Dec-17-01	#1495522115 #1495527382	whittodd whittodd	$2,850.00 $2,425.00		Frank Lloyd Wright original signed drawing This is an original drawing from the construction documents from the Eric Pratt Residence in Galesburg, Michigan (late 1940's). This sheet is of a section/detail thru the house. I also have listed on EBAY the sheet of the exterior elevations. The drawing is on tracing vellum and is 24"x36" and is in pencil, colored pencil and ink. The red square (F. L. Wright's logo) has Wright's signature (initials) in ink. It is my understanding that Wright would initial the construction drawings after he had given his final review of all the drawings. There are minor creases and the corners have pinholes and tape residue but does not impact the overall quality of the drawing. E-Mail any questions. I purchased this sheet and three others from an art dealer at the local Tulsa flea market. In June of this year, I sent all the drawings to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archive at Taliesen West. They photographed them and cataloged them into their file system. They asked if I would donate them to the foundation, or if not, will them to the foundation upon my death. I am not in a position to donate them but request that the successful bidder place them in their will to be given to the FLLW Foundation. The photos I have used look blurry on my dial-up modem at home, but look ok with my DSL connection at work. If they look blurry, E-mail me and I will E-mail you JPEG's of each photo.

Money orders only please. `On Feb-24-00 at 15:24:28 PST, seller added the following information:` Several people have written me inquiring as to the authenticity of these blueprints and how I came to have them. As to their authenticity, all I can say is that they are original blueprints, printed by Wisconsin Blueprint Company on a type of paper that has not been in general use since the early 60s (i.e. white on blue). In other words, they are not copies of blueprints, but rather, original blueprints. They are NOT original vellum tracings. They came to me by way of my father, who got them from an architect he worked for, who was remodeling a Wright-designed home in the Phoenix area in the late 1950s. I'm sorry, but this is all the information I have regarding this item.
Mar-30-00	#289213176	sfmark1958	$1,975.00		Original Frank Lloyd Wright Blueprints For those of you who missed out on the first two sets... A Rare Find! A third (and final) set of original Frank Lloyd Wright Blueprints, Plans for the Benjamin Aldeman "Desert Cottage" in Phoenix AZ, dated May 1952 This is a third and final set of plans found in the same roll which contained the other two sets I recently had up for auction. This is a completely different house than what was featured in those auctions. This is the Aldeman's "Desert Cottage" built at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, AZ. This is most definitely a "working set" of blueprints. One sheet has a large semi-circular tear on the right edge. It was taped back together at some point. There is no "Wisconsin Blueprint" stamp on the back of these sheets, although being found rolled with the other set, their authenticity is not in doubt. One sheet appears to have been sliced out of the stapled, bound set, and was subsequently taped back in. There are various white pencil revisions scrawled on the plans. I have no knowledge of who made these mark-ups, so please don't write and ask if Wright himself did them. I don't know. There are 6 sheets, approximately 36" x 30" in size, including (as titled on sheets): Plot Plan, General Plan, Elevations, Sections, Roof Framing, and Block Details. Except for the above caveats, this set is excellent condition for its age. A great gift for that architect, historian or student who has everything! Please email any questions before bidding as all sales are final. U.S. Sales ONLY. Buyer pays $5.00 packing fee and actual UPS charges and, if desired, insurance. Plans will be shipped in a double cardboard tube. Verification of winning bid must be completed within 3 days of end of auction and if payment is not received within 10 days thereafter, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction, leave negative feedback and award to next-highest bidder. Money orders or cashier's checks preferred, but I will accept a personal check with the understanding that shipment of the blueprints will be delayed 10 business days after receipt to allow the check to clear. Plans will be shipped immediately if paying by money order or cashier's check. Good luck, and happy bidding!
Dec-21-01	# 1497541266	lattakia	$1,875.00		Original Set of Frank Lloyd Wright Blueprints This is a complete set of 8 original Frank Lloyd Wright blueprints of a music pavilion designed for Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dayer (c.1947). (The commission was not executed.) Each blueprint is 28 1/2" high by 41 1/2" wide and in very good condition. The notation "Frank Lloyd Wright Architect" is located bottom, center on each sheet, and each sheet has a square box (lower right) which contains "FLLW/'47". Sheet#5 "Elevations" is displayed below. The complete listing of 8 sheets: 1.Ground Plan 2. Mat and Heating Plan 3.General Floor Plan 4.Roof Framing Plan 5.Elevations 6.Cross Sections 7.Millwork Details 8.Cabinetwork. The blueprints have been folded and have creasings, which need to be relaxed. Because the blueprints are light sensitive, if they are to be displayed UV-blocking glass should be used. I warrant the authenticity of these blueprints! Provenance: a Taliesin Fellow who worked with Mr. Wright in the 1940's. Please email with any questions. (It is possible to get these to you by Christmas.)
Mar-05-00	#273194358	sfmark1958	$954.00		A(nother) Rare Find! Frank Lloyd Wright Blueprints For those of you who missed out the first time around...A(nother) Rare Find! A second set of original Frank Lloyd Wright Blueprints Plans for the Aldeman House in Whitefish Bay, WI, dated 20-29 January 1955 This is a second set of plans found in the same roll which contained the other set I recently had up for auction. While this is a set of the same house, it differs from the other set in several important ways: This appears to be an earlier set. On the first sheet, on the "List of Sheets", a sheet 3A Details of Metal Sash (to Follow) is listed, although not included in the set. On the other set I had up for auction, this sheet listing had been erased and marked "void". There is no "Wisconsin Blueprint" stamp on the back of these sheets, although being found rolled with the other set, their authenticity is not in doubt. The other set had an extra half-sheet included (but not recorded on the "Lists of Sheets") called "Revision to Carport", dated 3 March 1955. There are only 7 sheets (since the Carport Revision had not yet been done), approximately 36" x 24" in size (one sheet is slightly larger), including (as titled on sheets): Plot Plan, Footings Heating & Plumbing, General Plan, Elevations, Sections and Details, Revision to Carport, Roof Framing Plan, and Cabinetwork. Like the other set, this set is also in excellent condition, with only minor edge wear and some small tears and folds around the perimeter of a couple of the sheets. On the first sheet there is some contact wear about 1" from the right edge, about 2" long. These plans came to me by way of my father, who worked for an architect who was remodeling a Wright home (the Aldeman house at the Arizona Biltmore) in Phoenix in the early 1960s. According to Dad, Wright came by at one point during the remodeling, looked at it and uttered one word, "Unfortunate". A great gift for that architect, historian or student who has everything! Please email any questions before bidding as all sales are final. U.S. Sales ONLY. Buyer pays $5.00 packing fee and actual UPS charges and, if desired, insurance. Plans will be shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube. Verification of winning bid must be completed within 3 days of end of auction and if payment is not received within 10 days thereafter, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction, leave negative feedback and award to next-highest bidder. Money orders or cashier's checks preferred, but I will accept a personal check with the understanding that shipment of the blueprints will be delayed 10 business days after receipt to allow the check to clear. Plans will be shipped immediately if paying by money order or cashier's check. On Mar-01-00 at 20:29:56 PST, seller added the following information: It has been pointed out to me that Wright died in 1959 (I never claimed to be a Wright devotee or expert!), and therefore the tale of Wright stopping by the remodeling is obviously off by a few years. My apologies and thanks to those who know more than I. On Mar-03-00 at 07:03:38 PST, seller added the following information: I just noticed there is a slight error in the description of the sheets (that's what I get for cutting and pasting from the other auction!). As stated, there is NO "Revision to Carport" sheet, even though it inadvertently got listed. Sorry for the confusion.

Dec-10-02	Christies	anonymous	$2 million		Copyright (c) 2002, The Associated Press NEW YORK -- A leaded glass lamp designed by Frank Lloyd Wright sold on Tuesday for just under $2 million, a record for a Wright piece at auction, Christie's auction house said. The lamp, created around 1903 for the Susan Lawrence Dana House in Springfield, Ill., was acquired for $1,989,500 by a telephone bidder who wished to remain anonymous. The presale estimate for the lamp was $1.2 million to $1.8 million. The double-pedestal lamp, designed in shades of green, yellow and amber, was one of a pair of lamps that stood in the library of the house, which was also designed by Wright. The previous world auction record for a work by Wright was $704,000 for a lamp sold by Christie's in 1988. The prices include the auction house's commission.
Sep-12-01	#1462851603	onyxman	$2,275.00		1914 Frank Lloyd Wright Midway Gardens China This auction is for an incredibly rare and important piece of china designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Midway Gardens was built in Chicago in 1914 at 60th and cottage grove Ave. It operated for only two years under the same owner. This china with the wonderful Midway Gardens logo designed by wright is very difficult to find in any condition. This example in in fabulous condition. It is 5-15/16" diameter. A bread and butter plate. The surface is still glossy with very little signs of use. No chips, cracks, or discoloration. Being this was the china used in the club it's amazing it escaped in this condition. Perfect logo. There is only light wear on the red squared border probably more from printing on the beveled surface than from use. The back is marked "New York - Chicago Bauscher Weiden (Germany) 1914". This is the German company which made the china in 1914. This is a great item for the serious collector of Frank Lloyd Wright or architectural study. Buyer to pay priority shipping and insurance.

Dec-17-03	#2581267767	viddard	$575.56		Frank Lloyd Wright Carpet Genuine Frank Lloyd Wright Carpet. 4&1/2 ft X 4&1/2 ft (54”X54”) Frank Lloyd Wright Carpet from the Biltmore Luxury Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. Incredible color! This is the “Imperial Arrow” design that Frank Lloyd Wright originally designed for the Imperial Hotel in Japan. With a different color scheme, the native American influenced design was then reused for the Biltmore in Phoenix. (1927). This carpet was rewoven in 1970 under commission from the FLW foundation following a fire at the Biltmore. Management, in the name of “progress” discarded the design in the late 90’s. I have owned 7 Frank Lloyd Wright rugs, and this is one of the nicest. The quality of this one is suitable for wall display. There are no holes, thin spots, or damaged areas, just general even wear appropriate to age. Color is still vibrant. This is a great investment piece that can only appreciate. You can authenticate this piece by looking it up in the book, “Frank Lloyd Wright Design" by Maria Costantino. There is a photo of the foyer featuring this very carpet on page 77. Just back from being professionally cleaned. I will be happy to gift wrap this for the recipient. I do NOT gouge on shipping. You pay, what I pay. Money refunded if not delighted with this acquisition. (10 day window) Why buy key chains, coasters and mugs when you can own the real deal? Note: This rug lies perfectly flat, but the edges in the photo are curled from having just been unrolled coming back from the cleaner. (note tag in lower right corner)

One of the most famous architectural images ever photographed and this is an original print measuring a large 11 by 14 and on the correct brown tinted Kodak paper.

Feb-06-00	#249606703	guardfrog	$553.05		FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT GLASS TILE/S LEADED WINDOW. In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright patented a style of prismatic glass tile designed to refract and diffuse light into the building from the outside for maximum lighting efficiency. These tiles were generally used in store fronts as the transoms to the larger plate glass display windows. This is an interesting example of Wrights early ornamentation. Wright patterned this design for the Luxfer Prism Company in 1897. Some of the tiles that were made, have a beautiful geometric flower design, a raindrop pattern, a pleated design, and some were just plain. You are bidding on a set of nine tiles, one with the F.L.W. flower pattern, two with the raindrop pattern, four plain ones, and two with the panel design. In order to make clear glass in the 1890's, the glass houses of the day added manganese to the glass batch. Adding this chemical resulted in crystal clear glass, but it was only temporary. Exposure to sunlight over years, and years, caused this type of glass to take on a slight lavender color. The same effect happens to 100 year old bottles made out of this same glass These tiles were taken out of a store front window of a building. They have taken on the light lavender color with age. These tiles are in excellent condition, and were leaded into a window measuring approximately 12 3/4" x 12 7/8" suitable for an insert in a door or window. None of the tiles have cracks. All the glass work is finished, and the window is ready to be used. I have provided a picture that shows four close up views of the different tiles, and a view of the window that you are bidding on. The window would make a really nice, over 100 year old gift, for the architectural student, Frank Lloyd Wright collector, or housewarming gift. If you would like more information. Please go to a web site I have put together, describing in detail, these wonderful pieces of glass.

Feb-21-00	#258892192	lilygoat	$202.50		Frank Lloyd Wright Prism Glass Tile/s WINDOW In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright patented a style of prismatic glass tile designed to refract and diffuse light into the building from the outside for maximum lighting efficency. These tiles were generally used in store fronts as the transoms to the larger plate glass display windows. This is an interesting example of Wrights early ornamentation. Wright patterned this design for the Luxfer Prism Company in 1897. Some of the tiles that were made, have a beautiful geometric flower design, a raindrop pattern, a pleated design, and some were just plain. You are bidding on a set of nine tiles, one with the F.L.W. flower pattern, two with the raindrop pattern, four plain ones, and two with the panel design. In order to make clear glass in the 1890's, the glass houses of the day added mangenese to the glass batch. Adding this chemical made crystal clear glass, but exposure to sunlight over years and years caused this type of glass to take on a slight lavendar color. The same effect happens to 100 year old bottles made out of this same glass These tiles were taken out of a store front window of a building. They have taken on a light lavendar color with age. These tiles are in excellect condition, and were leaded into a window measuring 12 3/4" x 12 7/8" suitable for an insert in a door or window. None of the tiles have cracks. All the stained glass work is finished and the window is ready to be used. Would make a really neat, over 100 year old gift, for the architectural student, or Frank Lloyd Wright collector. Buyer pays $4.25 priority mail shipping, (my cost) expert packing, with the best materials. Insurance is optional, BUT I WILL PAY FOR IT IF THE BID EXCEEDS $100.00 The tiles will be sent out same day, upon receiving a Postal Money Order. NO RESERVE
Feb-16-00	#257542704	lilygoat	$102.50		PRISM GLASS TILE/S FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT STYLE In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright patented a design of prismatic glass tile, for the Luxfer Prism Glass Co. to refract and diffuse light into the building from the outside for maximum lighting efficiency. These tiles were generally used in store fronts as the transoms to the larger plate glass display windows. This is a variation of this style of window. A competitor, The Solar Prism Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, made the tiles used in this window. It uses the same principle that Luxfer designed by defusing light into the building through the prisms on the back of the tiles. I've been collecting these items for many years, and tiles from the Solar Prism Co. are some of the most difficult to locate and have some of the best color. You are bidding on a set of nine tiles, one with the, Starburst Design (center) and 8 of the plain design with the bull's-eye pattern.

Feb-16-00	#257338356	tweety@ idsmail.com	$1,275.00		FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT "Dana-Thomas House" STYLE. This piece is one of those it is hard to keep your eyes off of. The piece is I have been told a line-line replica of a Frank Lloyd Wright designed lamp in the otherworldly "Dana-Thomas" house in Springfield, Illinois. It is at minimum very much like a lamp in the house which I saw in the house many years ago as a tourist before I acquired this piece and also saw again on TV a few months ago on a film tour of the house, which I did not tape. I had this piece stashed for myself but decided to go ahead and offer it up for a little excitement. The piece is PREMIUM! The center panel is one foot tall by about six inches and runs into a sheath surround and is encased within the square poles of the base but separated by space. Just FABULOUS! The piece is two feet and three inches tall and trhe shade is huge at TWENTY ONE AND ONE-HALF inches from side to side. This was a very expensive lamp and the find of a lifetime! Please note all the detailing which is individually as strong as the whole. Fascinating! (I have priced this piece very very well and wish to say for clarity that if this piece does not sell I will not be able to negotiate on it after the sell as it is spoken for by my husband's former partner who has always wanted it. That is rare for me to do so I wanted to mention it.) This is a true find of a lifetime priced at the buy of a lifetime so please enjoy bidding on this wonderful piece. Thank you for visiting me.
Feb-20-00	#260743575	dlighted1	$850.00		Authentic!! Frank Lloyd Wright Floor Lamp. Frank Lloyd Wright originally designed this wooden floor lamp for his own home, Taliesin, built in Spring Green, WI in 1911. Engaged in a solid base, the shaft of the lamp supports a square shade that mimics the roof of a pagoda, certainly one of FLW's signature forms. Gracefully reproportioned here, the lamp now stands at 49"H x 15"W x 17"D. It's soft diffused light makes it a wonderful reading lamp for any living room or office. Lamp base is made of cherry wood; shade made of cherry wood and laminated Japanese paper. This reproduction is authorized by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and is made by the only company licensed to reproduce reproductions by the Foundation. The lamp is stamped with its own serial production number as a guarantee of authenticity. Lamp is new - in original packaging.

Please note that I do not know anything about marionettes and I am describing to the best of my ability and selling is. It measures approx. 20". I believe he was hand-made. I don't know what he is made of: it isn't composition or plastic, but what it feels and looks like to me is a hard, paper mache. I pulled up one of his pant legs and there is old, newspaper glued around the structure of his legs, and you can see yellowed newspaper from under his sleeves too. He is hand painted, his eyes are blue. His hat and head are one piece. The hat feels like paper mache and has a leather/rawhide band. His white hair and bushy eyebrows feel like rabbit fur. His gray cape has a few tiny holes that I think the strings went through. He is not marked. The strings need to be untangled but I am leaving that up to the buyer. Overall I think is he in excellent condition. Buyer pays 4.30 shipping if in the United States. Please allow 7 to 10 days for check to clear or send m.o. for quick shipping. Thanks and good luck.

Mar-02-00	#266553361	camfam	$290.00		Christie's Auction Catalog Frank Lloyd Wright I have been selling my collection of Arts & Crafts auction catalogs and have saved the very best for last! This is the Christie's New York catalog from December 8 & 11, 1993 that featured the sale of most of the Tom Monaghan / Domino's Pizza collection of Frank Lloyd Wright furniture, windows, and other items. Tom Monaghan was the most aggressive collector of high-end Wright items in the late 1980's. His presence at auctions was the reason for the astronomical prices Wright items went for at that time. Over a period of a few years, he amassed the finest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright items in the world, much of which was displayed at the the Domino's headquarters in Michigan. Unfortunately, the collection was largely purchased with money from loans that were secured by the items themselves, and had been bought at vastly inflated prices due to Monaghan's bidding zeal. (Kinda like buying tech stocks on margin!) Monaghan was forced to sell the collection off in the early 1990's. This auction was a good part of it. It is a fantastic FLW sale, probably the best offering in one place ever. In addition, the auction has many pages of great Gustav Stickley furniture, some very rare early (1901) spindle furniture, and some great Harvey Ellis designs. There have never to my knowledge been photos of the 1901 Stickley spindle settle and chair published anywhere else, other than in a 1901 issue of The Craftsman magazine. There is also Limberts; Dirk Van Erp and Elizabeth Burton lamps; Jarvie and Roycroft candlesticks; Grueby; Teco; Rohlfs chairs; and some wonderful major pieces by Greene & Greene, including a fantastic leaded glass hanging lamp from the Blacker House in Pasadena. This was one of the most historic auctions of 20th Century furniture ever, and is a must for the collector of Mission and Frank Lloyd Wright Furniture, or turn of the century art pottery. 117 pages of the best 20th century items ever offered at auction, with most pieces illustrated in FULL COLOR high quality photographs. The catalog is in excellent condition, and includes the prices realized at the auction.

Feb-19-00	#257538495	jpp	$29.00		Frank Lloyd Wright - Larkin Building Poster I'm unable to provide you with a photo of this wonderful poster (Santa didn't bring that digital camera!), so I will rely upon a thorough description to detail this awesome rendering of one of Frank Lloyd Wright's best known commercial works (sadly demolished in 1950 courtesy of some short-sighted pinheads in Buffalo). It is unframed and measures 18 inches by 23 inches. It is new old stcck from 1988. Most of the print is a rendering of the Larkin Administration Building done in silver ink on a white background with a black border. The elevation of the building is shown from the rear corner looking toward the main Larkin factory complex - quite an unusual and rarely captured perspective. Under the artwork is a black background with silver lettering that reads, "THE CHEMICAL BANK ANNUAL EXHIBITION, FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT'S LARKIN BUILDING, FEBRUARY 7 - MARCH 20, 1988, BURCHFIELD ART CENTER, ROCKWELL HALL, BUFFALO STATE COLLEGE, JACK QUINAN, CURATOR". If you weren't able to view this exhibit twelve years ago, or even if you did, here is your chance to add this print to your collection of Larkin or Frank Lloyd Wright items. I have mine framed in silver, hanging over my Larkin desk. Please e-mail me with any questions. Buyer will add $3.20 to the final price for mailing in a Priority Mailing tube (more outside the US).
