The Fortress
The Fortress: 500 Years of Furniture and Decorative Arts For over two decades, The Fortress has served as both a home and haven to Antonie Reinhard and the late Maurice Margules. Located in Troy, New York, this nationally recognized historic property, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, holds significance both architecturally and for the exceptional collection it houses. Within its walls, Reinhard and Margules created a private residence that doubled as a lived-in showcase, offering a compelling case for mixing centuries-old craftsmanship and modern sensibilities. Their expansive collection of early European furniture and decorative arts was dutifully preserved and intentionally lived with. Known figures in New York?s downtown antiques trade, at Metro Antiques and later Turbulence; the pair built a reputation for sourcing pieces of exceptional character, form, and historical resonance. The Fortress: 500 Years of Furniture and Decorative Arts brings together more than 150 lots spanning five centuries, each bearing the mark of their studied eye and passion for material culture. From the Italian Renaissance through the Baroque and William and Mary periods, the sale offers objects chosen both for their rarity and ability to speak across time. Highlights include a North Italian Marble Inlaid Ebonized Table Cabinet, a German Inlaid Walnut Commode, a Pair of Spanish Red Lacquer and Gilt Chinoiserie Decorated Chairs, a South German Alpine Gothic Chest from the 15th Century, and a Large Breche d?Alep Center Table.

STAIR Carries a Great Variety
Perhaps because STAIR is located in the Hudson Valley where Artists, Educators, and Cultural figures lived in the 19th century, STAIR has access to fine antiques and artworks from that era. I personally collect all things Gothic and Medieval so I was very pleased to find a Gothic Revival Chair offered at their Auction. I was even more pleased that I was the successful bidder although shipping a couple of states away, was a concern. I was happy that a Hudson, NY UPS store was able to pack and ship the chair (it was much heavier than I thought) and get it delivered to my home with only a broken dowel, easily repaired. I wish STAIR were closer, but in the meantime, I will continue to look for items that match my collecting categories. They were very attentive to my inquiries and helpful in arranging shipping. In summary, I feel they are a very good Auction house and would buy from STAIR again.
