- You can still find a great piece of furniture or rug that I’ve personally kept in one of my homes and have it for yourself. Here I am with Pam Stone, owner of The Benefit Shop Foundation, Inc. the organization hosting my auction next week. The auction is a great way for anyone from across the country, and around the world, to bid and purchase something left over from my Great American Tag Sale.
-
- Some of the items on the auction block include this vintage painted wicker chair with decorative cushions. An auction is a sales event wherein potential buyers place competitive bids on the items they wish to purchase. The item is then sold to the highest bidder.
-
- Remember these Martha by Mail lanterns? They’re also up for auction!
-
- And so are these wicker side chairs – they come in sets of eight or sets of four.
-
- This is an antique bamboo table with a woven rattan top… it’s up for auction. Online auctions allow participants to bid on items remotely. These auctions also include multiple photos, so pieces can be seen closely and in various views.
-
- This is a Martha Stewart Bernhardt three-drawer sideboard. It’s also up for auction. I wonder how much it will fetch!
-
- Here is a fun set of four mid-century modern gazelle chairs from Shelby Williams. Shelby Williams has been a leader in the commercial furniture industry for more that 70-years.
-
- All the pieces headed for auction are gathered under the large tag sale tent ready to be loaded onto the trucks.
-
- I also had lots of books up for auction…
-
- … including encyclopedias! These books are still so useful and interesting!
-
- Here is Pam sitting in my old makeup chair from my television studio. It’s a Takara Belmont leather chair – now up for auction.
-
- Each piece is carefully loaded onto the truck. In all, there was enough for seven truckloads.
-
- One truckload was just for chairs.
-
- This is Irving Sanchez from The Benefit Shop Foundation helping to unload some of the bins of holiday decorations at the nearby Mt. Kisco gallery.
-
- All the furniture was then safely grouped indoors.
-
- Here is a stack of colorful vintage rag rugs… all up for auction.
-
- Irving and Miranda Crifo start “lotting” the pieces from my collection. A “lot” is any item or group of items presented for bids.
-
- This antique French tapestry fireplace screen is tagged for auction as one lot.
-
- And so is this antique yellow two-piece cabinet hutch.
-
- It took quite a bit of time to also work through all the books, but every single one was logged and photographed.
-
- Here is the entire Benefit Shop Foundation Team – posing with their auction sign. For my auction, we have a total of 618 lots!
-
