These are truly spectacular... they are a bit pricey, but they, no doubt, are the best.

           

We have coming in over the next few weeks some absolute masterpieces and a very special selection of new inventory, as well as plenty of surprises for October.  Here's a little sample for you--but just a taste...

Our son’s show “Auction Kings” is starting on prime time.  It will be at 9pm on Tuesdays, beginning the first week in August.  Don’t forget to watch!

When you come to Atlanta, be sure to stop at the new Sandy Springs Design Center.  It’s just north of red baron, on Roswell Road.

We have a new container, the first of many, arriving in 2 days.  Stop and see the new plunder from abroad and a special hoard of American antiques and paintings arriving this Thursday.   There is a lot going on, so come see the new stuff and check it all out.

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.

Auction Season Heats Up

Well, the summer auction is about on us and things are heating up in the auction world.  Last week another world record was set at auction.  A photograph, technically a tin type (the only one known of Bill Bonney, a.k.a, Billy The Kid) sold for a whopping $2.3 million to a Florida collector.  The image portrays young Billy standing with his Winchester and his pistol on his side.  It is the only one known to exist. 

Red Baron has received even more outstanding items for this sale.  It is without a doubt our biggest and best ever.  Home of the unusual—the best of the best has taken on new meaning.  You must go check out the website - www.rbantiques.com

Great and unusual things are added daily.  So, plan on being in Atlanta this month, July 15-17, for the Summer Extravaganza.  See you there!
