Lion and Unicorn Auctions invites you to an extraordinary three-day collector’s weekend, featuring five exclusive auctions that celebrate the finest in porcelain artistry, luxury collectibles, and rare historical pieces. From January 17th to 19th, 2025, we present an exceptional opportunity to acquire rare Swarovski crystal, Royal Doulton, Boehm, Cybis, and other prestigious works of art. This curated event is designed for discerning collectors and art enthusiasts seeking limited editions, prototypes, and unique treasures. Friday’s auction (Lots 1–280) opens the weekend with a brilliant selection of Swarovski crystal figurines and Royal Doulton collectibles. The offerings include dazzling holiday-themed ornaments, rare animal sculptures, and complete nativity sets. Limited-edition pieces and retired designs make this auction a destination for collectors searching for hard-to-find items that shine with craftsmanship and elegance. Saturday’s auctions are split into two sessions: Part One (Lots 300–445) focuses on the legacy of Royal Doulton, Moorcroft, and Wedgwood. This session features artist-signed vases, prestige figures, and decorative pieces that capture the artistry of these renowned brands. Part Two (Lots 500–661) shifts to rare Capodimonte and Royal Doulton military-themed ceramics, showcasing sculptures of historical figures, Napoleonic soldiers, and grotesque stoneware. A highlight of this session is Lot 622 – the Martin Brothers Stoneware Grotesque Figural Wally Bird. Known for their eccentric and expressive designs, the Martin Brothers’ stoneware stands as a pinnacle of British ceramic artistry, making this piece a rare and whimsical find for collectors.

Sunday’s auctions conclude the weekend with two remarkable sessions: Part One (Lots 700–911) highlights Boehm and Cybis porcelain, featuring wildlife sculptures, flambe vases, and character jugs that

merge realism with artistic flair. Part Two (Lots 1000–1210) showcases an exceptional collection of rare and limited-edition Boehm and Cybis porcelain masterpieces. This session emphasizes intricate bird and floral sculptures, religious icons, and historical figures. A crown jewel of the auction is Lot 1015 – a Boehm Porcelain Percheron Stallion Sculpture, 1950. This rare, glazed porcelain sculpture was hand-created and painted by Edward M. Boehm. Limited to only 100 pieces, it stands out not only for its fine detail and coloration but also for its historical significance, as one of these Percheron Stallions was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1951, marking one of Boehm’s first works to receive museum recognition.

This collector’s weekend is a rare opportunity to enrich your collection with remarkable works of art, each piece selected for its beauty, craftsmanship, and historical significance.
