Sotheby's - Important Americana in New York - 20&21 January 2012

Sotheby’s annual auction of Important Americana will take place on 20 & 21 January 2012 in New York. The sale will offer American furniture, silver, folk art, prints, carpets, English pottery and Chinese export porcelain, and features several important discoveries across categories – from two previously undocumented chests by legendary cabinetmaker John Townsend, to a second iconic Ptarmigan Vase and an extremely rare Colt Model 1849 pocket revolver.

The auction will be on exhibition in Sotheby’s York Avenue galleries beginning 14 January, alongside the auction of Important American Schoolgirl Embroideries: The Landmark Collection of Betty Ring.
