BOZEMAN, Mont. \u2014 Truckloads of opulent furniture, including a two-seated throne meant to grace a 53,000-square-foot home that Yellowstone Club founder Tim Blixseth never built, will be on the auction block in Georgia next month.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Red Baron’s Antiques in Atlanta estimates the collection could be worth $8 million or more. The company will conduct the auction Nov. 6-8.<\/p>\n
“People buy this kind of furniture when they want you to know they’re rich,” said Bob Brown, president of Red Baron.<\/p>\n
Based on the paperwork that came with the furniture, Brown said it appeared Tim and Edra Blixseth spent “a fortune” just traveling to acquire the exquisite furnishings.<\/p>\n
The collection includes “a lot of stuff that was made for kings,” Brown said. “In America, we can’t be king, so people want to buy things that kings once owned.”<\/p>\n
Prospects of the lavish house, to be called “The Pinnacle,” being built dimmed in March 2015 when Blixseth sold the 160-acre lot where it would have been built. By then, the Blixseths were in divorce proceedings.<\/p>\n
Edra Blixseth ended up with the Yellowstone Club after the couple divorced. The club, a private ski and golf community, filed for bankruptcy and was sold to CrossHarbor Capital Partners of Boston for $115 million in mid-July. Matt Kidd, a partner in the firm, said CrossHarbor decided to liquidate the collection.<\/p>\n
Along with the carved, black walnut throne, a bank clock, marble and mahogany mirrors and walnut and ebony cabinets are featured in Red Baron’s auction brochure.<\/p>\n
In all, 13 tractor-trailer loads of furniture are being shipped to Atlanta for the sale.<\/p>\n
