Vander Sande Collection | Session I | March 12, 2025

The Collection of John B. and Marie-Teresa Vander Sande was cultivated over a lifetime of shared interest and enthusiasm. It began when John was a Fulbright Scholar, completing his postdoctoral studies at Oxford. There, on weekends, he would go out to some of the famous local cathedrals to take rubbings of the monumental brasses usually set into the floor of such places. This practice helped seed within him a passion for antiques and old things, something he would take back to the states, a souvenir of his time abroad. Once stateside Marie-Teresa’s sister gave the couple a book by Wallace Nutting, in which John spotted a picture of a Connecticut side chair the couple owned. This shaped John’s appreciation for the antique into a passion for early New England furniture, a passion that his wife would soon embrace as well. Together, they cultivated “collections of collections” of antiques–from glass to ceramics to furniture– from 17th and 18th century New England, their reputations in the antique world growing all the while.

John approached antiques with the analytical eye of a microscopist and engineer, fascinated by the details of this early furniture, both in the wood and in the design. In addition to his standard engineering courses, he taught a class for first year students at MIT, in which he taught students how to construct a box with hand tools and 17th century techniques, starting with unmilled logs. Massachusetts furniture of the 17th and 18th centuries was an early passion of John’s, before narrowing to that of Essex County of the same period. By contrast, his wife Marie, though no less exacting, took a more open handed approach. If John was vacillating on purchasing an object, “I would say ‘Just buy it,’ and he’d always say ‘Now wait just a minute…’” she recounts, “He put the breaks on where I said ‘go for it.’” Despite the varying levels of caution, there was little disagreement. “I don’t remember the arguments,” Marie says, “At most there was regret that we passed on a certain piece.”

The Vander Sandes were most captivated by the human element of their pieces. The right combination of elements— knowing the hands that made them and the places they were created— gave a piece greater odds of finding a home in their collections of collections. Signatures, dates, being pictured in

An Important Early New England Collection | Session I Taking the High Road

reference books like the Nutting book that started it all, anything that could communicate or draw a link to the human element of a given piece was prized beyond measure, especially the ability to link it back to a specific craftsman. It made the pieces more than just constructions of dead wood. As such, the Vander Sande collection boasts an impressive number of pieces with known, historic makers, and in some cases a chronological series of pieces that allow one to see how a single person’s craft evolved in style and skill over their lifetime.

Finding such acute enjoyment in that facet of their collection is perhaps why it became so all-encompassing. John and Marie would talk about their passion in the car and over coffee, and read books on the subject to each other before turning in for the night. While their home was full of the fruits of their collecting, Marie was quick to say “We didn’t live in a museum, though some thought we did. We raised a family there.” They emphasized the human element, using their prizes as they were designed to be used, rather than simply displaying them. Together, the Vander Sandes accrued a collection of practically everything one could expect a household of the time period by which they were so enamored to have. From furniture of the Pilgrim Century, William and Mary, and Queen Anne periods, to Bellarmine, Westerwald, Staffordshire, and Delft ceramics, to candlesticks and glass, to needlework and jewelry caskets; Their 17th century house on High Road in Newbury, Massachusetts, with its wide plank floors and open hearth, was a living time capsule, the perfect showcase and the epitome of a New England home from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Within this lovingly curated collection, John’s favorites included 17th century case pieces and chests, Ipswich furniture, particularly that of Thomas Dennis, and North Essex furniture. Marie fondly remembers a shared favorite, a spice box from the late 1600s. Likewise, Marie envisions her husband, in Heaven, speaking animatedly to the craftsmen he so appreciated and the experts he learned from about their shared love of the field and passion for each-other’s work. We hope you take this sale as an opportunity to do the same, and write yourself into the next chapter of the history of these storied pieces.

Rare and Important Boston Shell and Beadwork Armorial Overmantle Hatchment circa 1729, large rectangular composition of shells, beads, and other materials on a painted vermilion and indigo ground, mounted on a single white pine board, the central cartouche featuring coat of arms of Grant and Cookson, Cookson half with trapunto painted lion faces, Grant half with three beadwork rampant lions, flanked by lattice and rosette decoration, 20-1/2 x 61-1/4 in.; possibly original frame with carved decoration and textured and gilt fillet; both the mounting board and the frame are white pine, by micro analysis, 26-1/2 x 67-1/4 x 2-3/4 in., Fragile construction with loose elements and scattered losses throughout, (see detailed photos), frame retains early glass, the moldings with minor bumps and abrasions, paint transfer at top edge, and wear to paint and gilt (frame is possibly original, panel has applied 1/2 inch strips at edges, either accounting for shrinkage or suggesting it was slightly expanded to fit this frame).

Provenance: Collection of John B. and Marie-Teresa Vander Sande, Newbury, Massachusetts

Estimate: $100,000 - $150,000

This extraordinary shell and beadwork composition was likely made to commemorate the marriage of Samuel Grant (1705-1784) to Elizabeth Cookson (1708-1778), recorded as having occurred on January 1st, 1729. Grant was an upholsterer based at the Crown and Cushion on Union Street in Boston, Massachusetts, where he catered to an elite clientele and was known for fastidious record keeping. He also served in a number of important official roles in Boston, such as town selectman in 1747 and 1757, and town moderator in 1768.

An exceptionally rare and possibly unique survival from early colonial Boston, this composition offers a rare window into the world of an upholsterer who may have made or commissioned this overmantle at the time of his marriage. The vermilion ground is in keeping with the work of some japanners of the period working in Boston, and it also may have been made by one of those craftsmen. The shell and beadwork also suggests a connection to the early shell, wax and rolled paper sconces of the period (Grant is recorded exporting beeswax to England, signaling his access to this material). This rare hatchment may have graced a dramatic and exotic interior that included such Japanned high chests and mirrors, or elaborate sconces. With its vermilion and indigo ground and rich, vibrant colors, this overmantle would have been a dynamic visual complement to a japanned high chest. The Grant and Cookson marriage and the likely timing of the creation of this hatchment coincided with a booming Boston economy as well as the height of taste for japanned furniture. The possible connection between japanners and this hatchment is suggested by John Gore, a successful japanner, who is recorded later in the century having painted and framed a coat of arms for £2.

17th Century Document Relating to Boston Cabinetmaker, Henry Messenger circa 1680, deed of sale between parties William Clough and Henry Messenger, and his heirs and assigns, also Daniel and Mary Matthews, retained wax seals, framed, overall 21 x 31-1/2 in., good overall, foxing, fading, wear and losses at periphery and fold intersections

Provenance: Collection of John B. and Marie-Teresa Vander Sande, Newbury, Massachusetts

Estimate: $300 - $500

Henry Messenger (working dates, 1640-1681) and his wife Sarah, were residents of Boston prior to the year 1640. He was the first known proprietor, as appears by the Book of Possessions, of the land on which now stands the building owned and occupied by the Massachusetts Historical Society, and a part of that now covered by the Boston Museum. His house and garden were bounded on the west by the street leading to the common, now Tremont street; on the north by land of Richard Crychley; on the east by land of Major Sedgewick; and on the south by land of Thomas Scottow and the burying place. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1658; a freeman in 1665; and by trade a joiner. His will was dated March 15, 1672, and his signature, written in the old style, is quite distinct. He probably died in 1681, as his property was appraised (at £496 9s 6d), April 30th, of that year. He leaves his estate to his wife, with power to divide it as she may choose among her children, with the exception of his eldest son John, to whom he bequeaths “Five shillings and no more, for reasons best known to myself.”
