Jewelry Through the Ages.



CHICAGO, IL.- Hindman has been given the opportunity to offer the remaining collection of Ernest and Elle Brummer over a series of auctions, commencing with the highly anticipated Antiquities and Ancient Art sale in December. The collection also features fine jewelry, furniture, decorative arts, and fine art to be offered in auctions from December through March of next year.

“These auctions not only showcase exceptional pieces but also serve as a tribute to the Brummer legacy,” said Jacob Coley, Hindman’s Director and Senior Specialist of Antiquities & Ancient Art. “The carefully curated collection, spanning various artistic periods and styles, embodies the Brummers' discerning taste and passion for art. We are thrilled to honor this legacy and provide a unique platform for art enthusiasts and collectors to acquire these remarkable pieces, thereby continuing the legacy of appreciation and scholarship that the Brummer Galleries so ardently championed.”

Ernest Brummer was a renowned art dealer who, along with his brother Joseph, founded the historically significant Brummer Galleries, which held a paramount importance in both New York and Paris during the early to mid-20th century. The galleries played a pivotal role in shaping the tastes and collections of art enthusiasts and museums alike. With locations in two of the world's artistic hubs, the Brummer Galleries became vital conduits for introducing European art to American audiences and vice versa. Their carefully curated exhibitions and extensive collection of artworks, ranging from ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces, not only enriched the cultural landscape of both cities but also fostered a deeper understanding of art history among the public. Moreover, the Brummer Galleries acted as influential intermediaries, connecting prominent artists and collectors, thereby contributing significantly to the global art market and paving the way for artistic exchange and appreciation across continents.

Antiquities & Ancient Art - December 5, 2023

The Antiquities and Ancient Art auction presents a unique opportunity for connoisseurs and scholars alike. One of the standout pieces in this esteemed collection is a Roman Marble Head of a Triton from the 2nd Century A.D., boasting exceptional provenance and exhibition history (estimate: $80,000 - $120,000). Comparable to statues in the permanent collection of the renowned Capitoline Museum in Rome, this Triton head exemplifies the mastery of Roman craftsmanship. Equally inspiring is a Romano-Egyptian Black Basalt Portrait Head of an Augustan Aristocrat from the 1st Century A.D. (estimate: $80,000 - $120,000). Its enigmatic appearance and historical significance make it a captivating subject for academic study. With a lineage traceable through esteemed collections and notable exhibitions, this collection of ancient art offers a rare glimpse into the ancient world, underscoring the auction's scholarly importance and the Brummers' legacy of preserving and sharing exceptional pieces of historical and artistic value.
