WOODY AUCTION WILL GREET AUTUMN WITH AN AMERICAN BRILLIANT CUT GLASS AUCTION ON SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, ONLINE AND LIVE IN DOUGLASS, KS
One of the highlights of the sale is its unique connection to the legendary American entertainer Liberace. Offered will be a stunning pair of 5-light ABCG candelabra known as “The Liberace"
DOUGLASS, Kan. – Fans of American Brilliant Cut Glass (ABCG) need to mark their calendars for Saturday, September 19, beginning at 9:30 am Central Time. That’s when Woody Auction will burst into autumn with a fun sale featuring nearly 300 lots, each offered without reserve. The auction will be held online and live in the Woody auction hall at 130 East 3rd Street in Douglass.
One of the highlights of this auction event is its unique connection to the legendary American pianist, singer, actor, and flamboyant entertainer Liberace, famed for blending classical technique with pop appeal. Keen observers will discover a stunning pair of candelabra that are identical in form to a single candelabrum that was sold during the renowned 1988 Liberace Estate Auction.
“As always, we invite everyone to experience the excitement of auction day by joining us in person,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. “This is an event that gives every bidder an equal opportunity to take home remarkable treasures. Even if you can't attend, you can bid live from anywhere through our online bidding platform at bid.woodyauction.com. But try to be there.”
The magnificent American Brilliant Cut Glass pair of five-light candelabra – known as “The Liberace" – measures 20 inches by 14 inches by 14 inches and features a well-cut hobstar and swirled prism motif, plus elegant silver plate fittings marked Meriden #3270, and ten spring-loaded candle holders with reticulated silverplate shades. The estimate is $2,500-$5,000.
Liberace owned many pieces of American Brilliant Cut Glass, but his finest example was a similar single candelabra in this exact form, as shown on page 63 of the 1988 Liberace Collection Auction catalog, which is included in the sale. This truly great set, weighing 32.2 pounds, is from the collection of Mitchell Caughman of Colorado, a dedicated ABCG collector.
Another outstanding lot is the three-part ABCG vase in the Empress pattern by Quaker City, 28 ¾ inches tall, a nearly flawless example boasting great size and cutting, with excellent blank.
