This large Old Spanish Trail is filled with antique and vintage delights, and cousin Carl and I are here to find what we think our collectors will love to see! Allandale is a special old neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Florida, and these fine old homes and their collections rarely find their way onto the marketplace. What will we find?
The home is as wonderful as its contents, from the step-down living room to the tiled sunporch and the wooden staircases to many rooms full of everything from handsome American antique furniture to Parrish prints, Satsuma ware and Bohemian glass beauties! We first get caught up with a case full of silhouettes, picking the best just before another dealer grabs all the rest. We'd better move fast!
1930s Worlds Fair memorabilia, framed carved cork scenes, mottos and linens, while Carl finds a few books too obscure to be listed online and some late period Asian sake or sauce bowls, and our friendly neighbor gets the Fire-King and Fiesta mugs she came to see. Our mutual hold pile grows larger...Carl and I both like a 1920s lamp, I find everything from mud men to ties...we'll show you my spend at the end!
Even the things we leave are tempting...a raging deal on a pair of marble-top Victorian pedestals, a cool 1970s lucite and glass cocktail table, a lot of stylish and interesting art and Orientalia...but we hold off instead for a good deal on a fashion statement and a surprisingly overlooked piece that sells well elsewhere at an unheard of low price! Estate sales are such a fun window into the past of a family, a city and all our shared heritage.
