Canadiana & Decorative Arts

This sale offers collectors of Canadian heritage a chance to ‘drink from the cup’. An important basket of fresh to the market material is hitting the market at once. A case in point: the Skip Kerr Collection. When Skip wasn’t building the go-to online resource for ‘made in Canada’ Pequegnat clocks, he was hunting for them. Many of the Pequegnat examples Skip fought the hardest to get are featured in this sale. There are also contributions from Toronto’s beloved Optometrist Marty Osler. Marty could easily be considered Canadiana’s poster child. Marty adds flavour to the mix with contributions ranging from Canadiana furniture to Canadian folk art and militaria. In this sale, collectors have an opportunity to discover and own what it took these established collectors and more years to uncover. With a line-up of artists ranging from Maud Lewis, Franz Johnston, and Homer Watson, to early Canadian clocks by James Hanna and Martin Cheney, to museum-quality furniture attributed to Thomas Nisbet, as well as documented folk art, this is not a sale to be missed.
