Inside the October Luxury Sale: Fine Jewelry, Designer Fashion, Sterling Silver & Art

Collectors, jewelry enthusiasts, design lovers, and vintage fashion buyers will find a carefully selected group of exceptional pieces in the upcoming Fine Jewelry, Luxury Fashion, Sterling & Art auction hosted by Buckeye Downsizing Services on LiveAuctioneers.

Bidding is open now, and bidders can register and start placing bids immediately through the auction registration page. The auction begins to close on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM EDT, when the live bidding portion starts as lots begin closing.

Anchored in Columbus, Ohio, and supported by Buckeye Downsizing Services’ warehouse in Worthington, this sale brings together fine jewelry, designer accessories, sterling silver, original art, Mid-Century Modern design, lighting, decorative objects, and collectible timepieces. It is the kind of auction designed for buyers searching beyond ordinary household contents: those looking for distinctive pieces with craftsmanship, history, and enduring appeal.

A Featured Gorham Sterling Silver Service

One of the defining highlights of the sale is a Gorham Chantilly-Duchess sterling silver tea and coffee hollowware service, estimated at more than $5,000.

The service showcases the ornate scrollwork and floral detailing associated with the Chantilly pattern, adapted across a coordinated group of serving pieces. With its substantial presentation and strong maker recognition, the set will appeal to sterling silver collectors, traditional entertaining enthusiasts, and buyers seeking an impressive addition to a formal collection.

The Gorham Chantilly-Duchess service is a featured lot in the catalog. Additional sterling offerings include Wallace flatware, an antique sterling vase, serving pieces, and other collectible examples of silver craftsmanship.

Fine Jewelry, Watches, and Tiffany & Co.

The jewelry portion of the auction offers a broad range of 14K and 18K gold necklaces, bracelets, diamond jewelry, gemstone pieces, pearls, turquoise, and designer jewelry.

Among the most distinctive pieces is a vintage 18K yellow gold and diamond Ebel watch with a lapis lazuli dial. Its woven gold bracelet, deep blue dial, and diamond-set detailing give it the presence of a jewelry object as well as a functional timepiece.

The catalog also includes Tiffany & Co. jewelry and a selection of precious-metal pieces suited to collectors who appreciate recognizable design and wearable luxury. Seth Thomas and Hampden pocket watches add a historic horological element to the sale.

Buckeye Downsizing Services takes care in researching and cataloging jewelry, designer pieces, and precious metals. When additional documentation or valuation is appropriate, the team can help coordinate third-party appraisal resources. Jewelry is not appraised in-house, but each piece is evaluated and researched as carefully as possible for accurate cataloging, photography, and presentation.

Designer Fashion from Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and More

The luxury fashion selection includes handbags, scarves, shoes, accessories, and other pieces from some of the most recognizable names in fashion.

Highlights include:

• A Louis Vuitton Keepall monogram duffle

• A Louis Vuitton International wallet with a certificate of authenticity

• A Y2K Louis Vuitton Damier Geant LV Cup Weatherly crossbody

• An Hermès Paris scarf clip with original box

• An Hermès Le Jardin De Leila silk scarf with original box

• Chanel signature logo sunglasses

• Multiple pairs of Chanel ballet flats

• Gucci, Prada, Burberry, and Salvatore Ferragamo pieces

• Hermès and Chanel scarves, vintage furs, and a Loro Piana cashmere blanket

The Louis Vuitton Keepall is an especially recognizable travel piece, while the collection of scarves, shoes, and smaller accessories offers opportunities for buyers who prefer collectible fashion in more accessible formats.

As with every auction purchase, bidders should review the complete catalog description, photographs, and condition information before placing a bid. Previously owned luxury goods may show wear consistent with age and use, and included boxes, certificates, dust bags, or other accessories are noted in the individual lot descriptions.

Art, Sculpture, and Decorative Design

The art and design portion of the sale extends well beyond traditional decorative furnishings. It includes original paintings, sculpture, architectural glass, studio pottery, and distinctive lighting.

An original oil on canvas abstract landscape offers a bold, geometric composition with a tactile impasto surface. Also included is the vintage Mid-Century Modern oil on canvas “The Bar Flies” by Newland, a playful work depicting figures gathered around a table.

Design collectors will find a large Mid-Century Modern pottery planter by Robert Maxwell, an Adrian Pearsall Compass dining table, a Curtis Jeré sculpture, and a vintage Georges Briard mosaic side table made for Glass Guild.

Lighting highlights include:

• A pair of Nessen Lighting mushroom table lamps

• A Gerald Thurston for Lightolier swing-arm lamp

• An antique Art Nouveau figural table lamp, “Rosée Du Matin,” by Georges Maxim

• Vintage stained and slag glass window panels

• An Art Nouveau leaded glass panel

• An Oly Studio starburst mirror in brushed gold

The sale also features an antique French Morbier Comtoise wall clock and a French crystal regulator mantel clock with champlevé enameling. These pieces bring together decorative appeal and mechanical or technical interest, making them compelling additions to interiors centered around antiques, European design, or collected objects.

Cataloging and Photography with a Collector’s Perspective

Buckeye Downsizing Services approaches high-value auctions with the understanding that presentation matters. A well-researched description helps bidders make informed decisions, while professional photography reveals the materials, finishes, markings, scale, and condition details that can be difficult to communicate through words alone.

The company’s owner is a professional photographer with 22 years of experience, including 12 years photographing auctions. That background informs the way jewelry, silver, fashion, art, and design pieces are staged and photographed for online buyers.

This combination of careful cataloging and professional imagery helps Buckeye Downsizing Services serve as a credible destination for high-value collectibles and a Central Ohio alternative to larger online auction marketplaces. The goal is not simply to list an object, but to provide bidders with useful information and a clear visual understanding of what makes each piece distinctive.

Preview and Auction Logistics

Preview is available by appointment. Because of the value and security requirements associated with the sale, all jewelry and sterling silver items are kept securely off-site.

The auction is conducted online through LiveAuctioneers, allowing collectors outside Central Ohio to participate. Shipping is available for most items and is arranged through a third-party shipper. WeShipIt is recommended for buyers who need shipping assistance. Large, fragile, or specialized pieces may require additional arrangements, so bidders should review the individual lot details and plan transportation before bidding.

Local pickup is available by appointment in Worthington, Ohio, serving the Columbus area. Buyers should wait for payment confirmation and release instructions before arranging pickup or a third-party carrier.

Can’t Be Online at Closing Time? You Can Still Bid with Confidence

For bidders who cannot be present for the live portion of the auction on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM EDT, LiveAuctioneers makes it easy to stay in the running.

At any time before a lot closes, bidders can place a maximum bid in advance. LiveAuctioneers will then bid competitively on their behalf, automatically and incrementally, up to — but never beyond — that maximum amount.

That means bidders only pay the lowest amount needed to stay in the lead, and in many cases may pay less than their full maximum bid. It is a simple, reassuring way to compete for a piece without needing to watch every lot in real time.

Setting a maximum early also helps ensure that a desired item is not missed simply because someone is away from a phone or computer when the live bidding portion begins. For many collectors, it is the easiest way to bid thoughtfully and comfortably while going about the rest of the day.

Registration is open now, and placing a maximum bid takes only a few minutes. It is free, straightforward, and designed to make bidding feel more convenient from start to finish.
