Sunday Afternoon
Estate Antiques
Auction
Sunday, April 18
1:00 pm
in our Hillsborough Gallery
(Huge estate of Chapel Hill Professor - deceased, name withheld, and partial estates from Sanford, NC - deceased, Durham - deceased, Cary - living, more...)
Auctioneer's Note: Folks, this is the type of sale one normally finds on-site, but due to the logistics at the estate site, everything had to be moved. This is a sale that is reminiscent of three generations homes of the south!
Don't miss it. There are so many items, we will be adding to the list throughout the week.
