“Miller & Miller’s annual Fall Canadiana auction starting 9am Saturday October 11th is sure to turn heads,” Ben Lennox remarked, adding, “As Canadiana encompasses a wide variety of genres, we have highlights across many collecting categories. Original paint / original surface furniture is a major focus, with superb pieces that were long housed in old collections from Quebec and Ontario.”
Featured is an incredible offering of six Quebec armoires and a monumental York County corner cupboard (lot 193) that was prominently featured in Howard Pain’s book. Duck decoys from noted Ontario, Quebec and Maritimes carvers will come up for bid. The category is highlighted by three pairs of mergansers, as well as striking examples by master carver Wayne Shaddock.
Trade signs remain a hot commodity, and the well documented Stalter’s Music Store Beaver (lot 205) is just one of a great selection. Historical folk art can be found via three pre-confederation samplers from Toronto U.C and Kingston, and if nautical folk art speaks to you, an 1859 watercolor by famed folk artist Captain Alexander McNeilledge (Lot 192) checks all the boxes.
A small but mighty offering of fabulous clocks by Twiss (Lot 235), Bellerose (Lot 236) and Jalbert (Lot 237) are ones to build a collection around. Canadian art is well represented with artists such as Arthur Lismer, Tom Roberts, Doris McCarthy, Homer Watson and Harold Town.
“From West Coast Native art to East Coast folk art and everything in between – canoe cups, crooked knives, shelves, stools, chairs, portrait paintings and many more – there truly is something for discerning collectors across many categories,” Mr. Lennox said, “curated from across Canada, and featuring a number of prominent collections that were built over decades.”
