Nazmiyal Auctions' upcoming sale features an extensive curation of antique textiles, highlighted by prominent provenance from the estate of the late Wall Street executive and collector Donald Gant. In the antique textile market, a verified provenance from a respected collector elevates both the historical importance and the investment profile of the lots. This provenance positions the sale as a significant opportunity for collectors to acquire documented design assets.

The Structural Value: Why Antique Persian Rugs Endure

To the collector, an authentic antique Persian rug is an architectural asset rather than a mere decorative floor covering. Each piece is constructed by hand tying individual knots onto a vertical warp and weft foundation. A single high grade textile can contain millions of these hand tied knots, representing months of highly skilled labor. Unlike modern machine made or tufted alternatives, which rely on synthetic backings and chemical latex glues that degrade over time, a hand knotted Persian rug is held together entirely by the structural tension of its weave. This engineering allows it to withstand generations of use. Furthermore, antique weavers used locally spun wool naturally rich in lanolin. This organic oil preserves the fibers, repels moisture and develops a natural sheen ov... Read More

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio – On May 30, Milestone Auctions in metro Cleveland auctioned the first installment of antique toys from David Leitner's remarkable personal collection built over a 50-year period. Nearly 650 choice toys from various categories took the spotlight, including early European windups, postwar Japanese robots and space toys; and a diverse assortment of rare motorcycle toys, many retaining their original pictorial boxes.

Throughout the day, Internet and phone bidders were dominant. Milestone's co-owner Miles King observed that this probably correlated to the origins of most of the toys being offered.
