STAMFORD, CONN. — An Eighteenth Century French variegated marble-top center table, a bronze statue of a panther by Anna Vaughan Hyatt Huntington (American, 1876-1973), and a watercolor on paper depicting boys on a pier by Reginald Marsh (American, 1898-1954) are a few expected top lots in ACES Gallery’s spring estates auction set for Sunday, April 27.

The auction, beginning promptly at 1 pm, features more than 500 lots, including fine art, jewelry, collectibles, a single-owner collection of clocks, plus more than 50 items from the collection of Susie Hilfiger (Greenwich, Conn.) and items descended through the family of a New York City auctioneer, circa 1930s. Additional material from more than 50 local estates will also be offered.

These will include fine art by names such as Benjamin Constant and Nicola Simbari; dozens of bronzes (including Erté); antique and contemporary furniture (Regency, American, William Hinn, Stephen Swift and others); silver, gold and gemstone jewelry items; sterling flatware services; rugs and carpets; decorative arts; portrait miniatures; and much more.

The auction will be conducted in the Stamford gallery, with an in-person preview, plus phone and absentee bidding, as well as online bidding on three platforms (LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable and Drouot). The auction will be online-only, no in-person bidding.

The Eighteenth Century French Neoclassical center table is in two pieces and has an impressive, round, three-inch-thick variegated marble top, 50¾ inches in diameter, weighing more than 600 pounds, with an ogee beveled edge, supported by a carved gilt and painted conforming frame raised on eight straight tapering legs decorated with acanthus leaves and gilt scrolls ($5/10,000).
