Tiffany, Pairpoint, Duffner & Kimberly, Steuben and

NC, comprised of fine New
England period furniture and antiques, also contents from Sherwood,
a historical mansion in Flat
Rock, NC including a palace size antique Farahan-Sarouk carpet
measuring 14’ X 25’6”. Mr. Hatch
states that this auction has the finest antique oriental rugs he has
ever offered, including Heriz,
Hamadan, silk Sumac Kazak and many more.
Early Meissen figurines will be sure to please
any collector or dealer highlighted by a set of the
“Four Seasons”. Other porcelain includes Sevres, Old Paris, Herend,
Limoges, paintings on porcelains,
KPM plaques, Lenox, Wedgwood and more. The glassware selection
includes Tiffany Favrile, Steuben, Baccarat, Lalique, Loetz, Moser,

The assortment of sterling silver and
silverplate gives a clue to how the wealthy entertain, from
sets of flatware to candelabra, trays to wine trolleys, Tiffany to
Georg Jensen. Not to be outdone, the
jewelry is breathtaking. From a vintage platinum necklace with diamonds
that total 50 carats, to an
Emerald and Diamond necklace and earrings that total 70 carats!
Diamond and gemstone rings,
bracelets and earrings to watches that include Rolex, this sale has
it.
Fine artwork covers every inch of the galleries
walls and include oils by Andre Gisson, Robert H.

Hayden, C. Soer, Charles J. Burdick, Old Masters, portraits,
collection of Surrealism by Helmut Preiss and more. Etchings include

Bonnard, Louis Icart and for the Charleston SC collectors Alfred
Hutty! Bronzes range from 19th
century to Erte’.
A nice group of pottery will be offered including
Southern pottery, Roseville, Rookwood, Weller
even a couple of Picasso pieces. Samplers, quilts, coins, primitives
and tons of other items will
round out the sale.
This auction truly seems to have something for
everyone. When Mr. Hatch was asked if this
was a good time to sell such fabulous items, his comment was “Even
during the Great Depression,
people bought fine and beautiful items, they always represent an
investment in culture, in history, something that can be passed down
generation to generation being enjoyed like no other investment”
“ I feel it is a great time to buy, individuals and collectors can get so
much more for their money then
just a few years ago” “If they were chased out of the market years
ago by high prices, now is the time to rediscover their passion.
Antiques offer so much more than today’s “disposable” furniture and
accessories”

Tiffany Mixed Metals Salt & Pepper
Shakers Bring $4000.00 at Hatch Auction
The Two Day Antique Auction September 25
& 26, in Flat Rock, NC had over 1400 lots, grossing
over $250,000.00, it really had something for everyone. The event had over
329 registered
bidders, 208 in-house and another 340 on LiveAuctioneers.com.
Absentee and phone
bidding participation was also strong.
Mr. Hatch noted with the change of Ebay
no longer doing “EbayLive” since the first of the year, on-line bidding sign
up numbers have dropped about 70%, but those that do sign up thru
LiveAuctioneers.com seem to be even more serious bidders. Out of the 340 who
signed up through the online firm, 121 were successful. 21% of the
auction sold
on-line.
The sale included lots of artwork with
an oil by William E. Harris selling at $1300.00, while a pencil
signed Leroy Nieman lithograph brought only $200.00. Furniture remains at
bargain prices with a
Period Chippendale Slant Front Desk selling at $800.00, a Period Chippendale
mirror at $350.00,
set of 8 original Hitchcock chairs at $700.00, a North Carolina pine
cupboard sold at $800.00, a back bar from a local barbershop circa 1915 sold
at $600.00 and a mid-century dining set by Heywood
Wakefield sold at a low price of $450.00. The gallery was loaded with fine
china and glassware
with china sets selling from $110.00 for a 67 piece Bavarian set to $750.00
for a 54 piece set of
Lenox “Autumn” pattern. A large collection of Victorian art glass syrup
pitchers seemed to delight
the crowd, and ranged from $50.00 up to $450.00 An unusual 19th
century Meissen covered biscuit
box sold at $800.00. A bronze statue of a dog by 19th century
French artist F. Barbedienne seemed a
buy at only $600.00.
The gallery also gleamed with lots of
fine silver, with many sets of sterling flatware including 94
pieces of “Chantilly” by Gorham bringing $1750.00, 60 pcs. of Gorham “King
Edward” brought
$850.00, 79 pcs. of Stieff “Rose” at $1500.00, 81 pcs. of “Burgundy” by Reed
& Barton sold for
$2750.00, 63 pcs. of Gorham “Buttercup” brought $1000.00, while 63 pcs. of
“Strasbourg” by
the same maker sold at $1600.00.
The jewelry cases were also loaded to
the brim this sale, highlighted by a Cartier Mans “Santos”
wristwatch, which though appraised at $6750.00, brought a reasonable
$1100.00, and a Cartier
diamond dress clip sold at $500.00. A stunning star ruby and diamond pendant
sold at $2000.00
and a dazzling Deco diamond bar pin brought $2750.00.
One of the surprising lots in the sale
was a lot of two old violins from a local estate, though
estimated at $200 to $400.00, the pair sang out to a delighted bidder for
$3100.00.
Another interesting lot was an original
silver gelatin print photographer by famous photographer Lawrence Schiller
of Marilyn Monroe, nude, taken during filming of her lasted film and
presented
to fellow photographer Tom Nebbia. It seemed a real deal at $600.00.
Mr. Hatch commented “that though
attendance is strong, prices on mid-level antiques, furniture and
collectible items remain low. Mr. Hatch was quoted as saying “If you loved
the piece when it was
selling at $500.00, you should still love it and be bidding on it when it is
now $250.00”, noting that
a lot of items are about half of what he was selling them for a couple years
ago. “Now is the time
to add to your collection, start a collection, or simply decorate your
homes”.
Celebrating his 30th year
in the auction business, Mr. Hatch sees a steady flow of items coming
into the gallery. “The real challenge in today’s market is to find buyers to
absorb all the merchandise
at prices that are fair to the sellers and buyers alike. “A lot of
merchandise comes from past customers
from 20 or 30 years ago that are now downsizing or “passing on to glory”,
reminding us that we are all “temporary caretakers” Mr. Hatch is constantly
marketing his auctions in various ways to help attract
new bidders, whether through appraisal fairs, lectures, courses, etc., he
strives to help boost interest
in the field. “At this point in time, we that are seriously involved in the
antique business must do all
we can to educate and help promote an industry which has slowed down
drastically” He also
reminded us ‘The joy of collecting is still there, and now with prices down
we should be attracting
a new group of buyers”.
One thing is for certain, Hatch Auctions
has delighted buyers for over 30 years, and will continue to
do so with the next auction scheduled November 20th and 21st,
the Annual Asian & Oriental Auction
at the gallery in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
The auction is over, and it was a great
success.
Attendance was excellent, both at the auction
house and online through Live Auctioneers,
thank you very much for your interest and support.
