Rare Pair of American Classical Cut Glass Mounted and Gilt Stenciled Burlwood Pier Tables New York, circa 1825-1835, burlwood (possibly burr oak), original shaped marble top over an arched tympanum with stenciled lower border, columnar supports with diamond cut glass capitals and bases, mirrored back flanked by carved and parcel gilt pilasters, ebonized paw feet surmounted by giltwood acanthine scrolls, 37 x 42 x 18-1/2 in., in a fine state of preservation overall, original marble tops with scattered minor discolorations and typical wear, professionally restored finish and gilt stenciling, cut glass mounts in very good overall condition with minor imperfections (not removed for examination), all columns each with two small patches along top and bottom of rear side, columns with scattered shrinkages and some veneer cracks, one table retains original backboard (other with replaced boards), mirror plates appear of the period, feet with later gilt and ebonization, one table with loss to one toe of foot, one table with small molding replacements to rear feet, other general wear and imperfections as expected with age and use

Provenance: According to corresponding documentation, descended in the Mitchell family of Port Washington, Long Island, New York; one table sold via Christie’s, New York, June 3, 1989, lot 76; J. Michael Flanigan, Baltimore, Maryland, May 1991, sold for $35,000; Private Baltimore Collection

The use of cut glass column capitals was an unusual choice among New York cabinetmakers of the early 19th century, making these pier tables exceptionally rare. Very few documented examples displaying cut glass mounts have survived, including a closely related New York card table in the collection of the White House, featuring identically modeled glass capitals, along with a figured oak veneered top—another unusual choice similar to the current lot and possibly the same cabinetmaker. See Betty C. Monkman, The White House, p. 256.

Jimmy Lee Sudduth (American/Alabama, 1910-2007)

Self Portrait, signed “Jim Sudduth” upper left, paint and mud on board, 49-3/4 x 23 in., general wear to wood and rough edges, likely as made, slight loss to paint

Jimmy Lee Sudduth (American/Alabama, 1910-2007)

Couple, signed “Jim Sudduth” recto, paint and mud on board, 48 x 24 in., general wear to wood and rough edges, likely as made, slight loss to paint

Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist in the 1990s; By descent in the Gassenheimer family; Property from a Private Collector

Estimate: $800 - $1,200

A remembrance from the consignor: I was a photographer for Reuters in Washington, DC when I met Pat Gallagher who was a videographer for cable TV. A mutual passion was folk art and together we embarked on a trip through the southeast to meet the prominent folk artists of the day. From this came a trove of black and white and color photographs, oral histories, video of artists at work, and a trailer for the documentary we’d started. Best of all we’re the friendships made and art purchased during this magical time.

Jimmy Lee kept a big bucket of mud-paint beside his chair. He went on walks to collect his art materials. He showed us how he collected and used the elements around him. Poke berries made purple. His studio was outside or on his front porch in the sunshine and he most often used his fingers and other natural objects like sticks and rocks as painting tools. We watched him thumbprint red heads on the figures in his lively painting of the Washington Monument. Jimmy was funny and talented, played a wide variety of music, sang, told jokes and was a great storyteller. He would play harmonica accompanied by his dog “Toto”, who he taught to sing along.

All of the artists we visited loved people, loved that people were interested in their art and what they had to say and actively lived lives of artistic expression every day.

Jesus on the Cross, signed “MOSET” recto, paint on board, 19-3/4 x 10 in., general wear to wood, likely as made, some loss to paint

Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist in December of 1991; By descent in the Gassenheimer family; Property from a Private Collector

Estimate: $600 - $900

A remembrance from the consignor: I was a photographer for Reuters in Washington, DC when I met Pat Gallagher who was a videographer for cable TV. A mutual passion was folk art and together we embarked on a trip through the southeast to meet the prominent folk artists of the day. From this came a trove of black and white and color photographs, oral histories, video of artists at work, and a trailer for the documentary we’d started. Best of all we’re the friendships made and art purchased during this magical time.

Mose T lived in a small house in a Montgomery neighborhood located very near Alabama State University and less than five minutes from the steps of the Alabama State Capitol. There was a sofa on the front porch, usually occupied by a young relative acting as a doorman/guard for Mose. He knew us as friends and more often than not, we talked and laughed for a while and said our goodbyes without talking much about art, but sometimes he would show us new work and we would make a purchase.

Because of an injury sustained during a job, Mose was somewhat disabled and painted from his bed. His bedroom was his studio, office, and parlor so guests were welcomed. It was a happy home with his fantastical creatures, his titillating women, and strong cross art all hung together. Visiting Mose in his home was truly a fun, head spinning experience. He loved to laugh, was always joking and much of the time it was naughty. Especially when we showed up with his favorites- fried chicken and beer- to enjoy together.

Reverend Perkins was a military veteran, he was very patriotic and painted flags to show his devotion to his country. He graced the entrance to his property with them. Flags, crosses, and nautical symbols were his frequent icons. He lived in remote woods and the birds visited in flocks so he hung his painted gourds everywhere for them. A dynamic preacher, he was also a kind and generous man recognizing and celebrating the goodness he saw in the world.

Sometimes B.F. Perkins painted outside on a picnic table but usually painted on his kitchen table. As with each of the outsider artists, creating was an every minute of every day experience. Reverend Perkins loved company and could paint and carry on a conversation at the same time.

Jake McCord referred to these types of portraits as “Pretty Ladies”, portraits inspired by women he would see around town and on the television. Jake was a one-man yard crew and all round handyman. He was the kind of person you’d want for a friend and I was honored to have him paint my portrait.
