Victorian lots abounds in Virginia house auction

An impressive collection of authentic Victoria furnishings and artefacts will go under the hammer this weekend in a house with an authentic Victorian style. The approximately 300 lots on sale are part of an executor clearance sale, for the representatives of Miss Mary Rudd deceased aged 94 who lived on the Main Street in Virginia, and will be held in the house itself. In 1916, aged four, Miss Mary Rudd moved with her parents to America in their quest for work. Her parents were tragically killed in a car crash very soon after arriving and she was put into an orphanage. It was here that she contracted polio, which left her wheelchair bound in the latter years of her life. Her grandparents 'sent' for her when she was nine-years-old and she returned to Virginia to live with them until her recent death at age 94. This house, on the main street in Virginia, has remained untouched - from her grandparents' time to Miss Rudd's and when entering it feels like walking back into Victorian Times. This style of houses has gradually disappeared and this auction offers children the chance to see how their great-great-grandparents really lived - there is even a crane over the Kitchen fire with a skillet pot hanging from it. In the auction is an original signed Percy French watercolour, a Wedgewood dinner and breakfast service, numerous untouched Victorian and Edwardian furniture, lots and lots of china, delph and glass. Victoriana abounds in this house contents. Most of the furniture has hardly ever been used, most still have their original upholstery. The auction takes place on Sunday October 9 at 2.30pm. at the property on Main Street, Virginia. Viewing: Friday noon-6pm, Saturday 11am-5pm, Sunday 10am-2.30pm. Auction commences 2.30pm.
