These three rooms are currently installed at the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, New York. To schedule an on-site preview of these rooms and if you require a complete inventory of the items in this lot, we recommend you make arrangements with the Brooklyn Museum to view and assess the items in person, please contact Brunk Auctions at support@brunkauctions.com to make arrangements. The Brooklyn Museum is tentatively scheduled to have these rooms deinstalled at the very end of October 2024 and this process should take about 4 weeks. The museum's contractor will deinstall, label and bubble wrap all of the historic components.  As the rooms will have a buyer prior to deinstall, the museum will gladly discuss all pertinent information about scheduling a pick up as well as communicating any preferences the buyer may have regarding deinstallation to the contractor.  For additional photos, please contact support@brunkauctions.com.
