An oil on canvas figural rendering by French artist Jean Jacques Henner (1829-1905) sold for $27,225 and a pair of French mid-20th century bronze chinoiserie elephant table lamps lit up the room for $7,260 in back-to-back auctions held September 12th and 13th by Ahlers & Ogletree, online and live in the Atlanta gallery located at 1788 Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard NW.

The Henner painting was the top lot at the September 13th Fine Estates Auction, one that featured an assortment of unique antiques, including fine silver and crystal, period furniture, hand-woven tapestries and carpets, and a collection of fine and decorative arts from the collection of Diana McCluskey.

The Henner painting – titled The Distraught Woman (or Weeping Magdalene) was a haunting mid-19th century depiction of a kneeling redhead, her head buried in her hands in a pose of obvious sadness or distress. The work measured 13 ¾ inches by 10 ¾ inches (canvas, minus frame) and was artist signed. It easily blew through the $2,000-$4,000 pre-sale estimate and had a Christie’s paper label on verso.

The pair of French mid-20th century ...
... bronze chinoiserie elephant table lamps were the top achiever in the sale the day prior, on September 12th, which presented 389 lots from the estate of Gregory Crawford of Atlanta. The curated collection featured exquisite 19th century furniture, elegant silver pieces and stunning Chinese Export items. The auction was dedicated entirely to the Crawford estate.
