Join us at Doylestown for a special preview of the extraordinary collection from the estates of Dr. Sandra Harmon-Weiss and Dr. Richard Weiss, esteemed figures in medicine, education, and the arts. Their lifelong passion for American history and material culture has culminated in an exceptional array of jewelry, textiles, silver and more. Discover a collection built on scholarship, service, and a profound appreciation for history and beauty. This is a unique opportunity to preview pieces with exceptional provenance and enduring significance.

This single-owner auction from the estate of Dr. Sandra Harmon-Weiss and Dr. Richard Weiss reflects a lifetime devoted to scholarship, service, and collecting. Their shared passion for American history and the arts is evident in a collection that includes 18th- and 19th-century antiques, fine silver, and personal and historical objects. A highlight is a gold brooch by Paul Revere, bearing his “PR” hallmark twice—a rare link to the American Revolution. Other items include Revolutionary-era currency, engraved bookplates, Victorian “lover’s eye” miniatures, mourning jewelry and textiles, a flame-stitch purse from 1774, and 17th-century Dutch brass tobacco boxes. Fine jewelry by Cartier and Boucheron adds European elegance. The auction also features Chinese export porcelain and samplers, along with a large selection of coin silver. Period furniture and fine Persian Rugs are also significant portions of this collection. Together, these pieces embody the Weiss’ commitment to preservation and connoisseurship.
