Order Of Sale Friday/Saturday Sessions
There is a large quantity of material which will require two days to liquidate. The logistics of removal from the house for sale are complicated. After careful consideration, we have decided to offer the contents by locations rather than strictly by item categories. It is not an exaggeration to say that we have been continuing to find quality items throughout the premises as the closets, carriage house and hundreds of stored boxes in both are opened and evaluated. There will be items in all categories offered on both days, and we strongly suggest that if possible you make plans to attend both sessions.
Day One – Friday: Second floor contents, country kitchen items, Christmas collection; contents of carriage house and apartment; selected other first floor items, primarily items from the country kitchen, the basement and the garage. Oriental rugs are being sold Saturday.
