World Treasures fromThe 50 Year Collection of Joe Candioto

Friday, July 8 10:30am Central Time

For more than two decades, Joseph’s Jewelry in the Georgian Village Shops was one of Kansas City’s best kept secrets among lovers of fine jewelry. With his own per-sonal sense of style and connoisseurship, Joe Candioto quietly became something of a “jeweler to the stars” known for big diamonds and bold designs offered without the trappings of a flashy retail presence. His clientele list could have been taken from the pages of Who’s Who in Kansas City. Local politicians, celebrities, philanthropists and even a few not-so-local television stars started out as a customer and then became a close personal friend who shared Joe’s passion for fine jewelry and fabulous antiques. The remainder of that jewelry and all of those fabulous antiques must now be sold to the highest bidder. Joe’s favorite pieces gathered over half a century of buying trips to New York and forays into Estates around the Mid-west will be sold by Joe’s heirs and The Joseph Earl Candioto trust. It does not appear that Joe ever passed the opportunity to buy anything in the French Egyptian Revival style ‘retour d’Egypte’ and he did manage to gather his share of all things French besides. He liked Napoleonic objects, Sevres porcelain, Marble Sculp-ture and Fine Bronzes. The bigger the better. This will be the third and final sale of his personal collection and the best has definitely been saved for last.

An oil on canvas after the painting by August Riedel (German, 1799-1883) in which the biblical figure Judith stands holding a sword, the decapitated head of Holofernes partially visible behind her on the left.

Holofernes was an Assyrian general who was about to destroy Judith’s home, the city of Bethulia. Overcome with drink, he passes out and is decapitated by Judith …”.

246 - A CIRCA 16TH CENTURY MANNERIST SCHOOL OIL ON CANVAS The portrait of a standing child figure, her body turned sharply in a twisting pose with billowing red cloak and holding a thin blue ribbon tied to the collar of a powerful Molossus type dog, to the figure’s proper right is a second smaller dog and the background is a series of architectural views; the larger dog’s collar bears partially visible lettering that includes what appears to be the surname Cornelius, there are no other signatures or markings. Displayed in an outstanding carved and gilded circa 17th century frame of tied laurel leaf carved from what appears to be walnut and in exceptionally high relief, the corners are dovetailed and joined by wood pegs, a forged iron hanger remains on the top crest.

The largest of these is a 3-inch repaired tear with corresponding 1 inch diam-eter area of in-painting.
