Happy New Year to all. This is our last sale for 2018 and it will be an unforgettable one.
The lady of the house had spent most of her 100 years collecting wonderful items from all over the world and many of her items are over 100 years old as she collected them as antiques from around the 1940’s to the present. These items for sale are well depicted in the attached photographs. So look them over and join us for one of the nicest estate sales on Saturday and Sunday the 29th and 30th of December.
Among all the beautiful books are several Eastern Shore editions and one of the most important ones is “The Virginia Eastern Shore and Its British Origins History, Gardens & Antiquities” by H. Chandlee Forman. This book is no longer being published and will be worth the trip just to see.
There are some really beautiful oriental art pieces as well as small collectibles. Wonderful pieces of brass and copper form the Middle East that will be a great addition to any collection.
The beautiful wing chair has been covered in oriental silk that would be a terrific addition to any home. Both chaises and the very charming sofa have also been upholstered in silk with down cushions. What a joy to sit on and relax. The chaises are perfect for enjoying some of the good books that are available.
There are an assortment of nice rugs, including Middle Eastern, Oriental and vintage hooked rugs. The drop-leaf tables (one in the living room and one in the kitchen) are perfect for small spaces. When they are folded down they take up very little room. The dry sink has a lot of storage and will be a great addition to your kitchen or den.
In the master bedroom is a really nice mahogany four poster bed with canopy, complete with mattress and box springs. The Empire dresser and dressing table are unique and beautiful and the small tufted settee and bench for the end of the bed are upholstered in silk.
The second bedroom has a wonderful antique rope bed with mattress and box springs. The wool coverlet has beautiful beading and is in perfect condition.
It is after Christmas but in the third bedroom are several items that will be a great addition for next years holiday celebration. There are several toys from the 1940’s as well as books and games and a couple of great trunks.
The garage holds some interesting treasures as well as another great trunk, some interesting garden pots, tools and an unique bird bath The mirrored display shelf on the wall will fit into any mid century home.
