Rare & Distinctive Estates Auction

The morning of New Year's Eve, Gallery Auctions will hold its final auction of 2011. Much like the final parties of the year to be held later that evening, Gallery Auctions is doing it big, doing it extravagantly, and doing it right! With a double estate auction containing notable pieces of Americana history, all of which must be sold outright with no minimums by the end of the auction, Gallery Auctions is sending 2011 out in style. Items for this auction include the estate of a true Southern antebellum home, along with pieces collected throughout the life and travels of a prominent Northeastern family responsible for bringing American Express to Europe. Living in Paris gave this family the opportunity to create an amazing collection of French & American furniture, waliking sticks / canes, china, and collectibles. This collection has been carefully cataloged and detailed lists, along with any available appraisals, will be provided prior to the auction. The items in this auction are so rare and unusual, they only surface with estate events such as this, and much like the end of the year, will be gone before we know it. Don't miss this outstanding opportunity to make part of American history a part of your very own collection
