”The best carved cherry mantel with over-mantel mirror I`ve ever seen, a fabulous pair of glass English conservatory doors etched with flora and fauna, 18th Century sundials and Prairie School planters . . . a really good spectrum,” says Annie Steinwedell McLagan, manager of Salvage One
Architectural Artifacts, listing some of the items in the firm`s first formal auction at 11 a.m. Saturday.
”We have stuff here no one has ever seen before, from a huge 1960s six-burner stove from a prominent Lake Shore Drive apartment, to terra cotta pediments from the Dearborn Hotel, which is now gone,” adds McLagan.
One feature of the auction is that ”there will be no reserves;
everything in this sale is going to go,” says McLagan.
The sale will be conducted by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers at Salvage One, 1524 S. Sangamon St. Exhibition hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, , 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.
