Unveiling a Masterpiece of Contrasts: From Italian Marble to Vintage Tractor Watch Fobs

Step into a world where refined elegance shakes hands with rugged history in an event that defies the ordinary. This auction presents a rare opportunity to acquire items that span the full spectrum of collectability, bringing together the delicate artistry of European masters and the industrious spirit of the American heartland in one spectacular showcase.

The catalog opens with an exquisite array of fine art, led by a breathtaking Italian Marble Lace Bust and Mathurin Moreau bronze sculptures that exude classical beauty. Collectors of fine porcelain will find delight in the whimsical world of Greenwich Workshop figurines and timeless Lladro creations, while those drawn to nature can look forward to a flock of life-size bronze garden cranes and statues ready to transform any landscape. Shifting gears to mechanical marvels, the auction boasts an impressive assembly of agricultural history. A massive collection of vintage watch fobs—many featuring iconic John Deere branding—sits alongside detailed tractor models, steam engines, and enamel signs, offering a treasure trove for the dedicated hobbyist. The selection is rounded out by grand Brunswick pool tables and unique decor, ensuring there is a statement piece for every room.

Whether you are Chasing History through the intricate details of a marble carving or the nostalgic logo on a vintage watch fob, these items tell powerful stories of the past. They are not merely objects; they are tangible connections to eras of unparalleled craftsmanship and industrial innovation, waiting to become the next cherished heirloom in your family.
