Premier Adirondack Auction

Blanchards Auction Service

This year's auction presents one of the most significant offerings of Adirondack furnishings to reach the market in recent years. The remarkable Whitney/Vanderbilt Collection from historic Whitney Park. The collection features original Great Camp furnishings, guideboats, and decorative arts from one of the Adirondacks' most legendary private estates. Whitney Park, established by financier William C. Whitney in the late 19th century and later stewarded by the Whitney and Vanderbilt families, has long been regarded as one of the most iconic and historically important estates in the Adirondacks.
