Preview July 28th, July 29th, & July 30th 12pm to 4pm and July 31st from 8:30am to 10:00am
We are honored to present the life-long curated collection of the late Lisa Whittington. Lisa’s love of, and keen eye for collecting is best captured in Kathy Schoemer’s letter written to the readers of MAD.
There are very few people who instinctively possess that elusive taste for selecting the best of kind. She did, and understood the value of beautiful things. As a dealer, she helped countless people gather collections, placing every object, providing every detail. She had a devoted following of alert collectors who spotted her genius and entrusted her with guiding them in their search. She knew paint surfaces like the back of her hand. The years she and Dick spent in the English countryside enriched her talents, adding the folk art of Great Britain to her areas of expertise. Lisa just kept growing in her knowledge and awareness until she possessed a vast understanding of the heart of antiques collecting. And...she always shared, guided by that generous spirit of hers.
This live auction features over 400 lots of wonderful country furniture and colorful accessories. Another 300 lots from Lisa’s collection will be up for bidding in our timed auction, running for 10 days in conjunction with this live event.
