Considered a revivalist craftsman, his work had a unique style, incorporating a then-modern ’50s aesthetic and early Pennsylvania German techniques. Seagreaves was known for his sgraffito decorating and use of bold, colorful glazes. The mid 20th century, leading up to the nation’s Bicentennial, was a time ripe for revivalist arts, and a renaissance was taking place rooted in Pennsylvania German traditional crafts.

George Washington’s home base throughout the War of Independence. In it, he planned military campaigns, met with allies, and wrote his correspondence. Inherited by Mary Anna Randolph Custis Lee, the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington and wife of Robert E. Lee, the tent was abandoned when Lee fled her home and then rescued from destruction by Selina Gray, an enslaved person at the Arlington House. Half a century later, and after a series of legal battles between the Lee family and the U.S. government, the tent was returned to the descendants of the Lee family. The Regional History Colloquium is a series of presentations hosted by LancasterHistory.org throughout the year. Presenters at the colloquium are scholars and historians who have completed works on historical topics relating to southeastern Pennsylvania and its wider borders. This event will take place in Ryder Hall at LancasterHistory.org, 230 N. President Ave. in Lancaster, Pa. A speaker’s reception will begin at 4 p.m., followed by the main presentation at 4:30 p.m. The lecture is free and open to the public.

COLLECTOR CHATS WITH PETER S. SEIBERT This Week: It’s Just Plain Ugly As collectors, we are often called to comment upon others’ collections, and like most of us, we fall back upon our mother’s lessons to say nothing ill of anyone. Still, it is part of being a collector for sure. Aesthetics is one of those elements in collecting that is hard to pin down. It is sometimes attached to the concept of having “the eye,” as collectors call it. The eye is the ability to see a great item from a good piece. The eye is something that, in my opinion, you can be born with or you can develop with lots of work. The

Many years ago, on a planet far, far away, I was asked to go into the house of a prominent Harrisburg collector. She showed me around, and in an upstairs bedchamber, she showed me her prized New

Fast forward a few years to a visit to the home of a colleague in the museum business. He came from a distinguished and old family (we were actually distant cousins on our extended family trees) and had a number of heirlooms. In this case, the pieces were ugly not because of the design but because of neglect. I was surprised because as a history museum director, he would have known that the pieces were in poor shape and looked pretty bad. He asked my opinion, but I never could really express it.

England highboy. It was one of the singularly ugliest objects that I had ever seen. The piece was period and right, but the scale of everything was off visually. The feet were huge, the ankles were too fat, the knees too bony and the case was out of proportion. As a piece of Queen Anne furniture, it really should have been returned to the 18th-century maker as being subpar. But that aside, how do you comment upon it to the owner? Well, I waxed about the feet at some length but then ran out of things to say.

Pennsylvanian, grew up in the antiques business and remains closely tied to auction houses, collectors, and dealers. Professionally, he has served as a museum director and public historian in Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Virginia. He holds an M.A. in American Studies from Penn State and has authored two books and numerous articles on decorative arts, interior Peter Seibert, a native design, and history.

key part is that you have to spend time with lots of stuff in order to do so. Many of my colleagues who teach about material culture miss that as they focus upon books and images rather than things or buildings. One needs to be with things in order to develop an understanding for them and, ultimately, to build that mysterious eye.

Early on, Seagreaves had a source for locally dug clay near Kempton and signed work with his initials, “JS.” He soon changed to “JCS” due to the fact a period potter (John Snyder of Mohrsville, Berks County) used “JS,” and Seagreaves wanted to both stand alone and not take the risk of having pieces be mistaken for non-contemporary work. Some collectors specialize in collecting his “JS” pieces, which were done during a short period of around 1958-60. Seagreaves was especially known for his press-molded birds that were cast from original molds he created. Following his death, the majority of molds were destroyed so they could not be used again. Among the rarer items he created were face jugs and fish whistles. Major collectors of Seagreaves pottery included the late dealer, Mary Snyder of Reinholds. Verna was a skilled folk painter but never produced her artwork on a prolific scale. She was a music teacher by trade. In 1966, Jim and Verna joined the Reading-Berks Chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftmen. Like her husband, Verna’s artwork is known for the use of bold colors. She also assisted Jim in his pottery studio. She often

Hassinger & Courtney To Sell Items Of A Former Local Newspaper Printer And Historian Middleburg’s Edwin Charles’ Collection To Be Sold April 6 And 7 than 30 years, Charles retired, ending an era of exactly 50 years of service to the newspaper by the family. During retirement, he continued to supply the Post “Flashbacks” for the front page of each week’s issue and items from the Post files of past years, which appeared on the second page of the paper. One of his memorable pieces as a printer was the publication of excerpts from his father’s diary kept during a journey on the canal from Port Trevorton, Pa., to New York City in 1888. Like his ancestors, Charles kept

journals. He printed the experiences compiled by his grandfather, Henry Fitzgerald Charles, during service as a cavalryman in the Civil War, which he and his brother, John, prepared the narrative for. Those works were titled “Henry Fitzgerald Charles, Civil War Record 1862-1865.” Charles’ vast accumulation of local historical items will be sold at the Freeburg Fire Hall, located at 15 W. Market St., Freeburg, Pa. For further information, call Hassinger & Courtney The Charles family has a long history of association with the Middleburg Post at 570-539-8791 or visit in Middleburg, Pa. (Snyder County). www.hassingercourtney.com.

Great Expectations Plan For Your Stuff

By Andrew Richmond In one of my early columns, I discussed the importance of getting a realistic sense of the value of your collection in today’s market. As that, in my opinion, is such an important step in the planning process that it cannot be discussed enough, let’s talk about it a bit more. Many collectors have been collecting for years, and they can probably recall many highs and lows in the marketplace. However, many of those same

collectors, those who may now be planning for the dispersal of their collections, haven’t actively participated in the marketplace in years. As a result, those collectors’ perceptions of the value of their collections do not likely accurately reflect today’s marketplace. When I was in the auction business and discussed the market and potential selling prices with a consignor, I was always conservative. I didn’t “lowball” estimates, but I did offer estimates that might be preceded by the words “on a bad day at auction.” Of course, those estimates weren’t always the estimates published in the catalog, but they were a starting point for an honest, sometimes brutally honest, conversation about what to expect from today’s marketplace. These conversations weren’t always pleasant,

antiquesandauctionnews.net but I always told the sellers yourself via online auction that if you’re going to be databases, there are many unhappy about prices, better ways to gain a current perto do so now rather than when spective of value. The imporyou receive a disappointingly tant thing here is that you do it. small check after the sale.

Yes,

many categories of antiques are bringing less than they did in years past. But don’t let the (often exaggerated) doom and gloom market reports prevent you from doing your homework. If you (or your family) begin the process of selling your collection without an accurate sense of its current value, you are likely to be unhappy when the check arrives.

now call American Modernism. It tells a story that is unique to the museum, examining the collection’s development since the 1920s and the role that the city of Philadelphia played in promoting modernism in the first half of the 20th century. While previous publications have focused on European and American modernism, this one considers what it meant to be American and to be modern, exploring how these artists challenged convention without abandoning recognizable elements from the world around them. In addition to focusing on internationally acclaimed artists from the circle of photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, including Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Charles Sheeler, Smith also considers those who contributed significantly to the art of the United States during their day but have been left outside the mainstream of art history, whether due to their race, gender, or social standing. “American Modernism: Highlights from the Philadelphia Museum of Art” will be available online via www.philamuseum.org or in the museum store beginning in April (paper-over-board, $35).

Rare And Unique Pieces In High Demand At Cowan’s A Rare 1831 English Intarsia Patchwork Pictorial Table Cover Sold For $25,200 Cowan’s proved itself as one of the premier folk art and Americana auction houses as rare and unique pieces from those categories drew intense interest in its recent Fine and Decorative Art Auction on March 10. It was also a good day for the antique furniture, Asian art, and fine silver categories, all of which saw numerous lots soar past their estimates. The top lot of the day was an exceptional 1831 English intarsia patchwork pictorial table cover that sold for

international bidder. In the realm of folk art, the top lot of the day was an exquisite Timothy Tansel (American, 1809-52) engraved horn beaker that sold for $16,200. The Tansel family was well known for their engraved powder horns that featured

This China Trade carved patriotic eagle plaque sold for $8,400. $25,200 (including a 20 percent buyer’s premium). The broadcloth cover features a central round medallion decorated with 12 birds surrounded by 14 pictorial panels. Most notable among the panels was a scene of a giraffe accompanied by three men in Middle Eastern dress, believed to be a depiction of an 1827 gift of a giraffe from Muhammad Ali of Egypt to King George IV of the United Kingdom. The animal died after just two years in England, likely due to poor health exacerbated by the long journey and the English climate, but became a symbol of the disliked British monarch among the commoners. “Most intarsia pieces that still exist today are in the hands of institutional collections, and textile collectors couldn’t wait to try to add this incredible piece to their collection,” said Leah Vogelpohl, Cowan’s decorative art specialist. “Most intarsia pieces favor a consistent theme of birds, animals, or flowers. It’s extremely rare to find one with the variety of figural details in this cover, especially ones that feature so many humans. Unlike traditional appliqué, intarsia requires every minute detail to be hand sewn to the pieces around it so this piece likely took several years to finish.” Three phone bidders and an online bidder battled back and forth for several minutes with the online bidder and one of the phone bidders bowing out when prices pushed past the high estimate of $10,000. Going in $500 increments, an American and international phone bidder exchanged bids for several more minutes before the lot hammered for $21,000 to the

patriotic motifs such as the spread-winged American eagle. While several dozen Tansel powder horns exist, beakers are far rarer with most known examples residing in private collections. Collectors were clearly excited at the prospect of getting their hands on the

beaker as eight phone bidders sent the lot well above its $5,000 estimate. Other folk art and Americana highlights included a China Trade carved patriotic eagle plaque that sold for $8,400; a rare Sweet Orr & Co. tin lithographed advertising sign in near mint condition for $6,150; a Paul Revere engraving of Boston from Royal American Magazine, ca. 1774, for $4,613; a set of cast iron pheasant-form andirons for $3,240; and a chip-carved folk art crooked knife with coffin and tintype inlay for $2,520. For the second time in 2018, Cowan’s saw excellent prices in the Asian art category, headlined by a set of Chinese square vases that sold for $11,685. Likely from the 19th century, the pair of porcelain vases with flared necks and square, tapering bodies were decorated with a blue, organic motif ground

Multiple telephone bidders took this lot well past its $8,000-$12,000 estimate to a world record price of $54,450 for the artist’s watercolors. It came from a prominent Piedmont (Calif.) estate. Next to soar past its estimate was a Circle of Domenico Feti (Italian, 1589-1624) oil

This watercolor, titled “Kentucky River Near Jessamine Creek,” by Paul Sawyier (American, 1865-1917), sold for a world record price of $54,450 for the artist’s watercolors. painting titled “St. Jerome” (circa 1615-24). A recent deaccession from the Triton Museum of Santa Clara, Calif., this 17th-century rare work sold for $57,475. Last, but not least of the top three highest performers was the painting, “Red-Haired Acrobat” (1944), by New York artist Walt Kuhn (American, 1877-1949), selling for $60,500. Robert Wood (American, 1889-1979) was known for painting many different landscape locales, but one particular area with its abundant charming purple wildflowers

is the most sought after. “Bluebonnet Time in Texas” is one such work, and it blossomed, selling for $24,200. Portuguese artist Silva Porto (1850-93) is an uncommon sight in California or most anywhere in the U.S. Once noticed, however, his works command high prices internationally, which was the case with his oil-on-canvas, “Village Street Corner With Figure.” This work doubled its estimate, selling for $12,100.

Personal Collection Of Ruth Bryson Of Quarryville, Pa., To Be Sold April 14 Highly Anticipated Auction Held By Pook & Pook To Include Early Pennsylvania German Folk Art Mrs. Ruth Bryson was a distinguished antiques dealer and collector in Quarryville, Pa., who passed away in July 2017. On Saturday, April 14, Pook & Pook Inc. has the privilege to auction her collection, comprising just over 300 lots. Born in 1929 in Quarryville, Bryson was the daughter of the late Ira and Okie Shumate. She was a 1952 graduate of Lebanon Valley College, and two years later married Jack Bryson, a native of Ephrata, Pa. The couple soon moved their growing family to New Jersey. Bryson began her career in antiques setting up at antique shows in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It was something she wanted to do, always having had a love

This Schtockschnitzler Simmons (Berks County, Pa., active 1885-1910) carved and painted parrot on a turned base retains its original polychrome surface. It stands 10 inches high and will be estimated at $8,000-$10,000.

of antiques. Her husband, whom she always described as a “very supportive driver and porter,” learned about the wide world of antiques alongside her and helped turn her passion into a business. Opening a shop of her own was always an aspired goal. In 1982, as Jack approached retirement, the family purchased a property in Quarryville on Route 222. “It was good living in New Jersey,” Bryson once said, “but there’s something about Lancaster County that’s always a draw.” On weekends, the Brysons began restoring their farmhouse and the three-story 1840s barn to fulfill Ruth’s dream. In 1986, Country Lane Antiques opened for business, and the lovingly restored property became a haven for Ruth’s top-shelf collection of early Pennsylvania German folk art. Covering two floors, the shop was stocked full of blanket chests, schranks, corner cupboards, chairs, high chests, paintings, coverlets,

baskets, and much more. Ruth believed that quality counted when it came to antiques and tended to favor the sturdy, large and colorful furnishings of Pennsylvania German craft, especially those made locally in Lancaster County. The items in the April 14 sale embody the very best antiques Lancaster County has to offer, with lots encompassing every nook and cranny of Pennsylvania German culture, including fraktur, carvings, folk portraits, samplers, baskets, weathervanes, and pottery, with a myriad of other enchanting goodies in between. Beginning Bryson’s sale will be objects representing the distinct and unmistakable elements of Pennsylvania German aesthetic: bright colors and natural imagery. The first lot in the sale will be a carved and painted parrot attributed to “Schtockschnitzler” Simmons (est. $8,000-$12,000), the selftaught cane carver of Berks County. Next, bidders will be scrambling to get their hands

There will be six lots of watercolor folk portraits and landscapes

by German-born artist Jacob Maentel. Examples of fraktur will be interspersed throughout the sale, including a printed and hand-colored birth certificate, ca. 1797, by Georg Friedrich Speyer (est. $2,000-$4,000), and on their own piece of two examples by Samuel Lancaster County artistry from Bentz, “The Mount Pleasant Bryson’s collection of painted Artist,” ca. 1790 and 1834 (est. wooden boxes.
