“Rose Valley Museum Benefit Auction of Art & Antiques”

The Rose Valley Museum @ Thunderbird Lodge is hosting a virtual auction on Thursday, Nov. 3, of Victorian, Arts & Crafts and mid-century modern objects, over 400 lots. The proceeds will benefit the museum’s acquisition fund and be used to defray the cost of two recently-procured Samuel Yellin chandeliers and furnishings that decorated Thunderbird Lodge in the early 1900’s.

Items range from those which may be available for $50 to those that will sell in the thousands.”  The furniture includes an 18th century blanket chest with intricate carvings and hand-wrought hardware, a 19th century tiger maple table made in New York state and a Stickley bed. They are complemented by Roseville and Arts and Crafts pottery, ceramics, lamps, stained glass and Victorian braided hair ornaments, an eclectic collection.
