Andrew Jones Auctions’ Oct. 21 and Nov. 18 auctions offered fine art and design, as well as luxe decor and unique finds, enticing bidders to action.
LOS ANGELES – Andrew Jones Auctions’ Oct. 21 sustainable living and budget friendly DTLA Collections and Estates auction drew a diverse crowd in the room and online achieving a sell through rate of 95 percent. DTLA Collections and Estates Auctions are Andrew Jones Auctions' venue for selling "fun, quirky and out-of-the-ordinary accessories and furnishings, as well as antiques and luxe decor for the home, garden, loft, gallery or retail space, all at reasonable prices."
The firm's gallery is located at 2221 South Main Street in Los Angeles.
There were some deals and steals to be had, but the sale also achieved impressive prices.
A German Expressionist painting of factory workers by Anton “Toni” Wolter (1879-1929) sold for $1,060 and an Italian School painting of a Venice canal at night realized $2,250.
A prime example of luxe decor: A large suite of Michael Taylor “Montecito” garden furniture more than tripled its estimate and sold for $4,500.
