This exceptional Louisville estate brings together the remarkable collection of Dr. Roger H. Herzig, a pioneering physician whose work helped advance the treatment of leukemia and bone marrow transplantation around the world. Dr. Herzig established the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at Louisville’s James Graham Brown Cancer Center and spent nearly five decades treating patients, conducting research and educating generations of physicians. Beyond its distinguished provenance, this is simply an outstanding collection. At its heart is an impressive selection of rare antique advertising and country store pieces, including a Hires Root Beer ingredients display, Diamond Dyes cabinets, early tobacco advertising, apothecary and medicinal displays, advertising clocks, signs and general store pieces dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection expands from there with Kentucky and horse racing artwork, including signed works by LeRoy Neiman, along with historic Americana, antique furnishings, sporting and equestrian collectibles, art, pottery and more. This is part one of a multi-phase auction!

This lifetime collection offers a walk through the 20th century, featuring fascinating pieces tied to notable moments in history, iconic figures, and pop culture. From Teddy Roosevelt to J.R.R. Tolkien, Star Wars to Barbie, and World War I to Soviet Russia. The items tell a story with furniture, home decor, and collectibles along the way. For the bidders who like some sparkle, you'll find sterling silver, collectible coins and beautiful fine jewelry.

The final phase from this amazing estate is a colorful mix of vintage fashion, glamorous accessories, stylish furnishings and collections for every season. The extensive wardrobe features statement coats, 1980s evening wear, genuine leather jackets, designer pieces, vintage handbags and an impressive assortment of sterling silver and fashion jewelry. Furnishings range from a Drexel mid-century modern buffet and Hollywood Regency brass étagère to vintage accent chairs, decorative mirrors and garden furniture. Collectors will find Kentucky Derby mint julep glasses dating back to the 1960s, Louisville sports memorabilia, art glass and vintage treasures. There's also an extraordinary selection of holiday décor, including Christmas trees, wreaths, florals and decorations for nearly every occasion. Rounding out the auction are outdoor furnishings, lawn equipment, a Cub Cadet riding mower, STIHL tools and plenty of household essentials.

We said the first one was eclectic, collected, and full of personality, and we didn't know what was coming next... well, we do now. More of that cool stuff! This home was so wonderfully curated that we're even going to end up with a Phase 3!
