The Lake Tahoe, Sierra Nevada Mountain Estate auction offers a captivating mix of natural beauty, Western heritage, and decorative charm drawn from a scenic mountain residence. Bird enthusiasts will delight in an impressive flock of owls and falcons rendered in bronze, porcelain, and carved wood, including an Andrea by Sadek owl pair, a Franklin Mint barn owl, and a finely detailed peregrine falcon. These striking figures evoke the spirit of the high Sierra and add a watchful presence to any collection.


The sale also celebrates Western art, led by S. P. Nava-ha's oil painting "The Trail of One Elk" and two dynamic Frederic Remington bronzes-"Rattlesnake" and "The Cheyenne"-that capture frontier motion and myth. Sculptural highlights include abstract dancers in metal, the mid-century "Head of Hypnos, " and several works inspired by classical form. Art glass collectors will find a vibrant Blenko-style amberina floor vase among dozens of colorful hand-blown pieces.


Adding to the depth and variety are a palmistry ceramic hand, a gold-plated Judaica pocket watch adorned with the Star of David and menorah motifs, and a range of fine decorative objects. These include Baccarat Aladin crystal candle holders, Lalique animal mascots, Murano-style birds, and curated vintage curios. This Lake Tahoe estate reflects a collector?s eye for beauty, story, and style across every category.
