Press Release Author = AntiquesYes.com / Wel Wilson
Industry = Entertainment
Press Release Summary = The first 2007 AntiquesYes.com auction opens for bidding on
January 27th and features antique builder's hardware. But rather
than the normal
format of selling 100 lots, each with one, or perhaps a few pieces, there will only
be 10 lots, with every lot containing multiple pieces, and in some cases as many as
50 items being sold for a single high bid.
Press Release Body = AntiquesYes.com will take Internet
antiques auctions to a new
level in 2007 by presenting a number of first ever events and by introducing a new
and innovative online
auction lot concept.
AntiquesYes.com is already known as the premier site for producing
highly specialized and focused events for buyers and sellers of
antique
hardware, antique
tiles, and Scalamandre
artifacts. Beginning in January 2007, AntiquesYes.com will expand
their auction services with new specialty categories of "Architectural
Antiques" and "Restoration Catalogs and Reference Books". They
will also make auction history with the innovative auction lot concept
called "Big Lots", which will make online auctions more exciting
and rewarding for both sellers and buyers.
The first 2007 AntiquesYes.com auction opens for bidding on January 27th and
features antique builder's hardware. But rather than the normal
format of selling 100 lots, each with one, or perhaps a few pieces,
there will only be 10 lots, with every lot containing multiple pieces,
and in some cases as many as 50 items being sold for a single high
bid.
This "Big Lots" antique hardware auction will include everything
from doorknobs to door bells and from hinges to window sash locks.
Every piece will be selected for quality and collector interest.
There will be pieces from Corbin, Russell & Erwin and Mallory Wheeler,
A. G. Newman and other important antique hardware manufacturers.
If you are a hardware
collector or restorationist
looking for hinges, door plates, bin pulls, knobs, shutter hardware,
or keyhole escutcheons-and enjoy American decorative arts from the
Neo-grec, Aesthetic, Neo-classical and Arts & Crafts eras-this sale
is for you.
In February, AntiquesYes.com will present an auction of antique architectural
elements that represent the artistry and ingenuity of America's
19th Century building trades. Up for auction will be choice panels
of leaded, etched, and wheel cut glass, an assortment of Addison
glass tiles, cast cement and carved marble garden urns and statuary,
large and small cast iron gates, a selection of vintage plumbing
for kitchens and baths, and possibly a 10' long wooden butcher's
rack with hand-made iron hooks. Shipping service will be available
for larger, mansion quality items.
In March, AntiquesYes.com will present an on line auction of vintage trade catalogs
and restoration publications. More than 150 lots will feature books by 19th Century
architects and designers as well as original periodicals and publications
from a variety of building trades. Every lot will be vetted by an
internationally known book dealer / restoration expert. The sale
will be tailored to old house owners, architectural and design historians,
and everyone who loves America's building history.
