Gray's Auctioneers will cap off 2019 with a Fine Art, Furniture & Decorative Art auction, Dec. 11th

CLEVELAND - EntSun -- Gray's Auctioneers will finish the year in style with a Fine Art, Furniture and Decorative Art auction on Wednesday, December 11^th, online and in the Cleveland gallery located at 10717 Detroit Avenue, starting promptly at 11 am Eastern time. Offered will be treasures from fine estates across northeast Ohio, as well as a gorgeous collection of Persian rugs, runners and carpets.

Fine art will be offered in abundance, starting with lots 1 and 2, a pair of oil on board paintings by Harold Newton, a founder of the legendary Florida Highwaymen group of artists. Both paintings depict a beach by moonlight, gently lapping waves and palm trees rustling in the warm evening breezes.  The glow of the moon appears to be peeking out from under the frame, a masterful, elegant trick of the eye. Both paintings carry estimates of $3,000-$5,000.

Lots 9 and 10 are beautifully rendered oil on canvas domestic scenes with figures that appear to have been painted by the same Old Master artist, in the style of the Dutch or Antwerp Old Masters from the 17^th or 18^th century. Both are unsigned and each one measures 28 ½ inches by 16 ¾ inches. They have been assigned reasonable pre-sale estimates of $5,000-$7,000 each.
