LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Do you wait all year for Black Friday to purchase a gift for that special someone, only to find yourself underwhelmed by what’s out there? This holiday season, change up your shopping routine and try auction as a way to discover unique vintage goods by luxury designers.
Abell Auction Company, L.A.’s original and 101-year-old auction house, is proud to present a holiday luxury sale on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2017 starting at 10 a.m. Shoppers can bid live at the gallery or online for a stunning array of designer handbags, shoes, jewelry, timepieces, clothing and luxury goods from premier Southern California estates.
Featured clothing, shoes and handbags include designs by Chanel, Fendi, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Celine. The jewelry portion of the sale will be highlighted by the collection of Carole Cramer, who was a singer with the Tom Dorsey Big Band during the swing era. Her collection features vintage gold, platinum and precious stone necklaces, bracelets, brooches and earrings.
For those seeking additional luxury goods, a set of Georg Jensen “Acanthus” flatware, a gold Rolex ladies watch, a Hermes equestrian desk paperweight magnifier and multiple pieces of fine glassware by Lalique also will be up for auction.
“An auction is a fun and exciting way for shoppers to buy meaningful gifts for their loved ones, while escaping the long lines at retail stores,” said Abell Vice President Todd Schireson. “Whether it’s a classic Chanel evening bag from the 1970s or a one-of-a-kind piece of vintage jewelry, buyers will be able to find timeless and unique gifts. Abell also invites consumers to preview items days in advance of the sale, which is a huge advantage over auctions held exclusively online.”
Luxury auction items range in value from $500 to $20,000. A preview will be held on Dec. 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Abell gallery, 2613 Yates Ave., Los Angeles, 90040. A full catalogue will be posted at www.abell.com on Dec. 1, 2017. For more information, call 323.724.8102.
