This is an amazing sale. As we processed the lots, we couldn't help but imagine the life enjoyed by the previous owner. The amazing pieces up for auction tell a story of luxury, taste, and sophistication. Here's an interesting story about the collection: The client, let's call him Mr. Smith, was a successful businessman who had a passion for collecting fine things like art, antiques to fine household items. He traveled the world, searching for and and enjoying beautiful pieces. His collection included everything from Russian samovars to Lalique crystal to Baccarat crystal. Mr. Smith's collection was more than just a collection of objects. It was a reflection of his life and his taste. He loved to entertain, and his home was always filled with friends and family. The abundance of items reveal a life of exuberance. Now, Mr. Smith's collection is up for auction. This is your chance to own a piece of history and to experience the same sense of luxury and sophistication that Mr. Smith did. Don't miss your chance to bid on these amazing pieces, many preserved after opening and some items next to new albeit vintage. The Smith story is that the family arrived in the United States with little more than the clothes on their backs and a brass samovar. They had fled Russia after the revolution, and they were starting their lives over in a new country. The samovar was a precious heirloom, and it had been in the Smith family for generations. It was a symbol of their heritage and their culture, and it gave them comfort in their new home. The Smiths worked hard, and they eventually became successful. They built a business, they raised a family, and they became part of the American dream. As the years went by, the Smiths realized it is time to downsize their belongings. They no longer needed the samovar, but they couldn't bear to part with it. They decided to auction it off, so that it could find a new home where it would be cherished. The auction starts on July 10th, and it's your chance to own a piece of history. The samovar is just one of the fabulous goods that will be up for auction. There's also a fabulous fox fur coat, a set of Baccarat glasses, some Lalique crystal, and a Le Creuset cookware, lots of art, costume jewelry, entertaining items, a jukebox, the MCM designer furniture of thayer Coggin. These items are more than just material possessions. They are a connection to the Smith family's past, and they represent the stories of their ancestors. Imagine owning a piece of history that has either been passed down for generations or was bought at a high end store because the family had "arrived". Imagine the sense of nostalgia and grace you will feel as you use these items. The auction is a bittersweet occasion. It's a way for the Smith family to say goodbye to their old life, but it's also a way to celebrate their success.
