PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF

ARTHUR GROSS Doyle is pleased to auction property from the Estate of Arthur Gross. A true gentleman, Artie was highly regarded and much-loved by his peers in the American furniture and decorative arts trade. In the 1960s Artie owned Kaye & Gross, an antiques shop in Manhattan’s East 70s, when he met a young Bill Doyle, who had opened his own antiques store in the East 80s, which became Doyle Auctioneers & Appraisers. Artie and Bill established a friendship through their shared passion for Americana. Artie had a deep, scholarly knowledge of American furniture, which he generously shared with collectors, curators and others in the trade. An avid angler, Artie spent winters fishing in the Florida Keys and summers in the waters off Long Island. In retirement he moved with his wife, Maryjane, to Northport on Long Island’s North Shore, where he surrounded himself with his beloved collection. Property from the Estate of Arthur Gross comprises lots 13, 17, 20, 27, 29, 182, 188, 195, 202, 233, 235, 241, 252, 274, 277, 281, 283, 287, 315.

BILL FIDDLER EXPLORES

WILLIAM TROST RICHARDS’ KING ARTHUR’S CASTLE

16 DOYLE • NEW YORK


20 William Trost Richards American, 1833-1905 King Arthur’s Castle, Tintagel, Cornwall, England, 1889 Signed Wm T Richards and dated 89 (ll); inscribed as titled on a paper label affixed to the stretcher Oil on canvas 18 x 30 1/8 inches C Property of the Estate of Arthur Gross $20,000-30,000

In this work Richards revisits a subject he treated many times, each one a study in the differing atmospheric conditions of the locale. Here the light breaks through the clouds, illuminating the ruins of Tintagel castle with a warm glow. Even though a few waves are lapping at the cliffs, the sea is rather calm. The whole of the composition expresses a serene magnificence. In contrast, a version of the same scene owned by the Brooklyn Museum, The League Long Breakers Thundering the Reef, portrays the castle illuminated in a more dramatic light shadowed by dark clouds above a rough sea which creates a more tumultuous scene.

In the collection of the Brooklyn Museum William Trost Richards (American, 1833-1905). The League Long Breakers Thundering on the Reef, 1887. Oil on canvas, 28 3/16 x 44 1/8in. (71.6 x 112.1cm). Brooklyn Museum, Bequest of Alice C. Crowell, 32.140 (Photo: Brooklyn Museum, 32.140_SL1.jpg)

ALBERT BIER STADT As the best-known early painter of the American West, Albert Bierstadt was largely responsible for introducing eastern audiences to the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada ranges. The artist was a skilled promoter of his own work, resulting in financial and critical success during his life-time. There was a resurgence of interest in the artist’s legacy in the 20th century due to the re-examination of his intimate oil studies.

Lot 57

Albert Bierstadt was born in Solingen, Germany in 1830 and emigrated with his family to New Bedford, Massachusetts as a young child. Largely self-taught, he began to advertise himself to the community as a drawing instructor. In the 1850s, Bierstadt traveled back to Germany to study painting in Dusseldorf. Though he was not a student at the Dusseldorf Academy, he developed friendships with Emanuel Leutze and Worthington Whittredge, both of whom became informal mentors to him. After three years in Dusseldorf, Bierstadt and Whittredge went on an extended tour of Europe, creating sketches along the way. By 1857, Bierstadt had returned to New Bedford. The following year, he exhibited a large painting of Lake Lucerne in the Swiss Alps at the National Academy of Design in New York. The work’s warm reception was the young artist’s first taste of success and showcased his potential as a painter of romantic mountainous landscapes. In 1859, Bierstadt joined a surveying expedition to the Rocky Mountains led by Colonel Frederick W. Lander. This would be the first of many trips west for the artist. On these sojourns he produced copious sketches, often in oil, which he would later use to compose large, panoramic canvases. Upon his return from the expedition, Bierstadt established himself in a studio on 10th Street in New York and began work on the first of these monumental vistas. When exhibited in the early 1860s, the panoramas were praised for their romantic portrayal of the American West as a new Eden.

Bierstadt continued to travel out west for the rest of his life, earning enormous financial and critical success from his labors. He was elected a full Academician of the National Academy of Design, earned an audience with Queen Victoria to present two of his paintings, and won commissions from the US Congress to create two murals for the Capitol Building. As tastes changed, Bierstadt’s large canvases began to fall out of favor. The rise in popularity of the Barbizon School and later the Impressionists made his paintings look oldfashioned to contemporary audiences. Except among collectors such as Thomas Gilcrease, who had a particular interest in American art of the west, Bierstadt’s work was not reconsidered until the latter half of the 20th century. A series of exhibitions in the 1960s focused on Bierstadt’s oil sketches once again captivated audiences. These works uniquely highlight the artist’s attention to color, and exhibit his confident brushwork, which appealed to modern sensibilities. Bierstadt’s studies were executed with a directness not unlike the art being created by contemporary figures. Indeed, the palette of high-key salmon tones against the neutral greys and silhouetted horizon of Sunset over the Trees could easily be compared to the Rothko works being lauded around that time. These intimate sketches document Bierstadt’s observations of nature and were an integral part of the process he used to compose his vast theatrical landscapes.

DR. ROBERT THORNTON’S

TEMPLE OF FLORA 48 DOYLE • NEW YORK


A

Dr. Robert Thornton’s Temple of Flora is the most ambitious British flower book of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The Temple of Flora is the third and final volume of the New illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus, published in London from 1799 through 1807. It showcases the discoveries of Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus, who had developed and published a new system of plant classification. Thornton commissioned notable artists, including Philip Reinagle and Peter Henderson, and engravers such as Richard Earlom, James Caldwall, and Thomas Sutherland to create innovative floral studies. The volume featured approximately 32 hand-colored floral engravings executed using various printmaking techniques including stipple engraving, mezzotint, and aquatint. These dramatic floral prints were depicted with vibrant colors and sumptuous textures within unusual settings that were based on their natural habitats.

PRINTS 92 Dr. Robert Thornton, publisher (1768-1837) TULIPS; A GROUP OF CARNATIONS Two hand-colored color mezzotints, the first after Philip Reinagle, the second after Peter Henderson, from The Temple of Flora, London, 1798 and 1803, respectively, with good margins, framed.

The New York lithographers Currier & Ives were the leading publishers of the 19th century. Established by Nathaniel Currier in 1835 and expanded to include James Merritt Ives in 1857, the firm went on to produce over 7,500 prints over the next 50 years. The prints created by Currier & Ives depict iconic themes such as farm life, the home, children, sports and leisure, and historical events that are uniquely American. The firm employed several artists to make their prints come to life, including Louis Maurer, Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, George Henry Durrie, Charles Parsons, and Frances Flora Palmer. Of these artists, Frances Flora Palmer, who frequently went by the name Fanny, would become the most notable.

As did many in the 19th century, Fanny Palmer immigrated to New York from England. Once settled in Manhattan, Fanny and her husband, Edmund Seymour Palmer, operated a small print shop for several years. Fanny began working with Nathaniel Currier after closing her family business around 1849. Their collaboration thrived for almost 25 years and resulted in the creation of over 200 prints, impressions of which continue to educate and delight since they first adorned the walls of American homes almost two centuries ago.

CYNTHIA KLEIN EXPLORES

An engraving after Albert Bierstadt’s The Rocky Mountains (Lander’s Peak) This grand view is based on Albert Bierstadt’s monumental painting, The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak, which the artist created in 1863, following his first trip to the American West in 1859 to accompany the government survey exhibition led by Colonel Frederick W. Lander. Saddened by the Colonel’s death in the Civil War, Bierstadt named the central mountain in the Wyoming landscape Lander’s Peak. The painting was widely celebrated at the time by eastern United States audiences eager for images of the American West, and before sending the painting on tour, Bierstadt commissioned American painter and printmaker James D. Smillie (1833-1909) to reproduce it as an engraving, the impressions of which both promoted his work as well as generated funds. Prints such as these, through their wide distribution, were also instrumental in convincing the government to enact measures to help conserve the wildlife in Yellowstone Park. Bierstadt sold the painting in 1865 for a record sum, and then bought it back and sold or gave it to his brother Edward. It now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to awe and inspire. And impressions of the engraving, Smillie’s most celebrated work, such as this early artist’s proof, continue to be sought after and enjoyed by collectors.

This grand view from the banks of Yellowstone National Park is from Thomas Moran’s most important published work, based on watercolors resulting from his time spent on Ferdinand V. Hayden’s 1871 groundbreaking expedition to northwestern Wyoming. Louis Prang, considered the greatest color printer of his time, translated Moran’s fine watercolor into print form using the chromolithograph technique, utilizing multiple lithographic stones to achieve the great depth of color of the original. A masterpiece of American chromolithography, the series catapulted Prang to the pinnacle of American printmaking toward the end of the 19th century.

TODD SELL EXPLORES

The Chrysanthemum Pattern ByTiffany & Co. The year 1880 saw the introduction of one of Tiffany & Co.’s most important and desired flatware patterns Indian Chrysanthemum (Indian was soon dropped from the name). The man responsible was Charles T. Grosjean, Tiffany’s head of silverware and one of the most talented silver designers of the late 19th century. Grosjean helped Tiffany & Co. to become known for world class silver that rivaled anything being made in England and Europe. His innovative designs include the Lap Over Edge, English King and Wave Edge patterns, some of Tiffany’s most popular flatware patterns of all time. 68 DOYLE • NEW YORK


Chrysanthemum pattern is richly decorated with chrysanthemum flowers and buds enveloped in a rich foliate background. It was likely inspired by the craze for all things Japanese that swept America after the opening of Japan to the West and the Japanese exhibit at the Centennial Exposition held in Philadelphia in 1876. The incorporation of natural elements into design was long a tradition in Japanese art and the chrysanthemum holds a special place in their culture as the flower associated with the Imperial family. The designs for Chrysanthemum flatware and hollow ware perfectly reflect the Victorian taste for the new and exotic. In an interesting twist, the reverse of the handle is as complex and elaborate as the front side which added to the luxuriousness (and cost!) of Chrysanthemum pattern flatware. In keeping with the extravagant modes of Gilded Age entertaining, Chrysanthemum pattern was one of the most extensive flatware patterns that Tiffany & Co. ever made. There was a place piece designed specifically for any and every type of food one could imagine with fantastical serving pieces to match. Full services of flatware could run into the many hundreds of pieces with dozens of individual pieces for use at each table setting. Many pieces leave modern diners puzzled: exactly when would you use a terrapin fork – and what is terrapin anyway? Today there is debate over whether Tiffany & Co. designed flatware pieces to supply customer demand, or if they produced these specialized pieces thereby creating a whole new market? Nevertheless sardine forks,

strawberry forks, game forks and knives, chowder spoons, chocolate spoons, citrus spoons, and sorbet spoons (certainly not to be confused with ice cream spoons or ice cream forks) formed parts of these large services that swelled to as many as 146 different pieces. It wasn’t until 1926 when the US Department of Commerce put an end to this folly by passing regulations to limit flatware services to only fifty-seven different pieces in an attempt to reduce silver production in a time of a severe silver shortage in America. Indeed Emily Post even weighed in on the order commenting “no rule of etiquette is of less importance than which fork we use”.

In the late 19th century, Tiffany & Co. also began to design full lines of hollowware to match their flatware patterns. Again Chrysanthemum pattern lent perfectly to this trend with swirls of chrysanthemum flowers and foliage clinging to tea and coffee services, candlesticks and centerpieces. Tiffany’s creative engravers also went above and beyond with the monograms they designed for customers incorporating the chrysanthemum flowers and buds into foliate letters that form part of the decoration. And in a time when all flatware could be monogramed for free, this elaborate monogramming was attractive enough that Tiffany & Co. charged extra for this privilege. And the Chrysanthemum pattern was already among Tiffany & Co.’s most expensive

In this period flatware was largely sold by weight and Chrysanthemum pattern was the highest priced of any of Tiffany’s flatware patterns selling at $1.35 per ounce as compared to the more plain patterns that sold for $1 per ounce. And there was up to three times more silver per piece in Chrysanthemum flatware than in those other patterns putting this pattern at the very top of the expense scale. The weight and feel of Chrysanthemum pattern flatware still strikes 70 DOYLE • NEW YORK

modern diners. The hollowware also sold at a premium due to the immense labour and finishing required for each piece: in 1891 a seven piece Chrysanthemum pattern tea and coffee service retailed for $1,800, or the equivalent of over $50,000 today. A complete flatware and table service would have been a lifetime’s wages for the ordinary working American, but Chrysanthemum pattern was clearly designed for the very top of American Gilded Age Society. Charles Grosjean died at only 47 years of age, leaving Chrysanthemum pattern as one of his most beloved and desired designs. With production having begun in 1880, Chrysanthemum pattern remained a top seller with Tiffany & Co. until it was discontinued in 1934 in the midst of the Great Depression. But its luster and appeal have never faded and it was reintroduced less than a generation later and remains in production today. A table set with Tiffany’s exquisite Chrysanthemum pattern flatware and hollowware still manages to look as elegant and timeless today as it did over a century ago. 125 Tiffany & Co.

BALTI MORE SILVER 19th century American silversmiths were among the most creative and prolific in history. The nation’s

vast wealth, generated by its rising industrial might and entrepreneurial ingenuity, saw the burgeoning of a society consumed with finding new ways to showcase their growing prosperity. Silversmiths across

the country rose to the challenge with fresh ideas for objects meant to demonstrate their clients’ wealth and appreciation of the latest fashions. As these firms jostled for attention, they each developed new

patterns and models meant to catch the consumer’s eye from across a crowded shop floor. No one did

this better than the talented silversmiths of Baltimore, whose distinctive floral repousse pattern is still known as “Baltimore Silver”.

One of America’s great early silversmiths, Samuel Kirk (1793-1872) was descended from a long line of English silversmiths on both sides of his family. After apprenticing with silversmiths in Philadelphia, he moved to Baltimore and set up shop in the bustling port city in 1815. The opening of Kirk’s first store marks the founding of America’s oldest operating silversmith and the beginning of a silver empire. His finely-crafted wares would go on to grace the dining tables and sideboards of many of America’s most distinguished families. Early in his career, Kirk introduced a chased floral repoussé pattern that has since become synonymous with American silver. Chasing silver (a method of decoration where the silversmith uses hammers and punches to work a sheet of silver without removing any of the metal) was an ancient technique used by European silversmiths throughout history. Kirk’s richly chased pattern, still known generically as “Baltimore Silver”, was perfect for large tea services, soup tureens, punch sets and flatware and has remained in constant production since its creation. When examining silver that preceded Kirk’s, one is struck by the restraint of the styles produced by noted 18th century American silversmiths. Works by Paul Revere, for example, are often devoid of any decoration. The Classical period (first quarter 19th century) certainly saw the introduction of bands of scrolls and foliage to newly exaggerated silver forms, but Samuel Kirk’s floral repoussé (the technique by which silver is worked from the reverse to push out a design, again without the loss of metal) goes beyond Classical decoration to envelop pieces entirely in a rich carpet of flowers and foliage.

The inspiration for “Baltimore Silver” appears to be something of a mystery. One reference may have been the silver of British India’s native craftsmen, who certainly loved to decorate their works with foliate scrolls that often incorporated figures and native animals like elephants and tigers. In the early 19th century, Baltimore’s harbor was one of the busiest in the country. Ships returning from the subcontinent may have brought pieces back for the wealthy merchant class, giving Kirk the opportunity to examine silver from British India firsthand. Regency England’s silversmiths also used a more restrained version of this style, but Kirk’s clients clearly demanded something new and entirely original. Garner & Winchester Coin Silver Monteith Lexington, Kentucky circa 1845. Sold at Doyle for $22,500.

Like any popular fashion, Kirk’s local competitors were quick to copy the style. Firms such as the Stieff Company, the Schofield Company, and Hennegan Bates Co. all began to churn out slight variations to the pattern. Rare and desirable pieces by these makers include architectural and figural scenes incorporated amongst the foliage. “Baltimore Silver” proved so popular across the country that Northern firms such as Tiffany & Co. and Gorham Mfg. Co. created similar patterns to compete with this distinctly Southern style. Doyle has sold pieces of mid 19th century silver that were clearly made in Baltimore and yet carry retailers marks from Kentucky, showing how widely pieces were sold. For almost two hundred years, Americans have been crazy for “Baltimore Silver”. While the 20th century started off well for America’s silversmiths, two world wars, a depression, and changing fashions leading to less formal entertaining each took their toll on Baltimore’s great silver firms. Stieff bought Schofield in 1967 and then their old rival Kirk in 1979. Consolidation in 1999 saw the closing of the last silver factory in Baltimore as the renamed Kirk-Stieff Company moved all their silver production to New Jersey, Rhode Island and Puerto Rico. The Kirk hallmark lives on, however, and patterns of floral repousse flatware and holloware are still made for people who love and appreciate this great American style.

The Audubon Pattern ByTiffany & Co.

With the opening of Japan to the West by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1854, America and the West was suddenly struck by the “Japan Craze.” Japanese art and design was novel and different to Americans who quickly learned to appreciate the simple beauty and elegance of the works and sought ways to incorporate them into their lives. At the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1867, Japan displayed works by Meiji craftsmen further captivating the Western audience which included Edward C. Moore of New York’s Tiffany & Co. Edward C. Moore was Tiffany’s head of silver from 1868 to his death in 1891 and the company’s creativity flourished under his direction. Clearly enchanted by what he encountered at the exposition in Paris, Moore would go on to ensemble a notable collection of Asian art, paintings and books from which he drew inspirations for Tiffany’s Japanesque silver (pieces from Moore’s personal collection are planned to be on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit Collecting Inspiration: Edward C. Moore at Tiffany & Co.).

Created in 1871, Tiffany’s Japanese pattern was the first American flatware pattern to incorporate any Asian design. The race was close however with rival Gorham’s similar flatware pattern appearing only months later. Japanese pattern depicts Asian birds drawn from scroll paintings. Moore thought the paintings were Japanese, but in fact most of the birds depicted are actually native to China. One of the most unusual characteristics of the pattern was that it was perhaps one of the first flatware patterns in the world to have multiple motifs in the same service. When diners sat down to the table, their place setting would include different birds on each of the forks, knives and spoons they would use at the meal.


Japanese pattern was created at huge expense by Tiffany’s skilled craftsmen. It was offered in a vast array of place pieces with a wealth of various servers to compliment them. Decoration of pieces was taken to a new level of refinement with “one-of-a-kind” decoration added to many of the knife blades, spoon bowls and serving pieces. Fantastical geometric patterns inspired by Asian art grace pieces which were then gilded in various shades of yellow and rose gold. A variety of finishes were also applied so that matte grounds contrast with frosted and shiny finishes to dazzle in candlelit dining rooms. Japanese pattern pieces that retain their original decoration in crisp fresh condition are especially coveted by collectors today. In another example of Tiffany & Co.’s great artistic talent, monograms used in the pattern sometimes were done in pseudoJapanese characters to highlight the exoticism of the pattern. In 1904 Japanese pattern was dropped from Tiffany’s flatware line as a victim of changing tastes, but it was revived in 1956 and renamed Audubon pattern after the great American naturalist

John James Audubon who in reality had nothing to do with the design of the pattern. Audubon pattern continues to be made and is Tiffany’s most popular active pattern today. Today with a relaxation in the rules of formal dining, mixing and matching of flatware is certainly a delightful way to enliven a dining table. Beautiful Japanese or Audubon pattern serving pieces and flatware can add contrast and are perfect for rounding out a well-set dining table.

COULD THE COCKTAIL BE AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE? The world is blessed with a sterling silver object for every occasion. Birth of a child? Silver spoons, mugs and rattles provide cherished gifts. Lunch or dinner? At one count there were over 1400 different flatware patterns made in America over the last century. Tea time? Of course we have teapots, cream jugs, sugar bowls and tongs. Cocktail hour? Oh yes, the most important tool of the trade, the cocktail shaker! Americans have always been drinkers – the average American imbibed five shots of rum per day in the late 18th century. This was not a sign of a decaying, decadent society. Benjamin Franklin probably spoke for most Americans of the time when he said “in wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria”! For much of America’s past, alcohol was actually a safer option to quench a thirst – certainly healthier than the water in America’s crowded and unsanitary cities. Wine was imported from abroad and thus expensive and reserved for the rich; beer was the drink of the masses; punch was drunk at taverns where people gathered together around the communal punch bowl; but mixed cocktails slowly began to carve a niche in American society.

Jerry, Thomas, How to mix drinks: or, The bon-vivant’s companion, presumed first edition. Sold for $2,500.

The first reference to a cocktail is in passing in 1806. A cocktail is alcohol mixed with either fruit juices, milk or cream. By the1860s, bartenders were becoming real celebrities as they dazzled the crowds with their delicious concoctions and theatrical presentation. The first bartenders’ guidebook appeared in 1862, written by Jerry Thomas. Thomas was part barman and part entertainer whose signature Blue Blazer was lit on fire and poured between two glasses creating an arc of fire. Our modern notion of a long bar with mirrored backing began to come into fashion in the 1870s to showcase these. Thomas and other American bartenders traveled Europe bringing the rage for cocktails across the ocean where the cocktail was heralded as modern and very American. The spectacle of the cocktail scene may be the reason why it is only in 1917 that we have news of the first “cocktail party” hosted by Mrs. Julius Walsh Jr. of St. Louis who held this novel event for fifty friends at her home, one hour before Sunday lunch.

But as the trend for drinking martinis, daiquiris and Manhattans advanced, so did the voices of critics who saw alcohol as a vice hindering the country in its relentless march to progress. Rampant overdrinking by Americans of every social class saw the introduction of Prohibition across the country in 1920. It is amazing that a government order enacted to “protect” society should instead have given rise to organized crime on a scale not seen before. It also failed to quench America’s thirst for alcohol but instead drove it underground and back into the home. Interestingly, the private ownership and consumption of alcohol was never illegal during this period. Cocktail culture suffered however, as the quality of available spirits declined and professional bartenders went abroad to continue their trade.

Prohibition did not kill the cocktail. Mixing poor quality alcohol with sweet fruit juices made for a quick delicious drink that could be downed in multiples and in haste lest your favourite speakeasy be raided by the cops. Home bars sprung up in the corner of every living room or library as Americans took up a “do-it-yourself” attitude with keeping the spirits flowing. The cocktail shaker as we know it had been patented in 1872 and by the Roaring Twenties, American silversmiths like Tiffany & Co. were creating some of the shakers that have since become great collectors pieces. Novelty shakers took the form of golf sets, lighthouses, zeppelins, airplanes and even penguins. A whole collecting field was thus born! 1933 saw the repeal of Prohibition, but whereas the ban on alcohol had been rolled out countrywide in one fell swoop, the repeal was passed by Washington to the States who then often passed the responsibility to their counties resulting in a patchwork of wet and dry counties which lingers today. The late 1930s and 1940s saw

94 DOYLE • NEW YORK

cocktails regain their place in culture with frequent appearances in the most glamourous of Hollywood movies and hitting the airwaves in songs like “Rum and Coca-Cola”. GIs coming back from the Pacific War brought the Hawaiian Tiki Bar with them and the 1950s saw a resurgence in the home mixologist. Flash forward another fifty years and cocktails have seen a renaissance with popular TV shows like Mad Men giving a new generation an appetite for cocktails, and ensuring that silver cocktail shakers are still a necessity in every wellappointed home. 174 Tiffany & Co.

R I C C E U S H T HOME The excitement, color, characters, and action of the circus have long inspired artists, particularly in the twentieth century. Pablo Picasso was known to have frequented the Cirque Medrano in Montmartre and his early career included several images of circus figures, including the Family of Saltimbanques at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Alexander Calder’s Grand Cirque was created from 1926-1931 and is part of the permanent collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Doyle has been fortunate to sell various circus-themed works, whether it be folk art from the 20th century; a cast iron mechanical bank; a lithograph by Chagall; or a painting by Bernard Buffet. Works on this theme in the upcoming sale include a group of circus figures from Tiffany & Co.

Gene Moore arrived in New York from Birmingham, Alabama. He longed to create in a town known for its art and theater. For over forty years, Moore used his talents to create rotating three-dimensional artwork for Tiffany’s windows. He used radical and witty designs to draw in potenial customers who strolled past. Moore contrasted everyday objects with the precious and refined jewelry in the windows. During his long-standing relationship with Tiffany & Co., he eventually designed jewelry and silver for the firm. In 1997, he created a three-piece child’s tableware set adorned with clowns, circus figures, horses and elephants. Enameling is the process of fusing glass particles onto metal with heat. The colored particles, or powder, melt at the right temperature and harden to a smooth vitreous coating when cool. While there are many different variations of enameling producing different affects, these figures were probably done by enamel painting. This takes skill and precision to place the colors in the exact spot and create minute details. The silver circus figures created in the 1990s incorporate the circus’ childlike spirit and comical imagery such as the clown mother pushing the baby clown in the stroller or the bear wearing a party hat on roller skates. It is curious to think about what inspired Moore to create these fun figures. Was it a love for the circus like Charles Lewis Tiffany? The founder of Tiffany & Co. once created a jeweled silver horse carriage as a wedding gift from circus legend P.T. Barnum to the performer General Tom Thumb and his wife.

Tiffany has always been on the cusp of current trends. Perhaps Moore was influenced by the 1988 Big Apple Circus that participated in the first U.S circus collaboration with China in history, at Lincoln Center. Or maybe it was just a love of the whimsy that came from the circus. An advertisement in Orange Coast Magazine, December 1998 stated these “sterling silver and enamel circus figurines will be so cute in the baby’s room. Not appropriate for teething purposes”.

JOSÉ FORMOSA REYES BASKETS

104 DOYLE • NEW YORK


Nantucket lightship baskets weave a story of the area’s culture and history. In the mid-19th century, using imported rattan, sailors began making baskets while in isolation on the South Shoal lightship. Lightships acted as floating lighthouses equipped with a foghorn to alert ships passing south of Nantucket. With idle hands and the right materials on the ships, the crew began crafting “lightship” baskets to give as gifts to wives and girlfriends or to sell. The early baskets were utilitarian in shape, either round or oval with a single handle. Three signature elements of the early baskets were the use of rattan, a mold for a precise shape, and a solid wooden base. Most weavers knew each other, teaching each other the tricks of the trade and passing the culture down to future generations. Perhaps one of the most well-known basket makers, José Formosa Reyes, came to Nantucket from the Philippines with a knowledge of basket weaving and made over 5,000 baskets from 1948-1978. Reyes popularized the friendship basket pocketbook form well known today, with added carved decoration to the top and fastened lids to make them more versatile. Reyes began calling the purses friendship baskets, and it was even a tradition for young girls to receive a basket when they graduated high school. Another prominent maker was Harry A. Hilbert. He started making Nantucket style baskets in 1970 in Wilton, Connecticut. He used intricate inlays and turnings as well as rare and exotic woods. They were, however, sold on Main Street in Nantucket. Today, Nantucket baskets are still made and collected, with some collectors amassing a variety of makers and forms. Others have their single basket purse, which goes along with them to outings and shopping expeditions in the warmer months. 193 José Formosa Reyes Lidded Lightship Basket Nantucket, MA, 1960s-70s Depicting a whale.

POWDER O S HORN LEIGH KENDRICK EXPLORES

Eighteenth century engraved powder horns reveal a great deal of information about early life in America. These prized possessions were carried by farmers, hunters in the unexplored wilderness, and then onto battlefields. The horns from oxen or cows were scraped and polished to carry gunpowder for their musket, fowler, flintlock rifle, or pistol. The horn proved to be a lightweight, waterproof, and fireproof option to carry powder that was both plentiful and affordable. It could also serve as a canteen for water or a container for salt. The curve of the horn, attached to a hunting rifle by a long strap or slung across the shoulder, fit to the natural form of the body. While a practical necessity, an engraved horn also reflected the life of the man carrying it, documenting his interests and serving as a souvenir of his travels. The prime of engraved powder horns was during the French and Indian War (1754 to 1763) and the American Revolutionary War (1775 to 1783). European and English powder horns from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries were made out of bovine horn, stag horn or tortoiseshell.

114 DOYLE • NEW YORK

In the early 1700s, American horns were unadorned. Decorating them helped pass the time and distinguish one soldier’s horn from another. With a pocket knife or engraver’s tool, letters, dates, names, locations, animals, etc., were scratched into the horn. Brown paint was rubbed into the decoration to highlight the designs. By the time of the French and Indian War, the nature of battles had changed in America. The expeditions and sieges were longer, so there was downtime in forts or around campfires. Men personalized their horns to commemorate battles, sometimes including maps of the terrain on which they had fought. This was also a time where soldiers travelled on uncharted land, previously known only to fur traders. Few printed paper maps existed, so adding maps to horns was a way to guide the frontiersmen. An example of a powder horn in this sale includes several forts, bodies of water and towns. John Kane inscribed his name on the horn along with the Royal arms of the United Kingdom. British coats of arms were common on horns owned by British officers and American colonists.


The map carved on this example includes markings of various forts including Edward, George, Miller, Still Water, Half Moon, and Hunter in the Hudson and Mohawk River Valleys that run through New York state and over to Canada. Not all the soldiers were literate, so spelling mistakes are common. In this example we see “F. Bruinton� for Fort Brewerton, which was established in 1759, North of Syracuse. With the proliferation of new gun technologies by the mid-19th century, powder horns fell out of fashion as guns required more powder than a horn could hold. Soldiers instead used metal powder flasks or cartridges and the horns became commodity items sold in general stores. As such, the engraved powder horn offered is a true early American relic carried by one John Kane through the forests, fields and towns of New York two hundred and sixty years ago.

Novelty Pipes Towards the end of the eighteenth century, Staffordshire potters began to create playful puzzle and novelty pipes. These fanciful pipes were much more than a smoking essential; they were more imaginative and artistic than they were practical. They could be elaborately scrolled showpieces or modeled as well-known figures. These intricate and colorful pipes served to highlight the potter’s skill in handling clay, and were highly decorative ornaments on a chimney piece. This group of Three Staffordshire Pearlware Novelty Pipes includes a coiled snake seen consuming a pipe bowl with the mouthpiece as the tail end of the snake. In Old English Pipes, printed in the 1906 September issue of The Connoisseur, M.H.H. Macartney comments that “looking at examples from this period it is hard to believe that these pipes were made for actual use”. While it was possible to smoke through these forms, the pipes were fragile and would have proved difficult to clean after use. The figural pipe showing a seated woman, with a fish handle, is of the famous Regency period “dipper” Martha Gunn. Hailed as “the Venerable Priestess of the Bath”, Gunn would take bathers in and out of the waters in Brighton in small wooden crates pulled by horses. Gunn kept bathers afloat, pushed them through the waves, and assisted them back to the bathing machines to pull them ashore.

134 DOYLE • NEW YORK

As sea bathing became more popular, so did Gunn, with her dipping career spanning over sixty years. She was an early 19th century celebrity and a favorite of George IV. These pipes have had long lives because they were meant to be showpieces, rarely if ever smoked, and kept on display, waiting to be the center of conversation. While smoking from a three-coiled snake, a seahorse, or a Martha Gunn may prove to be difficult, what is undeniable is their appealing style and form. Whether placed on your mantle or laid on a coffee table, these pipes are sure to capture the attention of many. With their lively colors and recognizable subjects these novelty pipes make a great addition to a current collection or the start of a new one.

CAROUSEL FIGURE OF A PIG When thinking of a carousel or merry-go-round, most recall brightly-colored fiberglass horses, twinkling lights and cheerful music in the parks or fairs of present day; however, decades and centuries prior, carousels included a variety of different types of animals – hand-carved, hand-painted, with expressions and glass eyes that sparkled. The earliest carousels appeared at European carnivals and fairs and included animals hanging from chains or poles from a canopy top, held by a single central pole, but no bottom platform. Our carousel pig was probably inspired by pigs made by a French carver, Gustave Bayol (1859-1931). Decades ago it would have dazzled with a multicolored saddle and carved ribbons to adorn it. The glass eyes would have caught the light as the carousel went around. Maybe our pig once hung from chains on a carousel where “pigs fly.” In the late eighteenth century, an English inventor named John Joseph Merlin created a Mechanical Museum in London. One of the attractions was a device with wooden horses supported by pillars for ladies and gentleman to ride, an early form of carousel. In the United States, the carousel developed as an amusement ride with a rotating platform with seats for riders, commonly in the shapes of horses or other animals. American carousels also travelled with the carnival and could be found in parks at the ends of trolley lines. The “Golden Age of Carousels” in the United States was from the 1890s-1920s, when European carvers emigrated to the United States. These classicallytrained cabinet makers and wood carvers for interior and architectural ornament came from France, Germany, and Russia. These men often took inspiration from live animal in zoos and travelling circuses. French and German carousels often included classic jumpers or those standing or prancing in formal poses.

136 DOYLE • NEW YORK

There are several American workshops that were also creating distinctive styles of horses, all different in decoration and form: Philadelphia, Coney Island, and County Fair style. Animals from the different workshops are part of a niche market of collecting. American carvers also included different animals in carousels such as giraffes, bears, and hippos. Gustave Bayol apprenticed with his father who was a woodcarver and cabinetmaker in Avignon, France and founded the Angers School of Carving. He began to make ornamental woodwork probably for architecture, then started carving carousel horses. His specialty in farm animals was influenced by the rural clientele in France. He often created a carousel with a single type of animal, so there would be several different forms and sizes of pigs for example, and started his own school for carousel carving. Bayol created carousel animals for government facilities and carousels on the grounds of private chateaux. He was considered the premier carousel maker in France and was known for his fanciful carvings of farm animals such as cows, cats, rabbits, donkeys and pigs. His animals were characterized by animated expressions, ribbons and bows, bells, and sometimes voice mechanisms. His pigs often had long ears and a dangling tongue. Bayol’s farm animals were wildly popular and copies were done by his contemporaries and beyond. During the World Wars, carnivals worldwide shut down and amusement parks were bulldozed; many of the original carousels were lost. Today the animals are often made of fiberglass or aluminum, and original carved wood examples are collected as folk art. The wooden carousel figures, including this charming beribboned pig, evoke a nostalgia for childhood fun, and seemingly simpler times.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. BINDING TERMS

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Doyle New York as owner or as agent for consignor subject to the following terms and conditions. Where Doyle is agent, the contract is between seller and buyer. The following Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee constitute the entire agreement with the purchaser relative to the property listed in this catalogue. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms:

2. AS IS

All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to such lots, except for the limited warranties expressly stated in the Terms of Guarantee section of this catalogue. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the auction takes place, to determine its condition, size, and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. Except as otherwise expressly and specifically provided in the Terms of Guarantee, neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging; nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The Terms of Guarantee are controlling, and no statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in this catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. All statements by Doyle New York in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Except as stated in the Terms of Guarantee, neither Doyle New York nor the seller is responsible in any way for errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry. Doyle New York and its consignor make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Doyle New York expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalogue.

The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Doyle New York relating to a lot, including the contents of this catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of Doyle New York and shall not be used by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent.

3. WITHDRAWAL

Doyle New York reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time prior to the commencement of bidding for such lot and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

4. RESERVES

If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient, he may reject that advance. Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. No reserve will exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with the consignor or, in the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of Doyle New York. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. Lots marked C preceding the estimate are consigned and reserved. Those marked • are reserved property in which Doyle New York has an interest. Doyle New York on occasion makes loans or advances funds to consignors. The auctioneer may implement the reserve by opening bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Unless otherwise noted in the catalogue or by an announcement at the auction, Doyle New York acts as agent on behalf of the seller and does not permit the seller to bid on his or her own property.

5. ESTIMATES

Each lot in the catalogue is given a low and high estimate representing that range which, in the opinion of Doyle New York, represents a fair and probable auction value. When possible, the estimate is based on previous auction records of comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenances. The estimates are often determined several months before a sale and are therefore subject to change upon further research of the property, or to reflect market conditions or currency fluctuations. Estimates are subject to revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the Specialist Department for further information.

6. BIDDING

Doyle New York reserves the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. The auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, and to combine any two or more lots. In the event of error or dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid, whether during or after the sale, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Doyle New York sale record shall be conclusive.

7. PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITY

Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder, subject to the conditions of sale set forth herein. Such bidder there upon assumes full risk and responsibility there for (including, without limitation, liability for or damage to frames and glass covering prints, paintings or other works). Although in our discretion we will execute orders or absentee bids or accept telephone bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at auctions, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith. When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price as follows, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Doyle New York before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Doyle New York, and that Doyle New York will look only to the principal for payment: The total purchase price to be paid by purchaser is the amount of the successful bid price plus a premium of 25% on the first $300,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion of the hammer price from $300,001 through $3,000,000, and 12.5% on that portion of the hammer price exceeding $3,000,000. Payment of each lot shall be made as follows: A cash deposit of not less than 25% of the purchase price (unless the whole purchase price is required at the sole discretion of Doyle New York) will be paid on the day of the auction. Deposits shall apply to all purchases made at this sale and not to any one particular lot.

Subject to the exclusions set forth below in paragraphs 5 and 6, Doyle New York warrants the authorship (as that term is defined above) of each lot in this catalogue for a period of five years from the date of the sale of the lot.

The guarantee is made only to the original purchaser of record at the auction, and only the registered bidder for the lot at the auction will be considered as the original purchaser. The buyer must give written notice of claim within five years from the date of the auction. Doyle New York may require, at its option, to have the purchaser obtain at the purchaser’s expense the opinion of two recognized experts (approved by Doyle New York) in the field relating to the item in question, before Doyle New York determines whether to rescind a sale under the above warranty. Upon request, Doyle New York will provide the purchaser with the names of acceptable experts.

3. NON-ASSIGNABILITY

The benefits of this warranty are not assignable and shall be applicable only to the original purchaser of record (i.e., the registered bidder) and not to any subsequent owners (including, without limitation, donees, heirs, successors, beneficiaries or assigns) who have, or may acquire, an interest in any purchased property. The original buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party.

4. SOLE REMEDY

The purchaser agrees that in the case of a breach of warranty under these Terms of Guarantee, he shall have no remedy other than rescission of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid. The original purchase price paid is defined as the amount of the successful bid price, plus the buyer’s premium. No rescission and refund will be made unless the item is returned to Doyle New York at 175 East 87th Street, New York, NY 10128, in the same condition as at the time of sale. The remedy of rescission and refund is exclusive and the purchaser waives any other remedy which may be otherwise available in law or equity. Doyle New York shall not be liable for any special, consequential or incidental damages incurred or claimed including, without limitation, loss of profits or for interest.

5. EXCLUSIONS

This warranty does not apply to: i. authorship of any paintings, drawings or sculpture created prior to 1870, unless the lot is determined to be a counterfeit which has a value at the date of the claim for rescission which is materially less than the purchase price paid for the lot; or ii. any catalogue description where it was specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of specialist opinion on the authorship of a lot; or iii. authorship which on the date of sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and specialists, despite the subsequent discovery of new information, whether historical or physical, concerning the artist or craftsman, his students, school, workshop or followers; or iv. the identification of periods or dates of execution which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue, or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use at the time of publication of the catalogue. The term counterfeit is defined as a modern fake or forgery, made less than fifty years ago, and made with the intent to deceive. The authenticity of signatures, monograms, initials or other similar indications of authorship is expressly excluded as a controlling factor in determining whether a work is a counterfeit under the meaning of this Terms of Warranty.

6. LIMITED WARRANTY

As stated in paragraph 2 of the Conditions of Sale, neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any express or implied representations or warranties whatsoever concerning any property in the catalogue, including without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, except as specifically and expressly provided in these Terms of Guarantee.

INFORMATION ON SALES AND USE TAX RELATED TO PURCHASES AT AUCTION To better assist our clients, we have prepared the following information on Sales and Use Tax related to property purchased at auction.

WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK IS NOT REQUIRED TO COLLECT SALES TAX

WHY DOYLE NEW YORK COLLECTS SALES TAX

If the property is delivered to a state where Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to self-assess any sales or use tax and remit it to taxing authorities in that state.

Virtually all State Sales Tax Laws require a corporation to register with the State’s Tax Authorities and collect and remit sales tax if the corporation maintains a presence within the state, such as offices. In the states that impose sales tax, Tax Laws require an auction house, with a presence in the state, to register as a sales tax collector, and remit sales tax collected to the state. New York sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property picked up or delivered in New York, regardless of the state or country in which the purchaser resides or does business.

WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK COLLECTS SALES TAX For any property collected or received by the purchaser in New York City, such property is subject to sales tax at the existing New York State and City rate of 8.875%. If the property is delivered into any of the states in which Doyle New York is registered, Doyle New York is required by law to collect and remit the appropriate sales tax in effect in the state where the property is delivered. Property collected from Doyle New York premises by common carriers on behalf of the purchaser for delivery to the purchaser at his address outside of New York is not subject to New York Sales Tax. If it is delivered by the common carrier to any of the states where Doyle New York is required to collect sales tax, applicable tax will be added to the purchase price.

V

Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax for property delivered to the purchaser outside of the United States.

RESTORATION AND OTHER SERVICES Regardless of where the property is subsequently transported, if any framing or restoration services are performed in New York, it is considered to be a delivery of the property to the purchaser in New York, and Doyle New York will be required to collect the 8.875% New York sales tax.

LOCAL TAX ADVISORS As sales tax laws vary from state to state, Doyle New York recommends that clients with questions regarding the application of sales or use taxes to property purchased at auction seek tax advice form their local tax advisors.

CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS Most states that impose sales taxes allow for specified exemptions to the tax. For example, a registered re-seller such as a registered art dealer may purchase without incurring a tax liability, and Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax from such re-seller. The art dealer, when re-selling the property, may be required to charge sales tax to its client, or the client may be required to self-assess sales or use tax upon acquiring the property. If a not-for-profit or charitable organization is selling property through Doyle New York, it may be sold as a tax exempted purchase. The not-for-profit seller must be registered with the New York Department of Taxation and Finance as an exempt organization and the property must be picked up or delivered in New York. However, a compensating use tax is due from the buyer if any such lot is shipped to any of the states where Doyle New York maintains offices. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due. Buyers claiming exemption from sales tax must have the appropriate documentation on file with Doyle New York prior to the release of the property.


BUYING AT DOYLE Since 1963, Doyle New York has built a worldwide reputation for expertise, integrity and service. In our New York salesrooms, we hold approximately forty auctions annually featuring fine art, jewelry, furniture, decorative arts, books, prints, couture and a variety of other categories. Our global audience of buyers and sellers know the quality of our sales and appreciate our standard of service. If you are new to the auction process, please take a moment to review the following information. The following will help in understanding the auction buying process. All bidders should read the Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee in this catalogue, as well as the Glossary or any other notices. By bidding at auction, bidders are bound by the Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee, as amended by oral announcements or posted notices, which together form the sale contract between the successful bidder (purchaser), Doyle New York and the seller (consignor) of the lot.

BEFORE YOU BID Doyle New York produces both printed and Internet auction catalogues that contain descriptions of the property being offered and the presale estimates and are available prior to the sale date. Our free Internet catalogues, available at Doyle.com, also provide illustrations, direct communication with our specialists, and the ability to leave online absentee bids and track lots. The catalogues will help familiarize you with property being offered at the designated auction. In addition, Doyle.com offers a free Internet Personal Shopper that allows collectors to enter keywords of objects they are seeking. As each Internet auction catalogue is posted online, the collector is notified by email of any matches. A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require the production of bank or other financial references. PROVENANCE In certain circumstances, Doyle New York may print in the catalogue the history of ownership of a work of art if such information contributes to scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists in distinguishing the work of art. However, the identity of the seller or previous owners may not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example, such information may be excluded to accommodate a seller’s request for confidentiality or because the identity of prior owners is unknown given the age of the work of art. SPECIALIST’S ADVICE Prospective bidders may be interested in specific information not included in the catalogue description of a lot. For additional information please contact either a Doyle New York specialist or Doyle New York’s Client Services Department. You may also request a condition report from the specialist in charge.

BIDDING AT AUCTION Auctions are open to the public without any admission fee or obligation to bid. Pre-auction viewings are open to the public free of charge. Doyle New York’s specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment. The auctioneer introduces the objects for sale - known as “lots” in numerical order as listed in the catalogue. The auctioneer accepts bids from those present in the salesroom, from telephone bidders, from Internet bidders or by absentee written bids left with Doyle New York in advance of the auction. LIVE BIDDING The most exciting way to participate at auction is the traditional method of bidding live in the salesroom with an auction paddle. Buyers who would like to bid may register for a paddle on the day of the sale upon entering the salesroom at least 30 minutes before the sale. The paddle is numbered so as to identify you to the auctioneer. To register, you will need a form of identification such as a driver’s license or credit card. If you are a first-time bidder, you will also be asked for your address, phone number and signature and a bank reference in order to create your account. To avoid any delay in the release of purchases, please pre-arrange check or credit approval through Doyle New York’s Credit Department at 212-427-4141 ext. 205. If you are bidding for someone else, you will need to provide a letter from that person authorizing you to bid on that person’s behalf. Issuance of a bid paddle is in Doyle New York’s sole discretion. Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids, in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. As a courtesy to bidders, a currency board may be operated. It displays the lot number and current bid in both U.S. dollars and foreign currency. Exchange rates are approximations based on recent exchange rate information and should not be relied upon as a precise invoice amount. Doyle New York assumes no responsibility for any error or omission in foreign or United States currency amounts shown.

ABSENTEE BIDDING For buyers unable to participate live in the salesroom or on the telephone, Doyle offers the option of Absentee Bids. Absentee Bids work exactly as if the bidder were in the salesroom bidding up to a predetermined price limit, except that the price limit is given confidentially to Doyle ahead of time. Absentee Bid Forms are available on our Web site, in our printed catalogues, and through our Client Services Department. Return the completed Absentee Bid Form to Doyle New York either by mail or by fax. When the lot that you are interested in comes up for sale, a Doyle New York representative will execute the bid on your behalf, making every effort to purchase the item for as little as possible and never exceeding your limit. The auctioneer may execute absentee bids directly from the rostrum, identifying these as “absentee bids,” “book bids,” or “order bids.” This service is free and confidential. For detailed instructions and information, please see the Doyle New York Absentee Bid Form at the back of this catalogue or on our Web site. In the event that identical bids are submitted, the earliest will take precedence. INTERNET ABSENTEE BIDS Buyers may also conveniently leave bids on our Web site through our Internet catalogues. These bids are executed at the auction in the same fashion as an Absentee Bid. LIVE ONLINE BIDDING BidLive! with a click of your mouse. Bidders from around the world now can experience the excitement of bidding live at Doyle on their computers. MAC USERS: Please use Firefox browser (download). BidLive!, powered by Invaluable, does not support iPhone or iPad at this time. Doyle New York does not guarantee that live Internet bidding will be uninterrupted or without error, or that Internet bids will be received.

TELEPHONE BIDDING Clients unable to attend the sale may still participate live by bidding on the telephone with a trained staff member on the auction floor. The Telephone Bid Forms are available on our Web site, in our printed catalogue, and through our Client Services Department. Please contact the Bid Department prior to the sale to make arrangements or to answer any questions you may have. Telephone bids are accepted only at Doyle New York’s discretion and at the caller’s risk. Calls may also be recorded at Doyle New York’s discretion. By bidding on the telephone, prospective buyers consent thereto. Telephone bids cannot be accepted for lot estimated below $1,000. Arrangements must be confirmed with the Bid Department at least 24 hours prior to the auction at 212-427-4141 ext. 242. Arrangements to bid in languages other than English must be made well in advance of the sale date. Doyle New York offers all absentee and telephone bidding services as a convenience to our clients but will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids.

VI


BUYING AT DOYLE CONTINUED SUCCESSFUL BIDS Successful absentee bidders will be notified after the sale. Absentee bidders will receive a list of sale results if they enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope with their Absentee Bid Form. Printed lists of auction prices are available immediately after the sale on our Web site and at our galleries. While invoices are sent out by mail after the auction, we do not accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bids. Buyers are requested to contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible after the sale to obtain details of the outcome of their bids to avoid incurring unnecessary storage charges.

AFTER THE AUCTION If your bid is successful, you can go directly to Purchaser Accounting to make payment arrangements. Otherwise, your invoice will be mailed to you. The final price is determined by adding the buyer’s premium to the hammer price on a per-lot basis. Sales tax, where applicable, will be charged on the entire amount. Payment is due in full immediately after the sale. However, under certain circumstances, and generally with the seller’s agreement, Doyle New York may offer buyers it deems creditworthy the option of an extended payment plan. Credit terms should be arranged prior to the sale. Please contact the Credit Department for information on credit arrangements for a particular lot. METHODS OF PAYMENT Accepted forms of payment include bank wire transfers, cash (in US currency up to $5,000), traveler’s check (in US currency up to $5,000), money orders (in US currency up to $5,000), or personal check made payable in US dollars drawn on a US bank, unless other arrangements are made with Purchaser Accounts. It is Doyle New York’s policy to request any new clients or purchasers preferring to make a cash payment to provide: verification of identity (by providing some form of government issued identification containing a photograph, such as a passport, identity card, or driver’s license), confirmation of permanent address and identification of the source of the funds. Invoices greater than $5,000 require payment by certified check, bank check or wire transfer. Credit cards are not accepted for payment of auction purchases.

VII

To pay for a purchase by check, please see our cashier and fill out a Check Acceptance Account form. Until approved, you will not be permitted to remove purchases before the check has cleared. To avoid delivery delays, prospective buyers are encouraged to supply bank or other suitable references before the auction. Check acceptance privileges are reviewed from time to time by Doyle New York and may be granted or withdrawn at our sole discretion. Checks should be made payable to Doyle New York. Note that checks drawn on foreign banks may be accepted with the approval of the Credit Department, may not be accepted for values under $500, and that there is a $100 minimum collection charge on checks drawn on foreign banks located outside the U.S. Certified checks, banker’s drafts and cashier’s checks are accepted at Doyle New York’s discretion provided they are issued by a reputable financial institution governed by anti-money laundering laws. Instruments not meeting these requirements will be treatedas “cash equivalents” and subject to theconstraints noted above. Please direct inquiries regarding wire transfer or ACH credit to Steven L. Kuzio, 212.427.4141 ext. 202, steven.kuzio@doyle.com BUYER’S PREMIUM The invoice will include the successful hammer price of the item and the buyer’s premium. Doyle New York charges a premium to the buyer on the final bid price of each lot sold at the following rates: 25% on the first $300,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion of the hammer price from $300,001 through $3,000,000, and 12.5% on that portion of the hammer price exceeding $3,000,000. Applicable sales tax will also be added to the final total. New York Sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property picked up or delivered in New York State, regardless of the state or country in which the purchaser resides or does business. Please refer to “Information on Sales and Use Tax Related to Purchases at Auction” in the back of the catalogue. All sales are final and subject to the Conditions of Sale. PICK-UPS Once your payment has been cleared, property may be released. Unless otherwise agreed by Doyle New York, auction purchases should be paid for and picked up at Doyle New York within 48 hours of the auction. Items left beyond the 48 hours may be subject to a storage fee (see below). Please note that the hours for removal of property are Monday through Friday from 8:15am until 4:45pm, except on auction days during which only purchases made that day may be picked up. As a courtesy to purchasers who come to Doyle New York to pick up property, Doyle New York will assist in the packing of lots, although Doyle New York may, in the case of fragile articles, choose not to pack or otherwise handle a purchase. Doyle New York will not be responsible or liable for damage to glass covering paintings, drawings or other works, or damage to frames, regardless of cause.

STORAGE FEES Pursuant to section 8 of our Conditions of Sale, we request that successful buyers collect their property within two business days following the sale. Should the property (except jewelry, coins, stamps or as announced by the auctioneer) remain on our premises for more than 31 days following a sale it will be transferred to an independent warehouse on the buyer’s behalf at the purchaser’s risk and subject to storage charges at the purchaser’s expense. As transferred property will no longer be in Doyle New York’s custody or care, Doyle New York will not be able to assist you with pick-up or shipping arrangements. To avoid storage charges, please arrange for the removal of your purchases as soon as possible. Please Note: Transfer to a Storage facility of uncollected purchases past the 31-day grace period will constitute delivery of the property to the buyer in New York State. As a result, buyer will be liable to pay New York State Sales Tax if not tax-exempt. The charges are payable to an outside Storage Company and therefore cannot be waived by Doyle New York. We encourage all buyers to collect purchased property within two business days following the sale. In order to collect property from Yorkville Van and Storage, buyers must present a copy of a paid invoice bearing a Yorkville warehouse release stamp. This warehouse release stamp can only be obtained from the cashier at Doyle New York’s main reception desk located at 175 East 87th St in Manhattan. SHIPPING Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Upon request, our Client Services Department will provide a list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Kindly disregard the sales tax if an I.C.C. licensed shipper will ship your purchases anywhere outside the state of New York or the District of Columbia. ENDANGERED SPECIES Certain property sold at auction, for example, items made of or incorporating plant or animal materials such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, tortoise shell, mother-of-pearl, etc., irrespective of age or value, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to another country. Doyle New York suggests that buyers check on their government wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. Although licenses can be obtained to export some types of endangered species, other types may not be exported at all, and other types may not be resold in the United States.


SELLING AT DOYLE At Doyle New York, we commit our expertise, experience, market knowledge and global outreach to every sale. The numerous auction records set in our salesrooms are testimony to the advantages of selling property at Doyle. To make the auction process as easy and convenient as possible, our team of dedicated professionals will guide you through the entire appraisal and auction procedure. As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive auction services to collectors, institutions and estates, Doyle New York offers several options to those seeking to sell their property: consignment of the objects to auction at Doyle, outright sale of the objects to Doyle, a combination of both, or referrals to other organizations.

OBTAINING AN APPRAISAL The first step in selling property at auction is to obtain a free informal appraisal of the item. The appraisal includes an estimated value, which is the specialist’s best judgement as to what the object will sell for at auction. The figure is based upon the specialist’s expertise and knowledge of what similar items are fetching in the current auction market. There are various ways to obtain appraisals. Information and appointments to view property in your home or in the gallery can be arranged through our Scheduling Department, an appropriate Specialist Department, or a Doyle New York Regional Representative. Once your property has been evaluated, Doyle New York representatives can then help you determine how to proceed with the auction process. They will provide information regarding sellers’ commission rates and other charges, auction timetable, shipping and any other further services you may require. SUBMITTING PHOTOGRAPHS We welcome photographs of property to evaluate for possible auction if the property is not portable, or if you are not able to visit our galleries. If you have a large collection, a representative selection of photographs is acceptable. Please bring in the photographs or email photos of your objects to the Scheduling Department. You may also mail photographs to the Scheduling Department, or call them at 212-427-4141, ext. 260, to discuss your property and perhaps arrange an appointment with a specialist. Please be sure to include the dimensions, artist’s signature or maker’s mark, medium, physical condition, and any other relevant information. Our specialists will provide a free preliminary auction estimate subject to a final estimate upon first hand inspection.

REGIONAL APPRAISAL DAYS Doyle New York’s Regional Representatives host free appraisal days on a regular basis throughout Connecticut, the metropolitan Washington, DC area, as well as in other areas throughout the United States. These popular events provide ease and convenience for collectors outside of New York who wish to sell their property at Doyle. At these events, we accept property for upcoming auctions in our New York salesrooms through both consignment and outright purchase.

SELLING YOUR PROPERTY CONSIGNING TO AUCTION In consigning property to auction, the seller retains ownership until the successful sale of the item at auction. When property is consigned to Doyle for auction, we devote the expertise of our specialists and professional staff to achieving outstanding prices at auction. THE CONSIGNMENT CONTRACT When you consign property to Doyle New York you will receive two copies of our Consignment Agreement, the legal document delineating the terms of sale. One copy should be initialed, signed and returned; the other kept for your records. Once the property is received in our gallery, you will be sent a Contract Schedule listing the property, the planned sale dates, the estimated price ranges, and the reserves will be listed, along with the agreed upon seller’s commission and other related fees. RESERVE PRICE Before an item is offered at auction, the consignor and Doyle New York may agree on a reserve price, a confidential minimum selling price. Unless a specific reserve is arranged, a discretionary reserve is fixed at fifty percent of the low estimate. If the consignor designates a reserve on a lot, and it remains unsold, there will be a buy-in fee charged on the reserve price. OUTRIGHT SALE TO DOYLE Outright purchase of property by Doyle allows the seller the advantage and convenience of immediate payment. Many sellers prefer this method of sale rather than consigning their property to auction and awaiting payment after the successful sale of the items. For further information please contact our Scheduling Department.

AFTER THE AUCTION RESULTS OF SALE You may track realized prices of your consigned property in real time and view all sales results online at Doyle.com. A preliminary settlement statement itemizing the hammer prices, commissions and fees is mailed to the consignor after the auction. You may also call us at 212-427-2730 for prices realized. PAYMENT TO CONSIGNORS Payment to consignors is mailed five weeks after the date of the sale, together with a final settlement statement. The amount of payment is the hammer price of each lot successfully sold, less the commission and any other fees.

ESTATE AND APPRAISAL SERVICES For forty years, Doyle New York’s Appraisal and Auction Services Department has worked with museums, corporate collections, banks and law firms, trust and estate professionals, heirs, and private clients across the nation providing our comprehensive appraisal and auction services. Our thorough, well-researched fair market appraisals have earned Doyle a solid reputation for professionalism, integrity and service throughout the United States. Doyle New York offers a full range of expert appraisal services, specializing in providing timely formal appraisals for estate tax and probate purposes. Our expert team of specialists and our professional staff bring years of experience to each appraisal. Full color digital photographs may be included in the appraisal in order to make each object easily identifiable. Depending on the location, we are happy to provide, at no charge, a preliminary walk-through examination to determine approximate costs and special needs. Appraisal fees are based on the scope of the property with travel expenses additional. Doyle New York will prepare a customized proposal tailored to the specific property under consideration for auction, including a commission and fee structure developed to maximize returns to consignors. We may also make an outright purchase offer on individual items or entire estates. As part of our focus on comprehensive estate liquidation, we offer our unique “Broomclean Service” – our own trucks and crew will transport the fine property to Doyle, remove remaining items, and leave the premises “broomclean.”
