SARASOTA, FLA. — Spanning two days, June 7-8, Sarasota Estate Auction conducted the sale of nearly 2,000 lots of Modern art, pottery, jewelry, silver, antiques and fine art. Leading the two-day auction was a pre-1908 Russian Fabergé Imperial guilloche desk clock. Made in Moscow, the triangular clock bore the marks of the Imperial double-headed eagle, “K. Faberge” in Cyrillic script and the kokoshnik mark. The clock was accented by a Louis XIV-style gilt swag above the date and measured 5½ inches high by 5 inches wide at the base. The clock gained substantial interest before the auction began, and Sarasota Estate Auction’s Mia McDermott shared, “Come auction day, we had three phone bidders and multiple bidders online. It ended up selling for a total of $153,600, including buyer’s premium, to one of our phone bidders. We were very happy with the results!” According to the auction catalog, “A friend of the consignor’s great aunt bought the clock at a Fabergé store in Russia over 100 years ago, later it was given to the consignor’s father, and it’s been in the family ever since.” Additional results from the auction will be in an upcoming issue.
