“Auction One: The Opening of the Cabinet”

Dive into a lifetime of collecting, curating, and quiet admiration for the rare and remarkable. This estate auction marks the first chapter in a multi-part series celebrating a couple whose passion for history, craftsmanship, and cultural beauty spanned continents and centuries.

From motor vehicles with stories under their hoods to towering Red Wing crocks that once stood sentinel in farmhouse kitchens, every item in this collection whispers of a time when objects were made to last—and cherished for a lifetime. You'll find early to mid-century jewelry that sparkles with nostalgia, beaded flapper purses that danced through jazz-age evenings, and collectible figures that once adorned mantels and curio cabinets with pride.

The glassware alone is a symphony of shimmer and glow: Depression-era carnival glass, uranium green glass, and crystal pieces that catch the light—and the heart. Add to that a trove of Eastern European treasures, each one a portal to folk traditions, craftsmanship, and regional charm.

This is not just an auction—it’s a curated experience of eclectic relics, hard-to-find heirlooms, and vintage delights from the 19th and 20th centuries. Whether you're a seasoned collector, a decorator with an eye for the unusual, or someone seeking a tangible piece of the past, this sale offers something rare: authenticity, story, and soul.

And we’re just beginning. This is Auction One of several from this extraordinary estate. Each future release will unveil new layers of legacy, artistry, and surprise.

Let the discovery begin.
