Crescent City's Estates Auction, impacted by Hurricane Ida, has been pushed ahead to Sept. 18th-19th

NEW ORLEANS - EntSun -- 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 11^th and 12^th – but only by a week. The new dates are September 18^th and 19^th, 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.
