We are excited to present this first session of an incredible collection from a well travelled English Professor who had a keen eye for beautiful Art, Rugs, Fine China, Gorham Sterling Silver and various other high quality antiques and curiosities. Featuring more than twenty antique and semi antique hand knotted Persian rugs, he was aptly described by his son as a "loon for the knots". He also enjoyed collecting Mid Century Art from notable artists of the period (and earlier periods as well). Much of the artwork in this first session was freshly discovered in the attic, some put away for decades. There are a number of interesting original examples of Illustration Artwork featured in early novels from the late 19th to early 20th century from the Bobbs Merrill Co. You will find many ancillary pieces of "Etruscan" pattern Gorham Sterling Silver flatware to start or add to your own collection. Antiques such as the Dandy Dan Velocipede were no doubt inherited from previous generations of family collectors. Also, we are thrilled to offer some exemplary pieces of Royal Crown Derby China in Old Imari pattern. Vintage costume jewelry and Handmade Italian shoes are examples of the fashion items featured.
