ANNOUNCING THE ABC STUDIOS “UGLY BETTY” OFFICIAL SET AND 支持 AUCTION
Nye and Company, in conjunction with ABC Studios, proudly announces its
June 2010 sale, consisting of sets and 支持 from the hit television
series “UGLY BETTY”

The New Jersey auction house of Nye and Company will be having a unique
and exclusive sale of many of the items used to create and decorate the
world of Ugly Betty, ABC’s 流行的 电视 显示 that ran from September
2006 to April 2010. On its journey it spawned legions of devoted 粉丝 and
acolytes, who were devastated when the series ended.

They will now have a chance to own a piece of that world when, on June 17,
18 and 19, some 950 lots of furniture, art, decorative items, kitchenware,
toys and many other pieces from the Mode offices (including those of
Wilhelmina, Daniel, Claire, Lindsay, Marc, Alexis and Hartley); the Suarez
house in Queens; the Manhattan apartments of Wilhelmina, Marc and Amanda,
Betty and Molly, as well as a number of lovely miscellaneous items, are to
be offered in an unreserved sale. Each item will come with a signed
Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing that it is an actual piece of
Ugly Betty history.

Starting, as did Betty, with the Mode office, 粉丝 and collectors will be
able to vie for the chance to own 橙子, 橙色 and white file cabinets; white
“lollipop” lamps (including Betty’s personal 台, 办公桌 lamp); display cabinets;
telephones; stacking trays; 台, 办公桌 sets including calculators, pen holders,
magnetic paper clip trays and cups; white and 橙子, 橙色 storage boxes,

silver professional make-up case, its contents, and a number of 照片 of
Marc, Amanda and Halston, both singly and together, round out this
grouping.

The Suarez house yielded a trove of vintage furniture, lamps, art,
kitchenware - including a charming assortment of roosters and salt and
pepper shakers - religious and votive art, Mexican folk art and decorative
pieces, while their hair salon produced 更多 art and some mirrors. Don’t
miss the massive 1950s “Exotica” lamp, which looks like it came straight
from the 雪莉酒, 雪利酒 Miami. There are also a number of African items from the
“African-American dream sequence” episode.

As is to be expected, from Wilhelmina, the 皇后乐队 of Mode, come the most
deluxe selections. Such splendid items as her dining 表 with massive

to quite large; the famous “teddy 熊 drapes”; a white and chrome
rocking chair; ebonized crib; a “Bloom Contemporary Fresco Loft” midnight
