SWANN ESTATE SALES - Lakewood Trails Sale

Please note the change in our usual schedule:

We are opening on THURSDAY.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday (May 25-27) from 10-4

This sale is really special. The estate of a gentleman who died just before his 95th birthday and who lived in this house since 1965.  A man of superior taste with excellent furniture and decor, especially his collection of Oriental decorative pieces and a pair of carved rosewood chairs that survived the burning of Chabersburg, PA by the Confederate Army in 1864!!  And ART.  There is so much original art and ephemera that it has spilled out into the garage. 

You’re going to love shopping this sale as much as we loved putting it together.
