Mira Nakashima Masterworks: The Estate of Geoffrey Halaburt
Freeman’s April 4 auction, Mira Nakashima Masterworks: The Estate of Geoffrey Halaburt, represents the strongest single-owner collection of works by Mira Nakashima to ever appear at auction. Mira, the daughter of George Nakashima, has overseen the family’s legendary New Hope, Pennsylvania furniture studio since her father’s death in 1990. The select 25-lot sale is led by a Conoid dining table set, as well as other classic designs of the Nakashima studio, including an exceptional Conoid desk and bench. From instantly recognizable chairs and coffee tables to more unusual table lamps and a rarely-seen book rest, all of the works in Freeman’s April 4 sale represent the height of the Nakashima firm’s artistic achievement under Mira’s supervision—as well as Geoffrey Halaburt’s close relationship to Mira, with whom he worked throughout the design process. A connoisseur of design and craftsmanship, Halaburt’s personal collection reflects his impeccable taste; Mira Nakashima Masterworks: The Estate of Geoffrey Halaburt offers collectors the opportunity to own a piece of this legacy.
