LITCHFIELD, CONN. — Litchfield Auctions’ April 30 sale will feature property from estates and collections, including that of the late Jeff Trundy of Washington, Conn., and Augusta, Maine. Trundy’s collection of painted furniture, folk art, samplers, redware, stoneware, woodenware, iron, decoys and baskets was assembled over more than three decades, purchasing from Frank Dingley, Don Olson, Olde Hope, Peter Eaton, Gene Pratt, Betty Berdan and Lewis Scranton, as well as from auctions at New England Auctions, New Haven Auctions, Skinner, Cyr, Crocker Farm and James Julia. Highlights include a salmon-painted step back cupboard, yellow cupboard and Maine redware.

Also from Washington is a collection of paintings, prints and silhouettes of George Washington.
