Items of Value Inc

     For our monthly sale in June, plan on spending a lot more time than usual.  We have spent 2-1/2 days unpacking over 2,000 wonderful items to offer you.  These items come from a couple where the wife enjoyed collecting over the years, and now the couple is downsizing from a large and exceedingly well appointed house to an apartment.  Their children do not want any of this.  The couple has traveled all over the world.  The items are clean and in good condition. 

     Secondly, we accepted a delivery from another couple in the same situation, who have given us many small items but also a great deal of furniture and other items including their son's scarcely used drum set.  You will find virtually new rattan and wicker, still wrapped in the packing plastic, a hand-painted floral design bedroom set, single decorative chairs and tables, a huge oak-veneered bookcase, and a HUGE framed display case, approx 6'h x 4'w.  If you ever wanted a deluxe display cabinet, this is your chance.

     Beyond this, we have opened up more space in our second showroom, able to put down one more rug, arranged bookshelves and cabinets to display more items, also to set out more furniture.  We have grouped new arrivals of shop equipment and yard tools.  We have the shovels, yard sprinklers, and hand tools you need.  If you have been inclined to create a patio or yard trellis or decorate with columns, you will find a pair of white wood trellises and 2 slender white decorative columns.

    Asian items keep coming to us.  Greeting you when you enter our first big showroom will be a HUGE 4'h Chinese urn.  Behind it is an even finer although smaller urn.  Next to these is a Chinese rosewood kneehole desk.  It comes apart into 3 major sections, plus drawers, so it relatively easy to move.  A plethora of Chinese porcelain we have displayed throughout our 2 showrooms.  Look for the black 2-door cabinet with carved soapstone scenes, the small cabinets with incarved scene on top, the folding screens, the framed silk embroidery, the framed bird paintings, and silk textiles.

    For those of you who have been waiting for more jewelry, we offer you 6 showcases of fine and costume jewelry.  We have also grouped some jewelry in a large tray for you to enjoy going through.  After looking through our showcases, look both up and down as you move about because we have hung a crystal chandelier that just came to us, other hanging lights as well.  We have put down on the floor many small rugs that we just picked up.  Others we have hung or laid over railings for you to see.

     We have cleared off 6 tables in our second showroom to accommodate a large collection of political memorabilia.  It includes posters, photographs (Eisenhower),  prints (Cleveland and his young wife), newspapers.  You will find the more collectible campaign buttons in one of your showcases.

     Remember that we discount over time.  Some items will be 50-60-70% off tagged price at this month's sale.  We do not change the price tags, so please ask us about whatever you are interested in.  Items at full price will be the recent acquisitions, including Lladros,  vintage American glass including "peachblow", vintage Venetian glass, collector plates including "Lady and the Unicorn", city view, Royal Copenhagen.  Look for the Tiffany glass tray and the sterling silver tea set and trays.  We have received numerous display cases of different styles and sizes.  They include wall-hung cabinets and standing cases.

     We can recommend several low-cost but good food restaurants in the area to make your day even better.  See you there.
