A Treat in Salem after Halloween
While a little outside of our normal area the Curious Cat was honored to help liquidate the home of Maestro L Paul Madore in Salem MA. After a local Estate Sale Company had to pull out of the sale due to timing issues they recommended us and we were able to work it into our schedule during a very busy time. The home was a veritable museum housing artwork and sculptress from around the world including Picasso, Dali, and Ouassa p.p.p. Though a small house it also was home to numerous carpets and furnishing garnered during his trips abroad. In the end this was a very successful sale and we wish the executor of the home many wonderful years in his friend's hime.
The Curious Cat was in Reading in late September during the most beautiful part of the year. Prized items included an electrified doll house, a wrought iron patio set, a saxophone and tons of Lenox and Waterford Crystal. We were also able to donate a number of items to one of our favorite charities. We are looking forward to two upcoming sales. One in a gorgeous tudor townhouse in Andover in late October and then a Bohemian classic in Danvers in early November. Hope to see many of our friends there.
Mid July found the Curious Cat in Andover for an eclectic home full of elephants, clocks, yard ornaments and other collectibles. The prize was a $4000 antique tiffany lamp. This was our eight sale this year. We prefer quality over quantity.
Wilmington was out destination in mid-June for a house and barn duo. The home boasted a ton of vinyl, likely the best lot of vinyl (both quality and quantity) we have seen at our sales. In addition, we had a dozen or more stereo items including turntables, receivers, tape decks and more. The home also had many tools, a bicycle, many wooden boxes as well as many vintage automobile plates. It was a fun sale!
