Stair Galleries is pleased to have been chosen to sell this inventory from Salander-O’Reilly Galleries. While the circumstances of this sale are not ideal, the property is still quite amazing. The furniture reflects the gallery’s focus on early pictures and works of art. There is a very strong selection of predominantly European 17th and 18th century furniture, and a fine small group of American pieces. The 17th and 18th century picture frames in the auction are works of art. We have taken the liberty of adding antique-style mirror plates to some of the frames to enhance the exhibition.
The garden decoration on offer is stunning. It was purchased at the Christie’s sale of the Michael Roberts collection, at Ashurst, Kent, U.K. Roberts was one of the early afficionados of architectural elements and ornament and he collected and dealt in this material for 20 years. The important inventory he amassed was sold by Christie’s in September 2004. Salander-O’Reilly spent in excess of 1 million dollars at this sale, and purchased over 120 lots. There are remarkable decorations in many materials including Coade stone, Bath stone, limestone, bronze, sandstone, cast stone, wrought & cast iron and terracotta. There are signed (and some dated) items from famous makers such as Coade, Doulton, Austin & Seeley, Compton Pottery, J&M Craig, James Stiff, Liberty & Co., Joseph Oliff and James Pulham.
We have made a considerable effort to present this property to its best advantage, both at our gallery in Hudson and at the Grainery in Claverack, where most of the larger items are displayed. We hope you will enjoy viewing it as much as we enjoyed arranging it.

*The items located at The Grainery are available for preview by appointment only the following days, Tues. (May 27th) - Fri. (May 30th) and Mon. (June 2nd) - Weds. (June 4th). For appointment please call 518-751-1000.
