Nye & Company Auctioneers / July 20, 2022

Nye & Company Auctioneers will kick off their hot summer Chic and Antique Estate Treasures Auction on Wednesday, July 20th, with designer and English furniture and fine and decorative art. Bidding will begin promptly at 10 am Eastern time. The cleaning out of a packed house and yard led to the remarkable discovery of not one, but two William F. Mangels silhouette shooting gallery targets. The example tentatively titled Shorty or The Draw is a known form that rarely comes to auction. The other, The Stick Up, is thought to be a previously unknown example of Mangels’ ability and incorporates steam pipes on verso to simulate the smoke of a gunshot when the target is struck. Real time internet bidding and absentee bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Bidsquare.com, as well as the Nye & Company Auctioneers website:  www.nyeandcompany.com. Telephone bidding will also be available on a limited basis. Starting July 11th, the galleries will reopen for preview following Nye’s summer hiatus. The public is encouraged to visit and see the pieces in person. During the online preview, from June 28th thru July 20th, people can bid online or in absentia. Anyone looking for additional images, condition reports or info about an object can visit the Nye & Company website or send an email inquiry to info@nyeandcompany.com.
