I was recently invited to preview an estate sale in a nearby beach community. So today, I took some time to carefully look through a collection that was 50 years in the making. I saw stunning 19th century clocks (over 70 of them) in all shapes and sizes. There were dozens of Black Forest carved wood clocks and French gilt and porcelain clocks.
I saw hundreds of pieces of chintz china along with dozens and dozens of vintage tole painted trays.
There
were treasures every where I looked. I made lists and checked them twice. I came up with a plan of action, what I will buy, where I will use it and what I can pay for it.
Then I came upon my favorite treasures of the estate. . . antique hand-carved Black Forest hand mirrors. Each mirror was a work of art, they featured oak leaves, acorns, roses, squirrels, pheasants and so many more exquisite details. It was a lovely afternoon, full of beautiful, unique antiques and vintage wares. The sale is scheduled to be held in two weeks. I will keep you posted.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jeff.
I collect rare and unusual black forest clocks, and cuckoo clocks. Also clocks with automation, monks, soldiers, exposed birds, singing birds, trumpeter clocks, flute clocks organ clocks, old shield cuckoos, musical clocks, and ornately carved german clocks. I am wondering if you have any like this or perhaps know where any are that i could inquire about.
