Keno Auctions sets records for furniture, effigy ladle

It became the most profitable one-day sale in the young auction house’s history. The Distinguished Americana sale fetched remarkable prices for top banana lots with 80 percent sold by lot and totaling $2,626,000. New world auction records were established for a 17th-century joined box and a Federal painted table, which led the sale.

The afternoon term was dedicated to the landmark auction of property from the iconic assemblage of Peter Brams. The single owner sale was a glorification to the discerning eye of this celebrated inveterate collector, with 81 percent sold by lot totaling $889,900 and saw a domain record set for a Native American effigy ladle.

The top lot of the Americana mark-down was the exceptional 17th-century Drake Family carved and painted joined coffer with drawer (Lot 75) which realized $632,400, setting a elated auction record for a 17th-century joined chest. The strongbox, originally owned by John and Hannah Drake, was passed down through succeeding generations of their family directly to the consignors. With its extensive carved covering, oak lid and triple paneled sides, it is the most elaborate and fully developed Connecticut River Valley three-panel trunk known. It has survived in remarkable condition, retaining its autochthonous surface and most of its original painted red and blue decoration.
