Astounding Estate Sale by Allen

Tulsa, OK 74120

Wednesday (8/5) through Wednesday (8/12)

8am-6pm

We’re excited to bring you the Estate Sale of one of the preeminent collectors of our region, the late antiques dealer, Dexter Moss. Located in Dexter’s historic oil mansion in Maple Ridge, in the heart of midtown Tulsa, OK, this one-of-a-kind Sale is not to be missed! Dexter had a keen eye and traveled all over the country to source rare finds. He collected, bought and sold for over fifty years, owning a shop on 15th Street. This sale contains many museum-quality pieces, many well over a century old. These are the items he personally chose to keep; his curated collection. Every single thing in this sale is either vintage or antique.

The house is PACKED (first floor, second floor, and basement), plus guest house, three-car garage, and front and backyard. Many Tulsans and collectors looked forward to his yearly sales, which included yard, garage, and sometimes (on a “good day”) his basement.

Due to the rarity of these breakable pieces, and that it’s such close quarters, please be mindful of small children. Strollers cannot fit inside the rooms (baby-wearing is encouraged). We always welcome our young shoppers, but this one will be challenging. Please no bulky backpacks or large handbags. Trust that you’ll understand when you’re inside the house.
