Estate In Time® Incredible Scottsdale Estate Sale

Some estate sales are simply shopped. Others are explored.

This Scottsdale estate sale, hosted by Estate in Time, LLC from May 28–30, is one of those rare events where the home seems to reveal itself slowly, room by room, layer by layer. It is elegant, collected, artistic, and wonderfully unexpected — the kind of sale where you may come for the fine art, pause over the rugs, lose track of time in the closets, and then find yourself completely charmed by a French case clock, a piece of Lalique, or a curious 1953 Egyptian share certificate tucked among the treasures.

The art gives the home its first sense of romance and intrigue. Original oils, lithographs, sculpture, and vintage works on paper create the atmosphere of a private collection gathered with real interest and feeling. A luminous work by Vittorio Dangelico “Vidan” brings softness and beauty, while pieces connected to Willi Bauer and Lucien Delarue add the charm of European streets, figures, and color. Sculpture lovers will want to look closely for the strength and emotion of Frederick Hart, the striking character of Anthony Redmile, and the presence of works associated with Jules Bonheur, Mark McMahon, G.H. Boughton, Theo Rauscher, and John Waterhouse. And then, adding a wonderful historic note, there are vintage etchings after DaVinci and Rembrandt — the kind of pieces that make collectors lean in for a closer look.

The rooms themselves feel richly layered, as though every space has been carefully lived in and thoughtfully assembled. Fine silk and wool Persian, Tabriz, and Pakistani rugs bring warmth, movement, and color underfoot, while beautiful furnishings from Maitland-Smith, Frederick Cooper, Henredon, Baker Furniture, and Milo Baughman add elegance, craftsmanship, and design interest throughout the home. There is a wonderful balance here between traditional refinement and modern line — the sort of mix that makes a room feel collected rather than decorated.

As you move farther into the sale, the details begin to sparkle. A glimmer of Tiffany & Co., the clarity of Waterford, the elegance of Baccarat, the sculptural beauty of Lalique, and the color and artistry of Murano glass create moments of discovery in cabinets, on tables, and throughout the décor. Swarovski, Majolica, and Francis Von Tury pieces add even more personality, while the clocks bring a sense of old-world charm and rhythm to the home. From John Hartman to Ansonia, and especially the French case clock with stand, these are pieces that do more than tell time — they anchor a room with history and presence.

Then the sale takes another wonderful turn into fashion. The closets feel like opening the wardrobe of someone who appreciated quality, drama, tailoring, and personal style. There is the classic polish of Burberry, the refined menswear of Brioni and Oxxford Clothing, the Italian luxury of Tod’s and Loro Piana, and the bold designer presence of Balmain, Zandra Rhodes, Christian Lacroix, St. John, Guy Laroche, Rickie Freeman, Raoul Arango, Victoria Royal, Sully Bonnelly, Nolan Miller, and Scaasi Furs. It is glamorous, wearable, collectible, and full of pieces that deserve time, attention, and a little imagination.

Even the kitchen feels like part of the story. This is not just a room of practical items; it is a kitchen filled with the tools and pleasures of cooking and entertaining beautifully. French copper pots and pans, All-Clad, a Wüsthof knife set, International stainless flatware, an Alessi teapot, and a Couzon champagne bucket sit comfortably alongside Italian Caleca porcelains, Fitz and Floyd, majolica stoneware, a gelato machine, and a Cuisinart deluxe pasta maker. It is easy to imagine these pieces moving from a working kitchen to a generous table, from everyday meals to evenings made just a little more special.

And just when you think you have the sale figured out, it surprises you again. An industrial Union Special sewing machine adds an unexpected mechanical edge, while vintage Hartmann and Tumi luggage hint at a life of travel and movement. Christopher Radko Christmas ornaments bring color and nostalgia, a brass counterweight scale offers sculptural charm, and an 1885 cast iron fireback sign gives the sale a wonderfully historic, architectural feel. These are the pieces estate sale shoppers love most — the finds that do not announce themselves all at once, but reward the person who looks carefully.

This is a Scottsdale estate sale with art, elegance, fashion, history, function, and surprise woven throughout every room. It is not a quick stop; it is an event to experience slowly.

Take some time off work, bring a friend, stay a while, and enjoy the hunt.

We appreciate your business and patronage. Drive safe, and we look forward to seeing you May 28–30.
