LITCHFIELD, CONN. — On July 25, Litchfield Auctions conducted its final installment of Seymour Stein’s collection of Deco Design, Advertising & More, presenting almost 400 lots. In this sale, silver won gold with an S. Kirk Repoussé pattern sterling silver tea service and tray for $4,290 ($3/5,000). The service included a teapot, coffee pot, covered sugar bowl, creamer, waste bowl and tea strainer; these weighed .96 ozt, excluding the tray. Each piece was decorated with many different kinds of flowers on their overall surfaces or edges, and the group was in overall very good condition with just a few loose joints and one missing pin. More to follow this service in a later issue.
