With private collectors acquiring nearly $2million worth of significant New Zealand works, Webb’s first major sale for 2013 was one of the highest-grossing, mixed-vendor auctions held in the New Zealand market for a decade.

MODERN DESIGN
CONSIGN NOW OCTOBER 2013
April 2013 Highlights The American mid-20th century designs in the recent auction ‘Come Fly With Me’, a Webb’s collaboration with Mr. Bigglesworthy, were keenly sought by collectors. The event was set within a market largely occupied by Danish design and collectors were enthusiastic about the American pieces on offer. This resulted in the sale being one of the most successful ever held in this category.
Contact Josh Willaims E: jwilliams@webbs.co.nz P: 09 524 6804
With a sell-through rate by value of 85%, and sold pieces exceeding their low estimates by 128%, the sale generated strong competition by those seeking to acquire iconic designs rarely seen on the New Zealand market. Where in the past the market has responded most strongly to utilitarian furniture designs, this sale was counter trend and most of the focus was on statement design pieces, lighting and accessories. Consignments are now invited for the next auction of Modern Design to be held in October. Contact Josh Williams for specialist advice regarding international and local collecting trends and assessment of value for collectable modern furniture and accessories.
An Eames 670/671 Lounger and Ottoman by Herman Miller The model 670 Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Charles and Ray Eames is one of the most recognisable chair designs of the 20th century. From its prized spot in museums like the MoMA to stylish interiors throughout the world, it embodies the modern design ethic of perfectly executed form and function. The chair was conceived as a modern take on the classic club armchair and Charles’ vision was for a chair with "the warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt." What emerged was a design breakthrough that balanced comfort with a sleek, stripped-back aesthetic of luxury and elegance: a design that looks as fresh today as it did on the day it was conceived. Achieved $7,600 A BMF Nagel Modular Candelabra The Nagel candelabra is a great example of how designers were looking to push the boundaries in all areas of interior design, including lighting. The basic form of the candelabra is centuries old; however, the West German design duo of Ceasar Stoff and Fritz Nagel were looking to the future as an inspiration for this functional modular lighting system. Using modern materials and a space-age design aesthetic, the pair were able to come up with a perfectly weighted and balanced light that will conform to almost any configuration. Demand for the candelabra was high as it is a perfect complement to mid-century modern furniture and also features the rare and sought-after tripod base. Achieved $2,900
A Pair of Charles Pollock 657 Sling Chairs by Knoll The Sling Chair with its tubular steel frame and thick leather sling is a bold statement in modern design and has since become a coveted design classic. Charles Pollock was always destined for greatness. After graduating from New York's prestigious Pratt Institute in the early 1950s, Pollock stepped out on his own, opening a small studio above a drugstore in Brooklyn. It was there that Pollock created his first product for Knoll, the Model 657 Sling Chair. Achieved $6,600 8
A Curtis Jere Flying Birds Sculpture Eight streamlined birds fold in a symphony of flight. Cut and welded in solid brass, this striking piece exemplifies the organic shapes and graphic simplicity found in wall sculptures by Curtis Jere for Artesian House. Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels created the nom de plume Curtis Jere to market their vivid mid-century sculptures. They designed and made large-scale metal art, which retailed through high-end studios like Raymor in New York City. Achieved $3,900
A Pair of Eames Soft Pad Management Chairs by Herman Miller These Management Chairs have become a design classic, inseparable from the design-conscious home or office. Spurred on by the material challenge of aluminium, Charles and Ray Eames designed the Aluminium Group Chairs in 1958. Eleven years later they added soft leather pad upholstery to the design, for added comfort. The chairs gained popularity through the technical achievement of the seat-back suspension. Soft leather pads are suspended between the curved aluminium frame creating a coveted design classic. Achieved $5,900
A Peter Protzman Executive Desk by Herman Miller The intricate grain and striking contrast of the zebrawood against the chrome perfectly defines the glamorous high-tech direction of modern design during the 1970s. In production for only two years (1970 and 1971), the mirrored chrome and exotic zebrawood desk by Peter Protzman is a very rare find. This elegant desk of grand proportions features an intensely vivid grain pattern, two deep, smoked Lucite drawers and a sleek, pull-out tray. Achieved $7,000
An Adrian Pearsall 2408-S Sofa by Craft Associates With sharp angles and organic curves, this grand, low-line sofa by Adrian Pearsall expresses the optimism and imagination of mid-century design in America. Pearsall is a master of free-form organic modernism. His passion for cleanlined, highly sculptural design is showcased in the unique and beautiful furniture he produced for his company, Craft Associates, during the mid-20th century. Achieved $4,500 IN FOCUS 9

FINE JEWELLERY
Independent Gemmological Reports and Valuations: Valuations are made available to customers for two primary purposes: Firstly to provide an independent opinion as to the quality of the stones and metals comprising the piece, and Secondly so that buyers can, if they wish, obtain suitable Insurance cover immediately upon purchase and prior to delivery. A valuation for insurance purposes represents a calculated replacement cost allowing for maximum retail margins, such that an Insurer can assess the outer limit of their exposure to risk. It does not represent actual new retail replacement as it makes no provision for competitive trade practice, or for discounts obtained by individual bargaining. As fashion, desirability and current market forces all have variable impact on second hand or Auction value, there is no direct formula for estimation of such value by interpolation from Insurable value. As the currency exchange rate and spot metal prices have a marked effect on jewellery valuations, buyers should note the date and prevailing economic factors at the time that the valuation was produced. Once all of the prevailing parameters have been established, it is possible for an experienced person to interpolate a rough estimate of the current cost of manufacture from past insurable value, but again that exercise will give no indication of actual market forces. Buyers should also note the stated purpose of the valuation (insurance, retail market, cash value, estate division etc). All valuations remain opinions and not matters of fact. Whilst Webb’s staff will assist buyers to understand the methodology and technical details of Gemmological reports and valuations, buyers must make their own assessment of an item’s value before bidding.

If this is not done Webb’s will not be responsible if the lot is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. Any items not collected within seven days of the auction may be subject to a storage and insurance fee. A receipted invoice must be produced prior to removal of any lot. 9. Licences. Buyers who purchase an item which falls within the provisions of the Protected Objects Act 1975 or the Arms Act 1958 cannot take possession of that item until they have shown to Webb’s a license under the appropriate Act. 10.

at the same or any other auction. C. To resell the lot by public or private sale. Any deficiency resulting from such resale, after giving credit to the purchaser for any part payment, together with all costs incurred in connection with the lot shall be paid to Webb’s by the purchaser. Any surplus over the proceeds of sale shall belong to the seller and in this condition the expression ‘proceeds of sale’ shall have the same meaning in relation to a sale by private treaty as it has in relation to a sale by auction. D. To store the lot whether at Webb’s own premises or elsewhere at the sole expense of the purchaser and to release the lot only after the purchase price has been paid in full plus the accrued cost of removal storage and all other costs connected to the lot. E.

F. To retain possession of that or any other lot purchased by the purchaser at that or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of money due. G. To apply the proceeds of sale of any lot then or subsequently due to the purchaser towards settlement of money due to Webb’s or its vendor. Webb’s shall be entitled to a possessory lien on any property of the purchaser for any purpose while any monies remain unpaid under this contract. H. To apply any payment made by the purchaser to Webb’s towards any money owing to Webb’s in respect of any thing whatsoever irrespective of any directive given in respect of, or restriction placed upon, such payment by the purchaser whether expressed or implied. I. Title and right of disposal of the goods shall not pass to the purchaser until payment has been made in full by cleared funds. Where any lot purchased is held by Webb’s pending i. clearance of funds by the purchaser or ii. completion of payment after receipt of a deposit, the lot will be held by Webb’s as bailee for the vendor, risk and title passing to the purchaser immediately upon notification of clearance of funds or upon completion of purchase. In the event that a lot is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed before title is transferred to the purchaser, the purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of all monies paid to Webb’s in respect of that lot, but shall not be entitled to any compensation for any consequent losses howsoever arising. 11. Bidders deemed Principals. All bidders shall be held personally and solely liable for all obligations arising from any bid, including both ‘telephone’ and ‘absentee’ bids. Any person wishing to bid as agent for a third party must obtain written authority to do so from Webb’s prior to bidding. 12. ‘Subject Bids’. Where the highest bid is below the reserve and the auctioneer declares a sale to be ‘subject to vendor’s consent’ or words to that effect, the highest bid remains binding upon the bidder until the vendor accepts or rejects it. If the bid is accepted there is a contractual obligation upon the bidder to pay for the lot. 13. SALES POST AUCTION OR BY PRIVATE TREATY. The above conditions shall apply to all buyers of goods from Webb’s irrespective of the circumstances under which the sale is negotiated. 14. condition of Items.
