NEW YORK CITY — On June 18, Doyle Auction House conducted its sale of the collection of Stephen Sondheim, which totaled more than $1.5 million. What the auction house called a “landmark sale” also sold all 454 lots offered. Leading the day was a Fabergé enameled silver-gilt and wood covered box in the form of a billiards table, which soared past its estimate of $12/18,000 to achieve an impressive $70,350. The Fabergé box was designed by workmaster Karl Armfelt in St Petersburg, Russia, between 1908 and 1917. The hinged top of the box was enameled to simulate green baize and contained three enameled balls and opened to reveal a silver-lined compartment. The 2-inch-high, 4¾-inch-wide box rested on six turned legs. It was previously exhibited at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York City from April 22 to May 21, 1983, and appeared in literature accompanying the exhibition. A review covering additional highlights of this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
