DOUGLASS, Kan. - Aug. 27, 2023 - PRLog -- The outstanding estate collection of David and Ann Sidlinger of North Carolina, mostly gorgeous lamps and fine furniture pieces, will come up for bid on Saturday, September 23^rd, at 9:30 am Central time, by Woody Auction, online and live in the Douglass auction hall located at 130 East Third Street.

"The Sidlingers' lamp collection features examples by makers like Pairpoint, Moe Bridges, Handel and others," said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. "It also features some of the finest American Brilliant Cut Glass lamps anywhere. The furniture beautifully illustrates their love of quality items."

Three items in the sale – a desk and two banquet lamps – could end up vying for top lot honors. The original Wooten desk is a Wells Fargo model and a fantastic example. It boasts two large barrel front doors with mail slot, a latching drop-down desk, over 50 drawers, a maple and walnut interior and ebony highlights.

Herman Miller was the sole authorized manufacturer of furniture designs by Charles and Ray Eames, except for Europe and the Middle East. Mid-century designs by Eames are hugely popular with collectors and interior designers.
