Part 2! Knoxville Artisan’s Retreat : Primitive Antiques, Folk Art & Handcrafted Americana

Part 2 - Northwest Knoxville Artisan’s Retreat : Primitive Antiques, Folk Art & Handcrafted Americana

Welcome to Part 2 of this beautiful estate liquidation! If you enjoyed Part 1, you will love what we are preparing for you now inside the home itself!

For those who missed part 1 : The late owners were remarkably gifted artisans who mastered the crafts of tole painting on tin, wood, and ceramic, hand-punched tinwork and more creative folk art. Throughout their lives, they shared their talents across regional craft fairs while collecting handcrafted pieces from local makers and renowned artisans. We are truly honored to assist their family once again in celebrating and sharing this incredible creative legacy.

This event is being conducted as a hybrid sale, featuring both an in-person estate sale and a concurrent online auction.

1. The direct catalog link for the online auction will be posted right here in just a few days.
2. We are still unpacking boxes and uncovering hidden treasures every day, so be sure to check back frequently for updated photos, inventory lists, and all details!
