Asian and Antique Decor, Ephemera, & More

A diverse collection of rare and unusual items from across eras and cultures. Estate Treasures 76 offers a curated selection of antique furnishings, decorative arts, historic artifacts, and ephemera sourced from estates with rich stories and distinct character. Key highlights include a 1790s decanter set believed to be associated with George Washington, featuring a velvet-lined liquor chest and sixteen delicately crafted glass vessels. A Civil War-era saxhorn, notable for its unique over-the-shoulder design and possible connection to the Stonewall Brigade Band, adds a layer of historical depth. The fine art selection includes an English portrait from the late 17th to early 18th century, an 18th-century portrait of James Edward Oglethorpe, and a Romantic landscape by John Crome, all offered in well-preserved condition. Asian antiques in the sale include a 19th-century red lacquer Chinese wedding cabinet, a hand-carved jade garment hook, and a Showa-era Japanese screen, alongside a range of sterling silver, porcelain, and decorative pieces. Additional items of note include a 1923 Coca-Cola cash register with original branding, Victorian hall furniture, gold nuggets, signed historical ephemera, and a wide array of personal and decorative objects.
