      <title>Collectible Lamps Auction Due to Break Records</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Rare lamp collection and historic antiques from prominent collector up for auction February 2022, Corona Del Mar California.</p><p>Beverly Hills, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/07/2022 --  February 19,  2022 at 10:00 AM pacific time will be the start of the auction for rare and collectible <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Handel lamps" href="https://kings-auctions-inc.liveauctioneers.com/item/120961777_handel-reverse-hand-painted-table-lamp-6210">Handel lamps</a>, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Duffner and Kimberly art glass" href="https://kings-auctions-inc.liveauctioneers.com/item/121545661_duffner-and-kimberly-art-glass-23-table-lamp">Duffner and Kimberly art glass</a>, and other sought after historical pieces. <br />
<br />
All items up for auction come from a prominent Texas collector who curated his collection over 60 years. All items are in mint condition and collectors are already posturing.  The Handel lamps are prized by collectors for their imaginative scenes, excellent craftsmanship, and their unique yet precise technique of reverse painting. One reason Handel lamps are so valuable today is due to the fact that they were expensive when they were originally being produced in the early 20th century in Meriden, CT.  The lamps were marketed directly towards upper-middle class families either through high end department stores or through advertising in popular periodicals.  <br />
<br />
When people think of antique glass shade lamps, they typically think of the iconic Tiffany lamps, but Handel lamps are equally beautiful and have grown in popularity in the antique market in recent years due to their lack of availability.<br />
<br />
Also up for auction will be <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Duffner &amp; Kimberly lamps" href="https://liveauctioneers.com/item/121545661_duffner-and-kimberly-art-glass-23-table-lamp">Duffner &amp; Kimberly lamps</a> where the workmanship of the bronze and quality of glass was on a par with Tiffany&apos;s lamps. The Duffner &amp; Kimberly Company was formed in 1905 and introduced it&apos;s first lamps in 1906. The company&apos;s partnership with designer Oliver Speers Kimberly (1871–1956) and Francis ("Frank") Joseph Duffner (1860–1929), had more than 20 years of experience in the lighting industry at the onset.<br />
<br />
Another piece that will surely be of interest to collectors is the gold <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="James McCable (signed) pocket watch" href="https://kings-auctions-inc.liveauctioneers.com/item/120757322_james-mccabe-18k-pocketwatch-royal-exchange-king-qajar">James McCable (signed) pocket watch</a> from the Royal Exchange. It was once owned by Naser al-Din Shah Qajar and had been in the family ever since. Provence is displayed but not included. The front of this 18k yellow gold watch displays a painted portrait of The Shah who was in rule of Iran, when this timepiece was created in 1868. Inside the portrait bears the initials "JM" for the famous watchmaker James McCabe. Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (16 July 1831 a€" 1 May 1896) was the Shah (King) of Qajar Iran from September 1848 to May 1896 when he was assassinated. He was the son of Mohammad Shah Qajar and Malek Jah&apos;n Kh&apos;nom and the third longest reigning monarch in Iranian history. Estimated value in the range of $50,000.00<br />
<br />
For those interested in modern collectibles, the lot also includes <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="8 Roberto Cavalli dining chairs" href="https://kings-auctions-inc.liveauctioneers.com/item/121545783_roberto-cavalli-8-dining-chairs-neoclassico">8 Roberto Cavalli dining chairs</a> from the designers 2013 Interior Catalog.

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Beverly Hills, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/06/2021 --  Kings Auctions Inc. will be featured in episodes of season nine of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Shipping Wars" href="https://www.aetv.com/shows/shipping-wars">Shipping Wars</a> .

<br />
Shipping Wars and Kings Auctions Inc. create a perfect collaboration with their common trades, that being the delivery of a wide range of rare and unusual items to people across the USA.<br />
<br />
For those who have not yet enjoyed the adventures of Shipping Wars, it features a group of independent truckers making their living hauling all types, often bizarre, cargo. The truckers, often unconventional, transport products the majority of carriers tend to avoid, including movie props, music festival robots, and even live animals.<br />
<br />
Kings Auctions Inc.&apos;s nationwide service and staff will be showcased as well as all the challenges involved in shipping valuables. Kings Auctions Inc. locations highlighted in upcoming episodes include their locations in San Diego California, Orange County California, and Austin Texas.<br />
<br />
In other news <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="California Estate Sales and Auction Company" href="https://californiaestatesales.net/">California Estate Sales and Auction Company</a> has consigned an amazing collection from a prominent Beverly Hills doctor with Kings Auctions Inc to create a magnificent New Years Day auction. Items in the lot come from the estate of a prominent Beverly Hills doctor who was a major collector of art by ERTE.  Much of his collection came directly from Ron Parker, who was responsible for bringing the artist to the world.  <br />
<br />
The ERTE collection will be up for <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="auction" href="https://kings-auctions.com/auction/">auction</a> starting on January 1, 2022 at 10:00 AM Pacific time. Items include  over 20 statues, rare serigraphs, screens, crystal, and more.  Some pieces are personally inscribed to Ron Parker making them even more sought after.<br />
<br />
One special ERTE piece up for bid will be "<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="GRAPES of Flight" href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/117203530_erte-baccarrat-grapes-flight-of-love-crystal-vase">GRAPES of Flight</a>".

Another notable item collectors are looking at include the very rare, 24" <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title=""Springtime" table lamp by Nancy Daum" href="https://kings-auctions-inc.liveauctioneers.com/item/117857501_daum-nancy-19th-cent-glass-table-lamp-springtime">"Springtime" table lamp by Nancy Daum</a>. It is acid etched, wheel carved, and from circa 1890. Only similar pieces can be found at Musse&apos; des beaux art in Nancy, France. Daum&apos;s use of triple layered glass, called case glass, makes it possible to come as closely to the effects of color found in nature in the form of art glass. The piece of course comes with a certificate of authenticity and appraisal.<br />
<br />
In terms of modern art, a special piece by Joan Hernandez Pijuan will be up for bid from the same estate. It is an original oil titled "<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Vertical Amb Copa" href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/117750059_joan-hernandez-pijuan-original-vertical-amb-copa">Vertical Amb Copa</a>" or "Vertical With Cup" and was created in 1968. It is signed and titled on the back and measures an impressive "81 x 116". Pijuan was a Spanish painter known for his simple compositions, neutral colors, and expressive lines.  Born on February 15, 1931 in Barcelona, Spain, he graduated from the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi. The Museo Municipal de MatarA hosted his first solo exhibition in 1955. Today, the artist&apos;s works are held in the collections of the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires, among others. The artist is in good company indeed.<br />
<br />
Also watched by many is a K.P.M. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Porcelain Plaque" href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/118160119_kpm-porecelain-plaque-late-19th-century-scene">Porcelain Plaque</a>. It is a late 19th Century SceneSet in a gilded wooden frame and bears the artist&apos;s name in a metal plaque "O. Schrobel". The scene shows a shocked audience of people watch aghast as a man dressed in purple is presenting three boces and a covered table.
