DENNIS, MASS. — Eldred’s Fall Sale, November 17-18, included decoys, historical documents, American furniture, Chinese export porcelains and early firearms but it was three paintings by Twentieth Century Vietnamese artists that earned top-lot honors. Opening the November 18 auction, the three set the pace for the sale. The first two had been painted by Vu Cao Dam (1908-2000). One, titled “Figures with a Horse,” sold for $68,750. The other, “Mother and child,” sold for $43,750. The third painting, this time by Le Pho (1907-2001), “Mother and child,” which had a lemon-yellow background, tied with Vu’s “Figures with a Horse,” selling for $68,750. A full set of 25 miniature songbirds carved by Elmer Crowell flew to $31,250, the top price in the November 17 session. Eldred Wheeler furniture prices were strong, and a Samuel Robb cigar store Indian brought $25,000. Prices quoted include the buyer’s premium as reported by the auction house. A future issue will feature a more extensive auction review.
