BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Knoxville-based Case Antiques Inc. Auctions & Appraisals, one of the South’s leading firms for handling historic and high-end art and antiques, has opened an office at 116 Wilson Pike Circle, Suite 102, in Brentwood, Tenn., a Nashville suburb.

The office will handle consignments from Middle and West Tennessee, southern Kentucky and northern Alabama, along with appraisals, and will serve as a display gallery for featured lots from upcoming auctions. It will be under the direction of Sarah Campbell Drury, the company’s vice president for fine and decorative arts, who has represented the company in Nashville since 2009.

Drury is an accredited member of the International Society of Appraisers, specializing in fine art, antiques and residential contents. She has helped land several high profile consignments including the estates of Welling and Sally Lagrone and Margaret Wemyss Connor of Nashville, along with museum property deaccessioned by Nashville’s Cheekwood Museum of Art, Belmont Mansion, and Belle Meade Plantation.

One of the new location’s first functions will be a free auction evaluation day on Friday, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The new office will also host an evening showcasing featured items from the firm’s upcoming July 18 auction, including a carved limestone sculpture by William Edmondson of Nashville and a group of paintings being sold by the Birmingham Museum of Art. That event is scheduled for June 5.

Case markets its seasonal cataloged auctions internationally through digital, print, and social media, and counts China as its second-largest source of bidders (behind the United States).

Case’s live auctions – where bidders in the saleroom compete alongside bidders online and on multiple phone lines – consistently draw more than 2,700 registered bidders from 50 countries. The company was founded in Knoxville in 2005 by its president John Case, a member of the Appraisers Association of America and current chair of the Tennessee Executive Residence Preservation Foundation.
