Important Silver from The Mutual Assurance Company lots 24-30

The Green Tree Collection The Mutual Assurance Company for Insuring Houses from Loss by Fire of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was established in 1784 as an opposing off-shoot to the Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire—the nation’s oldest property insurance company that was organized in 1752 by Benjamin Franklin and his fellows. In 1781, the Contributionship began denying insurance to properties fronted or closely neighbored by trees, asserting that trees pose a fire hazard and impede the work of firefighters. Emerging as an advocate, rather than an adversary, of the arboreal façade favored in Philadelphia, the Mutual Assurance Company declared itself the non-discriminatory alternative to the Contributionship and even adopted a mature tree as its corporate logo and fire mark.

From its first buildings on Walnut Street to its later occupancy of the

Shippen-Wistar and Cadwalader Houses, the Company, known familiarly as “The Green Tree,” is deeply rooted in Philadelphia history and tradition. Their distinctive fire marks still adorn many of the local, landmark buildings and homes—a testament to Green Tree’s longstanding legacy and its dedicated service to the Quaker City.

Amassed over the years by the Company’s trustees, The Green Tree Collection - consisting of Philadelphia views, portraiture, furnishings, fire marks, and firefighting equipment and memorabilia - was published by Anthony N.B. Garvan and Carol A. Wojtowicz, Catalogue of The Green Tree Collection (1977). Freeman’s is pleased to offer the following seven lots - a curated selection of important silver from The Mutual Assurance Company - a company whose rich history is so firmly planted within the greater Philadelphia story.

24 151838/5 Fine silver sugar caster richard humphreys (1750-1832), philadelphia, pa, circa 1775 Octagonal baluster form, with removable pierced cover surmounted by knop finial.

H: 7 in. Weight: 7 1/2 troy oz. provenance: The Green Tree Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: Born in the West Indies, Richard Humphreys (1750-1832) was a Philadelphia Quaker silversmith that was hailed as one of the most artistic craftsmen of his time. He is known for his production of a silver hot water urn that was commissioned by the First Continental Congress in 1774 and presented to Charles Thomson (1729-1824), its first secretary. This historically significant hot water urn, which is presently in the Collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is considered “the first monumental American expression of the Greek-inspired

neoclassical style.” Humphreys was also commissioned by George Washington on June 25, 1780 to make a tablespoon bearing his crest.

Washington later gave the spoon to his wife, Martha Dandrige Custis Washington, and it was passed down through Washington’s family until it was sold in 2005.

It is believed that Richard Humphreys took over renowned craftsman, Philip Syng, Jr.’s silver shop on Front Street, and later opened his own shop at “The Sign of the Coffee Pot.” A successful and distinguished Philadelphia silversmith, Richard Humphreys also became one of the first trustees of the Mutual Assurance Company, where he fashioned this George I style caster, likely to replace a lost one from an earlier existing English set. literature: Garvan, Anthony N. B. and Carol A. Wojtowicz.

Almost identical in form and decoration, the Bamford caster was made about sixty years earlier. literature: Garvan, Anthony N. B. and Carol A. Wojtowicz.

26 151838/2 Important silver presentation tankard joseph lownes (1758-1820), philadelphia, pa, circa 1798 Tapering cylindrical form with reeded bands to body and cover, the flat hinged lid with engraved monogram, “JCB,” the scroll handle surmounted by an openwork thumbpiece, the body engraved with the inscription, “The Underwriters of Philadelphia offer the Tribute of Applause to the Bravery of Captain J.C. Brevoor. The ship Fair American of Philadelphia Commanded by Capt.

John C. Brevoor was Captured by a French Privateer October 7th, 1798, who placed his crew on board their Vessel with the Exception of himself and two of his men, and, after remaining a prisoner nine days, Capt. Brevoor and his two men Recaptured his own Vessel from two French officers and Seven of their Crew and brought them a Prize into the Port of Charleston S.C.” H: 7 1/2 in. Weight: 49 1/2 troy oz. provenance: The Green Tree Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Purchased by the Mutual Assurance Company in the late 19th century directly from the descendants of John Christian Brevoor. note: This tankard was presented by the Underwriters of Philadelphia to Captain John C. Brevoor in honor of his ingenuity and valiant efforts, which resulted in the successful recapturing of the ship he commanded, the Fair American. This vessel, built in Newbury, Massachusetts in 1792 and later owned by Philadelphia merchant Stephen Dutilh, was en route from Philadelphia to Havana carrying domestic and imported goods when it was seized by Captain Bouillis’s French privateer L’Enfant de la Grande Revanche in October 1798.

As the tankard’s inscription recounts, Captain Brevoor, John Schier, and Anthony Fachtman successfully devised and implemented a plan that enabled them to regain control of their ship nine days after its capture and to then sail her to the port of Charleston, South Carolina, whereupon the vessel and its cargo were sold.

During a subsequent legal claim for salvage (Brevoor et al. vs. The Fair American et al.), Brevoor’s actions were deemed to be of “extraordinary merit, in which great gallantry and good conduct, as well as labour and suffering,

were exhibited and endured,” and he and his crew emerged victorious. During said hearing, it was also acknowledged that the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania awarded $600 to the Captain and $200 to each of his crew members at the request of the ship’s and good’s owners, though this monetary reward was deemed by its recipients “a small amount for so great an undertaking as that of three men, retaking a valuable and fine property, from nine French privateersmen.” In the transcripts from the hearing, no mention of the silver tankard is made. Three documents relating to the Fair American are presently in the collection of William L. Clements Library, University of Michigan.

A skilled and important Philadelphia silversmith, Joseph Lownes (1758-1820) made several silver pieces for the Mutual Assurance Company, and also insured his home and shop under the Company’s Policy 948. As his business grew, he insured additional properties on Pine and Front streets in Philadelphia under their policy. literature: Garvan, Anthony N. B. and Carol A. Wojtowicz.

Given to the Mutual Assurance Company in 1879 by Fanny Cadwalader. literature: Garvan, Anthony N. B. and Carol A. Wojtowicz. Catalogue of the Green Tree Collection, (1977), illustrated: p. 98. $20,000-30,000

The Green Tree Collection 29

In 1879, Mrs. Frances “Fanny” Butler Mease Cadwalader (1808-1880) presented these cased jugs to the Mutual Assurance Company after the passing of her husband, Major General George Cadwalader (18061879), who was elected as a trustee of the Mutual Assurance Company in 1839 and served as President from 1857 until his death.

Son of Thomas Cadwalader (17791841) and Mary Biddle (1781-1850), George Cadwalader graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1823 and shortly thereafter enlisted in the First City Troop of the Philadelphia Cavalry. He married Frances “Fanny” Butler Mease, daughter of James Mease (17711846), on May 4, 1830, but the couple produced no heirs.

Cadwalader’s years of military service were studded with great accomplishments. He received recognition for his assistance in suppressing the disturbance and unrest in Philadelphia during the anti-Catholic riots in 1844. Later, while serving as a Brigadier General in the Mexican-American War, he protected an American supply train from Mexican guerillas and was brevetted Major General for his actions at the Battle of Chapultepec; during the Civil War, he was appointed Major General of the Pennsylvania Volunteers and commanded the Second and Sixth divisions of the Army of West Tennessee before being sent on assignment to Washington, D.C. After his retirement from military service in 1865, Cadwalader, a lawyer and businessman, returned

to Philadelphia. He was the owner of both a yacht named Ianthe and a horse named Ned Forrest, celebrated as “the fastest trotter in the world and a steed of matchless beauty.” A notoriously handsome General from a prominent Philadelphia family, Cadwalader’s

likeness was painted by many important artists including Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully and Thomas Eakins.

The undeniable influence of the Cadwalader family, their synonymy with high style, and “the family’s important artistic and cultural legacy, which helped define the character and tastes of [Philadelphia’s] early society” was honored and celebrated by the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s exhibition, The Cadwalader Family: Art and Style in Early Philadelphia (November 3, 1996 February 2, 1997). Given this longstanding tradition of refined taste, it is in keeping that Frances chose to present the Mutual Assurance Company with a pair of askos jugs— a Classical GrecoRoman form that inspired many

pieces of silver and decorative arts in the 19th century. Originally a vessel used by the ancient Greeks for carrying and pouring oils and wine, the askos was later revived as a claret jug and was a form readily utilized by renowned silversmith Paul Storr (1771-1844). Upon Storr’s retirement, his nephew John Samuel Hunt joined the firm, and it is presumed that Mortimer & Hunt derived the present jugs from Storr’s earlier drawings and examples.

A similar single jug with the mark of Paul Storr, London, 1837 was sold Christie’s, New York, January 26 2010, lot 64; another sold Christie’s, London, July 15, 1998, lot 164. We have been unable to trace another pair of cased askos jugs by Paul Storr or Storr and Mortimer having sold at auction.

A Philadelphia native, Abraham Lincoln English (1864-1913) served as Director of Public Safety of Philadelphia under Mayor Samuel Howell Ashbridge (1848-1906, mayor 1899-1903) and is listed as such in the Official Handbook, City Hall, Philadelphia 1901-1902, pp. 18-19. He was a member of many masonic, social and political organizations, including the Union League and Columbia Club, and also a well-known yachtsmen. He was shared owner of the fine yacht Nanon and then owner of the 130ft steam yacht Giralda.

English served as fleet captain and secretary of the Philadelphia Yacht Club before being elected Commodore in 1900, a post that he held until 1904. It is very likely that this punch bowl was presented to English after he concluded his tenure as Commodore. This tradition of presenting the retiring Commodore with a silver punch bowl was continued by the Yacht Club, as documented by a 1911 article in Forest and Stream, Vol. 76, pp. 262-263, which recounts the presentation of “a handsome sterling punch

bowl, ladle, and plateau” to retiring Commodore John H. Bromley—an event at which ExCommodore and Trustee Abraham L. English is known to have spoken.

With its knotted rope rims, dolphin-form masks, engraved yacht, and crossed flags, this punch bowl joins a group of sterling silver presentation pieces and trophies adorned with decorative, nautical motifs commissioned by Yacht Clubs from the predominant silver manufacturers of the late 19th & early 20th centuries.

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. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require.

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

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 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.

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.
