GOING, GOING, GONE...
for the Benefit of The Decorative Arts Trust

Maloof CandelabraAt Christie’s Auction in New York City on June 17, a very special wooden candelabra made by Sam Maloof was auctioned for the benefit of The Decorative Arts Trust.

Kelly and Randy Schrimsher donated this beautiful and important object for auction as a way of raising funds for the Trust. It was hammered down at $2000.The Schrimshers are hoping that this will start a trend for other Trust members to give a redundant or unused object from their collection to be put to auction. The Trust is currently looking for a donation to be included in the Americana sales in New York in January 2011. That auction would then be incorporated into our VIP Antiques Weekend in New York making it a fun and exciting time for all.

If you would like more information about this, please call Penny Hunt at the Trust office: 215-627-2859.
