MELROSE TREASURES ESTATE SALES LOS ANGELES

HOLLYWOOD ESTATE SALE – A TRUE 1964 TIME CAPSULE

"THIS SALE is PACKED WITH GOODIES!" Here is a short list, we're still finding stuff, and the garage is packed as well.

Located in the heart of Hollywood, this is a rare opportunity to step into a true 1964 time capsule—a long-held residence owned and occupied by the same professional dental household for decades.

Purchased in 1964 and never significantly updated or cleared, this estate presents a remarkably intact cross-section of mid-century life layered with earlier inherited pieces and decades of carefully preserved contents.

This is not a reset home. This is a preserved one.»

🎨 FEATURED ARTWORK (MAIN GALLERY IMAGE)

The defining piece of the sale is an antique oil on canvas depicting the Immaculate Conception, a faithful and closely rendered interpretation of the celebrated composition by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.

This painting is compositionally identical to Murillo’s iconic work, capturing the same upward gaze, flowing drapery, and celestial arrangement of cherubic figures.

Oil on canvas with visible age and period surface

- Strong, confident brushwork throughout

- Canvas and construction consistent with an older hand-painted work (late 18th–early 19th century range)

- Presented in an ornate gilt frame

This is a substantial devotional painting with real presence, and it serves as the visual anchor of the entire estate.

Also featured is a turn-of-the-century European landscape painting signed “Sezanne,” likely attributable to Augusto Sezanne.

- Oil on board

- Signed “Sezanne”

- Tonality and composition consistent with circa 1900 European landscape painting

Research and comparison suggest alignment with known work by Augusto Sezanne, who is documented to have signed works using his surname.

A strong and intriguing landscape with credible attribution potential.»
