PHILADELPHIA, PA.- Freeman’s will present two back-to-back auctions, Art and Design and Luxe: Boutique Jewelry, that offer many opportunities for collecting and gifting this holiday season.

Art and Design, held on December 8 at 11am, is led by fine Tiffany Studios lighting from the Estate of Gabriele Lee, ironwork by celebrated Philadelphia metalworker Samuel Yellin, furniture by leading names of 20th-century design, including George Nakashima, Charles Eames, and Paul Evans, and paintings, works on paper, and prints and multiples from highly sought-after artists, from David Hockney and Claes Oldenburg to Takashi Murakami and Alex Katz.
