Alderfer Auction presents an online Estate Sale in Doylestown featuring an array of vintage and antique items, featuring furniture, artwork, and decorative pieces from various eras.
Bid online now through Monday, July 8th at alderferauction.com. This auction will begin closing at 8:00 PM at a rate of 5 lots per minute.
The furniture collection includes several notable pieces. A highlight is an early Nakashima single Shoji door panel with geometric grillework, crafted for the wife of the American Ambassador to Japan. Mid-century modern enthusiasts will appreciate the selection of Thonet bentwood chairs and benches with original vinyl upholstery. For those seeking rustic charm, there's a punched tin pie safe and a butcher block cart on casters.
Art collectors will find a diverse selection of paintings and prints. Abstract expressionist works, landscapes, and still lifes are among the offerings. A unique piece is a double-sided oil on canvas featuring a Central Park scene on one side and a figurative painting on the reverse. The auction also includes a variety of frames, from ornate gilt wood to simple wooden styles.
Antique furniture pieces add character to the collection. A Victorian parlor rocker, a settle bench with hand-painted scenes, and a curved glass curio cabinet showcase craftsmanship from bygone eras. An antique bookcase with glass doors and multiple drawers offers both storage and display possibilities.
For
those interested in Asian-inspired decor, the auction features Chinoiserie
chairs, a Chinese Ming style armchair, and an eight-panel hand-painted Asian
screen. A Baker Furniture Chinoiserie dresser combines Eastern aesthetics with
Western craftsmanship.
Unique items like a vintage Roberts &
Mander gas oven, a cast iron King Stove, and an antique cast iron book binder
press add industrial flair to the mix.
Outdoor
enthusiasts might be drawn to the Farmall 200 tractor with trailer or the
concrete garden furniture.
