Our May 1st auction features ancient relics, modern furniture and decor, antique bronze sculptures, fine art, gemstones, jewelry, and sterling silver from South Florida and Palm Beach estates.
Our oldest item in the sale is a pedestal mounted stone Buddha head, recovered from Thailand’s Ayuthia Period, 1450 AD. Interestingly, this is the oldest item our auctioneer Mark has sold! The earliest Buddhist texts date from around 1st Century CE, but not all religions are quite so ancient.
Up for auction are framed pieces of Mormon history. Mormonism was founded by Joseph Smith in upstate New York in the 1920’s. From the Toronto estate of Dorothy Kopper Seixas, a lot of four 19th Century miniature portraits on Ivory depicting Joshua James Seixas and his family.
