Although Weschler's is not the only auction house in DC, I do find them to be reputable and always honest. Summer is almost done and the fall auction season is just about upon us. This Saturday, September 13th, Weschler's starts the season with a Jewelry, Watches and Coins and an Art Auction. As I don't wear jewelry, watches and know anything about coins, lets stick to the art. Out of 175 lots up for auction, I've picked 10 pieces that hit my eye and will see how they do. For the full catalogue click here. Results will be posted after the auction. So lets see what I liked and I threw in a clunker for fun. I'm sure you'll catch it.
