Not Just Another On-Site Estate Sale
photograph by Lincoln Russell
This is not a yard sale posing as an estate sale, it’s the real thing, where we get to wander through a large, beautiful, nearly-empty house, picking through the evidence of lives well-lived, in the hope of taking something life-enhancing home. Between Thursday and Saturday (maybe Sunday, too, if there’s anything left), Sawyer Antiques of West Stockbridge will conduct the on-site sale of an enormous range of furniture, art, linens, ceramics, silver plate (see examples of all these, below), decorative accessories (18th- and 19th-century andirons, brass fireplace fenders, hall lanterns, gilt valances with tie backs, Chinese lamps); cooking equipment (Le Creuset, fish poachers, casseroles, hundreds of dishes, sets of glasses and stemware); 165+ linear feet of books, several signed by the author; designer handbags (Chanel, Hermes, Gucci), and clothes (Pucci, Burberry), etc., etc. Whether we score something lofty, such as a Russian icon (see Home page), or something mundane, such as some well-broken-in Le Creuset, we will always remember the context of its former life.
