Architectural Movement

Reserve Your Spot In Line:

https://pickerty.com/architectural-movement

There are estate sales — and then there are events that redefine what an estate sale can be.

Architectural Movement takes place within a remarkable historic residence on Chicago’s Near West Side, a home with its own architectural provenance and a collection to match. Inside, visitors step into a fully immersive environment where design, craftsmanship, and global collecting converge. This is not simply a sale — it is a curated experience.

From the moment you enter, the scale and depth of the collection are immediately apparent. Ornately carved Victorian pianos anchor light-filled rooms. Walls are hung salon-style with 19th-century European oils, impressionist works, and signed modern and contemporary pieces. Floors are layered with hand-knotted Persian and Caucasian rugs, each selected over decades of intentional collecting. Every space reflects a refined eye and a lifelong pursuit of meaningful objects.

The home itself plays a central role. Original architectural details including leaded glass panels, stained glass windows, craftsman oak doors, and cast iron elements; create a setting that elevates every piece within it. Period furniture spans major design movements, from Gothic Revival and Biedermeier to Federal, Arts and Crafts, and Mid-Century Modern, while decorative arts and lighting range from antique to contemporary, creating a seamless dialogue across eras.

A Curated Collection of Exceptional Range

The collection includes items spanning:

1. Fine art from the Renaissance through contemporary works
2. Antique and period furniture across multiple design movements
3. Architectural salvage including doors, glass panels, and hardware
4. A significant selection of Persian and Oriental rugs
5. Rare musical instruments, including multiple Victorian-era pianos
6. Decorative arts, lighting, and historically significant collectibles

This is not a home that was furnished, it was curated. Each object reflects intention, knowledge, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and design history.
