1stbid announces the 5 November 2023 sale of fine art and collectible and decorative rugs.

After a hiatus of several months, the New York and Washington D.C. gallerist, Victor Mashihi has assembled a comprehensive, curated collection to be sold via his online auction, 1stbid.com. With a lifetime of experience in the rug and fine art market, Mashihi’s collection consists of pieces from estates, his highly selective inventory, and consignments from private clients, primarily on the US East Coast. 1stbid’s items are offered at no reserve with starting bids. Of particular merit are several room-sized 19th-century Persian carpets representing the highest level of achievement in their respective types.

Prospective buyers can view pieces online at 1stbid.com and other auction websites. To assure satisfaction, 1stbid can arrange for extensive images of any piece or the opportunity to view lots in person at either of Mashihi’s galleries in New York or Washington D.C.
