Jumbo Lobby Card For “Dracula” Claims Top Lot Honors Heritage Auctions’ Posters Auction Was Nov. 23 And 24 FRIDAY DECEMBER 27, 2019 • VOL. 50, NO. 52

George Nakashima Furniture And Lalique Glass Lead Bodnar’s First Sale Of The New Decade New Jersey Convention And Expo Center In Edison To Host Jan. 4 Auction On Saturday, Jan. 4, 2020, Bodnar’s Auction Sales of Edison, N.J., will host its first sale of the new year, and what a sale it will be. Several local estates found to be full of treasures will cross the auction block with no reserves, sold to the highest bidder. It all started with a phone call from an aunt’s estate in Metuchen, N.J., that had several pieces of George Nakashima furniture. The consignor’s aunt was introduced to this important New Hope, Pa., designer in the 1950s and fell in love with the style and material. Bodnar’s will be offering a Nakashima dining room table with his signature dove-tailed top and a set of six wishbone/grass seated chairs, all estimated at $8,000-$12,000. Hanging on the wall with the set comes a free-floating sideboard with his signature dovetail jointing on the top right, which will be estimated at $2,000-$4,000. A pair of Nakashima cushion chairs will also be estimated at $2,000-$4,000, and some Nakashimastyle living room furniture will also be sold.

An extraordinarily rare jumbo lobby card for “Dracula” (Universal) sold for nearly five times its estimate to bring $192,000 in Heritage Auctions’ Movie Poster Auction Nov. 23 and 24. The 14-by-17-inch card is especially unique because it was owned by actor Bela Lugosi, the actor who played the title role in the 1931 classic. The entire sale brought $2,504,814, the highest grossing movie poster auction of the year. “We knew collectors were going to be excited by this particular piece,” said Grey Smith, director of posters at Heritage. “Not A rare jumbo lobby card for “Dracula” (Universal) sold for only is it of unquestionable nearly five times its estimate to bring $192,000. rarity, the fact it came from Lugosi’s private collection makes it pair of Russian Constructivist posters offered in the sale.

“Henry Arnhold’s Meissen Palace” Celebrating A Collector Exhibition Honors Late Collector And Great Patron Of The Arts

George Katsutoshi Nakashima (1905-90) was an American woodworker, architect, furniture maker, and one of the leading innovators of 20th century furniture design. He is considered among the fathers of the American craft movement. Other mid-century modern material in the auction includes a signed Knoll Saarinen dining table with four tulip chairs, Knoll Saarinen side tables, a swivel egg chair with ottoman, a signed Paul McCobb planters group server, plus other quality Danish furniture. Accessories in this time period will feature a Danish sterling silver flatware set, sterling by George Jenson, a Rosenthal dinnerware set, plus other quality accent pieces and lighting.

This winter, The Frick Collection presents “Henry Arnhold’s Meissen Palace,” an exhibition of works from the famed European porcelain manufactory along with several Asian examples that inspired such wares. The pieces are drawn from the collection of the late Henry H. Arnhold (1921–2018), whose foundation made a promised gift of more than 100 objects to the institution nearly a decade ago and supported the creation of the Portico Gallery, where the exhibition will be shown. Organized by Charlotte Vignon, the Frick’s curator of Decorative Arts, the show offers a fresh take on this esteemed collection, transforming the gallery into an 18th-century “porcelain room,” and grouping the works on view by color. This type of installation emulates a historic approach and allows visitors to experience these fragile, luxurious objects in much the same way one would have in 18th-century Europe. “In looking anew at these wondrous pieces given to the Frick by the late Henry Arnhold, I have considered his attraction to them alongside the fascination they held for the most famous patron of such objects, Augustus II (1670–1733), king of Poland and elector of Saxony. Reflecting on the ways both men lived with their collections, I wanted to explore the idea that Arnhold was creating his own palace of porcelain. Indeed, he acquired many

We hope visitors to the show enjoy looking at these whimsical works through the eyes of both enthusiasts,” said Vignon. An illustrated booklet featuring installation views and a conversation with members of the Arnhold family will be available at the museum.

Morphy’s Coin-Op And Advertising Auction Draws Enthusiastic Turnout, Including Many West Coast Buyers Extremely Rare Caille Brothers “Black Cat” Slot Machine Sells For $96,000 A nickel or quarter dropped into the slot was all it took to try out the irresistible antique coin-op machines entered in Morphy Auctions’ Nov. 20 and 21 auction, but it took more than just pocket change if a bidder wanted to play for “keeps.” The highenergy, 1,475-lot sale took in a robust $2.6 million, with the top lot, a Caille Brothers fivecent “Black Cat” musical upright cabinet slot machine, leading prices realized at $96,000. The very rare Black Cat boasted all-original condition with correct castings, coin head and spinning wheel.

Financial Saving For The Season By Michael Remas You don’t hear or see much about Christmas Clubs these days, but the tradition that began more than 100 years ago of saving money for Christmas is still functioning in many parts of the nation. The idea, believed to have been established in Carlisle, Pa., in 1909, exists on a smaller scale, of course, due to the proliferation of credit cards plus certificates of deposit, money markets and other financial instruments that provide greater interest. Now termed Holiday Clubs by some of the smaller banks, savings and loans and credit unions that still offer them, some with low interest or none at all, the nation’s first Christmas Club began when John Linder, a shoe manufacturer, asked Merkel Landis, Carlisle Trust Co. president, to establish a systematic savings program for his workers. Some reports have said the savings accounts were started for children at the Carlisle Indian School.

Complying an account, the bank established a 50week program of deposits requiring depositors to contribute one cent the first week, two cents the second, and so on until the last deposit at the end of the year was 50 cents. One of the first Christmas savings account booklets, dated 1909, was displayed for many years at the bank. Photographs of the account clearly show it is titled “Christmas Savings Club” and that owner L.B. Harnish, a traveling salesman from Carlisle, received $12.75 after his final payment. Then, big things began to happen. The Yule savings idea grew in popularity at the bank, and, in 1912, a Britishborn traveling salesman, Herbert F. Rawll, acquired rights to Landis’ patented idea, developed it, then sold it to other banks throughout the nation, calling it the Christmas Club. In 1928, according to the bank, Rawll established the Christmas Club as a corporation, with headquarters first

in New York City and later in Easton, Pa. In 1957, Carlisle Trust Co. merged with Dauphin Deposit Corp. of Harrisburg, Pa. Club members have stated that opening an account gave them money for gifts when they needed it most and that the checks received represented money they would not have saved otherwise. Based on the same principle as that established in Carlisle, new members received books with 50 coupons for 50 weekly deposits of 10, 25 or 50 cents, $1, $2, $3, $5 or $10 or up to $20 in some banks. Membership expired in

October or November, when banks mailed checks ranging from $5 to $1,000 and the program for the following year began. In its heyday, Christmas Club checks totaled millions of dollars, with most of it spent for presents as members began their Yule shopping around Thanksgiving or soon thereafter. Some of the overall total went back into savings at the banks, for taxes, year-end bills, insurance, education and winter vacations. Most present day banks and financial institutions don’t offer Christmas Clubs, given they are unprofitable, as account balances are typically low and cashed in near year’s end. But the clubs live on, often as a customer service and sometimes even with small interest. First Savings Bank in Perkasie, Pa., for instance, continued the tradition of offering a gift for opening one of these accounts in 2008, in this case, a handcrafted tree ornament. In addition, it provided interest compounded daily. However, it is the nation’s credit unions that do the bulk of this type of saving today, which continues strong at 72 percent of the institutions, the Credit Union National Association reports. Today, the Dauphin Deposit Corp. is an M&T Bank, according to the Cumberland County Historical Society.

COLLECTOR CHATS WITH PETER S. SEIBERT This Week: New Year’s Resolution Time By Peter Seibert As the end of the year rolls around, it’s a good time to take a step back and assess the needs of your collection. If you have not done an inventory of your collection, this is a great time to do so. As collectors, we are always adding items to our curio cabinet. We rely upon our memories for how much we paid and the source of the piece. That being said, I have seen too many widows and widowers who suddenly have to figure out what the value is of the items they suddenly inherited. More to the point, I have often seen objects that a collector valued highly sold for pennies on the dollar because the provenance has been lost. It is also good to have

serial numbers and other identifying marks recorded so that if there is a robbery or theft, you can alert the police or insurance company as to the loss. Another thing to think about is taking some time to take care of your collection. I have spent the last couple of weeks going through my art collection and replacing wooden backing boards with acid free materials. Prices are not expensive for such materials, and, frankly, you are ensuring that your antiques are going to keep their value. When replacing backing, it is important as well to note that the wooden backboards should be discarded. I knew a really sophisticated collector who felt the acidic wooden backboard was important to keep and so he would reattach the board to the acid free stock that he put

for critters. Renew the mothballs in your blanket chests, inspect behind pictures for silverfish and make sure that musty books have not turned into moldy ones. So take some time this January to invest in your collection. Document, preserve and be vigilant to ensure that your investment will remain strong.

down. Talk about self-defeating. I would also suggest that it is a good time to re-record or re-copy original paper tags that are on items. And if an item has handwritten information on the back, then this is a great time to transcribe that onto a tag that is attached to the work. I recall being in the house of a collector who, while we talked about a painting, told me his wife wiped off the original chalk inscription on the reverse as she thought it was ugly. So to save us from the risks of such things happening, transcribe that information. It’s also a good time to check those wrappings and packaging. Having moved from damp Virginia to dry Wyoming, I have had to go back and check silver, china and textiles to prevent mold from growing. It’s also a good time to check

ring titled “Dream Voyage,” a pair of 14-carat and sapphire fox cufflinks and another 14-carat diamond and ruby Erte ring, all signed and numbered limited editions. There will also be a pair of Joan Michlin 14-carat earrings, and a gold-plated Cartier pen. Rounding out the collection are three stunning marble-based DH Chiparus style figurines. It is undetermined if they are late cast or recast. They have the quality to be a late cast by this artist, and came from a New York City estate. The first is “Semiramis,” the next is “5 Chiparus Dancer,” and the last is “Almeria.” Finishing off this category is mid-century and modern art from names such as Charles Fazzino, James Rizzi, a signed Peter Max “Snow White,” and RC Gorman.

The sale will take place at the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center at 97 Sunfield Ave. in Edison, N.J. The doors will open for preview at 9 a.m., and the sale will begin at 11 a.m. Phone bids and absentee bids are welcome; however, there will be no online bidding.

Palm Beach Modern’s Modern Art And Design Auction Led By $468,000 Lalanne Sheep David Hockney’s Signed “Hotel Acatlan” Lithograph Sells For $67,600

Diego Giacometti’s (Swiss, 19021985) “Oiseau,” bronze sculpture, stamped signature on underside, realized $41,600.

“Mouton” sculptures by Francois-Xavier Lalanne (French 1927-2008). The double-signed sculptures from a 1990 edition of 250 were auctioned separately and consecutively, each with a $150,000$200,000 estimate. Seven phone bidders were in active pursuit. One of them, bidding from Switzerland, prevailed on both sheep with winning bids of $247,000 and $221,000, respectively. The first of three sessions comprising the daylong Modern Art and Design Auction was devoted to ceramics and opened with 19 lots of Ettore Sottsass (Italian, 1917-2007) artist’s proofs from a Miami, Fla., collection. All were prototypes created for Bitossi’s “The Hollywood Collection” and had been

The visually appealing ceramics were 100 percent sold, with the highest-priced piece being a 19.5inch “Totem,” which realized $3,250. Other ceramic highlights included a 1984 Betty Woodman (American, 19302018) monumental earthenware sculpture titled “Roman Reflections,” $16,900, and a large Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) “Hibou Noir Perche” (Perched Black Owl) painted earthenware dish, $13,000. Two lots of abstract paintings proved especially popular with bidders, who pushed

prices beyond the high estimates: a Paul Jenkins (American, 1923-2012) acrylicon-canvas, $41,600 against an estimate of $18,000-$25,000, and a suite of four works in acrylic by Joseph Marioni (American, b. 1943) titled “Opus 17: Umber Meditation First Performance/10.” The quartet more than doubled its high estimate at $28,600. Bronzes have always fared well in PBMA sales. A 62.5-inch figural bronze sculpture by Canadian artist Sorel Etrog (1933-2014) was in step with its estimate, reaching $57,200. Diego Giacometti’s (Swiss, 1902-1985) 7.5-inch bronze avian sculpture titled “Oiseau” surpassed expectations, soaring to $41,600. An entire session was dedicated to prints and editions, owing to their continued strength in the marketplace. The decision to showcase prints paid off handsomely with a 92 percent sellthrough rate. The star lot was a signed David Hockney (British, b. 1937) artist’s proof/lithograph titled “Hotel Acatlan.” Created in 1985 on two sheets of handmade wove paper, it was pencil-signed A.P.

$18,200. Both surpassed their high estimates. Many other prints sold above estimate, including two Ellsworth Kelly lithographs, $7,800 and $9,100; Joan Miro’s (Spanish, 1893-1983) La Harpie aquatint artist’s proof on paper, $9,100; and Yaacov Agam’s “Homage a Tantra” polymorph, $16,900 against a Continued on page 9

A rainy day in the Palm Beaches meant no golf or tennis, but it didn’t stop 120-plus art aficionados from gathering at Palm Beach Modern’s Nov. 9 auction, which totaled $1.8 million and recorded an 85 percent sell-through rate. The auction attracted a record number of bidders, 4,500 from all sources combined and 4,000 via the internet alone. “We pride ourselves on service and making our auctions an enjoyable experience, which includes providing a catered lunch and free valet parking for all who attend,” said Palm Beach Modern Auctions (PBMA) coowner and auctioneer Rico Baca. “When the downpour began on the morning of the sale, we quickly arranged for a canopy to be installed at the front door so guests could arrive dry and comfortable. We think those small touches are important.” Those entering the gallery would have been forgiven for thinking a luxurious petting zoo had been installed. However, the sheep safely grazing there were the sale’s top lots, two ultra-desirable epoxy stone and bronze

A Cup (Or Two) Of Christmas Cheer Smack Dab In The Middle: Design Trends Of The Mid-20th Century By Donald-Brian Johnson Christmas bone china. Most of the year, it’s kept safely tucked away. And then the holiday season is upon us. Those fragile china cups and saucers blink their way into the spotlight, ready to be filled to the brim once again with tea, coffee, or Christmas cheer. Bone china dates from the mid-1700s, and china decorated with holiday motifs has been a consumer favorite since the 1930s. Christmas china received a caffeine-like jolt with the 1982 publication of Tom Hegg’s “A Cup of Christmas Tea.” Easily readable in five minutes (tops), Hegg’s Night Before Christmas-like story in verse exerted a massive tug on America’s heartstrings. A harried modern visits his housebound great-aunt and finds the true “spirit of the season” as the two share “a cup of Christmas tea.” Accompanying

Here is a cup, saucer, and teapot released in 1982, to capitalize on the Tom Hegg/Warren Hanson holiday hit, “A Cup of Christmas Tea.” A mini-edition of the book was also included, with the china marked “Taiwan.” The Christmas candles pattern by Cherryco was marked as “hand painted.” the story are Warren Hanson’s illustrations, including several of great-aunt’s hollybedecked china tea set. Christmas Tea sets soon filled store shelves, complete with mini-editions of the book that inspired them. The tea leaves had spoken. By the dawn of the 21st century, it “just wouldn’t be Christmas” without new or vintage holiday bone

china. Bone china was the 1748 brainchild of London porcelain-maker Thomas Frye. To create his “fine porcelain,” Frye added bone ash to a china clay formula. Animal bones were crushed, reduced to ash at high heat, and mixed into the clay. The result was finished china of superior translucency and whiteness. However, despite favorable comparisons with imports from the continent, Frye’s bone china never r e a l l y caught on. That had to wait for Raised, dimensional holiday flowers and refinements The tree is ready as seen on a “Christmas Eve” teapot embossed ribbon pattern are on this incorporatunmarked (but eye-catching) pair. by Salem. ed by one of

the best-known names in pottery, England’s Josiah Spode. In the early 1790s, Spode developed what remains the standard for bone china, a combo comprised of roughly 25 percent kaolin (china clay), 25 percent china stone, and 50 percent bone ash. While objects with a lesser percentage of bone ash are sometimes marketed as “bone china,” true English bone china must include at least 50 percent bone ash. The greater the percentage of bone ash, the greater bone china’s translucence. Hold a finely made bone china cup up the light, and the outline of your fingers will be clearly visible. The ivory sheerness of bone china’s coloration separates it from the blue-grayishness of untreated porcelain. Early English bone china production was centered in

Thanks to its status as a seasonal novelty, Christmasthemed bone china has plenty of visual leeway. There are sleighing scenes, arrays of flickering candles, rustic Santas, plus, of course, the big three, which are Christmas trees (forests of them), bough after bough of sprightly holly, and a greenhousefull of poinsettias.

Many collectors focus their sights on acquiring “singles” a single cup-and-saucer in a particular holiday pattern, and as many different patterns and stylings as possible. Prices for holiday bone china remain affordable, in the $25 range for a cup-andsaucer “single,” up to $50 when a tea or coffee pot is included. Even with sugar, creamer, and other accessories added, the total rarely tops $100. Although bone china by major manufacturers is usually clearly marked, the markings may have worn off on older pieces and imports. In these cases, translucence is a good bone china indicator.

These sketches provide a window into the artists’ thought processes and served as inspiration for their large-scale paintings. Of particular note are the plein air study and the much larger finished canvas for Gifford’s 1877–79 work “An Indian Summer Day on Claverack Creek.” The collection of paintings are in gilded, 19th-century frames that the artists of the Hudson River School regarded as critical to the aesthetic presentation of their work. The Wigmores were pioneers in collecting the decorative arts, especially furniture and artistic brass furnishings, of the 1870s and 1880s, the period when the Aesthetic Movement was in full favor in America. They concentrated on premier furniture firms, including Herter Brothers and Kimbel & Cabus of New York and A. and H. Lejambre and Daniel Pabst of Philadelphia, that catered to a wealthy clientele. One of the most exceptional examples is a large Herter cabinet with delicate marquetry decoration of butterflies and spiderwebs, intricate carving, and gilding. The Wigmores were among the first to recognize the significance of “art brass” (decorative objects made of bronze), and their impressive holdings include exuberant work by principal makers, notably the Charles Parker Company in Meriden, Conn. The period of the Aesthetic Movement was one in which art infused every aspect of a domestic interior, and the Wigmores have collected in nearly every medium. Their gift includes several large-scale vases from the famed Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati, dating to its first years of operation, as well as Aesthetic silver, primarily from the Gorham Manufacturing Company in

Providence, R.I. The gift also includes four necklaces, three of which are among the evocative art jewelry produced by Louis C. Tiffany in the early years of the 20th century and express his interest in semiprecious stones and enameling. This remarkable promised gift is one of many expressions of the Wigmores’ deep commitment to The Met. Over the past 30 years, they have

donated or made possible numerous significant acquisitions, and they continue to sponsor important exhibitions and scholarly endeavors. About The Met’s 150th Anniversary In 2020, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding with a dynamic range of exhibitions, programs, and public events.

Absolute And Reserve Auctions “What’s It Worth” Antiques Minute By Mike Ivankovich In the simplest form, there are only two types of auctions, auctions with or without reserves. One with reserves allows consignors to sell with a minimum selling price, which is sometimes called a reserve price. If the bidding does not reach the minimum or reserve price, the item will not sell, and the consignor retains title to it. An auction without reserves is more commonly called an absolute auction. These are auctions without a minimum or reserve price. In an absolute auction, the highest bidder is the winning bidder, and title to the merchandise is transferred when the auctioneer says sold, whether the consignor is happy with the selling price or not. Considering that the Uniform Commercial Code states that all auctions shall be considered “With Reserve” unless stated otherwise, why in the world would anyone want to risk their merchandise selling at absolute auction when they could protect themselves with a reserve? I hear this question all the time, and frankly I consider it to be the #1 obstacle to people consigning to public auction. Believe it or not, there is a good answer to this question, and it is predicated upon the

very premise that makes the auction process work. You need to understand that regardless of who the auctioneer is, where the auction is taking place, or what the merchandise is, the primary reason bidders go to an auction is in the pursuit of a bargain. If they wanted to pay retail price, they could go to a retail store and buy something off the shelf. No, people go to auctions looking for bargains. And if prospective bidders knew that everything in an auction was being sold with a reserve, they would not go to that auction. And without bidders, you don’t have an auction. It’s as simple as that. Most auctioneers use absolute auction in order to attract the greatest number of prospective bidders, and once the bidders are at the auction, let the bidding begin. The more bidders who attend an auction, generally

the higher the prices because of the heightened bidding competition. This contrasts with a reserve auction, where the item for sale may not be sold if the final bid is not high enough to satisfy the seller. Although a reserve auction may generally be considered safer by the seller than an absolute auction, reserve auctions generally result in a lower final price due to the decreased bidding competition. This doesn’t mean that auctioneers never use reserves. They do. Rather it means that reserves are generally implemented only for certain types of merchandise and only in certain situations. Many auctioneers will be willing to accept a reserve on a high value item, where the consignor’s potential risk could be great. In these instances, most auctioneers believe that even with the reserve, the item will most likely sell to the highest bidder. However, you should understand that if you and the auctioneer agree to a reserve price, and if that reserve price is not met, you may have to pay the auctioneer a commission based upon that reserve price. This is called a buy-back fee. What’s it

worth? Some auctioneers charge a buy-back fee that can range from the full commission rate to a fraction of it, perhaps 50 percent to zero. When used, the buy-back fee is intended to cover the auctioneer’s expenses incurred in trying to sell the item. For example, with a 20-percent commission rate, a $1,000 reserve
