Carstens Galleries to sell antiques, ivory, jade, art Jan. 26

Other offerings among the over 470 lots in the first auction of Carstens Galleries in 2013, include two white marble scultures by C. Lapini, a Florence sculptor of the 19th century. Also featured, are extensive collections of old pocket watches and original Limoges hand-painted miniatures, along with Meissen- style figures and vases, Dresden vases and Tiffany-style lamps, Capo-di-Monte vases and Murano small decorations and chandeliers.

Lot 1175 is a unique and authentic mammoth tusk carved by a Chinese master with about 70 individual figures of the young celebrating the company of the elders. Also, some stunning lots in jadeite jade will be represented in lots 1418 to 1422.

As usual, Carstens Galleries as a service to its bidders, specifies in its catalogs the estimated shipping cost of almost all its lots, and for very heavy or large items, requests information about possible destination of a lot to provide the buyer with correct information and coordination of shipping by Carstens Galleries.
