Thank you for joining us for A Lifetime of Discovery, presented by A Cut Above Auction. This catalog represents the beginning of something much larger—a continuing exploration of remarkable objects gathered over decades from collections around the world.

The majority of our upcoming auctions will continue to feature material from a remarkable private collection assembled over more than six decades by a dedicated dealer and collector. We will also periodically present carefully selected consignments from other private collections and estates that complement the quality and character of our sales.

Our goal is to maintain a regular auction schedule of approximately one sale every six weeks. Rather than waiting until every lot is finalized, our catalogs will often open with an initial group of carefully selected pieces and continue to grow as additional objects are researched, photographed, and cataloged.

If you plan to participate in an upcoming auction, we encourage you to check back frequently—especially during the two weeks before the sale, when the catalog is typically complete and locked. New highlights are often added throughout the catalog-building process, and some of the most exciting discoveries may appear later than the opening day.

Above all, we hope you enjoy the excitement of the hunt as much as we do. One of the great pleasures of this business is that you never know what the next collection, estate, or forgotten treasure will reveal.

Be sure to follow A Cut Above Auction, save us as one of your favorite auction houses, and watch for future sales. We have only just begun, and we look forward to sharing many more extraordinary discoveries with you.
