The fine custom designer furnishings, all in pristine condition from local estates, will feature Dennis and Lean tables, Brunschwig & Fils furniture, Rose Tarlow, Minton Spidell, Patina Italia, Vladimir Kagan and others, all highly collectible.

The group of pieces by Piero Fornasetti (Milan, Italy, 1913-1988), pulled from assorted private collections, begins with lot #1, a pair of “Tema e Variazioni” covered vases, each baluster form tapering toward the base and each decorated with a variation based on the Italian opera singer Lina Cavalieri’s face (est. $800-$1,200). The vases, 12 inches tall, are stamped and numbered.
