A highlight of the auction includes unique pieces from New Hope, Pennsylvania craftsman Gino Russo. A hand-crafted dining table with a glass top on a sculpted base, accompanied by high ladderback chairs with rope seats, demonstrates Russo's skill in blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. A custom-made sideboard and hutch, signed and dated by Russo, offers insight into his personal design philosophy. The auction also offers a Charles and Ray Eames lounge chair and ottoman for Herman Miller, featuring molded rosewood shells and black leather upholstery. This classic piece, dating from the 1960s, exemplifies the Eames' innovative approach to comfort and style.
