In Remembrance and Looking Forward

Ten years ago, on 9/11, Linda was waiting on a plane, coming home from the fall antique fairs in France.  I called to tell her not to board, and don’t come back to the U.S. for a while with the events that occurred.  Now is a time to pause and reflect on how that moment and those following it affect our daily lives now and will from now here forward.

Red Baron is gearing up for the most fantastic sale ever.  Simply put, you need to be here.  COME TO THE SALE is a familiar cry here at Red Baron. This time is no exception ... with 6 moving vans of items from a prominent home in the west,  and 2 moving vans of collectibles  from a pair of world famous collectors of the very best,  plus much more-this promises to be the Big Daddy If you have been to a Red Baron sale (or even if you never have) this is one is a must attend.  Never again will you see the volume of the most exquisite antiques, decorative arts, and collectibles while still being wined and dined like never before.  All the stops are out, so come over now...and be here for the Best of the Best - the Creme of the Crop.  October 13, 14 and 15 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday), is just around the corner.  Call now to reserve your seats and arrange your travel.

The BIG One

October is coming soon--that means our next auction is right around the corner.  This auction will be titled "The BIG One."  Now, we have all sorts of reasons for calling it this, but mostly it is the accumulation of treasures.  From a grand dining room set (table, chairs, buffet, and étagères) carved by Valentino Besarel for royalty, to a monumental carved trophy featuring babies and wine nymphs toasting a grand prize vintage from the 1902 Turin Exposition (It's awesome!), plus bars, bars, and more bars, spectacular nautical items from the world famous Put in Bay collection ( a must see and buy), and so much more.
We have so much for this auctions that it will be 3, yes, THREE, big---make that huge---days filled with the best of the best...bar none.  
So, make your plans early and reserve your seats now.  See you here in Atlanta October 13, 14 & 15 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday), for The BIG One.  You don't want to miss it.

Action at Red Baron-TV Shows and Fabergé

Today is Tuesday, that means, TODAY is the debut of the much anticipated second season of Paul’s TV show, “Auction Kings.”  The new time is the prime time slot, 9:00pm Eastern.   Be sure to tune in—this will be a good one.

We are moving full speed toward our greatest auction yet--The Big One ... THE FALL SPECTACULAR. You won’t want to miss it.  All of the new items, treasures really, are arriving  daily.  Just in—we got a grand collection of rare and vintage extra large perfume bottles from all over Europe—very cool.  Here is a sneak peak...

We also received a collection of antique gambling things including roulette tables and other gaming tables.

It’s still pretty warm in Georgia, but it’s not so bad.  That means the garden pieces are still doing well and along with the arrival of the Antiques Road Show (which sold out here—rumor is a whopping 10,000 tickets went fast), we have proof that antiquing here in the South is alive and well.  Make sure you are a part of it and don’t miss out!  Make plans to be here in October (or stop by if you’re in town before then!).  We look forward to seeing you in the Fall.

Summer Sale Re-Cap

Hi Everyone,

The summer sale is over.  The heat wave broke for 3 days, and we enjoyed comfortable temperatures, unfortunately the temp is now back up.  The sale was a very typical summer auction at Red Baron with medium attendance an medium prices--and lots of bargains for Red Baron clients.  Clients, as usual, came from all over the globe searching for Red Baron treasures, unusual finds and a good time.  Our turquoise skull came to a final resting place right here in an Atlanta, GA private collection, and sold in the estimate range to a very happy collector.  The peanut wagon is making another trip back across the US to California for stint in the movies.  Also, one our fabulous jewelry stores is making a trip to the big apple.  We have several stained glass windows traveling to Canada, and a lot of things are going to a new development in the Caribbean.  Red Baron has new incredible things on the water as we speak, getting geared up for The Big One … The Fall Sale, and we are emptying one of our French warehouses.  That should be a real buying treat for our clients.  Plus, we have a special shipment of the very best pieces the world has to offer coming from a special collection, more later on that when we get it.  Keep checking the web site, new items are always being added. 

Paul’s TV show, Auction Kings, starts a new series this first week in August.  Keep watching it, too. For those traveling to Atlanta, please stop by the new Sandy Springs Design Center for a large array of cool things for you to purchase.

See you soon…
