Absentee bids let you place your maximum bid on an item before the live auction begins. During the live show, we’ll continue bidding on your behalf up to your max bid — just like leaving a bid with a traditional auctioneer.
When you place an absentee bid, the system sets the current bid conservatively — just enough to keep you in the lead without revealing your full amount.
The current bid shown on each lot reflects all confirmed absentee bids and updates automatically as new bids come in.
When the live auction starts, bidding will begin at the current bid. The auctioneer will continue bidding on behalf of absentee bidders up to their max bids.
Because absentee bids can arrive seconds apart, the current bid you see may not always include bids still being processed. Refresh the page for the most up-to-date information.

Lot 143 - Antique Oil On Canvas Painting Of River Scene With Adult And Child Fishing, Trees, Birds, And Rustic House With Smoking Chimney, 16" x 10"
Antique oil painting on canvas depicting a straight river running through a grassy meadow, where an adult and child stand in the foreground, the adult holding a fishing pole. The river is bordered by fence posts on either side where it appears to drop or turn, suggesting rapids or a decline beyond view. In the distance stands a rustic house or campground with smoke rising from its chimney, surrounded by full and bare trees beneath a sky filled with birds. Expressive brushwork captures the movement and mood of a breezy autumn day. The canvas is stretched over a wooden frame. Exhibits a hole on the right side of the dwelling, white paint splatter at the lower left corner, creasing around the inner edge of the wood frame, and wear and tear to the edges of the frame and canvas.
