Press Release
Aberdeen, MS, USA, January 9, 2024 — Stevens Auction Company’s first big sale of the New Year, on Saturday, January 20th, will feature the contents of the circa 1838, 5,000-square-foot estate home in Columbus, Mississippi known as Magnolia Hill. The auction will be held in Stevens Auction’s new gallery facility at 129 East Commerce Street in downtown Aberdeen, as well as online.
“Mr. and Mrs. Sapp sold their magnificent home and moved back to the family home in Lincoln, Nebraska, so they are selling everything from Magnolia Hill,” said Dwight Stevens of Stevens Auction Company. “We will also be selling the contents of an 1899 Victorian home located in the historic district of Decatur, Alabama, as well as several other prominent Southern estates.”
Each of these estates contains beautiful antiques and pieces of Southern finery that include handmade Persian rugs, premier artwork from the 19th century until the present day, antique lighting, porcelain, cast iron garden items, primitives, bronze statues, antique mirrors, china, half and full tester beds, clocks, statuary, and hundreds of other fine pieces – over 400 lots in all.
The event is officially titled Stevens Auction Company’s annual New Year’s multi-estate sale. One lot certain to attract bidder interest is the pair of 19th century carved wood blackamoors that each stands 80 inches tall and could date as far back as 1820. The pair, which at one time were fired by gas, would make a handsome addition to any décor and should bring $8,000-$15,000.
