Items of Value

     This sale offers you a variety of items including MANY modern Asian ones from rugs to pottery to embroidery, a collection of vintage and antique wall and mantle clocks, a collection of vintage mixing bowls and china, yard tools.  Now that the daffodils and forsythia are out, you are no doubt thinking about working in the yard.  You will find at this sale power yard tools, ladders, also plastic and metal shelving that you can certainly use.  If you prefer to go bike riding instead, we have a new man's bike for you.  Of interest to you who like vintage textiles, we offer a few clean vintage quilts and bed covers.  You will also find a room with child-size chairs and children's books signed by the author.  Since the interior of the house is going to be redone, we were allowed to add framed pictures.  So, you will find a lot of them on all three floors.  Who of you is going to take home the outdoor fountain of woman standing over a huge scallop shell or the outdoor wicker chairs to sit along with round stone mosaic patio tables?

     We have hung a Chinese silk carpet over the sofa in the living room and another one in the dining room.  The one in the dining room is splendid for its colors.  If you ever wanted a genuine kimono rack, we have one.  We have rehung much Asian art that was taken down, so take your time to look about you to make discoveries.  Note also that many of the prints are limited editions signed by the artist.  Look for the two vintage framed watercolors.  In the upstairs hallway, note the wall hangings.  You or your child might like the tapestry of the elephant.

     We have created a child's room with vintage rocking horse and child's dress form.  They stand among a variety of children's chairs.  We have put a vintage quilt and bed covers on the twin bed in that room.  Note the two very special paintings behind the bed.  We have put two sizes of bed steps there.  By the way, the framed mirror with reverse-painted glass in antique.  The framed travel poster of Hawaii is vintage, a real collector's item.

     There are so many men's and women's clothes that we brought in three more clothes racks to display them.  We have distributed the shoes (in fine condition) in two rooms for you.  You will find the purses in the master bedroom on a vintage highback upholstered chair with "shepherd's crook" arms.

     The dining room furniture is quality by Ethan Allen.  We have reset the table with a Noritake pattern dinnerware that we found in the house.  You will find three showcases in that room as well.  Look for the three Lladro figurines sitting on a large sturdy chest of drawers.  The matching cabinet is in the family room to the right of the fireplace.

     Where will you find the hand-painted relief-molded Herend vase?  Where will you find the two Tsuyoshi Matsumoto pictures?  Elephant stools and Chinese barrel-shape garden seats you will find in a few rooms.  They add color to the rooms as much as the faux plants add a feeling of warmth.  The Asian theme even continues outside on the large deck.  You will find a cast metal crane there as well.

     We decided to group the Marine Corps items together on the landing going downstairs.  We have the two military hats on display in the living room.  More small military items are in one of the three showcases.  We also have a "first" in our 44 years of doing sales.  It is a collection of small precision hand tools.  They were previously tagged with descriptions and prices by the owner.  Another showcase offers you myriad animal and small people figures.  However, you will not discover the three taxidermied fish until you reach the "man's cave" in the basement.  Note the rugs for sale in that room covering the FINE cherry wood flooring.

     To furnish your home office or study room, you might buy one of the small shelves on wheels, or the larger ones, or the two sizes of bookcases.  They are all teak-veneered and ready to go.  The upstairs study, which looks down on the family room, not only has 3 corduroy beanbags, it also has a small refrigerator plus large stand for a large flatscreen TV.  The chest freezer is in the garage.

     Unique items will entice you in the garage.  In addition to the antique cabbage slicer and the two ribbed glass washboards, look at the very large shaker-design hat box and the Victorian child's push-sleigh.  The brass trays and other brass items have been sprayed with lacquer so that you will not need to polish them.  Just enjoy them as they are.  In the study downstairs, you will find three large taxidermied fish, framed maps, and Christmas items.

    So come for a good time as well as learning experience.  Please bring canvas satchels with you.
