My team and I are honored to represent the auction of the personal Americana and Antiques Collection of Bruce & Vivalyn Knight of Springfield, Ohio. Well-known pillars and visionaries in the antiques community, the Knights not only filled their home with exceptional examples of antique American furniture as well as beautiful American and European antique decorative arts, they cultivated lasting friendships along the way. It is fitting that the Knights’ collection should sell at Garth Oberlander’s historical barn in Delaware, Ohio, where iconic pieces and industry legends have come together in a spirit of shared enthusiasm for decades. ~ Amelia Jeffers
The Knights’ extraordinary appreciation for antiques and superior craftsmanship, and their reverence of bygone times gave them the desire to share this love with others in big ways. As the founders and former owners of Heart of Ohio Antique Center, Knight’s Antiques, and The Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market, Bruce and Vivalyn created huge venues where people who share their passions may convene and enjoy the hunt. Under their ownership, The Springfield Antique Show and Flea Market boasted over 2600 vendors and the Heart of Ohio Antique Center became the largest in the country. Even today, both serve not only as a destination for antique buyers from across the country, but from around the world as well. Bruce’s industry leadership has given thousands of vendors the opportunity to follow their own similar passions, benefitting their lives both financially and emotionally. It all started when Bruce, as a young boy, would bring home to his mother the antiques he found on trash day. At the age of 16, he was introduced to his friend Jane Murphy, the Hamilton County antiques legend, and his lifelong passion for antiques was further fueled. Jane shared her knowledge with Bruce as he drove her around during the summers and on weekends, knocking on doors and buying antiques. After college and his military service in Vietnam, Bruce opened his shop, Knight’s Antiques, on National Road in Springfield, Ohio. Then at age 25, he created the antique show, and soon after began his international buying trips to England. Bruce and Vivalyn travelled extensively for many years as major antiques importers from Europe and Asia where they formed many cherished friendships. In the antique community here in America, their friends are many and treasured. Since his passing in 2021, Bruce is greatly missed by close family, friends and beyond, but the inspiration and enterprises he created within the antiques community he so loved live on.

TRANSFER OF TITLE: Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the Auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Auctioneer may require.
PAYMENT AND STORAGE: No lot may be removed from Auctioneer’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Auctioneer shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at her/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Auctioneer, or sent by Auctioneer to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Auctioneer may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Auctioneer by law, Auctioneer reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Auctioneer by the buyer; Auctioneer shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale.

If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Auctioneer and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Auctioneer, at her option, may either cancel the sale,
retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Auctioneer’s commission at her standard rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Auctioneer. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Auctioneer’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Auctioneer a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Auctioneer’s possession, and Auctioneer may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Ohio Uniform Commercial Code.
RESERVES: Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Auctioneer may implement such reserves by bidding through her representatives on behalf of the Consignor. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Auctioneer or her representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Auctioneer, Auctioneer may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest.
ABSENTEE BIDDING: No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Auctioneer prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Auctioneer’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Auctioneer accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Auctioneer shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.
