Our December 5th auction brings together a wide-ranging collection of fashion, needlework, and keepsakes, with something for nearly every collector. Leading the sale is a fine group of Hermès silk carrés and shawls, many still in their original orange boxes, along with Hermès and Louis Vuitton small leather goods and designer scarves by Cartier, Burberrys, and Ferragamo. Needlework collectors will find English schoolgirl samplers dated from 1797 to 1848, as well as a substantial reference library on samplers, quilts, and textile history. The sale also includes a large archive of 19th-century photography and roughly sixty autograph albums dating from the 1830s through the 1940s. Rounding out the auction are vintage, sterling, and signed costume jewelry, including Chanel, Kenneth Jay Lane, and Trifari, plus antique evening bags, purses, and vanity accessories. There are also sewing tools, thimbles, and button collections, along with a 1947 Singer Featherweight, 1960s Barbie family dolls and outfits, and tin litho toys and action figures. Finally, the sale offers antique and world coins, along with Americana and militaria such as railroad, first aid, and Old West items. As always, every lot is packed and shipped in house.
