Fontaine’s has another one of their Exceptional Antique Auctions coming up this weekend and there are many great Victorian pieces to be aware of.  Live bidding will be provided by Artfact Live! I wish they had excluded the Allen & Brother sofa from the sale.  Don’t they know to hold onto all Allen & Brother until I’m back in the market for some heavy-hitting Victorian pieces?  I don’t want to know!

The auction is featuring the living estate of Dale Miller of Asheville, NC and features over 450 items, including pieces attributed to Alexander Roux, John Henry Belter, R.J. Horner, J & JW Meeks and others. More information and a viewable catalog is available here.

There is some nice victorian wicker in this sale (see the last 60 or so lots).

Say, does anyone know what lot #216 (3 piece Karpen set) sold for today?

I wanted to bid on it, but they wouldn’t take it because I hadn’t registered by their deadline. Humph. Their loss I guess.

Thanks!
