Description & Details

Mid-Atlantic Auction is pleased to present the estate of Martha T. McKinnon.   A former longtime Princeton resident, she was a woman of impeccable taste and a deep passion for the finer things in life. There are over 550 unreserved lots.  The collection is rich in 18th and 19th century Continental furniture, paintings and decorative arts with an emphasis on French material.  Other categories of note include a fine collection of sporting art, old master paintings, period lighting, a large library including fine bindings, an extensive collection of antique Garden furniture and decorations, Chinese & European porcelains and glassware, 18th and early 19th century English and American furniture, a fine collection of English & American portraits, fine carpets, clocks, antique prints, a walk in safe with Georgian silver and silverplate,  and a closet full of bolts of fabric.  Martha attended Vassar College, earned a BA degree from Hunter College, and a degree in interior design from Parsons School of Design. She was an interior designer, an avid gardener, and collector of antiques who loved historic houses.  Martha’s purchase of “Chevannes”, modeled after Bois-des-Fosses, the ancestral du Pont family home near Chevannes, France provided the perfect backdrop for her lifelong collection of antiques.
