MDLD Auction House -
Important update:
Over the past year and a half, MDLD Auction House has had the honor and privilege of receiving many rare and beautiful Art Nouveau collectibles from a specific collector from Even Yehuda (out of respect for his modesty we will not disclose his name).
His wife is originally from one of the kibbutzim that was hit hard on October 7th.
He is insisting that all of the proceeds from his items in tonight's auction go to the survivors of the kibbutz to help them, in any way possible, try and rebuild their lives.
We were so moved by his gesture (and his broken heart...along with all of our broken hearts) that we will also donate much of our commission from these items to the same charity.
Praying for quieter and more peaceful times ahead.
Because Am Yisrael Chai.
Our journey this time begins with Art Nouveau and Deco pieces with historic and Judaica items sprinkled throughout.
The next stop is Israel and its establishment. Then we will take a rest and make a l'chaim with some nice alcohol. After we're hydrated we'll go to sea with some great maritime collector items.
We'll take the scenic route through Persian and Islamic collectables.
Next stop on our journey is a full tour of silver. We'll take breaks to take in some EL AL memorabilia and some classic Israeliana sites. Next stop is gold and high quality jewelry, should you want to bring home a souvenier. We can't leave without tasting some culture with fine arts. And our last stop, a magic carpet ride to the end...
Enjoy!
