Vintage furniture, storied trunks, and religious art from the Sisters of St. Francis ready for new homes
DUBUQUE, IOWA — Step inside the past and take a piece of history home with you.
On Saturday, April 26 at 10:00 a.m., the Sisters of St. Francis of Dubuque are opening their storied doors to the public for a special antique and collectibles auction. Hosted on the serene grounds of their Mount St. Francis Motherhouse at 3390 Windsor Ave., Dubuque, this is not your average estate sale—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bid on timeless convent furnishings and sacred treasures, many of which have been lovingly preserved for generations.
In partnership with Bravo Auctioneers, the event will offer live in-person and online bidding through https://bid.bravoauctioneers.com/ui/auctions/135204, with pre-bidding already underway.
Expect to discover over 400 lots of unique items:
- Ornate wardrobes, desks, and dressers that have seen decades of quiet convent life
- Washstands, tables, chairs, and steamer trunks full of character and charm
- Religious artwork
- Plus, bookcases, collectibles, and much more
Whether you’re a seasoned antique collector, a lover of vintage furniture, or simply someone who appreciates meaningful items with a story to tell—this auction promises something truly special.
To make the day even sweeter, Delaney’s Ice Cream and Rockin’ 5K BBQ will be on-site with food and refreshments available for purchase.
Come for the history. Stay for the bidding. Leave with a story.
