Featuring a great selection of estate fresh merchandise, the sale opens with 56 lots of fountain pens most sold in large groups all from the estate collection of "A Fine Italian Hand" restoration service.

A Larchmont NY estate yields lots for both sessions with the session one focus on a fine pair of Tommy Parzinger consoles in burl with a pair of mirrors, a Tiffany chiming tall clock, an excellent exotic veneer and aluminum Art Deco desk as well as mid century lighting and a Steinway Model M grand. A trip to Engelwood NJ yielded a trove of quality furnishings for Session 2 and a large gilt signed Grady and McKeever frame and three Fender guitars including a Stratocaster for the first. A closet in an 18th century center hall colonial in nearby Chelsea NY surprised when two large photographs surfaced by Bert Stern; a ballerina and a great Marilyn Monroe. Some interesting Chinese items, Baccarat, Lalique, Venetian glass, Minton, Coalport and other 'fancy' lots are mixed throughout other bronzes and an exceptional near mint Louis Vuitton fitted steamer.
