We started with an empty house. The entire home had been staged with newer items by the realtor to help sell the home. Just this Monday, November 28th and Tuesday, November 29th, our valiant crew of movers went into the 2000 square foot garage to move all the furniture upstairs to the 1st and 2nd floors! Wednesday and Thursday we moved decorative accessories, paintings, bronzes and bronze clocks, Christmas items, etc., from the five treasure rooms attached to the garage. Today, we continue to move items upstairs, display and hang pictures and paintings. Tonight you will see some pictures to show you the magnificence of this estate. Next week, we will have final pictures, hopefully by Wednesday night.

HISTORY note on the historical importance of the 19th and early 20th century Chinese antiques offered for sale in this lovely home. Theses pieces are becoming more rare with each passing year. The destruction of so much of the treasures in China by the Communists and their desire to destroy the upper class or the bourgeoisie (the working class), has put Chinese antiques and collectibles at a premium.
During the 1920′s, rumblings of Communism, led by Mao-Tse-Tung were trying to gain foot holds in China. Having gained seats in government, there was a fight against them. In 1927, the Communists in the Kuomintang wing of government were forced out. Chiang Kai-shek and his battles with the Communists later sent Mao and Chu Teh on the Long March in 1934 to Yenan which became their base. The Chino-Japanese War began in 1931 with Japanese occupation of Manchuria. This continued, and even with allied aid, Chinese strength further faltered. In 1941, the Japanese attacks on U.S. and British bases started the Second World War in the Pacific. After WWII, in 1948, Chiang Kai-shek became the first constitutional president of China. In September 1949, the Communists proclaimed rule over all of China and established the Chinese People’s Republic with Mao as chairman. Chiang Kai-shek was driven from China and ruled over Taiwan and some offshore islands. But imagine, as doctors, professional people and intellectuals were terminated, so were the possessions they owned. Untold numbers of Chinese art and antiques were destroyed by the desire to control people, manipulate them, seize their property and dictate what they could or could not do. It must never happen again….anywhere.
There are many other items here. There are two, unmatched English throne style chairs upholstered in beautiful silk damask and one ottoman, an antique Continental oak Moorish style cabinet about 7′ wide by 6 1/2′ tall, an antique handmade 8′ x 10′ plus antique Chinese rug with rust background and embellished w/green, yellow, purple and red flowers, 6 tiered garden fountain, pr. blue glazed pots w/pigmy date palms, 24″ x 24″ GE bar refrigerator, Hotpoint refrigerator w/top freezer (smaller), antique carved Chinese floor gong, towels, faux fish tank lamp, Satsuma style table lamp, small kitchen appliances, dishes, and garage and garden items. No books or LPs or DVDs.
See you there!
There are many more non-Asian items at this sale.
