This lovely Ponte Vedra Estate backs up to gorgeous marshlands and offers an iconic Florida ambiance.  The spacious, traditional home is for sale and is the perfect canvas for the incredible collection of antiques, fine furnishings, art, silver, and collectibles housed within. The estate is really two in one, as the gentleman inherited the collection of his mother, (a Grosse Pointe, Michigan debutante in the 1930’s) in addition to amassing his own souvenirs from a life filled with travel, sportsmanship, adventure and a true eye for quality.

With all due respect to the gentleman who e-mailed me complaining about the unnecessary, distracting and unprofessional nature of my pictorial descriptions, I will allow this Ansonoia Pizarro and Cortez mantle clock (c.1895) , along with the quiet backdrop of this antique rug,  give a Regency Style nod to this 1920's mahogany drop leaf table with satinwood inlays then  receive a little back up by the precise needlework on these Period balloon chairs. Sigh...the pieces in this sale REALLY do speak for themselves. Of course, there is so much I want to say about this photo I took in the early days of the sale prep..the antique Royal Worcester with 8 nine piece place settings, the flawless (I believe French) set of 10 crystal wine glasses, the perfect 19th century English mahogany dining table that very comfortably sits 8 (and a few more "pull ups" for the little ones), evidenced by this set of six vintage lath back mahogany side chairs plus two arm chairs.  Okay, Jay bought a new toy with panoramic capabilities.  (So far, I am not a big fan!) But this home (backing up to a preserve) is expansive, bright and gorgeous...but presents a real glare issue.  Still, this living room set is practically a give away...not to mention the couch is a hide-a-way!More glare issues,  but this stairwell gallery wall has stunning, well preserved signed prints and engravings, including signed and numbered C. Ford Riley's, Audubon engravings, a lovely Weisling and more!Close to pristine Ethan Allen marine blue sofa with nail head trim...this is the perfect transitional style sofa..comfortable enough for napping and binge watching Netflix...but impressive enough for mother-in-laws. I spent hours searching for this Royal Worcester pattern... close, but nothing exact...8 nine piece place settings...imagine it paired with RW Marquis or vintage French Haviland during the holidays...STUNNING!Such a coincidence...from the day we walked into the house, I called this rug my "Sad Shah on a Kerman", because I had never experienced an antique pictorial carpet quite like it...later I found an old appraisal identifying it as a "Tabriz".  But yesterday, my new rug guy tells me it is a "Kermanshah"!  I was right (sort of) from the beginning..at least that it was sad...there is old evidence of a small dog that that at some point appreciated this exquisite rug as well...and the price reflects.  Found on a rather stressful, rainy day...a pristine set of vintage Fornasetti Milano Musicaliq coasters...believe it or not, the sun came out the moment I pulled them out of a lower kitchen cabinet.
