note: According to Arthur Grimwade, the life and career of Charles Kandler remains somewhat of "baffling mystery." Three names (Charles Kandler, Charles Frederick Kandler, and Frederick Kandler) were registered continuously at the same address in London from 1735-73. Some suggest a father and son who were inconsistent in their use of first names, while others propose a possible cousin or nephew.

Together with a pair of Belgian silver salts with cobalt glass liners. (8). Diam: 7 3/4 in. (waiter). Weighable silver: 37 oz. $1,000-1,500

Regardless, scholars have been able to determine that Charles Kandler was the older brother of the famous porcelain modeller, Johann Joachim Kandler of the Saxon Royal factory at Meissen (see publications by Rainer Ruckert, Peter Cameron and Philippa Glanville). Charles Kandler's use of decoration in high relief and three-dimensional form has been connected to the plasticity and stylistic continuity that is often found in the famed modeller's work. $1,500-2,500

Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 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.

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.
