BRANFORD, CONN. — For more than 60 years, a passion for Pennsylvania and New England Americana drove Thomas F. and Tess L. Schutte to form a stellar collection that Fred Giampietro and New England Auctions presented in a two-day sale, October 10-11. All but four of the 761 lots gaveled down successfully, highlighted by a Saville family record, made in Lexington, Mass., circa 1805. With provenance to the late dealer, Joan R. Brownstein and surviving in excellent original condition, it achieved one of the highest prices of the event on the first day, realizing $27,500, including buyer’s premium. Watch for an upcoming auction review, which will appear in an upcoming issue.
