The Carol Schwartz Gallery began nearly 30 years ago in the Chestnut Hill Area of Philadelphia offering an eclectic collection of fine art, Judaica, and vintage posters. They recently closed their doors at the remaining North Wales location. Through our two-part auction, buyers will have an opportunity to bid on some of the final pieces of this admired art gallery. Some of the available items feature noted artists such as New York based photographer Jordan Matter. Matter is a highly sought after portrait photographer for actors, dancers, and circus performers. The auction features many of his signature shots, some signed and professionally framed. Other offerings include local Palmerton watercolor artist, William Wesley Wentz and Israeli artist, Arona Reiner. There are also some beautiful hand knotted Israeli rugs available. Take advantage of this chance to fill your home with some truly unique pieces from an esteemed local gallery.
There is a 15% buyers premium for this auction.

Once the auction closing time goes into effect the items close at a rate of 5 lots per minute in sequential order unless there is active bidding within the final 3 minutes of the auction and the auto-extended feature is activated.
The auto-extend feature will be activated in the case of bids placed in the last 3 minutes prior to the closing of each lot. This prohibits all sniping software and activity. It is necessary to constantly refresh your browser during the last few minutes of the sale so that you are aware of any lot time extensions, as well as during the time extensions as they will continue to extend in 3 minute intervals until competitive bidding ends.
It is recommended that customers use the maximum bid option to avoid confusion at the close of the sale, however, if two customers place the same maximum amount, the computer will automatically take the first one placed.
