Fine Continental Furniture & Decorative Arts sale 1429: lots 255-666 Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Property from the Collection of Woody and Nancy Bolton, Charlottesville, Va, formerly the property of Ellen G. and Manuel E. Rionda, of Glen Goin, Alpine, NJ LOTS 255-281 The great aunt of the current vendor, Woody Bolton, was Ellen G. Rionda, wife of Manuel Enrique Rionda, the nephew of the sugar baron Manuel Rionda. While Manuel Rionda had the largest Alpine estate on the Palisades, “Rio Vista”, Manuel Enrique had his own Palisades estate, known as “Glen Goin”, named after Ellen’s Scottish maiden name, Goin. Built around 1910, Glen Goin was furnished in the style typical of the gilded age, and was resplendent with early Italian and Continental furniture and furnishings, many of which were eventually bequeathed by the couple to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Many of the pieces were inherited by Ellen Goin from her family, which descended from the Pike family of Cincinnati, Ohio. Her grandfather was the entrepreneur Samuel N. Pike, notable for building the Pike Opera House in New York in 1868. Her mother was Mrs James D. Goin, and her aunt was painter Alice Pike Barney.

Interior of Glen Goin, Alpine, NJ, showing lots 257, 264, and 281 in situ

Interior photographs of Glen Goin and of the Rionda’s New York apartment show many of the lots offered in this sale in situ. One can only marvel at the richness and opulence of the original collection and Freeman’s is delighted to be offering pieces from it in this auction.

Property from the Estate of Ava Gardner LOTS 470-489

The English and Continental Decorative Arts Department of Freeman’s is pleased to present the following twenty lots from the estate of famed Hollywood starlet Ava Gardner (1922-1990). Often regarded as one of Hollywood’s most remarkable beauties, Ms. Gardner became as well known for her critically-acclaimed roles in films such as Show Boat (1951), The Barefoot Contessa (1954) and The Night of the Iguana (1964) as for her association with famous leading men and celebrities of the era including Mickey Rooney, Howard Hughes, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra. Throughout the last decade of Hollywood’s golden age, Ava Gardner epitomized the leading lady. She personified glamour both on the screen and off, occupying fashionable and luxurious residences in Hollywood, Paris and London decorated by the most renowned interior decorators of the era, including Maison Jansen. These lots, acquired in the family by descent, reveal a glimpse of the intimate surroundings Ms. Gardner enjoyed in her well-appointed residences and demonstrate the variety of tasteful decorative objects, from 19th century French silver to contemporary Gucci bronzes, which she adored.

Property from the Estate of Janet Brown LOTS 490-548

For socialites and successful, busy women, the advice and assistance of the late Janet Brown on matters of fashion and style was invaluable. From her small, white-walled boutique in the unlikely town of Port Washington on Long Island, New York, she styled women from all ports of call including London, Paris, South America, New York, Greenwich and Long Island, to name a few, with a unique talent and vision that combined classic design, elegance, premier quality, and avant-garde taste. Ms. Brown understood the provenance of her customers as well as their world and inspired them to make something of themselves and always to be “ahead of the game.”

As a New York tastemaker, her clients relied on her for an introduction to the most current and influential European couture designers like Jil Sander, Miuccia Prada, and Loro Piana before they were ever accessible in the United States, let alone Manhattan’s most prestigious, high-profile stores.

Ms. Brown believed in her sense of style and abided by her basic rule of only buying premium quality merchandise that exuded understated elegance. Following her death at 59 in March 2007, her eponymous shop closed that December after almost a quarter-century of profoundly influencing the taste and fashion sensibilities of her devotees.

Above all, she was selling the taste of Janet Brown, and that taste had its origins in her native Philadelphia. While still a student at Temple University, she had the good fortune to work with Nan Duskin at her elegant store on the 1700 block of Walnut Street. Her employment there served her well when she moved to New York and opened her shop in 1983, just in time to make her unique retail operation a triumph, as independent designer boutiques were disappearing because popular, couture designers were establishing their own shops, and department stores were in a flurry of expansion.

Brown’s vision to transpose the ordinary into the extraordinary made her a hugely successful business woman and she became the most elite in the retail women’s fashion industry. In her private life, these attributes were evident as

well and are reflected in her furniture and silver featured in the Fine English and Continental Furniture and Decorative Arts sale. Janet Brown’s stylish taste is reflected in a fine Maison Jansen ‘Royal’ dining table (lot 500), a walnut cabinet designed by Pierre Chareau (lot 490) , and small low table attributed to the important ceramicist Georges Jouve (lot 495).

Freeman’s will be offering many more items from Janet Brown’s collection over the course of our spring and fall 2012 auction seasons. The May 12th Modern & Contemporary Art auction will include an outstanding suite of Brice Marden prints, a rare woodcut by Donald Judd along with twenty other outstanding examples by American and European artists of the 20th century. Additional works will be offered in the July 13th Estate sale, the September Fine Asian arts sale and the October Photographs and Photobooks sale.
