The Amazing And Unusual Up For Auction At Red Baron's

Filed under: Auctions

It's time once again for one of the greatest shows in the antiques world. Red Baron's Antiques in Georgia hosts huge auctions that people come from miles around to check out. The auction feature over 2500 items and have everything from furniture and memorabilia to vintage cars. It's a very unique collection every time at this shop that bills itself as the home of the amazing and unusual. The next auction, scheduled for June 25 and 26 brings together vintage firearms, a 1972 Dodge Polara California Highway Patrol Car, and something called a "Bonneville" boat/car sculpture which appears to be a wooden boat on wheels.

One of the better parts of the Red Baron inventory is the selection of architectural antiques. Another piece of the Yellowstone Club has ended up here too, a tasting room that was originally from a castle in Scotland, brought to the States in the 1940s and used in a mansion in Westchester County, New York before it was snapped up by the antiques-crazy Blixseths. There are also several bars including the "Harley Pub-Bar" shown above which has swinging doors, stained and jeweled glass windows, beveled mirrors, sink, wine rack and a storage cabinet adorned with Harley Davidson carvings and decorative bikes.

Yellowstone Club Furniture Auction To Be Held

The incredible two-seated throne above has had a long history. The black walnut furniture with pierce-carved armrests formed from integrated winged lions was once installed in a castle in Bavaria. Later they were in a mansion overlooking Chesapeake Bay. And finally they were destined for what would have been the most expensive home in the United States, the Pinnacle, a home to be built in the Yellowstone Club in Montana. Yellowstone Club founder Tim Blixseth planned to put this in the 53,000-square-foot home spec house that was never built.

This is just one of the offerings from the Yellowstone Club that will be auctioned off by Red Baron's Antiques in Atlanta. Red Baron is famous for its monumental auctions featuring fountains, whole wood bars, vintage automobiles and all sorts of pieces that because of their size might not find a home elsewhere. The auction featuring the Blixseth pieces will be held on November 6-8 and the entire collection could be worth more than $8 million.

Tim and Edra Blixseth once traveled the world picking up furnishings for their many homes. Now the battling Blixseths are being forced to sell of most of their properties and many of their belongings. The Yellowstone Club went to Edra Blixseth after the divorce but after bankruptcy proceedings it was sold to CrossHarbor Capital Partners of Boston for $115 million. CrossHarbor decided to liquidate the furniture collection. A total of 13 tractor-trailer loads of furniture are being shipped to Atlanta for the sale.
