Property from the Collection of Dr. Morris Shelanski: A Philadelphia Doctor, Entrepreneur and Prolific Collector of Fine and Decorative Art lots 1 to 48 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.”

Property from the renowned collection of Henry C. Gibson (1830-1891) and his descendants lots 49-59 Born the son of John Gibson, bank accountant and founder of a successful Pennsylvania distillery, Henry C. Gibson diversified the family’s holdings while remaining partner of the distillery for approximately 30 years. As a financier and banker, he was a founder and life director of the Fidelity Insurance, Trust & Safe Deposit Co. (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,

Henry C. Gibson and his family.

encompassed one of the greatest art collections ever assembled in America. It included significant holdings of European furniture and works of art, Imperial Chinese porcelain and Cloisonné enamel, superb European paintings and American sculpture.

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.

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: 27, D: 13 in. note: First discovered in the Urals in 1635, malachite quickly became a favored material by Russian stoneworkers.

Artists at the imperial lapidary workshop in Peterhof developed innovative techniques for its application, cutting the stone into thin veneers which were then carefully arranged on a smooth surface to create a decorative and seamless effect. Despite their success with the material, the distance between Peterhof and the malachite deposits proved challenging and in 1765 the imperial administration established the workshops at Ekaterinburg in closer proximity to the material’s source.

It is possible that these urns were made for the May-November 1862 International Exposition in London, which did include works from the Ekaterinburg stoneworks as listed in the printed catalogue for the Russian section. We have been unable to trace any other piece signed in ink from the Ekaterinburg workshop, yet these are inscribed by the maker and dated March 1862, two months before the exhibition opened. Henry C. Gibson acquired many pieces from International Expositions, and photographic evidence records these urns as being in his collection as early as the 1880s. $20,000-30,000

H: 28 1/2, D: 26 in. note: From the Henry C. Gibson home at 1612 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, designed by Furness and Hewitt in 1870 to house Gibson's incredible collection. The interiors were formed into a series of small rooms, called "cabinets'', that suited the aesthetic movement notion that art should be integrated into the living space, rather than separated in a gallery. "Furness and Hewitt drenched the interior of the Gibson house in sybaritic splendor, making it look rather like an extended Moorish smoking room. Each cabinet was distinguished by cusped horseshoe arches and geometric wood screens, behind which tantalizing vistas beckoned. Even the furniture was designed with an eye toward the ensemble, so that leonine heads guarded the table and roared beneath the fireplace mantel". (Michael J. Lewis, "Frank Furness, Architecture & the Violent Mind", 2001).

The Debra and I. Michael Coslov Collection of Important English Majolica lots 60-174 I Michael Coslov is very well known in the steel industry. As the former Chief Executive Officer and chairman of Tube City IMS, LLC, he has been awarded Businessman of the Year by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. He is involved in numerous civic organizations, most notably as a Board Member of the Franklin Institute, as well as a Board Member of the Boys’ Latin Charter School, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and former Chairman of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Red Cross. He has also been involved for many years with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia.

Amassed over several years by I Michael Coslov and his wife Debra, this collection of English majolica contains many of the most desirable pieces by makers Minton, George Jones, Copeland and others, and includes most of the important and rare pieces in the genre, one of the most quintessential of nineteenth century English decorative art forms.

These bright, whimsical and naturalistic designs used a thick tin-glaze often in deep blues and greens, and bright yellows and turquoise, reflected their use close to, or in, the English garden - where exotic plants could be grown and kept in the Orangery in majolica cache pots, or tea poured from leaf decorated teapots, or water stored in large majolica cisterns - all protected from the outdoor elements by the thick, colorful glaze. Many of the forms reflect the Victorian interest in the culinary, such as game tureens designed with hares, venison, and partridge; lobster and sardine boxes, and oyster plates.

Others are more humorous, such as punch bowls supported by figures of Punch, and the rare Mintons tortoise-form or ‘spiky-fish’ teapots.

60 141849/1 Large George Jones majolica yellow ground “Punch” punch bowl second half 19th century Deep rounded form, the bowl modeled as an orange rind encircled by mistletoe and holly picked out in colors against the yellow ground, supported by the recumbent figure of Punch in brightly colored guignol costume resting on a mottled tortoiseshell base, the base impressed with registration lozenge, other marks, hand painted 2468 with three dots.

H: 10, D: 14 in. note: The decoration of the ‘punch’ bowl with mistletoe and holly points to its status as one of the special yuletide designs created

by George Jones. The glaze of the base is also characteristic of Jones’ work. The distinctive tortoiseshell mottling in brown and green was widely copied, though less successfully executed, by American and English potteries.

George Jones trained with Minton’s, where he would work for twelve years and contribute majolica designs known for their naturalism. In 1861 he established the Trent pottery behind Minton’s in Stoke-on-Trent with the intention of creating parian ware. The firm however soon turned its creations to the production of majolica, creating works similar in quality, but less formal in appearance than that of Minton’s. His work was awarded medals at the international expositions in Paris in 1867 and London in 1871, by which time his pottery had grown to include nearly six hundred workers.

His majolica continued to win awards at expositions in Vienna in 1873 and Sydney 1876.

His majolica incorporated playful details that distinguish his work from the more restrained approach exhibited by Minton. Here that quality is demonstrated by the incorporation of the chick beneath the woodcock’s wing. A second variation of this game pie dish exists; in it, the woodcock surmounting the cover is depicted with an empty nest. literature: Marilyn G. Karmason, Joan B. Stacke.

A creamer, likely an accompaniment to the teapot, depicts a squirrel enjoying his nut unaware of the threat of nearby foxes peeking through medallions on the frieze below. The design for this teapot is attributed to Christopher Dresser by Karmason & Stacke. The sugar bowl and cover is similar in design and color palette and may also be related. literature: Marilyn G.

256 141924/1 Fine Brussels mythological entrefenêtre tapestry panel early 18th century Depicting a scene from the Story of Telemachus from Homer’s Odyssey, when Telemachus was shipwrecked on the island of Calypso and greeted

by Calypso and her nymphs, the border composed of scrolling strapwork cartouches with bellflowers and acanthus leaves at the corners, centered by classical masks at the upper and lower edge.

H: 140, W: 77 in. note: Telemachus was the son of Ulysses who set out in search of his father when he failed to return after the Trojan war. During this search Telemachus was shipwrecked on the island of the goddess Calypso, who fell in love with him, and persuaded him to stay with her and tell her his stories of adventure. Telemachus however fell in love with one of Calypso’s nymphs, which led to Calypso’s fury and Telemachus being thrown into the sea, whereupon he was rescued by a passing vessel.

The first series of tapestries depicting the story of Telemachus were designed by Jan van Orley (d.

1735) and Augustin Coppens (d.

1740), and were woven by Jodocus de Vos and the Auwercx workshops before 1710. Other versions followed, including another series designed by Orley and Coppens and produced at the Leyniers workshops between 1724-1736. The cartoon for the present tapestry could have been designed by Maximilien de Haese (1710-1781), van Orley’s nephew, and very similar borders to the present tapestry appear on “Christ after Temptation” from the workshop of J.B. Vermillon, illustrated in “Flemish tapestries” by G. Delmarcel, Tielt 1999, page 335. $6,000-10,000

H: 25 1/4, D: 7 5/8 in. provenance: Sold on behalf of St. Peter’s Church, Philadelphia.

Likely given to the Church in the 19th century by a member of the prominent Burd-Shippen-Sims families, possibly having belonged to General Thomas Cadwalader (1779-1841). Considered to have originally been the property of Joseph Bonaparte (1768-1844), the former King of Spain and Napoleon’s elder brother. exhibited: “The Cadwalader Family: Art and Style in Early Philadelphia” November 3, Philadelphia Museum of Art, November 3 1996-February 2, 1997. literature: Jefferys (C.P.B.) “The Provincial and Revolutionary History of St. Peter’s Church, Philadelphia, 1753-1783”, p.2.

note: Claude Galle (1759-1815) is one of the most celebrated Parisian bronziers of the late Louis XVI and Empire periods. He served his apprenticeship under his father in law, Pierre Foy, became a maitre-fondeur in 1786 and took over Foy’s workshop in 1788 when Foy died. Galle was a major supplier to the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne under Louis XVI as well as Napoleon’s Garde-meuble Impérial, producing chandeliers, wall lights, clock cases and other bronzes d’ameublement for the Fontainebleau, Saint-Cloud, and Tuilleries palaces.

He is known to have collaborated with Pierre-Philippe Thomire (d.

1843), his main rival and principal bronzier to the Napoleonic court.

The winged griffins and the triangular bases of these candelabra are characteristic of Galle’s work and are very similar to those on a pair which Galle delivered for the Salon d’Imperatrice at Fontainebleau in 1807. The standard and base are identical to a pair of candelabra attributed to Claude Galle offered at Christie’s in 2002.

This pair of candelabra are being sold on behalf of St Peter’s Church in Philadelphia and were given to the church in the 19th century by a member of an important Philadelphia family.

According to The Church Standard, Philadelphia, volume 80, no. 1 (November 3rd, 1900), the candelabra were “presented by Joseph Bonaparte to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sims, and were in turn bequeathed to the church by the widow of their grandson”.

C.P.B. Jefferys’ book, The Provincial and Revolutionary History of St. Peter’s Church, Philadelphia, 1753-1783, (1924), mentions the candelabra in situ in the vestryroom at St. Peter’s Church: “On the window-sill stand two ornate candlesticks reputed to have come from the country home of Joseph Bonaparte, near

Bordentown, N.J.” They were exhibited at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the winter of 1996-1997, in the exhibition Cadwalader Family: Art and Style in Early Philadelphia. The accompanying book, by Jack L. Lindsey and Darrell Sewell, explains the relationship between General Thomas Cadwalader and Joseph Bonaparte. Cadwalader was “a man of great intellect and style” whose Philadelphia home became a center for scholarly debate and entertainment for many of Philadelphia’s intellectual and influential leaders. It is no doubt through these contacts that he met Joseph Bonaparte, the former King of Spain, who came to America after Napoleon was defeated by the British and exiled in

1815. Bonaparte’s villa, Point Breeze, was a riverside mansion replete with exquisite collections of European paintings and furniture, which no doubt influenced the Philadelphia society’s taste for French decoration.

Cadwalader and Bonaparte had a close relationship and corresponded often. Bonaparte is recorded as giving Cadwalader works of art, including a rare and valuable ancient Greek vase in 1833; and a fine painting The Rape of Europa, by NoelNicolas Coypel (French, 1690-1734) as a parting gift in October 1839, which now hangs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
