Several pieces of 17th through 19th century English oak furniture and a fine Dutch oil portrait on butterflied panel purchased in 1961 and attributed to Govaert (Govert) Flinck a student of Rembrandt should attract attention. The collection also includes several early religious oils, carved saints, santos, bronze angels, Grand Tour bronzes and Black Forest carvings as well as a rare coin op English 'Polyphon" disc machine with 17 additional discs in excellent condition, an inlaid Swiss music box with three bells and several musical instruments which will undoubtedly appeal to music lovers.   
 
For at least two decades Arlene Komayathy and her family were avid bidders at our Monday night Cold Spring Galleries auctions in Cold Spring beginning in 1983 and then at the other end of town in Beacon from 1992 to 2004. They dealt primarily in 19th century English and American furniture and accessories and since her passing last year the family home has sat empty. Several pieces of the family treasures including those of grandmother Eleanor Dill, owner of the long closed Sleigh Hill Antiques will be featured in both sessions throughout the evening.

An old Tennessee family, relocated to Westchester County and fortunately into a  large home with a three story chicken coop to boot was able to bring with them several inheritances worth of furniture and finery. Forty years later and moving to smaller quarters our crew spent two days packing two trucks of two centuries of both. The excellent sugar chest stayed with the family but several pieces of authentic 19th walnut and butternut furniture will be offered in the sale including an unusual form armoire and other bedroom furniture, a heavily carved grape and lion parlor settee, mirrors, lighting, china and silver.
