Start times all three auction days are 10am Eastern. ?The Susan Ely auction is more than a sale?it?s a window into a life richly lived, ? said Andrew Holter of Nye & Company Auctioneers. ?With the air and elegance of a traditional English Country house, Ely?s collection is a tribute to the sporting life, fine craftsmanship, and the power of objects to hold memory and meaning.? According to her son Tim, many of the things his mother valued in life were beautiful old antiques, baubles from friends and family, bronze statues, ribbons earned by her many terriers, and even a collection of ubiquitous red tail hawk feathers tucked neatly for display, camouflaged among her other treasures. The only things she held dearer than these inanimate objects, other than her dogs, were all of her friends and acquaintances.
