Mid-Atlantic Auction is excited to present the estate of Martha T. McKinnon. A former longtime Princeton resident, Martha was a woman of impeccable taste and a deep passion for the finer things in life. The collection is rich in 18th & 19th century Continental furniture, paintings & decorative arts with an emphasis on French material. Other categories include sporting art, antique Garden furniture & decorations, old master paintings & portraits, period lighting, a large library including fine bindings, Chinese & European porcelains, 18th & early 19th century English & American furniture and decorative arts, fine carpets, clocks, antique prints, Georgian sterling silver and silver plate, Cartier cufflinks and pins, Baccarat and Orrefors tableware, and a closet full of bolts of fabric. Over 550 lots. Martha attended Vassar College, earned a BA degree from Hunter College, and a degree in interior design from Parsons School of Design. She was an interior designer, an avid gardener, and collector of antiques who loved historic houses. Martha's purchase of Chevannes, modeled after Bois-des-Fosses, the ancestral du Pont family home near Chevannes, France provided the perfect backdrop for her lifelong collection of antiques and decorating prowess.
