We proudly present this beautiful collection from the Glisson family of Martinsville, Va. We have Fenton, Fairy Lamps, Weller Louwelsa Art Pottery, Blendo and Blenko West Virginia Glass, Gold Indian Head and Silver Coins, Royal Doulton Toby Mugs and Figurines, Hummels, Longaberger Baskets, Imperial Clock, Large Brass Eagle and so much more. True collecting is not merely an act of acquisition; it is a lifelong pursuit of beauty, history, and historical truth. Farmer Auctions is honored to present a museum-quality private collection that represents the pinnacle of that pursuit—curated over a lifetime by the discerning eye of Kim Smith Glisson and the late John “Santa” Glisson. For decades, these items have existed behind closed doors, arranged in a private dialogue within the walls of this Estate, whether, they form a cohesive narrative of the history not just local, but acquired around the world, where each piece was selected not just for its rarity, but for its dialogue with the others. Many of these lots have never before been seen by the public, let alone offered on the open market. By bringing this esteemed estate online, we offer a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity. To acquire a piece from this collection is to inherit a legacy of impeccable provenance, celebrated taste, and dedicated stewardship. As you explore the online items, you are stepping into a world of decades in the making. We invite you to bid with confidence, carry forward a magnificent tradition, and secure a piece of this historic estate. The family is honored to partner with Farmer Auctions over the coming months to share this and additional collections that were created more for the preservation of history and not profit.
