For only the fifth time in its 50-year history, the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts is holding a sale of its priceless collectibles.
Saturday and Sunday, a former hosiery mill on East Main Street will be transformed into a showcase of vintage furniture, glass, ceramic and metal pieces taken from the Houston Museum’s storage.
“We’re selling pieces from Anna Safley Houston’s collection along with pieces that Sunny Wagner has taken in from other sources,” said Amy Frierson, museum executive director.
Wagner is owner of Sunny Wagner Appraisal Services, formerly with the estate sale business Those Girls.
“These items have been in storage and haven’t seen the light of day for many years,” Frierson said. “This is an opportunity to get some money for their sale and eliminate storage fees we’ve been paying.”
