Auction of The Contents of the Carmelite Monastery, Danvers, MA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kaminski Auctions to Feature Unique Artifacts from the Carmelite Nuns Monastery, Danvers, Massachusetts in Upcoming Auction

Beverly, Massachusetts – Kaminski Auctions is pleased to announce a unique on-site auction event on August 17, 2024, showcasing the extraordinary contents, garden ornaments, and stunning stained-glass windows of the monastery of the Carmelite Nuns located in Danvers, Massachusetts.

Established in 1958 on land formerly occupied by a golf course, the Danvers monastery was opened under the guidance of His Eminence Richard Cardinal Cushing, DD, LL.D. A year later, Bishop Fenwick High School was constructed on the adjacent property, which sits at the intersection of Danvers, Salem, and Peabody. The chapel of the monastery is now permanently closed, and this auction marks a rare opportunity to acquire items that once held sacred significance within its walls.

Kaminski Auctions will feature a range of notable items from the chapel, including large multi-sectional stained-glass windows, an elegant marble altar, various lighting fixtures, chalices, candlesticks, and monstrance's, alongside exquisite garden statuary. Many of these items reflect the Brutalist style, offering a unique appeal to mid-century collectors seeking distinctive pieces for their collections.

Please note that buyers will be responsible for the removal and associated costs of transporting purchased items. Kaminski Auctions will provide recommendations for two experienced companies specializing in glass removal and transport to facilitate this process.

The auction will take place at the Carmelite Monastery, 15 Mt Carmel Road, Danvers, MA, starting at 11:00 AM on Saturday, August 17th. Preview Information: The preview for this exciting auction will take place on August 14-16th, 2024 9:00AM-5:00PM at the monastery. Interested parties are encouraged to attend to experience the remarkable beauty and craftsmanship of these items firsthand.
