PERKASIE PENN. — Stenella Auctions will present an exclusive auction from the estate of the late George E. Harrison III, a renowned Americana collector. This sale will feature a collection of period antiques, Colonial Williamsburg reproductions and fine art, all available for online bidding.

“This collection features more than 700 lots of period Americana, folk art, Chinese and British antiques, along with one of the finest collections of Kittinger and Colonial Williamsburg reproductions still in private hands. A collection like this is unique and rarely seen in its entirety,” said Jim Stenella, auctioneer and expert on Eighteenth Century period furniture and museum reproduction decor.

The auction will showcase a variety of items, including period Americana such as an original New England paint-decorated dressing table, early Nineteenth Century primitives, Eighteenth Century furniture, and Pennsylvania folk art. More than 50 pieces of early Eighteenth Century Chinese porcelain will also be featured, alongside folk art treasures like a rare Native American Indian weathervane, early samplers, hand-painted theorems by David Ellinger, stoneware and period copper. Furniture by Kittinger, Kindel, Saybolt Cleland and custom Eighteenth Century-style child’s pieces will be available, as well as more than 25 antique Persian rugs, including Heriz, Serapi and Tabriz. The clocks on offer include Lord Dunmore Colonial Williamsburg and Simon Willard grandfather clocks, Chelsea House carriage clocks and the Elmer Stennes girandole clock. Additionally, there will be a selection of Colonial Williamsburg sterling silver flatware, decorative sterling pieces and more than 50 rare Kittinger furniture items alongside decorative porcelain and metalware. Art enthusiasts can also look forward to early Nineteenth Century oil paintings of historical significance.

George E. Harrison III, alongside his wife Linda, were celebrated for their meticulously curated collection of Americana. Their home served as a showroom of period pieces, reflecting their deep passion and expertise. Their business, Americana Interiors, highlighted their extensive knowledge of Kittinger furniture and Williamsburg-style decor. Their home was more than just a residence; it was a meticulously curated showroom, akin to a museum. The stunning home that boasts unique architecture that blends timeless elegance with historic charm will also be auctioned off. The date for the house auction will be determined at a later date. George Harrison was renowned for his unique approach to engaging buyers, offering not only exceptional items but also an educational and immersive buying experience. The list of distinguished clients he worked with over the years is extensive.

Following George’s passing in March and in honor of their beloved pets, the proceeds from this auction will benefit the SPCA and other animal charities.
