique brass lighting and hearth items, fine porcelain tableware and decorative vases, Mettlach steins and Buffalo Deldare as well several continental figural bronzes. Victorian cast and wrought iron garden furniture, while somewhat out of season, needs to be sold. A collection of interesting ethnographic masks and figures from Africa and other locales were donated by an arts patron to the WSW in Rosendale to further their programs along with additions from two other collections.
Artworks include portraits by Raphael Soyer, Kenneth Frazier, and two from the NYC estate attributed to Gilbert Stuart, 2 by Takeo Shiiki, a fine Felix Speth oil of a millhouse, several dog and horse paintings and an early old master oil on panel. Earnest Olsen, a local painter, is represented by several oils as well as his personal papers. Another offering from a recent storage lot discovery is apparently the entire collection of work by Robert Boernstein of which his initial offering consists of 20 abstract oils and constructions, some very large and somewhat unique.
A large collection of Asian items from the Akron estate by way of Briarcliff NY will include fine porcelains, several Chinese and Japanese bronzes, cinnabar lacquer, cloisonne, Chinese and other carpets, a large Canton tableware set and other artifacts.
