Fairlight Estate Sales is proud to present the Estate of Thomas William Skelton. He passed last September at the age of 85. Patriarch of one of the oldest families in America, he was a ...view moredescendant of two Mayflower passengers, Francis Cooke and Thomas Rogers. He and his wife settled in Colorado in the 1970s. They shared a passion for domestic and international travel, collecting a wide variety of antiques and art world wide. The treasures in this auction represent the families eclectic but elegant taste acquired over a lifetime within America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Tom’s wife of Irish descent was an avid collector of Belleek, the famous porcelain that graced the finest tables for over a century, including that of Queen Victoria. This auction is a rare opportunity to acquire some exquisite early pieces. While the family has retained a significant amount of their heritage, the size and scope of the Skelton collection is a treasure hunting opportunity for the discerning.
