the Estate of the late Gerald Tillett of Shelbyville, Tennessee
Over 450 Superb Lots Saturday,
December 2nd, 2006 11:00 am EST The
late Gerald Tillett owned and operated Tillett Brothers construction
Company which was one of the largest highway construction firms in the
South! Mr. Tillett’s firm constructed the major portion of I-24
from Chattanooga to Nashville, including the section of interstate across
Monteagle Mountain. Gerald Tillett, and his wife Betty, were also avid
collectors of antiques and works of art. Over the last 50 years they
amassed a collection that must be rated as one of the best in the South.
This fine collection has been moved from the Tillett home in Shelbyville
to our gallery in Chattanooga. In addition, we will sell a collection
of fine china from an estate in St. Louis, Missouri, an exquisite collection
of jewelry and an outstanding consignment of oriental rugs.
