FULL DETAILS HERE

Step inside a grand Federal home and explore the contents of a life thoughtfully collected over generations.

This estate sale features a distinctive mix of traditional furnishings, French Country pieces, personal libraries, and unexpected statement items — each with its own story.

Among the standout pieces is a striking Vintage Gilbert & Barker Gas Pump (Springfield, Massachusetts) — a rare industrial relic that makes a bold statement for collectors, restorers, or decorative use.

Inside the home, substantial wood furniture anchors the sale, including a beautifully crafted Harden china cabinet, a vintage French Country walnut armoire, a marble-top curved chest, carved dining chairs with needlepoint seats, a rustic pine dry sink, and a classic drop-leaf table with barley twist legs. A slant-front writing desk and several accent tables round out the offerings.

The library reflects a lifetime of study, with extensive legal law book collections and shelves of hardcovers and films. Musical interests add another layer with a Ludwig drum set, electric guitar, and recording equipment.

Throughout the home you’ll also find:

  • Artwork, mirrors, and mantel décor

  • China, glassware, and Staub cast iron cookware

  • Upholstered seating and occasional furniture

  • Electronics and retro gaming items

  • Men’s and women’s clothing and outerwear

  • Fireplace screen and tool set

The garage includes practical items such as workshop pieces, a vintage ladder, hand truck, elliptical machine, window A/C units — and of course, the vintage gas pump.

This is a sale with character — select furniture, meaningful collections, and a few unexpected pieces that make it memorable.

We look forward to seeing you there.
