Andrew Jones Auctions has two major events planned for December – just in time for the holidays. A Design for the Home and Garden Auction will be held on Sunday, December 6th, followed by a Home for the Holidays Sale just two days later, on Tuesday, December 8th. Both auctions will be online-only affairs, starting at 11 am Pacific time.

“We have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to handle a number of important collections this year and achieve remarkable prices,” said company president and CEO Andrew Jones. “I am proud to end the year as strongly as we began, with fantastic property from private collections in our Design for the Home and Garden auction.”

Mr. Jones added, “We are all spending more time in a limited orbit these days, so acquiring a historic work can bring a worldly, cultural experience home. The Home for the Holidays sale is the ideal venue to find wonderful art glass, fine jewelry and accessories that make perfect gifts or personal treats.”

The Design for the Home and Garden auction will feature nearly 300 lots from various private collections and estates, highlighted ...
... by property from a Montecito residence. Included in the collection is a selection of important Italian antiques and fine carpets. Highlights are an impressive pair of late 19th century Italian Rococo style giltwood mirrors (est. $10,000-$15,000), an imposing late 17th century Italian Baroque walnut credenza, Tuscany (est. $6,000-$8,000) and a selection of fine antique carpets led by an exquisite Bakshaish example (est. $6,000-$8,000).
