H: 30, Diameter of bowl: 15 in. 444 oz. (approx). provenance: Arms of General Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole (1772-1842), 2nd Earl Enniskillen. Purchased in London by Frank Maxwell Andrews, Lieutenant General, United States Army. By family descent. $40,000-60,000
Lieutenant General Frank Maxwell Andrews Frank Maxwell Andrews (Feb. 3, 1884-May 3, 1943), military leader and commander, was one of the founders of the United States Air Force. He replaced Dwight D. Eisenhower as head of the United States forces in the European Theater of Operations in the early stages of World War II. As an outspoken and early proponent of airpower, Frank Maxwell Andrews’s legacy is far-reaching. The Joint Base Andrews in Maryland (the home base for the presidential aircraft, Air Force One), Andrews Barracks in Germany, General Andrews Airport in Santo Domingo, and Andrews Avenue in the Philippines, are all eponymously named for him. Frank Maxwell Andrew’s contribution to the United States military would certainly have been even greater had he not been tragically killed in an aircraft accident in Iceland in 1943. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Andrews comes from a notable Tennessee family, as the greatgreat-nephew of two Tennessee
governors, John C. Brown and Neill S. Brown. His family has long been associated with the history of Nashville. His father James David Andrews, of English descent, was a well known newspaper publisher and real estate dealer in Nashville. His family amassed a fine silver collection, from which this piece comes. The collection also includes Tiffany pieces owned by John C. Brown that have descended in the family until they will be offered by Freeman’s on May 2nd.
Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell Phillip Rundell (1746-1827) assembled one of Britain’s most important and successful silver manufacturing businesses and employed some of the most distinguished craftsmen of his day. The success of the business was due in large part to his partnership with John Bridge (1755-1834), whose close relationship with King George IV allowed him to be a facilitator in the king’s search for grandeur. It was Bridge who was responsible for guiding the King in the assemblage of his magnificent collection of gold and silver objects.

As the first professor of sculpture at the Royal Academy, John Flaxman identified himself as a sculptor, though he was highly regarded for his design drawings, and in particular those of figural groups. He was employed by Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell as the firm’s designer and modeler for the most important pieces, most notably ‘The Shield of Achilles’ (Royal Collection) created for George IV’s Coronation Banquet. The three Classical figures on the present John Bridge centerpiece represent Bacchus and two maenads, and can be compared to figures designed by Flaxman. A figure of Orpheus, very similar to the Bacchus figure here, can be seen on
a later pair of silver-gilt candelabra, modeled by Edward Hodges Bailey and marked for Philip Rundell, 1820 (Sold at Phillip's New York, April 16, 1982, Lot 240). The exquisite foliage and shell feet on the present centerpiece can be traced back to tureens produced by Roëttiers Goldsmiths. Very similar feet appear on The Salisbury Candelabrum, presented by Phillip Rundell to Lord Salisbury in 1821. Another pair of identical feet can be seen on a soup tureen from the dinner service created for Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk (Hartop, Christopher. Royal Goldsmiths, the Art of Rundell & Bridge 1797-1843, p. 67). The presence of the tropical tree, around which the three figures dance, is unusual. A close comparison can be found on the ‘Judgment of Paris’ centerpiece, made by Paul Storr for the Baron Henrique Teixeira de Sampaio of Lisbon, Portugal. This large centerpiece, housed at the Marble House in Newport, RI, is centered by a palm tree, similar to that of the tree-form standard anchoring this John Bridge centerpiece.

The firm became regular suppliers to the Royal Family, and as the Royal Goldsmiths, Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell became synonymous with the Imperial style in silver reflected in the enhanced pride of Britain at the time. In 1807, the talented silversmith, Paul Storr, joined the firm, followed by the leading sculptors, William Theed and John Flaxman. The impressive John Bridge centerpiece at hand represents the extraordinary collaboration of artist, modeler, and silversmith.

In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and
will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to due to Freeman’s. 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. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 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. 13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the
total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $50,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $50,001 through $1,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 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. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
