J.K. GALLERIES
Boca Raton, FL
May 28, 29 and June 10, 2007

BOCA RATON, FL - J.K. Galleries in Boca Raton, Florida staged a massive three day
1200 lot sale stretched out over May 27, May 28 and June 10. The sale attracted 180
registered bidders in the gallery and 890 registered on LiveAuctioneers.com. Auction
owner Jay Kielstock said before the sale he had assembled probably the best
inventory in the Galleries' history. The results bore him out.

Top lot of the sale was a white gold Chopard Imperial lady's diamond watch with
baguette and round diamonds, f- color, vvs quality, approximately 30.00 cts. The
Chopard line of elegant watches was introduced early in the 20th century by Swiss
watchmaker Louis Ulys Chopard. The watches are considered by many to be the most
stylish in the world. This one styled its way to top lot of the sale bringing the
winning bid of $69,000 including buyer's premium from a local bidder on the floor.
Another fine timepiece, while not quite in the same league as the Chopard, still
kept a spot at the top of the dial. A Patek Phillippe 18KT yellow gold men's
Calatrava Model 5107.1J-001, with 18KT deployment band and thirty jewel signed
movement, with original box and all papers in like new condition, sold in the room
for $23,000.

Three lamps did very well. A Handel Black Parrot lamp, #7023, with 17½in shade
brought $11,500 and another Handel with a shade signed "Handel #5664" made $8,050. A
Pairpoint lamp with a signed shade with ship scenes sold for $4,830.

J.K. Galleries always does well in the art pottery category, especially with
Roseville and this sale was no exception. The top Roseville lot was a Rozane
portrait vase, 21in high, featuring a portrait of a dog in collar. In standard glaze
with large loop handles man's best friend went to a new best friend on the west
coast of Florida for $2,990. The same buyer was the successful bidder for a Rozane
12in vase with a portrait of a horse. It sold for $1,610. Roseville's Futura line
is always a hit at J.K. An eight inch tall Milk Carton vase in tan and bluish green
brought $2,070, a Futura green fan vase, 9in tall in Shape 407, glossy lime green
shading to dark emerald at the base, sold for $1,840 and a Futura balloon vase, 9in
tall with a green body closed at $1,499.

But pottery was not the only pretty show at the sale with glass making a strong
appearance. A Daum Cameo Pillow vase, 7½in flattened ovoid body with textured ground
and mottled interior, featuring an excellent winter landscape scene, sold for $8,625
and a 4½in Daum Nancy cabinet vase with winter scene made $4,830. A Quezal gold Jack
in the Box vase, 13in tall by 7½in diameter at the top, sold online for $6,000 and a
signed D'Argental glass center bowl, 5½in high by 13in diameter, with large wild
roses and leaves on thorny stems, sold for $3,105.

A little Tiffany is always a nice touch and this time it appeared in the form of an
opalescent cabinet vase, 6½in tall, with long neck and flared lemon yellow and opal
rim. It sold for $4,830 as did a Tiffany decorated pulled feather vase with swirled
feathers in blue and greens, 3½in tall by 6in wide, signed "LCT K 1033." A Tiffany
favrile vase, 17in tall, with gold favrile stem, a 5in flared rim and bronze base,
brought $3,795. The fourth work bearing the Tiffany name was 10 by 14in watercolor
of a North African scene bearing the initials L.C.T. in the lower right corner. It
made $6,325 in the room.

The biggest surprise of the three day sale was a trio of cups and saucers. One set
bearing a Dresden mark from the 1890s, estimated at $300/400 sold on the phone for
$1,610 to a bidder in South Carolina. The same bidder won a Royal Vienna cup and
saucer, also estimated at $300/400 for $2,990. But the real surprise was a Royal
Vienna 3in cup and 4in saucer, with Germany marks, gold scrolls and figural bird
handle with a portrait of a beautiful brunette, estimated at $300/400. It brought
the most bids ever at J.K. Galleries ringing up 59. It came down to a phone bidder
in Canada and a bidder online. The online bidder won at $5,280.

One pair of lots produced a poignant surprise for a bidder. The lots were two black
memorabilia prints from 1914 of hands in a cotton field. A prospective bidder,
perusing the LiveAuctioneers.com online catalog was moved to call Kielstock to say
his great grandfather had taken those photos and he had been looking for them for
decades. He won them with an online bid of $120 each.
