Due to the amazing snowstorms the Weschler's auction was re-scheduled to yesterday.
Weschlers Auction House here in DC is having an unusually large mid-winter auction on February 6th. It took me a good hour to peruse the entire catalog and I had so many things catch my eye that I recommend fans to take a look at the whole listing. You can do that here. Here's a hint, if you love Flora Danica, there is a huge amount of beautiful pieces.
Prices seem to have stabilized but there are a few pieces featured below that I think are great deals. I hope its a cold rainy day and that I have it off because I'd love to spend a couple of hours at this event. So here we go, just remember I saw many other things that looked great.

The sconces are beautiful. I shall go and peruse voraciously!
hmm...I think I may go to that. Especially liked the caned chair.
Beautiful choices to feature, wish I could be there!!
I'll take the Meissen plates and the Georgian-shell thingamabobs.
What a surprise when I opened this post----the woman who owned many of these things was a client of mine for years, and the black chair with thee turban-clad figures, and the georgian style stand, were both purchased years ago at my store. It inspired me to do a post about the chair over at my blog. Had fun then going through the catalog to see what other old friends I recognized. There were many. The owner had been a founder of the Washington Antiques Show, and possessed very refined tastes. thanks for providing me a cyber re-union with some old favorites.
These are gorgeous. I love the plates, it’s very authentic designs, and it’s just gorgeous.
These items are beautiful, it must be very expensive.
Very interesting. I can't believe some of the prices being what I consider low. Beautiful things!
I want that caned chair, darnit! But tea caddy spoons? What are those?
