In the Furniture & Decorative Arts section of our July 18th auction, Clars will offer a strong lineup of fine traditional pieces and feature esteemed makers like William Moorcroft and Augustin Heyne.

Antique Persian Bidjar Carpet

Bidjar rugs, woven in northwest Iran, are famed for their dense structure and durability, often referred to as the “iron carpets of Persia.” This antique example displays a rich, jewel-toned palette and classical geometric motifs, balancing tribal tradition with refined technique. Such carpets were long favored in European interiors for their resilience and grandeur.

William Moorcroft

British potter William Moorcroft (1872–1945) earned international acclaim for his hand-decorated art pottery, characterized by deep glazes and naturalistic themes. His flambé pieces, like this undersea-themed vase, utilize complex kiln chemistry to achieve glowing, unpredictable surface effects — no two glazes are alike. Moorcroft’s work was embraced by collectors and royalty alike, and he remains one of the most collected ceramicists of the early 20th century.

Augustin Heyne

A rare and exquisitely preserved tankard by Augustin Heyne, a master silversmith from Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland), this work exemplifies the lavish artistry of early Baroque German metalwork. Parcel-gilt detailing, figural repoussé, and historic inscriptions reflect the ceremonial function of such vessels. It is a remarkable artifact from a time when silver was both status symbol and heirloom.

Florentine Cassone

The cassone, or marriage chest, was one of the most important furnishings in the Italian Renaissance home. Commissioned by wealthy families, they were often adorned with allegorical scenes, coats of arms, and lavish ornamentation. This example, dating to the late Gothic period in Florence, is notable for its early painted decoration and architectural form, marking it as both utilitarian and symbolic. Very few cassoni from this early period survive outside major museum collections, making this piece a rare and culturally significant offering.

Clars is pleased to announce the upcoming Modern Design, Art, Jewelry, & Asian Auction, taking place on Friday, July 18th, beginning at 9:30 AM PDT. This dynamic sale features a curated selection of exceptional works across multiple categories, including modern and traditional furniture, notable fine art, exquisite jewelry, and important Asian works of art.

Fine Art

The Fine Art category will feature a broad range of works from celebrated artists across time periods and styles. Leading the sale is an oil on canvas by Edmund Osthaus (German-American, 1858–1928), depicting three setters in a lush autumn landscape. Osthaus is celebrated for his detailed portrayals of hunting dogs, and this exemplary piece is estimated at $20,000–$40,000.

Also on offer is a tranquil oil landscape by Albert Bierstadt (German-American, 1830–1902), known for his luminous and romantic views of the American West. The painting features rolling hills, a lake, and a pastel sunset sky, and carries an estimate of $10,000–$15,000. From the mid-20th century, a gelatin silver print by Diane Arbus (American, 1923–1971), titled Russian Midget Friends in a Living Room on 100th St., New York City, 1963, will be featured. This intimate and striking photograph is estimated at $7,000–$10,000.

Additional highlights include paintings by John Marshall Gamble, Franz Bischoff, and Edward Mitchell Bannister, as well as prints by Sam Francis and Mel Ramos.

Another standout is a gold-embroidered rustground dragon robe, a richly decorated textile evoking the imperial splendor of Qing dynasty court attire.

Complementing the textiles is a Chinese huanghuali side table, admired for its graceful proportions and deep patina. The auction also includes jade articles, ceramics, scholar’s objects, and additional embroidered textiles, making this a compelling opportunity for collectors of Asian art.

The Warehouse Auction: July 19th

On Saturday, July 19th, Clars will host its Warehouse Auction, offering a diverse selection of items at accessible price points. This sale will feature an eclectic mix of art, prints, photographs, modern and antique furniture, silver, porcelain, glass, fashion, and decorative objects. Notable highlights from the Asian Art section will include Japanese woodblock prints, ceramics, and folding screens — perfect for collectors looking to add unique, culturally significant pieces to their collections.

On June 19th, Clars is proud to present the Estate of Eddi Van Auken at our Fine Curiosities Auction. Eddi was a San Francisco Bay Area antique historian, collector, artist, and author who spent over 30 years acquiring, researching, and cataloguing antique walking sticks from around the world.

It was actually an accident in her home that ignited her foray into walking sticks: she fell down the stairs, fractured her tailbone, and needed a cane to walk. Pharmacy canes wouldn’t suffice — and she thought, surely there had to be other, more artistic options. And thus, a collection of unparalleled breadth and quality was born — and continued to grow, long after her injury healed.

Eddi started life as “Ethel Sady,” named for a beloved grandmother and then subsequently renamed Eddi by college friends who felt the name better suited her gorgeous, sassy, and brilliant personality. Despite her petite 5’4″ frame, she lit up any room with her vibrant presence, catching the attention of Wendell “Van” Van Auken, whom she married at 19 (he was 21) before they drove west in a green Corvette to California.

In the Bay Area, Eddi fully developed her extraordinary gift for finding beauty in the everyday and transforming the mundane into the magnificent, designing a family home that showcased her impeccable taste through unexpected combinations of chic, edgy, whimsical, and vintage pieces. As her collection of antique walking sticks grew, she authored a respected compendium on walking sticks titled Vertical Art and was working on a second book, Masterpieces, when she passed away. Beyond her artistic pursuits, Eddi was deeply committed to empowering women across all fields and supported initiatives promoting early lung cancer detection. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome, seen, and appreciated. Eddi passed away peacefully in August 2024, at age 77 from complications arising from metastatic lung cancer, leaving behind a legacy as vibrant as her personality.

Clars is pleased to announce Fine Curiosities: The Estate of Eddi Van Auken, an extraordinary single-owner auction to be held on Thursday, June 19th. This event features a distinctive and eclectic array of antiques, decorative arts, architectural elements, and folk treasures assembled over decades by the late Eddi Van Auken, a passionate and discerning collector.

Among the standout lots is a remarkable selection of walking canes, featuring examples in Folk Art, French, and Russian styles, each boasting unique handles and craftsmanship. These pieces, estimated between $300–$800, reflect both utility and artistry. Equally intriguing is a group of English ironstone advertising display stands, early commercial relics that today serve as charming decorative objects, estimated at $500–$700.

A centerpiece of the auction is an imposing Belle Époque silvered bronze nine-light chandelier, a grand and luminous statement from turn-of-the-century France. With its elegant form and refined detailing, it is expected to realize between $4,000–$6,000. From the realm of classical architecture come two large carved Corinthian capitals, ideal as sculptural décor or for restoration purposes, with an estimate of $800–$1,200.

Further bridging history and function is a rare clock tower movement, a mechanical marvel with sculptural appeal estimated at $600–$800. For design aficionados, a pair of Art Deco lounge chairs represents 1930s elegance and modernity, also carrying estimates of $600–$800.

Rustic charm is found in a pair of 18th-century French carved walnut cutting boards, rich with patina and history, expected to bring $800–$1,200. A highlight of devotional art in the sale is a Spanish Colonial polychromed wood Santos figure of a woman, distinguished by its expressive carving and colorful finish. It stands as a testament to colonial craftsmanship.

For collectors of luxury objects d’art, a French walking cane with a 22k gold handle adorned with turquoise and amethyst offers a fusion of opulence and curiosity. Estimated at $800–$1,200, it is one of the more refined personal accessories in the sale. Folk Art also takes a whimsical turn with a painted canvas ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’ game, a playful and nostalgic piece valued at $400–$600.

Additional curiosities include a collection of factice (dummy) perfume bottles, once used for advertising, now charming collectibles with an estimate of $400–$600. A group of seven Mexican cowrie shell souvenir baskets and a whimsical pair of carved wood heeled clogs continue the theme of cultural craft and novelty, estimated at $400–$600 and $300–$500 respectively.

A collector favorite is a Wemyss Ware ceramic seated pig, hand-painted by Joseph Nekola, a delightful example of Scottish ceramic artistry estimated at $500–$700. For those with a taste for the anatomical and academic, a carved écorché study of a man’s head stands out as a rare and introspective piece, estimated at $300–$500.

Rounding out the collection is a Black Forest carved lindenwood pedestal jardinière, richly detailed and ideal for interior display, estimated at $500–$700, and a notable group of full-size religious figures from French, Spanish Colonial, and Italian traditions, together estimated between $1,200–$2,500. These figures display the range of devotional artistry across continents and centuries.

“This auction reflects the truly personal and passionate collecting style of Eddi Van Auken,” said Suzy Pai, Senior Specialist of Furniture & Decorative Arts at Clars. “Each object tells a story, and together they offer a rare and whimsical journey through centuries of design, craftsmanship, and eccentric beauty.”

Clars is pleased to present a thoughtfully curated Furniture, Art, Jewelry & Asian Art Auction on May 16th beginning at 9:30 AM PDT. The auction will feature an exceptional selection of pieces that span cultures, eras, and collecting categories.

This sale will feature an eclectic mix of art, prints, photographs, modern and antique furniture, silver, porcelain, glass, fashion, and decorative objects. Notable highlights from the Asian Art section will include Japanese woodblock prints, ceramics, and folding screens — perfect for collectors looking to add unique, culturally significant pieces to their collections.

This April we are honored to present the extraordinary art collection of Lila Mae “Peggy” Azad — a woman whose lifelong devotion to the arts lives on through her legacy.

Peggy once wrote: “I am the temporary custodian. In exchange for the privilege of living with and caring for my objects I am leaving them all for a museum or art gallery for the ‘public’ to enjoy after Manouch and I are no longer alive.” Her wish was to ensure that her collection would one day be shared with the world.

This significant collection includes over 90 Chinese and Japanese ivory sculptures and more than 114 diverse works from around the globe — spanning American, Chinese, French, Iranian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Native American, Russian, Thai, and Vietnamese origins. The pieces vary in form and material, including porcelain, cloisonné, glass vases, plates, bowls, bronze and carved alabaster sculptures, a Russian brass samovar, Japanese woodblock prints, and hand-woven Iranian silk tapestry panels threaded with gold and silver.

Notably, the collection features works by renowned Iranian artists Parviz Tanavoli and Sia Armajani, reflecting Peggy’s deep connection to both international and Iranian art and culture.

Born on May 5, 1933, in her family’s home in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Jesse Joseph Schneider and Laura Harriette Ronning Schneider, Peggy — known to many simply as Peggy Azad — lived a life filled with purpose, passion, and artistic appreciation.

Big moment on Pawn Stars! Our very own appraiser, Deric Torres from Clars Auctions, helped a customer who thought she had a rare Oscar Bach Hall telephone table worth a fortune. After closely inspecting the piece, Deric revealed it wasn’t authentic — here’s why:

…because the casting was not well done, not marked, and not executed in the same manner one would expect on a well-documented authentic example. Below is information about the history of the firm, and Bach’s bitter break up with business partner Bertram Segar — who is infamous for making poor reproductions of designs created by Bach.

Oscar Bach was a technically adept, stylistically diverse, and commercially successful master metalsmith. Born in Germany, he studied at both the Royal Academy and Imperial Academy of Art in Berlin before becoming the artistic director of a metallic arts firm in Hamburg. In 1911, Bach won the Grand Prix at the World’s Exposition in Turin for a bed he designed for Kaiser Wilhelm II. That same year, he moved to the United State to establish a business with his brother Max in New York City.

The brothers quickly opened a metal design studio and flourished throughout the 1920s and 30s, with Oscar creating beautiful objects for wealthy New York clientele and custom architectural elements for country estates. He designed a multitude of domestic objects and grand commissions, including the lobby panel for the Empire State Building and monumental plaques for Radio City Music Hall — created in collaboration with Hildreth Meiere. Bach was awarded the prestigious Medal of Honor in 1926 from the Architectural League of New York for a set of bronze doors he designed for their club room. Not just a talented designer, but a savvy marketer and self-promoter, Bach enjoyed a long and successful career. His work can be found in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Minneapolis Museum of Art, The Wolfsonian, and Reynolda House.

In April of 1923, upon an acrimonious split with a third business partner named Bertram Segar, the Bach brothers moved to a new studio at 511 West 42nd Street and renamed their firm Oscar B. Bach and Associated Craftsmen. Bertram Segar remained in the West 17th Street studio, renaming it The Segar Studios. There, Bertram Segar continued to reproduce many of Bach’s original designs and variations on Bach’s designs, either selling them in an unmarked state or stamping them with his SEGAR STUDIOS mark.

Desperate to set the record straight, Bach put full page advertisements in multiple issues of Arts & Decorations stating that, “All products designed and executed in my studios bear my facsimile signature, and no other articles are genuine.” And, “It is distressing to find other things — ugly things that I could not create, put before the public with the insinuation that they are my work. It is not only distressing but a fraud on the public.”

This is why the conclusion of it not being authentic was determined. Watch the full story unfold and how Deric gently let the buyer down easy (we hope). Catch the episode and let us know what you think!
