Lots 1-80: Property from the Collection of Dr. Morris Shelanski: A Philadelphia Doctor, Entrepreneur and Prolific Collector of Fine and Decorative Art. Dr. Morris Shelanski, educated at Harvard, began collecting fine art and antiques in the 1950s following the completion of his service as a U.S. Navy physician. Along with his wife Rita and four sons and a daughter, Dr. Shelanski continued throughout the subsequent decades to acquire paintings, furniture, decorative arts and other fine and rare items from auction houses and galleries locally and further afield. The Shelanski Collection, up to now housed in the family’s Main Line home, is emblematic of a true lifelong collector’s work: it is sizable, eclectic and reveals changing interests and refinement of the collector’s eye.

Regarding his personal collection, Dr. Shelanski says: “Living with these beautiful objects has not only brought our family tremendous pleasure over many years, but also they serve as reminders of the wonder of human creativity and artistic expression from all corners of the world throughout the ages.”

Part II of the Shelanski Collection, comprising fine European works of decorative art and Chinese export wares, will be offered in Freeman’s October 7 2014 English & Continental Furniture and Decorative Arts auction.

(later Fidelity Bank), a director at First National Bank of Philadelphia, a board member of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Co. and partner in various other enterprises in the city of Philadelphia. His father’s sizable real estate holdings throughout the city and beyond were managed, developed and periodically sold by Henry C. Gibson as Philadelphia expanded.

Henry C. Gibson’s greatest and most enduring legacy in the city was his philanthropy and patronage of the arts.

His collection, housed in his Victorian townhouse redesigned by Frank Furness and George Hewitt, encompassed one of the greatest art collections ever assembled in America. It included Imperial Chinese porcelain and cloisonné enamel, superb European paintings and American sculpture, as well significant holdings of European furniture and works of art.

Henry C. Gibson’s philanthropy supported many Pennsylvania cultural and public institutions that remain significant today. He was a long-standing Director and later Vice President of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and he bequeathed his collection of paintings and sculpture to the Academy upon his passing in December 1891. He was a founding member of the Park Art Association, which, when it was founded in 1872, was America’s first non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and betterment of public art and urban planning. He was a generous donor to the Academy of Natural Sciences, giving mineral specimens, marble columns, as well as providing funds for Dr. Joseph Leidy's work involving the assembly and display of the bones of Hadrosaurus foulkii discovered in 1858 in New Jersey, the first nearly-complete fossilized skeleton of a dinosaur ever recovered. Along with donations secured for various academic departments at the University of Pennsylvania, Gibson is also remembered for his dedication to public health. He contributed to the University's Hospital that still has a wing that bears his name, as well as to Provost William Pepper's "Institute for Hygiene", the first laboratory of its kind in the country. He was both a donor and trustee of Jefferson Hospital, as well.

Described by friends and relatives as a man of "uncommon tenderness & strength" and with abundant "love of home and family", Gibson taught his granddaughter, Mary K. Gibson Henry, how to pollinate orchids as a young child. He further nurtured her botanical interests by presenting to her a copy of William Robinson’s 1870 book, The Wild Garden. Mary K. Gibson Henry’s lifelong project, the unique wilderness garden inspired by her grandfather’s gift, became the Henry Foundation for Botanical Research in 1949. This institution will be supported by proceeds from this auction.

H: 19 1/2 in. D of body: 15 in. provenance: Notes: This monumental flask embodies the refinement in ceramic craftsmanship of Qing imperial potters under the supervision of Tang Ying at Jingdezhen kiln during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign. Its smooth greenish-gray glaze and jinsi tiexian (gold thread and iron wire) craquelure highlights the finest imitation of the definitive Song dynasty Ge wares. The moon flask form, assimilated from “pilgrim bottles”, originates from ancient Near East during the Iron Age, and ceramic replicas can be found in China dating back to the Han and Tang dynasties. The molded design of the Eight Trigrams testifies Emperor Yongzheng’s personal fondness of the Taoist traditions. Flasks of this shape and size are extremely rare to find, and only few examples with this glaze have appeared at auction. A Yongzheng marked flask of similar designs with greyish-white glaze was sold at Sotheby’s London, 8th November 2006, lot 173; and another with comparable glaze but different form was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 8th April 2011, Lot 3017. $200,000-400,000

H: 11 1/2 in. provenance: The Kairakuen kiln in Kii province produced ceramics for the Kii branch of the Tokugawa Clan. It is recorded to have fired only four times between 1819 and 1836. The style of this vase reflects an interest in Chinese Ming ceramics that had swept through Japan in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Similar examples of Kairakuen “fahua” vases are in The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore; Musee Cernuschi, Paris; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.

6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer.

The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects.

7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.

8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale.

9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent

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.

total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $75,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $75,001 through $1,500,000, and 12% thereafter.
