Important Canadiana & Folk Art Auction

It is with great pleasure that Pridham's Auctions & Appraisals is able to present the lifelong Collection of Barbara and William Leask of Oshawa, Ontario. Avid collectors for over 40 years, the Leasks played a significant role in the preservation of items pertaining to our physical history and shared interest in what makes us who we are today as Canadians. Central to their overall collection is an important selection of carvings and paintings by the highly regarded and much sought-after Ontario carver and painter, William Loney of Picton, Ontario. Furniture offerings originate from the Maritimes and Ontario along with important French furniture from Quebec. The sale is rounded out with additional, complementary inclusions from a small number of like-minded collectors. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge Andrew and J.D. Leask for their trust and understanding that was so evident from the time we first met and has continued through the auction process. I thank them for entrusting their family's collection to Pridham's, it has been an honour.
