Rago’s Discovery Auctions are for discerning buyers scouting out priced-to-sell furnishings for a home or office, adding to a collection or seeking saleable property for a shop. Rago’s Discovery Auctions sell property from high-end homes and estates or Rago’s Walk-In Appraisal Days. There’s something for everyone: traditional and modern furniture, Americana, art, rugs, couture, tribal, ceramics; 19th century to 21st century. Nothing is reserved, so the high bid always takes the prize.
“The Discovery sales are the way great country auctions used to be – but with a far cooler selection of anything, from Roy Lichtenstein artwork to Tiffany silver, George Ohr pottery to Philippe Starck furniture,” said David Rago.
Telephone, absentee and online bidding available for those unable to attend.
Previews are being conducted daily through Thursday, Jan. 13, from noon-5 p.m. or by appointment. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the sale.
