EVANSDALE, IOWA — Things truly were exceptional in Iowa Estate Auctions’ Exceptional Spring Antique Auction, where only four lots were passed out of the 301 that crossed the block, earning the auction a sell-through rate of just under 99 percent. Items on offer in the live, in-house gallery sale included antiques, furnishings and decorative art from a Midwest picker and an Iowa collector. A Tiffany Favrile Calyx glass in the form of an opalescent footed lily was the top lot, blooming to $1,560, including buyer’s premium. The art glass piece was made circa 1890s and was inscribed “L.C.T.” Additional lots from this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
