LOS ANGELES - May 29, 2020 - Andrew Jones Auctions will present the single owner auction of property from the estate of June D. Winkler of Beverly Hills and Rancho Mirage, California and Acapulco, Mexico on Tuesday, June 16th, starting promptly at 11 am Pacific time. The online-only auction comprises over 200 lots of art, art glass, luxury accessories and accents.
June Dale Winkler was the loving wife of self-made millionaire and philanthropist Myron (Mike) Winkler, the founder of Shareholder's Management Company, who predeceased her in death. Together, they traveled the world and collected treasures for their many estate homes.
June was known for her passion for collecting the finest things, the art of perfecting interior design and celebrating life with the grandest of parties. She was a trendsetter who loved her family, friends and many humanitarian causes. She relished unique objects of beauty.
"It is the perfect moment to offer this wonderful, whimsical, colorful and sparkling international collection of art glass and accessories to lift spirits," said company president Andrew Jones. "This is a celebration of June Winkler, her altruism and her vivacious personality. It's fitting to have her personal and most favorite possessions shared by others."
French art glass includes pieces by Baccarat, Daum and Lalique, including a Daum pâte de verre amber model of an elephant designed by Jean-François Leroy (est. $1,500-$2,000), an Amaryllis vase (est. $1,000-$2,000), and an entwined dragons and bowl centerpiece (est. $1,500-$2,000).
A magnificent 100-jewel colored glass fish aquarium (est. $3,000-$5,000) highlights the fine selection of Lalique, which also includes a pair of chrome and glass Chêne wall lights (est. $1,500-$2,000).
