Packed First Colony Estate – High-End Art, Antiques, Lladro, Royal Doulton, Furniture & Unique Finds

This three-day estate sale unpacks a meticulously curated First Colony home in Sugar Land, Texas — a 77479 address tucked into one of Fort Bend County's most established master-planned neighborhoods. The owners spent decades collecting, and it shows: every room is stacked with museum-quality art, fine furnishings, and one-of-a-kind decorative pieces with provenance from across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Whether you're a collector hunting a specific maker, an interior designer sourcing statement pieces, an antique dealer building inventory, or a Sugar Land neighbor who simply loves a good rummage through a great house, you'll find something worth driving to First Colony for.

Fine art and original works

The walls are dense with framed art. Expect signed lithographs by Michel Delacroix and Jane Wooster Scott, large European-inspired oil paintings including pieces by Alberto Lopez of Spain, and originals or works in the style of Renoir (Alexandre), Yasmirk, and Vincenzo Laricchia. You'll also see paintings by — or inspired by — Sheila Flack, Philip S. Thiel, Victor Shvaiko, and Eric Harrison, plus medieval knight brass rubbing–style artwork that anchors one of the rooms.

Lladro, Royal Doulton, and figural sculpture

Porcelain collectors will want to be early. The estate includes fine Lladro figurines, the retired Royal Doulton Janet HN1537 (discontinued in 1999), elegant Moreau-style figural sculptures — including a numbered Mandolin-on-Back Moreau (5/75) — and the limited Les Amante figural lamp (4/100). A standout for Toby mug collectors: a curated set of more than seventy-five large Royal Doultons covering the classics — Auld Mac, Old Charley, Robinson Crusoe, Rip Van Winkle, Neptune, Merlin, Mark Twain, Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, Handel, Ludwig, Simon the Cellarer, Parson Brown, Compleat Angler, Sir John Falstaff, Christopher Columbus, The Piper, Veteran Motorist, Guy Fawkes, Romeo, Long John Silver, Captain Hook, Sir Francis, Alexanders Hotel, Johnny Appleseed, The Golfer, John Peel, Captain Ahab, Cyrano De Bergerac, Apothecary, Beefeater, London Bobby, Guardsman, Othello, Macbeth, Sir Thomas More, Battle of the Alamo, Mr. Pickwick, The Fortune Teller, The Lawyer, Gone Away, The Cavalier, Izaak Walton, The Sleuth, City Gent, Robin Hood, The Busker, Arry, Louis Armstrong, Tam O'Shanter, Mine Host, Henry V, and the small SylvaC Mr Wolfe — alongside smaller Toby mugs of Granny, Paddy, John Barleycorn, and N. American Indian.

Antiques, collectibles, and global décor

Anchoring the antique side of the sale: oak barometers, antique bronze statues with companion mini ringing bells, an antique copper kettle on clawed feet, and a hand-painted ostrich egg by South African artist Petro Neethling. International accents include LM Royal Dutch Delft Blue miniature houses, Asian bowls, Arabic copper cookware, and unique Asian art and décor sourced over years of travel. Decorative pieces continue with a Norman Brumm enamel plate (bird motif), the Imperial Salem cobalt-and-gold service plate, a Madonna of Tenderness silver icon, Royal Cauldon Willow made in England, swan planters, and a neoclassical torchiere floor lamp.

Furniture, holiday décor, and the rest of the house

Quality furniture fills every room. The garage adds tools and workshop items for the practical shopper, and a dedicated stash of holiday décor — Santa figures, nativity sets, and Fitz and Floyd Christmas pieces — is set aside for early-season buyers. Bibliophiles should plan time for the curated vintage book collection.
