SONIAT ESTATE SALE

COLORFUL & ECLECTIC COLLECTION

Join us October 17-18 for the colorful and eclectic estate of Carol Susman, longtime New Orleans collector, dealer, shop owner and friends of the arts.

Carol Susman owned The Quarterstich in Jackson Square in the 1970’s before opening C. Susman Antiques and Collectibles on Magazine Street. She acquired most of her personal collection from Blackamore Antiques and estate sales dating back to the 1970’s. Carol was close friends with George Febres and so many other artists of the time in New Orleans.

This sale features a very diverse mix of 18th, 19th and 20th c. antique furniture, Asian, African and South American cultural objects, fabulous collection of jewelry, art and collectibles and so much more! There is so much in this sale! We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. Check back through the week for updates and additional photos.
