Douglass, KS, USA, February 15, 2023 -- An outstanding Tiffany Studios (N.Y.) table lamp with a leaded glass Nasturtium shade is the expected headliner in the sale of Part 2 of the Ron Blessing collection – an incredible accumulation of quality Victorian antiques, French cameo art glass, period American furniture and other items – on Saturday, March 18th by Woody Auction, online and live in the Douglass auction hall.

The original six-socket electrified lamp is in excellent overall condition and has a telescoping base that extends to 44 inches in total height. The beautiful, 32-inch Nasturtium shade has numerous yellow and orange blossoms with green slag foliage background and an amethyst and white ribbon border. Both base and shade are signed “Tiffany Studios”. The lamp carries a pre-sale estimate of $60,000-$80,000.

Part 1 of the collection was held in October of last year and was a huge success. A gorgeous pair of early 20th century signed Galle French cameo art glass pieces, one a lamp and the other a vase, sold for a combined $133,750 to headline the event. This final auction will begin at 9:30 am Central time, with online bidding via LiveAuctioneers.com. The auction hall is located at 130 East Third Street in Douglass.

“Ron Blessing’s magnificent antiques needed to be properly displayed, so he began collecting only the finest furniture,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. “Part 2 features R.J. Horner, A.J. Johnson and Alexander Roux pieces of the utmost quality. We feel honored to present one of the finest collections of Victorian antiques to be found anywhere. Every lot will be sold to the highest bidder without reserve.”
