The 1759 Vought House is planning a benefit auction on its grounds on
Saturday, October 24—and is hoping YOU will want to participate, either
as a donor of auctionable goods, or as an auction bidder on the big day—or
both. Friends and neighbors of this future Clinton Township Loyalist homestead
museum have begun donating quality items from their homes, attics or garages for
the "Confiscation" Auction. "We are looking for donations of clean, well-
cared-for household items, old or new, that you would like to recycle
from your home, garage or tool shed," says Kerry Cahill-Defuccio, chair
of the event with Judith Novak.
The event is inspired by a real auction in 1778, when victorious American
Patriots confiscated the goods and property of the defeated Vought family,
who had remained loyal to the British king during the Revolution. Anything
that could be in a rapidly-abandoned fully-working home (the unhappy Voughts fled
and resettled in Nova Scotia) is fair game for this auction. This includes antique or
contemporary furniture, china, quilts, hooked rugs, lighting, tools and decorative
objects. This is a wonderful opportunity to clean house—or to find treasures at the
October auction!
The Auction on October 24 starts at 9:30 am (previews) and 10:30 am
(auction) at the 1759 Vought House, 34 Grayrock Road, Annandale
(next to the Clinton Township Middle School). It will be presided over by
auctioneer Michael J. Stasak, Jr., Antiques and Auction Service, Carpentersville,
NJ, who is generously donating his expertise. If you have auction-ready
items you would like to drop off or have picked up, please contact
Kerry at 908.447.2006.
Some special items are already on the auction list, which can be viewed
on the auctioneer's website: www.stasakauctions.com. Three antique 19th
century samplers have been offered by collector Janice Armstrong, of Milford, who
has moved and is downsizing her much-loved collection. Hand-quilted quilts from
the home of Kay McGuire of Clinton and typical of her skilled craftsmanship will
also be auctioned. Also for sale: a leather-topped 19th century ladies desk, an antique
cast-iron coffee grinder, hooked rugs… the list goes on. All proceeds benefit the
1759 Vought House. Check our website: www.1759VoughtHouse.org.
