Easton, Maryland – The crowds were large, the weather was great, and the bidding was spirited at our November auction held in partnership with the Easton Waterfowl Festival. The auction grossed $3.2 million with two items bringing over $100,000, ten over $50,000, and 65 over $10,000. There was strength in many categories including contemporary decoys and folk art, sporting and maritime paintings, rare duck calls, and decoys from many regions. The mix of offerings continues to attract new participants to our auctions with many bidding on their first decoy or folk carving.
Our next auction is the February Fine Sporting Arms and Art Auction, which will take place at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland. The consignment deadline for this sale is December 15th.
