The sale ran three days across the weekend. Turnout was strong from the first hour on Saturday, with 311 people through the house on day one alone.
Highest-performing categories were furniture and mid-century ceramics. Notable sales included a Herman Miller Eames lounge chair for $2,400 and a Meissen porcelain plate set for $1,800.
Books and linens moved slowly, as expected for the season. We discounted both categories 25% on Sunday afternoon and cleared most of the remaining stock by Monday noon.
The house was left broom-clean on Monday evening. Donation receipts for all remaining goods are attached to this statement.
