Estate auctions often tell a story about the lives they represent. Our current Weston, CT sale brings together a collection of fine art, antiques, and decorative pieces that feel both personal and historically significant. The auction is offered online and begins closing Thursday, September 18 at 8 PM, with local pickup in Weston, Connecticut and nationwide shipping available.
Paintings Attributed to Notable Artists
One of the most interesting aspects of this collection is the group of paintings attributed to Salomon van Ruysdael and Asher B. Durand. While authentication has not been established beyond information found on the artwork frame and a tag on the back of the painting, the works carry the hallmarks of these artists’ traditions.
Salomon van Ruysdael (1600–1670), a Dutch Golden Age painter, is known for his luminous landscapes and quiet river scenes. Even works attributed to him offer a glimpse of that era’s attention to atmosphere and naturalism.
Asher B. Durand (1796–1886), central to the Hudson River School, painted American landscapes that celebrated wilderness and light. Paintings in his style continue to draw interest because they reflect a uniquely American way of seeing the natural world.
Alongside these pieces, the sale features a work by Tim Saska and a signed nature photograph by Thomas D. Mangelsen, whose large-format wildlife images have been exhibited and collected worldwide.
It’s rare to find a single estate with works tied to both the Hudson River School tradition and contemporary nature photography. That mix makes this auction stand out. It also made preparing and curating items for this auction a lot of fun! Oftentimes, the research needed to prepare for an estate sale is the best part.
Tim Saska (American, 1935-2006) Sunset Over The Water Oil On Canvas
Landscape With Figures, Attributed To Asher B. Durand (American, 1796-1886)
Thomas D. Mangelsen (American, B. 1946) Ravens Wood, Signed
Decorative Arts and Furnishings
The Weston catalog also reflects the way an estate can bridge generations of style and design.
Sterling silver by Tiffany & Co. paired with Williams Sonoma tableware.
Mid-century and traditional furniture, including Heywood-Wakefield favorites and Hitchcock chairs.
Designer handbags from Coach, Miu Miu, and Christian Dior.
Asian art and decorative pieces, chosen for their craftsmanship and distinctiveness.
17th–18th century military items, which hold both historical resonance and collector interest.
Pieces like these remind us why we emphasize curation over quantity. The right artwork, accessory, or furnishing can carry a story forward and give it new meaning in someone else’s home.
A Carefully Curated Auction
This Weston auction highlights the value of treating an estate collection with care. Rather than a mass liquidation, each piece was chosen for its quality and potential appeal to collectors, designers, and homeowners. The result is an offering that feels balanced — history, design, and function sitting comfortably side by side.
