This eclectic trio brings together divergent styles and materials, offering a conversation-starting display for any shelf or mantel. The collection is anchored by a substantial brass figure of Ganesha, adorned with vibrant multi-colored thread wrappings on the arms and seated upon a plinth featuring a subtle rodent carving at the base. Accompanying the deity are two contrasting giraffe sculptures: one meticulously crafted in a bright, multi-colored mosaic tile pattern with an intentional rustic finish, and the other a cast brass figurine retaining its original maker label from Andrea by Sadek, showing rich patination and surface texture.
Condition reports indicate varying states of preservation across the group. The brass Ganesha exhibits a warm, aged patina with natural tarnish and open-bottom casting. The mosaic giraffe displays a visible structural break and repair along one of its legs, while the brass Andrea by Sadek giraffe shows surface wear, spots of verdigris, and intact maker's sticker. These pieces carry the distinct marks of global craftsmanship and display a wonderful collected-over-time aesthetic.
🍂 Auction by the Dam: Harvest & Home 🍁
There’s something about fall that makes you want to slow down, look around the house, and bring home something with a little character.
Harvest & Home is our October Auction by the Dam, featuring 539 lots pulled from a wide mix of consignments — from old farmhouse pieces and vintage collectibles to jewelry, tools, décor, glassware, outdoor gear, artwork, furniture, and plenty of things that are just plain fun to find. 🏡
You’ll spot everything from stained glass, antique furnishings, Pyrex and uranium glass to Pokémon cards, gold and silver jewelry, handmade knives, cameras, camping gear, vintage advertising, tools, toys, and more. 🍁💍🧰📷
It’s the kind of auction that rewards a slow scroll. Some lots are practical, some are collectible, some are nostalgic, and some are the type of thing you probably weren’t searching for until it showed up on your screen.
☕ Pour something warm, settle in, and see what catches your eye.
