Bathing beauties
Bertoia's Auctions are famous for their early cast iron doorstops. This Art Deco doorstop ?Bathing Beauties? designed by Fish and produced by Hubley created a bidding frenzy during the million-dollar summer sale auction.
"The Bathing Beauties doorstop is an extremely popular form with collectors, and this example was in particularly nice condition,? said Jeanne Bertoia, the company's owner. ?It was estimated at $3,000-$4,000 and sold for $10,350, which we believe to be a world auction record?.
Believe it! $ 10,350 for a doorstop! Don?t we wish to have this buyer as a client?!
