UNBELIEVABLE CONTEMPORARY ART & MID-CENTURY ESTATE SALE IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS!

One of the finest and most exciting collections of Mid-Century furnishings and Contemporary Art and Sculpture you have ever seen by many known Designers and Artists of the 20th Century - all collected and displayed in a magnificent Tobocman home!

The sale also includes china, crystal, silver, many decorative accessories, a large collection of books, beautiful linens, and much more!

The 91 year old owner has moved this past weekend, and some of the contents of the sale have changed as I was afraid of, but while he changed his mind on some items already advertised, he did not take many more items that he originally planned to, and they are now part of the sale. All contents advertised from this point on will be part of the sale when it opens this Thursday. Thank you for your understanding.
