Animal Boxes

Brooklyn-based designer Karl Zahn's 'animal boxes' for areaware are small figural containers that represent the power of the animal - the bull, llama, polar bear, rhinoceros, walrus and whale respectively. 

These simple totems allow for the symbolism of the represented animal to be maintained while acting
as functional miniature sculptures. Hinges allow one to swing the components of the animal in two revealing a recessed space in which one can store small important objects within.

Tycoon Toys

The December 17 sale of the Malcolm Forbes Toy Collection presented the toy boats, soldiers, motorcycles and classic board games lovingly gathered over nearly four decades by legendary collector Malcolm Forbes and his sons.

Each area of the collection is amongst the finest of its kind, boasting rare and important examples by the leading toy makers in the field - from a Märklin recreation of the Cunard Line's "Lusitania" ocean liner, circa 1912, to a rare group of Medieval Mounted Knights crafted by Richard Courtenay, to the earliest surviving handmade Monopoly game-set, circa 1933. 

The major portion of the sale will consisted of a captivating array of sports, naval, commercial and luxury toy boats - arguably one of the finest collections of its type in the world. It reflects the best examples from the 1870s through the 1950s, which is known as the Golden Age of Toys, and includes examples from every major toy boat maker, many originating from the Nuremburg area in Germany, among them Märklin, Bing, Fleischmann and Carette.

The largest toy boat in the collection, 47" long, is the cast-iron French Gas-Powered Heavily Armored Gunboat (est. $200/300,000), a replica of a 19th century battleship with a gas-powered engine and zinc and bronze details also known as “Andre the Giant.” A top lot of the sale, it is currently the only known example of its kind. Also among the featured lots is the Märklin recreation of the Cunard Line’s "Lusitania" ocean liner (est. $100/200,000), which was sunk in 1915 by a German submarine, helping to precipitate America's entry into World War I.
