Stephenson's Auction House in Bucks County, PA has built a compelling track record over the past half-century for identifying hidden treasures in local estates. Stephenson's expert appraisers have evaluated and brought to auction every imaginable type of antique and vintage collectible, from a diminutive early 19th-century Pennsylvania walnut clock that sold for $31,625 to a contemporary Alex Katz screen-print that hammered $17,250.
