Wiregrass Estate Sales is very honored to have been chosen to liquidate an AMAZING estate in Troy, AL.  Mr. and Mrs. "G" have amassed a life-time collection of rare and beautiful things.  From furniture and décor items, to a vast array of jewelry and collectibles. 

Mr. G first approached us a year and a half ago to begin the process of hosting a sale for him and his wife.  Sadly, they both passed away before we could host it.  But now, we have been given the opportunity to host this fabulous sale through the heirs! 

Mr. G was totally devoted to his wife, and bought her everything she wanted.  The home is PACKED with so much stuff, that we are making this a 2 part sale.  The first sale will be in June, and the second sale will be in July. 

Just a teaser of things to come: fine vintage HUGE Waterford chandelier, life-size pair of Foo Lions, amazing lacquered breakfront, pair of Mies van de Rohe type cantilevered chairs, hundreds of pieces of costume jewelry, hundreds of pieces of very nice real jewelry, Waterford crystal collection, 1500+ cookbooks, statuary, majolica, collection of Bob Mackie clothing (New with tags), collection of Armani figurines, artwork galore, a very nice Lincoln Town Car and much more!

UPDATE 05.22.15: adding over 400 pictures today.  Pictures of the costume and real jewelry will be added soon, we are still processing it!

UPDATE 06.05.15: adding lots of jewelry photos.  Be sure to look at all of the photo, as some of the best stuff is at the bottom.
