Also offered are several lots of Native American silver and turquoise jewelry.
According to owner/auctioneer Thomas Schwenke, the firm expects strong interest in a group of American furniture with Southern provenance, consigned by a Westchester County estate. The group includes a late 18th century Southern inlaid cherrywood Chippendale slant front desk with yellow pine secondary woods, ogee bracket feet and original hardware; a Hepplewhite cherrywood Southern huntboard; a Pennsylvania Sheraton tiger maple one drawer side table; a very rare Sheraton maple mixing table with turned, carved legs; and an inlaid walnut tall clock with painted dial and case with fluted quarter columns and an old finish, also probably Southern. English furniture includes a Regency round satinwood inlaid center table, and a Regency carved mahogany slab table. Among the revival furniture consigned for this auction is a striking gothic flat top writing table with extruded cluster column legs and carved frieze.
 The sale also features several pieces of modernist chrome and glass furniture, designer leather covered sofas, and numerous other eclectic items from local estates, including porcelains, glassware and decorations.
Asian items include a rare pair of small celadon jade bowls, an overlay snuff bottle, and a blue and white porcelain garden seat.
The catalog for the sale is viewable at www.woodburyauction.com. Absentee and phone bidding are available for this live gallery auction, and the sale will be broadcast live through Live Auctioneers. For information call Woodbury Auction at 203-266-0323.
