Autumn Antique Showcase

-Live and Simulcast Online-

In the hushed corners of history, where time stands still, the Autumn Antique Showcase 2023 beckons those with a keen eye and a soul yearning for tales of yore. Each artifact, a chapter from a novel of human artistry, awaits its next steward.

Imagine, if you will, a crisp autumn morning. Sunlight filters through the trees, painting patterns on Captain George Gibbs' Long-billed Curlew. Its delicate form seems to come alive, resonating with tales from an age long past. Just a few steps away, the Slant Top Red Mulberry William and Mary Desk stands—a silent testament to artisans who once worked by candlelight, their legacy living on in every meticulous detail.

The distant echoes of the revolutionaries of 1775 can be felt as you behold the Powder Horn and Print of The Able Doctor. It’s more than just an artifact; it’s a proclamation of the human spirit and tenacity. Meanwhile, the tranquility of William Glackens' French Landscape invites you to linger, drawing you into its serene vistas.

But amidst these treasures, a heart beats—a retired Cornell professor whose life has been intertwined with antiques. Each item is not merely a collectible, but a cherished memory, an embodiment of his grandmother's tales, of days spent lost in the corridors of museums, of a love for history that transcends time.

Now, he extends an invitation—not just to view or to bid—but to feel, to be moved, to be a part of this ongoing narrative. It’s not just about owning a piece of the past; it’s about inheriting a story, becoming part of a legacy. The Autumn Antique Showcase isn't merely an auction; it's a rendezvous with history, a dance with time. And for those who truly understand its value, it's a call to continue the narrative, to be a keeper of stories. Will you answer?
