A
s I sit outside on my deck writing this letter, breathing in the warm salt-tinged Cape Cod air, it strikes me how many things I took for granted pre-COVID. Whether it was enjoying a fine meal at a restaurant, attending a concert, or even just going shopping, it never seemed like a privilege, or even something to give much thought. Now, after a year-plus of masks, social distancing and staying home, stepping out into public to attend a show, see friends, or perhaps even attend an auction, is a celebratory occasion. There are also many moments of gratitude for our health, the roof over our heads, and the community that surrounds us. Perhaps this new-found awareness of our interconnected global community is part of the reason collectors have participated in auctions in record numbers over the last year. While the preCOVID market was strong and stable, the pandemic brought out thousands of new buyers and seemed to reinvigorate existing ones. Many believe the strong antiques and art market is because people were sitting idly at home, staring at blank walls, and decided to spend their confinement upgrading their decor. While there is some truth to that, I also believe people aren’t taking much for granted anymore, and we have a deeper appreciation for history and art, and for the things that bring us beauty and joy. In the following pages you’ll see an incredible collection of Provincetown art, fine examples of traditional 18th and 19th Century American furniture and paintings, beautiful carpets, choice examples of 20th Century design, and much, much more. Truly, something for everyone, whether you are a new collector who emerged from the COVID era, or a seasoned veteran, or a truly refined expert in search of that one elusive treasure. I am always amazed at what our staff is able to uncover as they comb through the estates of New England, and they have really outdone themselves with this year’s offerings. As always, I am grateful I have the best staff in the business as well as the greatest and most loyal clients I could imagine. I will never take either for granted, and I can’t wait for everyone to convene under our tent for a true summer auction on Cape Cod. See you then.

This is the companion painting to one illustrated in Little By Little: Six Decades of Collecting American Decorative Arts by Nina Fletcher Little (E.P. Dutton, Inc., 1984). Pieces in the Little collection were purchased from Matthew Cushing in 1957 when Fletcher Little visited the Cushing homestead. Cushing kept this painting because it had the two family cats, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, in the picture. “In 1878, the child Alice Cushing, accompanied by her mother and her Aunt Ella Emory, went to spend the summer in the Peter Cushing house in Hingham, Massachusetts. Aunt Ella was an amateur artist and occupied herself by painting the interiors of four of the rooms as they appeared during her visit. Built about 1678, the house was refurbished during the mid-eighteenth century. At the time the pictures were painted, the majority of the furnishings dated back to the eighteenth century, although a few Victorian pieces had begun to creep in. All these features were duly observed and carefully recorded by Ella Emory, and her canvases are not only charming examples of their period but also visual documents recording the changes in life-style that took place in the life of one family over a span of two hundred years.”

Literature: Dorothy Miller’s The Life and Work of David G. Blythe (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburg Press, 1980), p. 71 notes “There are two paintings probably painted during Blythe’s Pittsburg period which do not use Pittsburgh persons or settings. They are not like his other Pittsburgh paintings in color and brushwork; if not the theme. One is of Don Quixote, a subject unique for Blythe. Don Quixote wears green knickers and red hose and reclines easily in a chair, illustrating with sweeping gestures what he is saying to Sancho. … This is the only painting in which Blythe has drawn his subject from literature”. The painting is illustrated in The World of David Gilmour Blythe by Bruce W. Chambers, p. 144, which notes the painting is “missing”.

It was located on the west side of Broadway between Vesey and Barclay Streets, across from City Hall Park and diagonally across from the offices of the New York

It had gaslights – the gas was produced in the hotel’s own plant – and bathing and toilet facilities on each floor, with the water pumped up by steam engines. Its tree-shaded central courtyard was covered over in 1852 by an elliptical vaulted cast iron and glass “rotunda” designed by James Bogardus. Under the direction of its proprietor, “Col.” Charles A. Stetson (1837–1877), it was the city’s most stylish luncheon place for gentlemen. It featured a curving bar, and side dining rooms entered from Vesey Street or Barclay Street. Guests could order from thirty meat and fish dishes offered daily. Although by the 1850s some restaurants allowed men and women to dine together, and others had a special ladies’ dining room with separate entrances to reserved drawing rooms, the Astor House would not admit unaccompanied women to enter, a policy which prevented prostitutes from nearby brothels from plying their trade in the hotel.

Academy and traveled to Europe before establishing himself as a lithographer and illustrator in his hometown. In 1892 he moved to New York City, where he would travel to Coney Island or Rockaway to capture the beach that so enchanted him. He also painted at the Grand Canyon, in California, at seaside art colonies in Massachusetts and Maine, and he also traveled extensively in Europe later in his life. He died in his studio, purportedly at his easel, of a sudden heart attack. Potthast’s paintings exhibit sound draftsmanship, rich, vivid colors, and adept brushwork.

Arthur Vidal Diehl Massachusetts/New York/England, 1870-1929 Lots 2051-2057
2051
Although Arthur Vidal Diehl was born in England, he is probably best known for capturing the sand dunes and harbors of Cape Cod. He was born into an artistic family and went off on his own around age 19 to roam Europe. In 1891 he was in the United States, where he worked as a performance artist and decorated piecework to earn money. In 1912 he spent his first summer on Cape Cod and established a studio. A prolific, and fast, painter, it is said he produced up to 25 paintings a day.
2051. Boats at dock, Provincetown, Massachusetts. Signed lower right “A.V. Diehl”. Illegibly inscribed verso. Also noted verso “I watched artist paint this in Provincetown in 1927”. Oil on board, 6” x 6”. Framed 6.75” x 6.75”. 600/800
He would compose scenes from memory and entertain onlookers as he finished a small painting right before their eyes, often managing to sell it to them in the process. It was a clever way to cater to the tourists that flocked to the Cape each summer. He established a similar business model in Saint Augustine, Florida, where he spent some winters. Diehl died in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1929.

Provenance: Private Chatham, Massachusetts Collection.
Although she was born and raised in Hyde Park, New York, Anne Packard spent her childhood summers in Provincetown, a seaside village at the tip of Cape Cod. Her grandfather, noted Romantic Impressionist Max Bohm, was one of the founders of the art colony there that has thrived for more than a century. Packard moved to Provincetown full-time in 1977. Packard is a self-described self-taught artist. Her early works were painted on wood panels and weathered shingles. Probably best known for her dream-like Provincetown and Outer Cape landscapes, Packard has also painted in Ireland, Italy, Greece and Mexico. Daughter Leslie Packard began painting as an adult, when Anne presented her with a birthday gift set of paints. Under the study of her sister Cynthia Packard, she has developed her own distinct style. Cynthia Packard has been artistic since childhood, and she graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1981 with an MFA in sculpture. She also lives in Provincetown, and her eldest son, Zachary, represents the fourth generation in the family of painters.

Jose Formoso Reyes (1902-1980) is credited with having invented the purse form of the Nantucket basket, often referred to as “friendship baskets”. He was born in the Philippines and attended high school and college in the United States, earning an M.Ed from Harvard. He returned to the Philippines with his wife in 1935 and joined the faculty of the military academy. In 1941, he joined the U.S. Army and was discharged a captain after World War II. He and his family moved back to the U.S. and settled on Nantucket, where his American wife’s family had property.

Because he was unable to find a teaching position, he worked as a house painter and repaired cane and rush seat chairs, applying weaving training he had learned in the Philippines. He eventually turned this skill toward Nantucket basket making after he befriended noted basketmaker Mitchell Ray. In 1948, Reyes developed the Nantucket basket purse.

a “bonanza steamer,” carrying gold speculators to the gold fields. She proceeded to make a fortune for her owners, clearing over $1 million in her first year. The steamer was sent to Victoria, British Columbia in August 1858, and ran for a short time on the New Westminster route. In October 1858 she was withdrawn, and then in the following year she replaced the steamer Constitution on Puget Sound. Early in the 1860s she was bought by the Oregon Steam Navigation Company and taken to the Columbia River, where she operated on the Cascade Route under the command of Captain John Wolf. She ran on the Columbia until 1869, carrying from 250 to 300 passengers, 100 head of stock and a substantial amount of freight on a single trip. The Wilson G. Hunt was rebuilt in 1865, and in 1869 she returned to Puget Sound. She continued to be used on various runs until 1890, when she was broken up and sold for iron scrap to Cohn & Company of San Francisco. Her hull was burned shortly thereafter.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION: Robert C. Eldred Co., Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Eldred’s) has exercised reasonable care to catalog and describe correctly the property to be sold, but neither Eldred’s nor its consignors warrant the correctness of description, attribution, authenticity, or condition of said property. No statements shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability with respect thereto, but are to be construed as opinions only. Bidders are encouraged to personally examine all property to be sold prior to the beginning of the auction. 2. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered. 3. Eldred’s reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale. 4. DETERMINATION OF HIGHEST BIDDER: The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer may determine who is the successful bidder or the auctioneer may re-offer the article in dispute and his decision shall be final. 5. REJECTION OF BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any nominal raise or any bid or raise which, in his opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the article being offered. At his discretion, he may also reject any nominal raise or any bid that he may determine as having a detrimental effect on the item in question or the sale as a whole. Eldred’s may refuse to issue bidding privileges to any person not in good credit standing with Eldred’s, or to any person who is deemed by Eldred’s in its sole discretion, to be disruptive of or harmful to established auction practices, either before or after the acceptance of bids or the fall of the hammer. 6. TITLE: Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser’s sole risk and responsibility. 7. PAYMENT: On title passing to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and subject to all the conditions set forth herein, such bidder will thereupon pay the full purchase price. Payment in full is due at the time of sale. Any bills not paid in full within 25 days of the date of the sale will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month. In addition, the purchaser may be subject to one or more of the following actions: a) Any and all legal remedies available to Eldred’s and its consignors by law including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price; b) Immediate cancellation of the sale, with Eldred’s retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser; c) Resale of the property at public auction, wherein the original purchaser shall be liable for any deficiency, costs, and Eldred’s commission on both sales. At Eldred’s option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Eldred’s has collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, their authenticity has been confirmed. A buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. 8. ORDER BIDS: Subject to these Conditions of Sale and to such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, but at no charge to the customer, Eldred’s will undertake to execute all order bids submitted to it by a customer who has established credit with said company.

Telephone bids must be confirmed in writing or by cable. All bids are kept in strict confidence. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received by Eldred’s will take precedence. Eldred’s shall not be held responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. A deposit of 10% of the total amount bid is required. TELEPHONE BIDS: While the sale is in progress, bidding by telephone may be allowed by the auctioneer at his discretion. A deposit of 10% of the anticipated top bid is required. Eldred’s shall not be held responsible for any failure to properly execute
such a bid whether it be due to equipment failure, loss of connection, or failure to hear or understand the bidder’s directions. Any advice or opinions provided by Eldred’s or its employees are given strictly as a courtesy and are not a warrant of condition, attribution, authenticity, or description of said property. All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder. ONLINE BIDS: Eldred’s shall not be held responsible for any failure to properly execute bids placed online. All online bidding is solely at the risk of the bidder. 9. CONDITION: If for any cause whatsoever any article sold cannot be delivered, or cannot be delivered in as good condition as the same may have been at the time of sale, due to a failure or damage on the company’s part, the sale will be cancelled, and any amount that may have been paid on account of the sale will be returned to the purchaser. EXCEPTION: Eldred’s will not be held responsible for damage to picture frames or lampshades. 10. SALES TAX: All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts sales tax (currently 6.25%) unless the purchaser: A) possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption or resale number and registers that number with the company, B) is an out-of-state vendor who meets all the requirements of Massachusetts Department of Revenue GLC 64H 1(5) and Directive 89-10 and registers with the company prior to each purchase, or C) has purchases shipped out of state (with the exception of Connecticut and New York) directly from Eldred’s by a bona fide shipping agent. Connecticut residents picking items up in our Mystic branch or having purchases shipped to their Connecticut address are responsible for CT state sales tax (currently 6.35%). New York residents having purchases shipped to their New York address are responsible for NY state sales tax (currently 4.0%). Due to the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, residents of other states may be required to pay their state sales tax on purchases as we meet each state’s nexus requirements. Dealers, museums, etc. can apply for a Massachusetts number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation, 100 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA 02204. 11. RESERVES: Unless advertised as an “Unreserved Auction”, all sales may have items subject to reserve (an agreed upon price between the auctioneer and the consignor, below which the article will not be sold). 12. COLLECTION OF PURCHASES: Delivery or shipping arrangements must be made within seven (7) days from the close of the auction for all purchases. All items must be removed from Eldred’s facilities within fourteen (14) days of the end of the auction. All items remaining after fourteen days may be subject to a $5/per item/perday storage fee.
