Exceptional Estate Sale in Wild Oak

Please note the dates! The sale starts on Thursday May 1st at noon. Many more photos will be added between now and then.

NO EARLY SALES! NO PRICES QUOTED PRIOR TO OPENING!

This sale is in a lovely home in the Wild Oak neighborhood, near Norris Ferry and Overton Brooks. The lady of the house was a world traveler and careful collector of quality furniture, art, and decor. The photos speak more than my words ever could, but I will list some highlights!

The star of the show is a 19th century cast iron sugar kettle. Measuring just over 55" in diameter, this massive piece was made by Leeds & Co. in New Orleans. The name can be found embossed on the flared rim. If you have been searching for an authentic Louisiana sugar kettle, this is the one. You will not likely see another one for sale anytime soon.
