From Antiques and the Arts Weekly – DETROIT, MICH. — DuMouchelles’ March 14 auction saw 214 lots cross the block, with offerings including studio art glass, fine silver, antiques and decorative arts from private collections across Michigan. The sale was led by a Baccarat blown Macedoine glass paperweight which surpassed the high end of its $200/300 estimate by four and a half times to earn $1,364. Made between 1845-60, the paperweight showed a scrambled pattern of ribbons and filigree beneath its colorless glass casing. On its underside, the piece had a “Baccarat France” branding stamp, and it had provenance to a prominent Grosse Pointe, Mich., collector. For information, www.dumoart.com or 313-963-6255.
