For all of you that have been waiting for this sale, it will happen this Thursday and Friday October 25th and 26th from 8AM to 4PM plus. I would like to say out front that this is an unusual sale….unlike what we usually do. There will be some tables set out in the backyard and we might do some box lots to move things along. Except for the paintings, this sale is not the highest end, or the cleanest, but filled with things collected over 60 years. The dining set is a very nice 1940’s J.R. Van Sciver mahogany ensemble.
There are some nice rugs and lots of fun vintage linens, ephemera (maps, violin history, L.A. Philharmonic brochures, cooking pamphlets, tickets & Hollywood Bowl parking passes, old greeting cards from the 40’s, postcards, travel brochures-U.S. & Europe, photos, etc.), books, kitchen, bric-a-brac and jewelry. The whole house is vintage, with some antiques and mostly 40s!
The household was one filled with accomplished and famous violinists. First, Olga Mitana Balogh, wife and mother, who was in the L.A. Philharmonic for two to three decades along with her brother, Julian. They played with Stokowski, Eugene Ormandy, Alfred Wallenstein, Zubin Mehta, and so many other conductors. She taught violin to youth, and was in the Ted Bacon Golden Strings in the 1930s. Her son, Endre Balogh, a very accomplished well-travel violinist, began doing concerts at 4 years of age and has enthralled hundreds of thousands of concert goers for over 50 years. He is still playing occasional concerts and is also an amazing photographer. The household was headed up and led by husband and father, Ferenc Balogh, who was a chemist and on Philharmonic committees for years. He is still living and is in his 99th year. Mrs. Balogh passed away some 20 years ago before the earthquake in 1994.
