Press Release
Bloomfield, NJ, USA, January 7, 2026 — Nye & Company Auctioneers and Appraisers will present a remarkable two-day series of auctions later this month, led by an exceptional single-owner sale: Property from the Collection of Peter and Leslie Warwick of Middletown, New Jersey, to be offered Wednesday, January 21st, beginning at 10am Eastern time. The sale is online-only and essentially unreserved, offering bidders a rare opportunity to acquire historically and artistically significant works at accessible levels.
Collected over decades with extraordinary care and scholarship, the Warwick Collection represents one of the most thoughtful and well-researched assemblies of American furniture and folk art to come to auction in recent years. Peter and Leslie Warwick are widely respected collectors known for their deep commitment to provenance research, object history, and regional craftsmanship. Their work in tracing ownership histories and identifying makers has contributed meaningfully to the field of American decorative arts.
Both Peter and Leslie Warwick have been active supporters of the Monmouth County Historical Association, reflecting their dedication to preserving New Jersey’s rich material culture. They have also been involved with, and supportive of, the American Folk Art Museum in New York City, aligning their collecting philosophy with the study and celebration of self-taught and vernacular American art traditions.
