Estate Sale of Grant’s Tomb Architect John Duncan’s Descendants

We are currently seeking a qualified buyer interested in acquiring the entire contents of the estate in one purchase. After discussing with the family, they are willing to accept $15,000 all for all small household contents, including all content in the house, garage, garden, and even the limestone benches and urn.

Shopping Spree. 

This is a rare opportunity for collectors, decorators, or resellers to secure a significant volume of estate-quality goods at a price point that offers immediate equity and resale potential.

To prioritize serious bulk interest, Saturday’s appointments will be reserved exclusively for potential lot buyers. Based on where things stand at the end of the day Saturday, we will then consider opening Sunday for general appointments to sell remaining or individual items, if a bulk sale is not finalized.

Thank you for taking the time to review this unique estate opportunity

READ ENTIRE AD PLEASE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Saturday, Sunday & Monday – Levittown, NY

I’ve been hired to liquidate the personal estate of a direct descendant of President John Adams and John Duncan, the famed architect of Grant’s Tomb and many other iconic NYC buildings—along with his wife Dora Duncan, who moved in the same creative circles as Louis Comfort Tiffany himself.

The contents of this Levittown home come from generations of inheritance, originally from the Duncans’ Manhattan apartment and Seabright, NJ estate. Many of the antiques still match black-and-white photos from their original rooms and gardens. This collection is not only extensive—it’s a living archive of American history and decorative arts.

✨ HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

• Louis Comfort Tiffany Signed Favrile Art Glass

• Tiffany & Co. Marble & Bronze Clock with a sword-wielding bronze figure

• Dozens of silver-plated serving pieces and candelabras, many monogrammed “DD” for Dora Duncan

• Hundreds of fine china pieces, crystal drinkware, decanters, Murano glass (including a clown, bird, and fish)

• Massive antique doll collection, vintage linens, and clothing

• Early tabletop Victrola, with a beautiful working horn and full set of 78s

• Stacks of LPs & 45s, working amp and turntable

• Antique architectural elements from Seabright & NYC residences

• Two massive limestone garden benches with dragon pedestals

• Stone urn, crystal platters, pleated silver flatware, bronze fireplace andirons, stoneware jugs, and antique pottery

• Craftsman toolbox, gas generator, power washer, cast aluminum patio set, stainless BBQ grill

• Three mink coats with receipts and professional appraisals
