Our autumn sale merges two special collections, providing a snapshot of eclectic 19th century tastes in furniture and decorative arts. The first is a curated selection from the Townshend Estate of New Haven, which was occupied continuously by the Townshend family for over 200 years. This collection includes Victorian furniture, fine paintings, and European porcelain. In addition, a collection from a New England Institution features Russian and Viennese enamels, fine art glass highlighted by Webb and Tiffany, bronzes, and a selection of Asian works of art.
