DALLAS – Leaded glass and bronze Tiffany lamps led the total sales in Heritage Auctions’ Nov. 15 auction that totaled $1,295,427. Tiffany lamps claimed six of the top 10 spots in the auction. “This was the next in a series of very strong auctions in this category,” Heritage Auctions Vice President of Special Collections Nick Dawes said. “The sell-through rate of over 97 percent underscores the quality of the lots in this sale, and casts a spotlight on the knowledge of the collectors.” Six collectors made bids for a Tiffany Studios leaded glass and bronze Peony table lamp until it exceeded pre-auction estimates when it closed at $93,750. The lamp had first appeared on the auction market more than 40 years ago and was discovered in a Pennsylvania estate. Nearly a dozen collectors pursued Tiffany Studios leaded glass and bronze Red Poppy table lamp until it finished at $81,250, more than twice the low pre-auction estimate.
