1. Tiffany mirror, bronze, 15"h for $26,000. I mean, holy crap, it's just a little over a foot high and it isn't made out of precious metals or anything!
2. Tiffany lamp for $23,000. Again, wtf. All you are paying for it the name. They make excellent knock offs now...
3. 5" square enamel and silver box for $11,000. The top did not close properly and holy crap! Holy crap holy crap holy crap!Those are in fact the correct number of zeros.
In even more exciting news, Martha Stewart came (we are right around the corner from one of her estates). She looked like she hadn't brushed her hair. Also, her voice sounds different in person. A little bit sharp and pinched, and higher. I did get her to sign a copy of her magazine, but she seemed offended it wasn't a recent one... Anyway, we had a TON of jewelry at this auction since one of the estates we are managing was owned by a jeweler. And Martha Stewart picks up one of the huge groups of gold bands and says that you could wear a whole bunch on one finger, or have them inscribed and give them away to friends. At this point one of the girls working the jewelry case also suggested that they could be napkin rings for very tiny napkins. Martha was not amused.If I get around to it, I will upload a picture of the autographed magazine.
Ooh, I almost forgot, I bought a lovely abstract painting. $60 all told. I'm a bargain hunter, folks.
