The sale, online and live in the New Orleans gallery, was originally planned for the weekend prior, but the hurricane had other ideas. The gallery was undamaged and only a week was lost. Start times will still be 10 am Central time both days.
NEW ORLEANS - LouisEagle -- Crescent City Auction Gallery was impacted by Hurricane Ida and had to postpone its two-day Important September Estates Auction originally slated for the weekend of September 11th and 12th – but only by a week. The new dates are September 18th and 19th, as Crescent City exhibited amazing resiliency in the face of a devastating, Category 5 hurricane.
Start times will still be 10 am Central time both days. More than 800 lots, pulled from prominent estates and collections, will come up for bid, online and live in the gallery at 1330 Street Charles Avenue. "Fortunately, the gallery was spared any real damage," said Adam Lambert, the owner of Crescent City Auction Gallery.
