Canadiana Featuring the Pain Collection

Our winter 2026 Canadiana auction will be live cast on Saturday February 14th at 9am EST, and is sure to tantalize all collectors! A well rounded sale that features pieces acquired from long time collectors across Canada including the collection of the late Howard Pain, and the late Cathy Consentino. Original paint and original surface furniture is always a major focus with examples coming from Ontario, Quebec and the East Coast. Highlights include an exuberant Waterloo County Neoclassic Corner Cupboard that will stop you in your tracks, an Ontario Shrank with exceptional paint, a folky Quebec Chest and pieces done by New Brunswick master Thomas Nisbet. Some of the finest Ontario Portraits have come to market including Mrs. Ann Hayward by Thomas MacDonald. A portrait of the Gummer Family from Cobourg, and Mr. and Mrs. Phair from Sunderland Ontario. Great, and early portraits are typically buried in old collections - take note as they don?t come up often. Historical and Fine Canadian Art is represented by Captain Alexander McNeilledge, William Edgar Cantelon, Atkinson, Barker Fairley and Cornelius Krieghoff to name a few. Decoys are represented by carvers from Ontario, Quebec and the East Coast with important carvers represented - Charlie Reeves, Davey Nichol, Billy Ellis, Lindsey Levy, Bill Cooper and many more. Original trade signs are becoming harder and harder to find - look no further with strong figural examples boasting incredible provenance. Though small in number, there are three fine examples of clocks by Orkney, Bellerose, and Ardouin. Native art from bead work to fine prints by Kenojuak Ashevak, and East Coast folk treasures including a nice offering of crooked knives and beaver items that were part of Cathy Consentino?s treasured collection. We are always honoured to be trusted with these important collections - there is something for discerning collectors across so many categories.
