A 1997 Steinway ebony Model M baby grand piano with Jansen bench, an 18th century Chippendale oval giltwood mirror and an important collection of Chinese Export armorial porcelain will headline an Estates & Collections auction scheduled for Thursday, November 14th by Ahlers & Ogletree, online and live in the Atlanta gallery, starting promptly at 10 am Eastern time.

The auction will showcase an exceptional collection of 388 lots, sourced from distinguished estates in the southern United States and featuring classical bronze sculptures, chandeliers, decorative and fine arts, furniture and more.
