ABOUT Decades of diplomatic postings and a painter's insatiable curiosity have filled this Alameda GOLD COAST home with the kind of collection that can't be curated — only lived. Lynn's Estate Sales is proud to offer an extraordinary gathering of furniture, fine art, and global treasures that span four continents and a lifetime of discerning taste. Furniture lovers will find a stunning range of periods and provenance: an Anglo Indian desk, a Georgian Flame Mahogany Breakfront china hutch, an antique hand-carved teak Garuda coffee table, Victorian Eastlake pieces, a Chesterfield sofa in oxblood leather, and an Indian wood credenza with hand-carved floral panels — pieces that tell the story of a well-traveled, deeply cultured home. The art is nothing short of breathtaking. A large collection of antique classical Indian miniatures anchors the walls alongside Indian temple wood carvings, Utagawa Hiroshige prints, a Richard Claud Ziemann etching, and dozens of original oil and acrylic paintings created by the estate owner herself — a working painter whose eye for beauty touched every corner of this home. From Africa, a remarkable assembly: figural stone and wood sculptures, a hand-carved African chess set, brass and copper plates, and an extensive library of books on African studies reflecting a career devoted to the continent. Crystal from Waterford, Baccarat, and Daum France catches the light alongside Royal Worcester bone china, Haviland porcelain, sterling silver serving pieces, and antique rugs from Persia, Turkey, Asia, and South America. This is a once-in-a-generation sale. Come ready to spend hours perusing.
