Benchmark Auctions - We are pleased to bring you more items from the collections of Mr. & Mrs. Peter L. Bernard, whose Old Metairie home was kept intact and lived in by their daughter, Susan Bernard, until her passing. Thus the collections of two generations are combined in one home. The quality and quantity of their collection is immense, and as such this sale will be PART II of the sell off. Peter Bernard was a notable local attorney, an avid sportsman, and an illustrious Freemason, rising to serve as Grand Master for the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana. Peter's wife Jeanne Bernard, was a great hostess and loved fine fashion. Together, they were world travelers, and brought many treasures home. Their daughter, Susan, was notably involved in the local Rose Society and a boutique owner offering jewelry and whimsical decor objects. The mix of items in this estate auction is eclectic and there's something for everyone, in all price ranges. Browse, bid and win, these items and allow us to make room for even more fine items to come. There's antique and high quality furniture from chairs, desks, tables, curios, and cabinets. There's art ranging from antique portraiture to framed Audubon prints and art of Oriental, local, and whimsical flair. So many items of beauty and fine quality, objects d'art, and an assortment of household items. The entire contents of the home are to be cleaned out, and all must go. So go to our auction catalog and BROWSE, BID, and WIN!
