Auction Highlights
October, 2024
Stenella Auctions is honored to present the upcoming sale of the estate of the late George E. Harrison III. Known alongside his wife Linda as one of the foremost collectors of Americana, George’s passion extended beyond period antiques to include Colonial Williamsburg furniture and decor. His expertise in Kittinger furniture and Williamsburg-style pieces was showcased through their business, Americana Interiors, which they operated for over 40 years.
Their home was more than just a residence; it was a meticulously curated showroom, akin to a museum. George was renowned for his unique approach to engaging buyers, offering not only exceptional items but also an educational and immersive buying experience. The list of distinguished clients he worked with over the years is extensive.
Following George’s passing in March 2024, several years after Linda’s death, his estate is being offered at auction with a special purpose. George and Linda had no children but shared a deep love for their bulldogs. In honor of their beloved pets, George stipulated that the proceeds from the estate auction be donated to the SPCA and other charities benefiting animals.
On October 22 and 23, 2024, Stenella Auctions will host a two-day online auction of George and Linda’s exceptional collection. This sale will feature a range of rare and sought-after items, many of which have never been offered before.
