Name dropping art treasures from the estate of Dr. Charles William Inman of Lakeland will dominate the March 29-30 sale in Crystal River, FL of more than 1,000 lots. ABSOLUTE SALE! NO RESERVES!
The estate of Dr. Inman has chosen a pair of veteran Florida auctioneers, Charlie Fudge of Crystal River, FL, owner of Professional Appraisers & Liquidators and Kale Albritton of Lakeland, FL, to facilitate the sale of Dr. Inman’s fabulous collection of art glass, silver, fine art, music boxes and antiques. Albritton, who knew Dr. Inman for over thirty years, said “Dr. Inman was very much an astute collector. He was a student of the subject – a collector with a method.”
Added to the 700 items from the Inman estate will be 300 more quality lots from various estates with names like Doulton, Limoges, R.S. Prussia, Fenton, Fulper and Northwood plus antique German dolls, works by listed artists, gold and silver coins and estate jewelry as well as paintings by 19th and 20th century listed artists.
More than twenty art glass lots bear signatures of L. C. Tiffany, LCT and Tiffany Studios and include a Cypriote Spot vase, Favrile vases including a special order green cased vase with pulled leaf and vine decoration, a rare blue Jack in the Pulpit vase, a Favrile compote, a Favrile Aurene bowl and many more. There are over fifty pieces of signed Steuben glass (some signed by the master, F. Carder) including bowls, art glass shades with fleur de lis signature, vases, a dresser jar, a flower frog and twenty three pieces of Selenium Red.

Sellars, Ernest Fredericks (American 1877-1927), a great Florida scene by original Florida Highwayman Robert Butler and many more important 19th and 20th century paintings.
