Until June 7 (2 p.m. EST), an amazing diversity of decorative and collectible items, all with modest opening bids, will be on offer in Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ Spring 2016 Online Timed Auction. This 556-lot auction will include over 130 lots of original paintings and prints; large collections of Native American crafted beadwork, basketry, pottery, early artifacts, and textiles; fine clocks; art pottery, porcelain and glass; antique and vintage dolls; fine pens; furniture; and many other fantastic items.

The online auction format will allow participants to place bids at any time between May 24 and June 7, communicate the current high bid on each item, and send an immediate email alert to bidders who have been outbid on any item and who are the highest bidder.

Thomaston Place owner and auctioneer Kaja Veilleux noted: “This is an easy way to acquire wonderful pieces for home or collection. No collector or decorator should miss this great buying opportunity.”

On June 7 starting at 2 p.m., live on-line bidding will commence via an automated system that will sequentially open and close each item in the sale, lot by lot. This auction also provides extended bidding – meaning, if a bid is placed on a lot immediately before its scheduled closing, it will remain open for an extended period of time to allow other bidders to enter their final bids.
