This exceptional multi-estate auction brings together over 500 lots spanning antiques, fine art, decorative arts, historical memorabilia, furniture, collectibles, rugs, silver, pottery, Asian art, and estate treasures from several important collections. The depth and variety of material make this one of the most diverse estate auctions we have presented this year. The centerpiece of the auction is an extremely rare 1904 Olympic Games President Ribbon and Medal, a highly desirable piece of Olympic and World's Fair history from the St. Louis Olympic Games. Collectors of Olympic memorabilia, sports history, World's Fair material, and Americana will recognize the significance of this seldom-seen survivor from one of the most important events in early American sporting history. The auction also features a remarkable life-size Frank Lloyd Wright "Sprite" concrete figure, inspired by the iconic Midway Gardens sculptures associated with Wright's most celebrated architectural designs. This impressive architectural art piece is joined by additional Arts & Crafts and Prairie School material throughout the sale. Furniture collectors will find one of the strongest offerings centered on Mission Oak and Arts & Crafts furniture, including sideboards, bookcases, barrister bookcases, desks, hall trees, smoking cabinets, library tables, writing desks, rockers, and other examples of quarter-sawn oak craftsmanship. The Arts & Crafts category is complemented by pottery, lighting, and decorative accessories from the period. A significant portion of the auction comes from The Collection of Dr. Nicholas Stark Pickard, featuring Asian art, Indian and Himalayan works, Chinese decorative arts, Japanese material, paintings, scrolls, and ethnographic objects assembled over many years. The Pickard Collection adds exceptional depth and scholarly interest to the sale.

Additional Chinese and Asian decorative arts include pottery, carvings, porcelain, lacquerwork, scrolls, and scholar objects.
