Palos Verdes Center Holds ‘Collected Treasures’ Benefit Sale

The Circle, a Palos Verdes Art Center support group, presents “Collected Treasures” this weekend.

Admission is free and the collection of curated estate items on sale includes antique Chinese slippers, a grandfather clock, linens, a Lalique bowl, china, silver and jewelry. The event takes place at the arts center on 5504 Crestridge Road during the following days and times:

Fri., June 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sat., June 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,

Sun., June 6, from 1 to 3 p.m.

In past years, Collected Treasures has been part of The Circle’s annual Palos Verdes Homes Tour. However, since the event had to be postponed the last two years, this year’s standalone event will include more than the usual number of high-quality estate items to choose from. The most special items will be in a  Silent Auction.

Funds raised from the sale will go to the Palos Verdes Art Center/Beverly G. Alpay Center for Arts Education which is celebrating 90 years of educating, enriching and building community through equal and inclusive access to the visual arts.
