A Shopping Trip You Can't Miss

With everyone watching their wallet these days and looking for the best value there's one place in town you can't miss – Kuehnert's Auction Gallery.

When one hears auction house it's hard not to think Sotheby's or Christie's, but you can find prime pieces at Kuehnert's and score a good price, as many local interior designers and decorators have discovered.

With more than 400 items up for auction each week, the selection varies from estate pieces to European antiques to Persian rugs for only $50.

Kuehnert's is open to the public and a new lot is brought in Fridays and Saturdays for preview throughout the week. Then the bidding begins every Thursday at 7 p.m.

Kuehnert-Gillespy contends that people are drawn to the auction house for "fabulous quality pieces at fabulous prices."

"People are looking for great things at great prices," Patricia Kuehnert-Gillespy said.

And don't miss the Gallery's Fall event on October 16 featuring; a Steinway & Sons grand piano circa 1871, a private collection of signed R. Lalique glassware, signed P. J. Mene bronzes, fine art, 18th century antiques, estate jewelry and more.
