The Curious Cat was in Andover in late October for a wonderful Estate Sale during the most beautiful part of the year. In the early 1920s American Woolen Company (re)built Shawsheen Village built on the site of the former Frye Village of Andover, Massachusetts, to house the company's middle to upper management, near the company headquarters. Many of the furnishings, collectibles and artwork were from that era. We had a wonderful time.
Welcome to a new year! The Curious Cat was in a
beautiful part of Lynnfield. While cold and windy
we had nearly 200 visitors over the weekend including
many of our friends and regulars The home featured
many mid century Items including furnishings, rugs,
many pieces of artwork, lamps, glassware and silver.
Over the last 10 years this sale will go down as one of our top three sales. The nondescript house was home to a very talented and intelligent woman. This was obvious to anyone who simply gazed around the home. She loved Jewelry, both fine and costume, she loved to read, the house had a thousand books, she loved vintage furnishings, Eames chair, Italian lounges. She loved glassware and china and she loved artwork, especially Native and the Southwest. The home was so full of items we extended the sale past the normal two day sale to a two day plus an evening sale. This will always be a very memorable sale for the Curious Cat.
One of our top Estate Sales took place on a beautiful weekend awash in autumn colors. The home was spectacular with over the top glassware, artwork, furnishings, mirrors, collectibles, lawn ornaments, vintage dolls, a ton of Christmas decorations. Needless to say we were kept very busy as the sale was very popular with our friends.
