Louis XV style tulipwood and burl Bonheur du jour

More than 200 visitors went online to view Dallas Auction Gallery\'s Aug. 29 catalog
listing for a Louis XV-style tulipwood and burl bonheur du jour. With a rectangular
ormolu gallery top and vernis Martin paneled door signed Baston, it featured a
slide-out writing surface above three frieze drawers. This gorgeous furnishing from
the estate of Mrs. W.A. \"Betty\" Criswell had been estimated at $6,000-$9,000, but
after 22 bids, it hammered $17,150 online.


Chippendale Birch-cased Tall Clock

Online buyers scoured Skinner\'s August Discovery Auction catalog for \"timely\" buys
and turned up some true American treasures. One of the sale\'s standouts was a
Chippendale birch-case 8-day model, 89 inches tall, with a painted iron dial signed
Paul Rogers, Berwick (Maine). The lot sold to a LiveAuctioneers bidder for
$11,637.50 against an estimate of $2,500-$3,500.

Pale Green Jade Bowl

At Tom Harris\' Aug. 25 sale of antiques and Orientalia, 210 visitors viewed this lot
in the LiveAuctioneers.com electronic catalog. The pale green jade bowl with three
dragon-like creatures gripping the rim measured a mere 2 inches tall, but it
exceeded its $100-$300 estimate by attracting 14 bids and ultimately went for
$4,800.


French style fruit wood sofa

On Aug. 4, Northgate Galleries auctioned this French style fruit wood sofa on
cabriole legs with scroll carved feet covered in quilted silk fabric. The lot

through LiveAuctioneers for $46,360.
