'FOREVER PIECE'

                                         Christie's Auction Celebrates 500 years of Decorative Arts
                                                                               on April 15th, 2011


Queenie loves auctions and catalogues......the easiest method to learn about art, antiques, markets. Auctions are the perfect venue to roam for the special 'forever piece'. Included in this extensive sale is a technically sophisticated and signed 'John Miller Bedford' regulator-clock with the Zodiac calendar, an immensely humourous reclining 'Punch' bowl and an elegantly crafted center table with the scrolling acanthus and relief cast plaque. Anyone of these pieces can move easily from city apartment to surburban home, from traditional to restrained contemporary to be the 'forever piece'.

Look up Christie's catalogue #2435.

Lot 485 William IV Mahogany Longcase Regulator with Year Calendar Circa 1830
Lot 253 George Jones Majolica Yellow-Ground "Punch" Bowl Circa 1874
Lot 134 French Ormolu-Mounted Amaranth and Sycamore Center Table Circa 1875
