On July 12 and 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the North Shore Land Alliance will hold its first ever Red Truck Estate Sale. The sale will take place at the Green Vale School – 250 Valentines Lane, Old Brookville- and will feature a vast array of treasures from some of Long Island’s most prominent homes and businesses. Items for sale include fine art, furniture, antiques, fabric, jewelry, vintage accessories, decorative objects, porcelain, silver, rugs, garden furniture and statuary.
The Red Truck Estate Sale, founded on the principles of renew, reuse, rRecycle, will offer an exclusive selection of pre-owned fine art and antiques, and will help benefit our local land and water. The event is a great opportunity for donors to de-clutter and give their items a new home, and for buyers to find rare treasures to adorn their houses and gardens. It’s a win-win for everyone, as proceeds from the event will go towards the North Shore Land Alliance, an organization working to protect and preserve, in perpetuity, the green spaces, farmlands, wetlands, groundwater and historical sites of Long Island’s North Shore.
Some of the high-end collectible porcelain items that will be on sale at the Red Truck Sale include a 19th-century French reticulated fruit bowl, an 18th -entury Frankenthal figurine, a lidded 19th-century two handled Chinese vase with Mandarin coloration, and a Chinese Famille Rose Enamel decorated vase. There will also be a wide range of antique chairs, ottomans, tables, mirrors, cabinets, bed frames, and armoires for sale.
The weekend will kick off on Friday evening, July 11, with a Benefit Preview Cocktail Party from 6:30- 9 p.m.. The festive barn-style party will feature a live bluegrass trio, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets to the benefit party are $100 per person. A limited number of tickets will be sold and will offer an exclusive opportunity to view and purchase items before the sale opens to the public on Saturday, July 12.
Admission to the Red Truck Estate Sale on Saturday and Sunday is $5 per person. For further information, or to purchase tickets to the Benefit Preview Party, please contact the North Shore Land Alliance by phone 516- 626-0908, or email tagsale@northshorelandalliance.org.
