I know nothing about this place other than that Lot #188 (an aesthetic pedestal) is very nice lookin' for a $300-$500 estimate. Perhaps this auction is close enough for you OH/PA folks to check out.

Nice pedestal. Could be Kimbel & Cabus or Kilian.
Based on my experience they are a good, reputable auction house. I purchased a Jelliff armchair there last October, and was not able to find a shipper (at a reasonable rate) who could pick up the piece until about 8 weeks after the auction. Dargate seemed to have no problem with storing the chair until it was able to be picked up.

Shipping, a pain in the furniture world, particularly for a single piece. lately i have been using uship.com and put it out for bids. mostly small shippers with covered trailers. who do you use?
Is it just me or do they have a fair amount of non-American pieces categorized as American?

I'm no expert and could be wrong, but several of them do not seem to be American.

I agree with you Rare--some of the chairs shown under American furniture just scream European to me.
