Every estate pick has a story and this Shadowland auction (part 1) comes through in spades!
We picked the contents of this New Hampshire camp in September of 2024 and there's so much, that we'll be doing two auctions with the loot! (Part 2 will be coming in January 2025)
This auction is filled with rustic antiques, outsider art, fine art, gold coins and jewelry, old tools, maritime antiques, masonic items and more!
This auction is packed with 246 lots we pulled from this massive New Hampshire Camp and Cape Ann Estates.

 Jon Sarkin (1953 - 2024)
Cape Ann Auction is honored to announce it has become the exclusive auction house for Jon Sarkin’s artwork.
Before his passing, through selling his artwork and occasional chats with him at his gallery on Main St in Gloucester, MA, we’d become fans of not only his work, but the man himself. He was an pioneer in the art world, but more importantly a truly kind and generous man. We are grateful to have known him.Â
To say Jon Sarkin was a pioneer in the Outsider Art world, is like saying the Eiffel Tower is big. If when looking at his art, your mind bends, your jaw drops, and you scratch your head in wonder, you’ve found the heart of Jon’s work - make of it what you will, that’s what he wanted.Â
We'll be including Jon's work in this, and upcoming auctions. Each piece will come with a Provenance Statement to assure you're getting an original Sarkin. Furthermore, the JS art we'll be selling, will come directly from his estate and is has never been to auction before.
