The warehouse style auction was a much loved Cleveland tradition and Gray’s aims to bring it back to life this spring. Every lot in the auction has a reserve at or under $500, with the majority of items starting well below $100. First-time auction goers, young professionals, students with new digs to decorate – this is the audience Gray’s aims to attract with this fun, affordable auction.
For fans of vintage clothing Lots 209 and 211 feature designer neckties and pocket squares, Burberry mackintoshes to gorgeous designer wedding gowns. Sommeliers and dining enthusiasts will be interested in Lots 181 and 182, full sets of crystal and glass stemware. From pictures to pillows, the Warehouse Auction is chock-full of box lots, great for creating instant collections.
Gray’s Warehouse Auction is a truly unique sale that is sure to have something for every kind of interest. For the world traveler there’s Lot 238, the vintage Wheary steamer trunk, and Lots 106 – 114, a series of Pan Am travel posters featuring exotic locales. Cycling enthusiasts will be interested in Lot 347, a bicycle built for two – the bright blue vintage Columbia tandem! From the obscure to the practical, the Gray’s Spring Warehouse Auction features objects with character and charm.
A huge collection of furniture is a major highlight of the sale. Full dining room, bedroom, and garden sets are available with bidding starting at a fraction of their retail price. The same is true of the beautiful collection of rugs featured in this auction. Rugs and paintings are the perfect accent for every kind of décor. The Warehouse Auction includes a number of large-scale, eye-popping, unique paintings by artists such as Hy Snell (Lot 1), James Lawrence (Lot 3) and Reverend Albert Wagner (Lot 128).
