LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. – Over the weekend of Feb. 14-15, 2009, Sollo Rago Modern Auctions will introduce REAL MODERN, its first auction for the young buyer who wants to furnish an apartment with style without breaking the bank. The sale will consist of a large selection of affordable furniture and decorative arts for home and office by leading designers of the 20th century.
“I want to introduce and educate young people to the benefits of purchasing at auction,” said John Sollo, who runs Sollo Rago Modern Auctions. “I want them to know that they can get original pieces from great designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Florence Knoll, Herman Miller and Gustav Stickley for far less money than they’d pay for later editions and imitations at Design Within Reach, West Elm, Crate and Barrel or even Ikea. What we sell is authentic and eco-friendly and what you buy today can be re-sold for good money.”
