Welcome to a new year! The Curious Cat was visiting
a winter ice-covered wonderland in Boxford. Conditions
were difficult and we even considered cancelling the
Sunday sale but we did not and we were amazed at how
Many folks came out in less than ideal conditions!
The home featured some mid century Items including
furnishings, rugs, many pieces of artwork, lamps, collectibles,
glassware and silver.
On what ended up being the coldest and icyest day of the winter of 24-25 the Curious Cat marched on with our second sale of the year. Sunday was likely the worst day weather-wise we have ever had to deal with given the snow, ice, wind and very low temperatures.....and yet, we had many folks, many friends show up to produce a very nice sales day. Thank you to all that came! The Curious Cat
We were in Georgetown for the first time to do a vintage gentleman's farm during the hottest part of this summer. The home/barn/sheds featured artwork, oils, watercolors, acrylic, many done by the owner. The owner had been a dentist but more importantly a real renaissance man capable of doing almost anything. The home also had African sculptures, Native American pieces, Eskimo pieces and lots of vintage furnishing. It was a very hot sale (in many ways).....one we will not easily forget.
The Curious Cat visited the homesite of Elizabeth How, one of the original alleged witches in the Salem territory. In its place currently Isits a beautiful reproduction early American Colonial. The home and property is oozing in history and housed many vintage and antique books about Ipswich and surrounding community. Along with many books were many pieces of artwork including British artwork much of which could be found in the British man-cave in the basement. It was a great sale!
We traveled to Dracut, the first sale we have ever done in Dracut in 15+ years, to help liquidate a beautiful home on Arbour Drive. The style was definitely modern. Some pieces were brought in by the owner from outside the home but we were fortunate to be able to liquidate the majority of the items.
