HISTORY: Nashville , Tennessee is a southern city steeped in history and tradition. Today it is known affectionately as " Music City " as a result of the many years of great music that has been created t by legendary artists such as Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash and many others who paved the way for today's stars who continue to create sounds that captivate listeners world wide. But Nashville is infused with a rich history that began long before the studios and Record Companies that line Music Row. As the site of some of the Civil War's bloodiest and most costly battles, Nashville was the engulfed in the conflict w North met South to ultimately determine the future of a nation. From the political struggles to reshape the way a people is governed to the civil determination of such acts as the "Underground Railroad" to smuggle slaves to freedom to the on-going traditions of southern hospitality and gentile tradition, Nashville has been and continues to be a city of History and Tradition. Located in the middle of all of this history is an antebellum family home of brick and mortar with its 13 foot ceilings and plaster walls built in the middle 1800s and which has weatd the years of history and to this day remains the home of a family which has called Nashville home for many generations.

Walking through the rooms of this historic home, filled from floor to ceiling with treasures from the past, one finds themselves traveling back in time to both the glorious days as well as the horrible times that have paved the way to the present. Items created through great imagination and scientific ingenuity, items that memorialize a moment in time and those which bring a smile to one's face upon reflection of a day that was simpler and filled with curiosity. Regretfully, family members pass and the treasures they so dearly kept must make way for another generation to pick up and move on. With the permission of the family, I have been given the distinct honor to prepare and present these family treasures for auction. Each item has been carefully catalogued, researched and photographed. Although in many cases it is impossible to determine the exact age and origin of the original relics, they are 100% authentic and have remained in the family's possession since the day they came into the family's possession. Every item is cleaned with great care to reveal the treasure beneath, boasting loudly the gifted craftsmanship and historical value that they hold. It takes hours of painstaking research and preparation to bring these treasures to you. I have spent hours and days to bring these lost treasures to you. Each treasure is a unique and authentic piece of history, each and every one of them prese... read more
