Sotheby’s Paris will offer for sale 600 historic sculptures and interior/exterior decorative objects (statues, fireplaces, garden furniture, park and garden ornaments) from Origines – specialists in France’s architectural heritage from the Gothic period to the 20th century. Auction on 31 March & 1 April.

The sale includes a broad selection of 18th and 19th century fireplaces, notably an exceptional neo-Gothic terracotta fireplace designed by J. Fritsch and made by Wieneberger Ziegel-Fabriks – doubtless a commission for the Austrian imperial family (est. €300,000-500,000). The fireplace blends medieval style with sophisticated craftsmanship, and bears the Viribus Unitis (“With United Forces”) motto of Habsburg Emperor Franz Joseph (1830-1916), whose reign was the longest in imperial history. In 1854 he married Elisabeth Amelie Eugenie von Wittelsbach, Duchess of Bavaria, better known as the legendary Sissi (1837-98). The couple’s respective coats-of-arms – those of the family of Habsburg-Lorraine and the Duchy of Bavaria – can be found in niches above the fireplace. The two knight figures on octagonal Corinthian columns evoke the Habsburgs’ glorious dynastic past. They portray Maximilian I (1459-1519), Archduke of Austria, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Germany, the veritable founder of Austrian power, who bequeathed half of Europe to his grandson Charles V; and Archduke Matthias of Austria (1557-1619), King of Bohemia & Hungary and Holy Roman Emperor.

BizAuctions, Inc. a prime provider of commercial eBay liquidation services for excess inventories, overstocks, returns, and consignment services for major retailers is regaining interests again in the liquidation of commercial-industrial equipment.

Delmar Janovec, CEO comments, “BizAuctions, a Titanium Powerseller, through its eBay store name: BusinessAuctions Inc, is finding renewed interests for the sale of good used commercial-industrial equipment. We have had numerous discussions with some of our current retail clients for the liquidation of their used commercial-industrial equipment. The retailers have equipment in its 4th or 5th years of utilization in kitchen-bakery areas and are in the planning stages for replacement of that equipment. Based upon preliminary discussions with our retail clients it appears this calendar year could prove to be a good year for BizAuctions consignment services. We currently have a couple of commercial-industrial equipment listings and anticipate seeing that number growing over the course of this calendar year. BizAuctions earns a rewarding commission once the item has sold and facilitates every step of the process from researching the item, taking detailed pictures, writing descriptions, answering customer questions, collecting payment and shipping for our clients. Our current and past clients have been fully satisfied with our services and management believes based upon that performance we can offer this service to other businesses that have used industrial equipment to liquidate. Please view the following link for this equipment at; http://cgi.ebay.com/Alto-Shaam-Combitherm-7-14-Steamer-Convection-Oven- DBL_W0QQitemZ350324242521QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Commercial_Ovens_Ranges?hash=item5190f3b859

“BizAuctions employs two primary business models, whereby it liquidates inventory through eBay, Amazon and Lucky 7’s retail store on consignment for a lucrative commission; and/or it purchases inventory at a fraction of retail price for the purpose of liquidating it for a profit. BizAuctions consigns, buys inventory, and liquidates through eBay and Amazon, and Lucky 7’s retail store,” continues Janovec.

BizAuctions’ clients have included some of the Nation’s leading retail names at the forefront of their industries. With a long-term strategy to provide commercial liquidation services to Fortune 1000 enterprises, BizAuctions is a clear and lucrative solution for most any business to liquidate excess inventory on eBay and Amazon, and Lucky 7’s retail store.
