It is with great pleasure that Pridham’s Auctions & Appraisals presents the lifelong collection of David and the late Mary Jo Field. Avid collectors of Canadiana antiques and folk art for fifty years; they filled their authentically restored 1850’s home - Croydon House - with pieces they treasured and enjoyed. As collectors and dealers of Canadiana and folk art and with a wide international experience they developed an aesthetic for wonderful objects. The collection holds many traditional items but expands into the playful and unusual. Central to their overall collection is an important selection of carvings and paintings by highly regarded and much sought-after artists: William Loney, the Klatt Brothers, Joe Norris, Félicien Lévesque, Joe Sleep, Colins Eisenhauer, Chief James Beaver and many others. The Fields are well known in the trade and by collectors alike for their keen eye and excellent taste; this sale is a special occasion not to be missed.
