GENESEO, N.Y. — Cottone Auctions’ March 27 Fine Art & Antiques sale featured the estate of Sidonie Triepel William (Buffalo, N.Y.) as well as various other offerings of Tiffany lamps and accessories, ceramics, paintings, decorative arts, Chinese and Japanese art, estate silver, European and American clocks and timepieces, American furniture and a collection of Native American art and artifacts. A Chinese white jade statuette of the bodhisattva of mercy and compassion, Guanyin, from the Qianlong period (1735-1796) sat at the highest price, earning $138,000, including buyer’s premium, against its $8/12,000 estimate. The seated figure was in “hieratic posture” and held a rosary and a pearl in each of her hands, according to catalog notes. The statuette had provenance to an October 1943 Sotheby’s New York sale, the collection of John F. Triepel (1899-1985) and the William estate. Additional highlights from this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
