The items up for bid in this auction was furniture, more than 40 lots featuring 19th-century wall mirrors, Victorian leather armchairs, gilt bronze side tables a leopard-print lounge chair, and more.

The auction generated over $100,000 in cash, including $6,000+ for mirrors, side tables that generated nearly $10,000 and over $15,000 for smaller items Rod displayed in his mansion. Rod did sell a number of autographed auction catalogs for large sums of money that was donated to local children’s charities.
