Here’s a sneak peek:

Three smooth, off-white ceramic vases with asymmetrical, organic forms are shown on a white background; each vase is slightly larger and more upwardly curved from left to right, creating a sense of progression or growth in their elegant, sculptural shapes. Reminiscent of notable pieces featured at the 2020 San Francisco Fall Show and highlighted by InCollect, these vases embody sophisticated modern design.

From Henry Saywell: Vessels by Mitch Pilkington (2020). Mitch creates hand-built sculptural ceramics inspired by the natural forms from her coastal finds, both at home in North Devon and on her travels. Her stoneware vessels hark back to the dry, worn spirals of old conch shells collected on Caribbean beaches.

A tangled pile of clear, flexible tubes with silver snake head-shaped tips arranged on a plain white background. Each tube resembles a snake with metallic heads, and the tubes are intertwined in an abstract, sculptural form reminiscent of contemporary installations featured at the San Francisco Fall Show and highlighted by InCollect in 2020.

From R. Louis Bofferding Fine & Decorative Art: “Nest of snakes” sculpture, circa 1970, by Alessandro Albrizzi (1934-1994). Italian, 20th century, lucite & metal.

A modern lounge chair with a woven rattan seat, metal frame, and an adjustable cylindrical leather headrest. Showcasing a minimalist, ergonomic design with a long, reclined seat and angular legs, the chair was featured at the 2020 San Francisco Fall Show and is highlighted on InCollect. The background is white.

From De Angelis: Poul Kjaerholm PK24 Chaise Lounge, Denmark, 1970s.

Rectangular table with a gold-toned top resembling a tree cross-section, including growth rings and natural patterns. The center has a dark, irregular oval. Originally showcased at the 2020 San Francisco Fall Show and featured on InCollect, it stands on a wide, dark red and gold base. The overall design is modern and artistic.

From Milord Antiques: Rare and important acid etched brass dining table with agate inset by Paco Rabanne. Signed: “Paco Rabanne”. Designed by Paco Rabanne and executed in Belgium in the late 1970s or early 1980s, Belgium, circa 1980.

Gold chandelier with four frosted glass shades arranged in a circle, suspended from a gold rod. Clear crystal pendants hang from the circular frame, reminiscent of the elegant lighting showcased at the 2020 San Francisco Fall Show. The fixture is mounted to a white ceiling in a minimally decorated room, evoking the refined aesthetic often highlighted by InCollect.

From Rayon Roskar: Brass Chandelier, Switzerland, 1940s

Porcelain plate with a scalloped rim, decorated with intricate blue floral patterns. The center features a colorful family crest with a shield, floral motifs, and the word CONFIDO above it. Presented at the 2020 San Francisco Fall Show and highlighted on InCollect, this exquisite piece stands out against its white background.

From Richard Gould Antiques: A Chinese Export Porcelain armorial dinner plate – Arms of Boyd, Earl of Kilmarnoch. Qianlong, circa 1785.

Ornate gold-framed rectangular mirror with decorative floral accents is mounted above a matching semicircular console table with carved gold legs and a marble top featuring green decorative patterns. Exhibited at the 2020 San Francisco Fall Show and featured on InCollect, both pieces have a luxurious, classical design.

From Ronald Phillips Ltd.: A George III giltwood side table with scagliola top from Abington Park, circa 1780, and a George III giltwood pier mirror designed by Robert Adam and attributed to John Linnell, circa 7165.

Two large, ornate stone urns stand side by side. Each urn has vertical grooves, flower details, handles on the sides, and a lid topped with a finial. The urns are weathered, showing gray and tan tones. Displayed indoors on a concrete floor, these impressive pieces were featured in InCollect’s 2020 San Francisco Fall Show.

From Finnegan Gallery: Large pair of 18th century Italian Terra Cotta urns, from the Genoa region of Italy. Circa 1875.

A neoclassical riverside city scene with domed buildings, a tall column, boats on water, several people strolling or resting, dogs playing, and distant mountains—reminiscent of artworks showcased at the San Francisco Fall Show and featured on InCollect—all framed by large leafy trees in the foreground.

From Carolle Thibaut-Pomerantz, “the” specialist in vintage wallpaper: Monuments de Paris

Impressionist-style painting in a gold frame showing two large trees in the foreground, with sunlight filtering through their leaves onto grassy ground, distant hills, and a few small buildings in the background. Signed A.F. Winter in the bottom right corner. Featured at the 2020 San Francisco Fall Show and showcased on InCollect.

From Somerville Manning Gallery: Hazy Afternoon, 1908/1911 by N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945), oil on canvas
