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.
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.
The Curious Cat found itself in Danvers at a delightful Bohemian Post and Beam home. The interior was a artists dream home covered in artwork, stained glass, stained glass chandeliers, Native American collectibles, and toys. While held on a very cold weekend in mid November, the turnout was very good and many of our customers were swayed by the charm of the home
