Fine Continental Furniture & Decorative Arts sale 1419: lots 220-509 Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Treasure from a sunken Spanish Galleon Following the conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century, Spain sent two armadas annually to the New World to charge them with riches. These were the 'New World' and the 'Mainland' fleets, and in the Indies they collected gold and silver bullion and other rare commodities from the Far East and the Americas. After collecting their cargo, the two fleets met at Havana and then readied for the voyage home. They carried with them vast sums of wealth which was to provide fuel for Spain's continuing wars in northern Europe and fill the empty Spanish coffers depleted by the ongoing strain of domestic debt.

The Nuestra Senora de Atocha was a galleon of the 'New World' fleet that sailed from Spain in March, 1622. Prior to its return journey, the main cargo of the sunken treasure galleon was 500 pounds of gold, thirty-five tons of silver bullion, 400 bales of indigo, tobacco, and 30,000 pounds of copper. Also amongst her bounty were numerous small jewels, pieces of gold jewelry, and secular Spanish silver plate owned by her forty-eight passengers and 220 crewmen.

While also subject to attacks from pirates and the Dutch and English fleets, the foremost problem that beset the Spanish on their annual round-trips were the fierce Atlantic tropical storms. It was a hurricane that wrecked the Atocha and a companion ship, the Santa Margarita, off the coast of Florida on September 4th 1622. Immediate and desperate attempts by the Spanish to rescue the treasure were unsuccessful. Over the next three centuries, the location and the history of the Atocha was largely forgotten, until the search was taken up by treasure-hunter Mel Fisher in 1963. After two decades, and the loss of his son and daughter- in-law to drowning during the search, he found it on July 20th, 1985.

In 1988, Christie's held a two-day sale that included hundreds of silver bars, gold bars and artifacts from the Atocha and Santa Margarita wrecks. The vendor of the following five lots purchased them from this sale. Freeman's is happy to be offering them on their behalf.

220 11-1982/1 A silver bar recovered from the wreck of the nuestra senora de atocha in 1985 Fineness 2380/2400. Class 1.0 B. Rodriguez to self.

39 lb., 3.68 oz. (572.1 oz Troy) provenance: Christie’s New York June 14th and 15th, 1988 note: The system of marking on the silver and gold bars is complex, and was designed to ensure that the “Quinto Real” or Royal Fifth, was paid to the Spanish Crown. In return for this tax payment, the Crown allowed free enterprise to exploit the enormous gold and silver deposits of the New World. An additional mark for the 1 1/2 % tax for the melter, assayer and chief marker was instituted in 1579.

All of the bars exhibit the stamp of the arms of Philip IV, other marks present can indicate the fineness, date of issue, assaymaster or foundry. $15,000-20,000

10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest.

17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion.

12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.
