Nathan Auction & Real Estate Inc. is having an online only auction of the antiques, folk art and extensive Mah Jongg collections of Gregg & Woody Swain who recently sold their idyllic farm in Vermont. When it was populated with the material featured in this auction, the sense of blended styles and artistic charm, was hard to characterize. Enchanting would be a good way to describe it. Aside from being serious collectors of interesting objects encompassing many forms and styles of folk and decorative art, Gregg is a well known author and collector in the world of Mah Jongg.

Portions of Gregg’s extensive collection have been exhibited in New York City and the Bennington Museum.
