PHILADELPHIA – Kamelot Auctions will close out 2019 with four auctions during the month of November, including Selections from the Collector’s Vault, Continental & Victorian Furniture, Marketplace and Mid Mod.

Absentee and Internet live bidding is available through LiveAuctioneers.
This series of sales will begin on Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. Eastern time with Selections from the Collector’s Vault. Among the most exciting items is Lot 19, a Steinway Model C mahogany grand piano (above), which is expected to bring $12,000-$18,000. French furniture will be heavily featured in this sale, including pieces by Jansen and Bagues, such as a pair of giltwood vitrines in lot 107 and a bronze coffee table in Lot 11.
