MANCHESTER, VT — Nathan Auction & Real Estate is having an online-only auction closing on November 2 of the antiques, folk art and extensive Mah Jongg collections of Gregg and Woody Swain, who recently sold their idyllic farm in Vermont. When it was populated with the material featured in this auction, the sense of blended styles and artistic charm was hard to characterize.

Enchanting would be a good way to describe it. Aside from being serious collectors of interesting objects encompassing many forms and styles of folk and decorative art, Gregg is a well-known author and collector in the world of Mah Jongg.

Portions of Gregg’s extensive collection have been exhibited in New York City and the Bennington Museum. Gregg is an authority on the art and history of the game of Mah Jongg and lectures nationwide about it. She co-authored Mah Jongg: The Art of the Game (Tuttle 2014), depicting collections from North America and Europe. It is the first book to discuss the history and iconography of Mah Jongg tiles and sets. Gregg is also co-author of American Mah Jongg for Everyone (Tuttle 2020), a best-selling instructional book on how to play the National Mah Jongg League’s approach to the game.

In addition to many unique Mah Jongg sets, this auction will include prisoner of war bone carvings from the Napoleonic wars and weathervanes. Among a selection of paintings are three Arthur Jones oil paintings, a rare Stephen Hunick oil painting as well as several Outsider and midcentury works. The online only auction is hosted on Invaluable. For information, www.nathanre.com or 802-362-3194.
