Press Release

Brooklyn, NY, USA, October 2, 2025 -- SJ Auctioneers’ online-only Estate Silverware, Jewelry, Décor, Glass & Toys auction set for Sunday, October 26th, starting promptly at 6pm Eastern time, is packed with 278 lots of sterling flatware (including a large Audubon service from Tiffany), a high sterling silver collection of pieces by Buccellati, estate jewelry items, a nice scarf collection, and more.

“With the holidays fast approaching, people looking for gift-giving ideas need to look no further than this auction,” said Erica Anderson of SJ Auctioneers. “We spent a good bit of the summer months bringing in wonderful new consignments, mostly pulled from prominent estates and collections in the tri-state area, and now these fine items are all waiting to go to new homes.”

The Buccellati will be led by a sterling silver 925 three-tier geranium leaves centerpiece with the original box. Buccellati reinterprets and reinvents particular forms and uses, thanks to the unparalleled expertise and experience of its master silversmiths, all Italian. In this case, a large 3-floor table centerpiece made of gerano leaves was created. Estimate: $32,000-$35,000.

Other Buccellati lots include a large sterling silver 925 gardenia centerpiece with the original box, never used, inspired by nature and weighing 94 ounces (estimate: $18,000-$20,000); and a sterling silver 925 grapevine centerpiece bowl with the original box, a cluster of grapes with leaves, stem and tendrils applied with a plaque underneath leaves (estimate: $4,500-$5,000).

Spectacular sterling silver flatware service sets have become a staple at SJ Auctioneers sales, and this one is no exception. A few noteworthy examples are as follows:

- A 141-piece Tiffany & Co. sterling silver flatware set in the Audubon pattern showing little if any previous use, contained in two wooden chests (estimate: $30,000-$35,000).

- A 96-piece Georg Jensen sterling silver flatware service set for 12 in the Parallel pattern. A box is shown online for display purposes only (estimate: $13,900-$15,000).

- A 150-piece Tiffany & Co. sterling silver size flatware service set for 12 in the Faneuil pattern. The set includes a storage case (estimate: $12,800-$14,000).

There are many nice individual sterling silver pieces to consider as well. Chief among them is a stunning circa 1907 William Comyns Sons sterling silver 925 and crystal wheelbarrow, 42 cm long (estimate: $12,000-$15,000); and a circa 1771 sterling silver samovar (highly decorated tea urn), made in London and weighing 86 ounces (estimate: $6,000-$7,500).
