Reed & Barton is one of the most recognizable names in the history of American silver. Over its long history, the company strived for excellence and maintained a steadfast dedication to craftsmanship, producing some of the finest Britannia metal, silver-plated and sterling silver wares of any American factory. The superior quality of the Reed & Barton product earned the company both national and international acclaim: in addition to its popularity among the American consumer, Reed & Barton received important commissions from both national and foreign governments and were the recipients of many prestigious honors and awards, including a Medal of Excellence at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition.

It is a privilege for Freeman’s, as America’s oldest auction house, to be offering seventythree lots from the Reed & Barton Archives, all

of which serve as a testimony to the progress that this quintessentially American company achieved in its near 200 year existence. In the following section, we aim to honor Reed & Barton’s longstanding legacy, its rich history, and its undeniable contribution to the nation’s silver, design, and manufacturing industries. note: The following footnotes contain information gathered from several primary and secondary sources, including Garrelick, Renee. Sterling Seasons: The Reed & Barton Story, (1998).

All archival materials, including photographs and blueprints, courtesy of Reed & Barton; unless indicated by the lot descriptions, the archival material appearing on the following pages is for illustrative purposes only.

The Beginnings

250 151670/1 Britannia metal creamer and covered sugar bowl babbitt, crossman & company, taunton, ma, 1827-1829 The covered sugar bowl marked to underside; together with a conforming teapot marked to underside, “Dixon & Son.�

H: 10 1/2 in. (teapot) provenance: Property from the Reed & Barton Archives, Taunton, Massachusetts. note: Aware of the mercantile demands and the manufacturing trends and techniques developing in England, Isaac Babbitt (1799-1862), a Taunton jeweler, worked to develop a pewter alloy that would facilitate the production of the first Britannia wares in America. Subsequent to his discovery of a formula, he entered into partnership with fellow jeweler, William Crossman on May 7, 1824, and their company, Babbitt & Crossman, began fashioning small, household goods out of Britannia metal. The company changed to Babbitt, Crossman & Company in December 1827 with the additional investment of shop-owner William Allan West.

The present lot demonstrates what a strong influence exported British wares had on Babbitt and Crossman: from the treen knop to the gadrooned edge and the paneled body, the covered sugar bowl and creamer, produced in America, seem to slavishly imitate, both in material and in design, the teapot produced in England.

Although the popularity of Britannia metal would be relatively shortlived and its production soon phased out due to growing demands for silver wares, Britannia metal is still used today, most notably as the base metal for the Oscar statues distributed at the Academy Awards. $600-800

251 151670/4 Four piece Britannia metal tea service crossman, west & leonard, taunton, ma, 1829-1830 Comprising teapot, covered sugar bowl, covered creamer and waste bowl, each piece marked to underside; together with a conforming teapot purportedly from the first service produced under the name of Crossman, West and Leonard, 1829.

H: 11 in. (teapot) provenance: Property from the Reed & Barton Archives, Taunton, Massachusetts.

note: The company operated under the name Crossman, West & Leonard beginning on February 19, 1829, when Babbitt sold his portion to outside investor Zephaniah Leonard. On August 18, 1830, the company further amended its name, changing it to Taunton Britannia Manufacturing Co. $700-900

252 151670/5 Britannia metal cider pitcher roswell gleason, dorchester, ma, circa 1830 Marked to underside.

H: 11 1/2 in. provenance: Property from the Reed & Barton Archives, Taunton, Massachusetts. note: Renowned American pewtersmith, Roswell Gleason (1799-1887), produced fine Britannia metal wares alongside pewter, tinware and lamps from c.1821-1871 and is credited with helping to revolutionize the silver industry through his introduction of silverplated goods to the American market in 1849.

According to Garrelick, Renee. Sterling Seasons: The Reed & Barton Story, (1998), p.

12, Gleason’s business was eventually acquired by Reed & Barton and his tools were used by Reed & Barton in the reproduction of this pitcher for Marshall Field in 1968. illustrated: For a related pitcher by Gleason, described as “The finest type evolved by the Coffee-Pot Era,� see Kerfoot, J.B. American Pewter (1942), Fig. 32. $200-300

253 151670/2 Four piece pewter partial tea service leonard, reed & barton, taunton, ma, 1837-1840 Comprising hot water pot, teapot, creamer and covered sugar bowl, each piece marked to underside and numbered 1505.

H: 11 in. (hot water pot) provenance: Property from the Reed & Barton Archives, Taunton, Massachusetts. note: West and Leonard both sold their interest in the company to Leonard’s son Horatio in 1832. Economic struggles plagued the company in the early 1830s, culminating in its failure in 1834 and a subsequent cease of production from 1834 to 1835.

At this time, craftsmen Henry Reed (1810-1901), a spinner, and Charles Barton (1812-1867), a solderer, were approached to try to salvage the financially floundering company, which reopened under the existing moniker, Taunton Britannia Manufacturing Co., in 1835.

With the transfer of Horatio Leonard’s interest to his son Gustavus in 1837, the company attempted to regain its footing as Leonard, Reed & Barton. $600-800 254 151670/6 Four piece Britannia metal partial tea service reed & barton, taunton, ma, 1840 Comprising hot water pot, teapot, creamer and sugar bowl, each piece marked to underside and numbered 1507.

H: 11 1/4 in. provenance: Property from the Reed & Barton Archives, Taunton, Massachusetts. illustrated: A Reed & Barton Britannia Tea Set No. 1507 is illustrated in Garrelick, Renee. Sterling Seasons: The Reed & Barton Story, (1998), p.

12. It is described as one of the first wares to bear the Reed & Barton mark. note: On August 26, 1840, Reed & Barton jointly purchased Leonard’s interest, thereby founding the company of Reed & Barton.

Neighbors, co-workers and then business partners, Henry Reed and Charles Barton established a steadfast bond and lasting friendship, honored by Reed through his retention of the Reed & Barton name after Barton’s untimely death on September 13, 1867. That day, Barton suffered a stroke on his way home from the factory and purportedly died with Reed at his bedside. $800-1,200 255 151670/8 Two pewter chargers and a pewter water pitcher reed & barton, taunton, ma, 1840s The first charger inscribed, “Pewter Plate made a century ago”; the second, larger, inscribed, “Pewter Plate made eighty years ago” and marked to underside; the hexagonal water pitcher marked to underside; together with a silver-plated charger, manufactured and plated by Reed & Barton.

illustrated: The water pitcher depicted, Garrelick, Renee. Sterling Seasons: The Reed & Barton Story, (1998), p. 13. note: Well-versed in the process of electro-plating, Henry Reed helped introduce this innovative, manufacturing technique to Reed & Barton in the mid 19th century, enabling the company to successfully respond to the shifting market that favored silverplated wares over those made from Britannia metal. $700-900

Shortly after the formation of the Taunton Britannia Manufacturing Company in August 1830, the Company moved from its two-story brick shop on Lafayette Street to its present location on West Britannia Street in the neighborhood of Hopewell (now Whittenton). The site’s original building, which was one hundred feet long and three stories high, capitalized on the waterpower offered by the adjacent Mill River, and it still stands today. The building, along with those subsequently erected, including a factory retail store and an entrance fitted with “silver” doors, were inducted into the National Register of Historic Places on June 27, 1986 as Taunton’s oldest industry operating continuously on the same site.

Taunton, Massachusetts bears the nickname “Silver City” due to the 40+ silversmiths that have operated there over the years. During the 18th and 19th centuries, though, it was an industrial town that saw the growth of many industries, including fishing, pottery, brickmaking, textiles, etc. The Reed & Barton facility, arguably the town’s most well-known manufactory, operated alongside many others that produced iron and metal-wares, including Old Colony Iron Co., established in the 1820s as Horatio Leonard & Company (see Lot 253 for note explaining Leonard’s relationship to Reed & Barton). In the 1870s, Old Colony Iron Co. were the largest manufacturers of nails in New England. $400-600

Philadelphia International Centennial Exhibition, 1876. $150,000-250,000

The award-winning centerpiece of Reed & Barton’s display in the Main Exhibition Hall at the 1876 Philadelphia International Centennial Exhibition.

Described by Reed & Barton in their notes for the Exhibition judges as “A Symbolic Representation of the Progress of America, from Savage to Civilized Life, embracing the period in History from its Discovery to the Present Time,” and by the awards judges as “an original and elaborate composition of striking character and praiseworthy excellence, both in design and execution,” the Progress Vase foretells the rise of America in terms of industry, commerce, art, and science on the hundredth anniversary of the nation’s independence. The contrast between the depictions of the Native Americans, with their chaotic and warlike poses, running over a barren and untamed land littered with skulls and serpents; and the 19th century Americans, represented as goddesses and serene figures derived from Antiquity—beautiful, calm and surrounded by bounty, perfectly encapsulates 19th century attitudes towards progress, manifest destiny and the building of the American nation.

The 1876 Philadelphia International Centennial Exhibition was not Reed & Barton’s first such fair, they having exhibited both at the Exposition Internacional de Chili held in Santiago in 1875, and the New York World’s Fair in 1854, where, the company states, they “received the first Premiums, Medals and Diplomas.” For their Philadelphia exhibit, the company showed 1040 articles the combined value of which was $24,500, and the cost to exhibit them a hefty $15,250. Correspondence the company had with Henry Pettit, Chief of the Bureau of Installation for the Centennial, reveals that Reed & Barton requested a “rosewood & French plate glass case & base for same to contain a display of gold and silver plated ware” and that it “should be placed where there is good light... and a wide passage

Property from the Reed & Barton Archives 101

completely round it” to occupy the not inconsiderable space of 216 (amended from 209) square feet. The reply from Pettit on October 25th 1875 revealed that “the drawing of the case has not yet arrived, and we will wait until we see it before granting such a large space. Please hurry it up.”

They sent the drawing two days later, and were eventually installed in the East Transept of Main Building, no. 47.

Given the Exhibition’s theme of celebrating America’s Independence, many American silver manufacturing companies produced large scale centerpieces for the Exhibition that highlighted the strength and accession of America, and demonstrated that American firms’ design and execution in the fine arts was as good, if not better, than that being produced in Europe at that time. Reed & Barton’s Progress Vase, and Gorham’s sterling silver Century Vase (which won the Exhibition’s comparable award for solid sterling silver), are the two most notable of these. As well as the award for the Progress Vase, Reed & Barton also won an award for their coffin mounts (praised for their “fine workmanship and ornamental finish”), and one for their overall display, including “...dinner and tea services, and all varieties of household and table ware... with finish of a superior character... their designs of great excellence.” Reed & Barton later exhibited at several other fairs, the following being the American Institute Fair in New York in 1878, where they also won awards for their fine quality of workmanship and design.

Love Disarmed lots 267 & 268 One of Reed & Barton’s most desirable patterns, ‘Love Disarmed’ was designed by Charles A. Bennett and produced from 1899 until 1928, when it was discontinued. On account of its popularity, the company reintroduced the pattern in the 1970s. Purportedly inspired in part by Shakespeare’s Sonnet 154, ‘Love Disarmed’ depicts a female figure—commonly identified as Venus, the Goddess of Love—with her son, Cupid, nestled beneath her upraised arm. Clad in a diaphanous robe with delicate folds that speak to the intricacy of the design and showcase the Company’s dedication to superior craftsmanship, Venus holds Cupid’s bow in her left hand while seemingly hiding his quiver of arrows with her right.

Francis I lots 269-278

A pattern fit for royalty, the ‘Francis I’ flatware pattern is Reed & Barton’s most impressive and widely admired design. Designed by Ernest Meyers between 1906 and 1908, the pattern was inspired by the Renaissance-Baroque metalwork of Benvenuto Cellini, the sculptor to King Francis I of France. As a reference to the date of the king’s coronation in 1515, Meyers designed fifteen different fruit and flower arrangements to adorn each ‘Francis I’ piece, leading the design to commonly be referred to as “fifteen patterns in one.” The ornate design and opulence of ‘Francis I’ has made it a favored service of royal, political, and aristocratic patrons including three American presidents. In 1924, Reed & Barton was awarded one million dollars to design a ‘Francis I’ pattern sterling silver dinner service for the Maharajah of Barwani of India. This pattern has remained Reed & Barton’s signature pattern, and their most timeless and sought after design.

49 in. x 39 in. (sight) provenance: Private Virginia Collection.

With typed note affixed to frame, “Dr. Charles A.Q. Norton Collection No. 462 Portrait of Mistress Clayton Williams...” with additional handwritten note affixed to canvas, “I bought this painting in Brandy Station in the Summer of 1866 C.C.A.N.” These initials may stand for Captain Charles A. Norton. note: William Williams (b. circa 1725) of Culpeper County, Virginia is listed as a magistrate and militia officer in Sons of the Revolution in State of Virginia Quarterly Magazine, Volumes 1-2, p. 69. He married Lucy Clayton (c.1727-1775), daughter of Major Philip Clayton (1702-1786) of “Catalpa,” and they had nine children, including Major John Williams (b.1752), officer in the Culpeper Minute Men during the Revolutionary War, and General James Williams (1758-1822), who rose to the rank of Captain in the Revolutionary War, served as a Major General of Militia in the War of 1812, and was an original member of the Society of Cincinnati.

Henry Wilder Foote’s article, “Charles Bridges ‘Sergeant-Painter of Virginia’ 1745-1740” The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography Vol. 60, No. 1, Jan. 1952, p.7, notes that both Mantle Fielding, Dictionary of American Painters, Sculptors and Engravers, p. 61 and John Hill Morgan, Early American Painters (1921), pp. 10-11, state, albeit mistakenly, that Bridges was working in Virginia from 1730-1750, which may explain why the date

present on this portrait contradicts more recent scholarship that suggests he returned to England in about 1744 before passing away in 1747.

According to a newspaper article entitled, “A Moment of Disaster,” Captain Charles A.Q. Norton “had gathered an impressive collection of [Civil] war relics and memorabilia— a small traveling museum, in fact.

He traveled the country exhibiting these...” Counted among the Confederate items within his collection were the American Flag that General Phil Sheridan had raised in Columbia, South Carolina; a ship’s bell from the Confederate ironclad Merrimac, and Converse’s painting of “The Battle of Gettysburg.” Given the handwritten note affixed to the canvas’s verso, it is possible that Norton acquired this painting as another war relic, especially considering that the Battle of Brandy Station was fought during the Civil War on June 9, 1863. $8,000-12,000 325 151758/6 William and Mary painted rushseat roundabout chair new england, early 18th century The flattened arms above slatted backs, turned legs, the front leg with vase turning.

H: 7 1/8 in. Weight: 33 1/4+ troy oz. provenance: From the Estate of William Fitch Hamilton, a Collector from Westchester County, New York and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. note: The decorative elements on this tankard—including the serrated lid, the handle’s applied maskhead and swags, the cherub’s head terminal, and the foot’s applied crimped wire and leaf border—relate to those on a Van Dyck tankard in the Sterling and Francine Clark Institute, 2003.4.221, and bear even closer comparison to an exceptional tankard by Van Dyck in the Mabel Brady Garvan Collection at Yale University Art Gallery, 1930.1067.

These stylistic motifs and characteristics, which were carried over into New York silver from the Dutch tradition, are best exemplified by a highly important tankard made by first generation New York silversmith Bartholomew Le Roux (1663-1713), sold Christie’s, New York, January 18-19, 2002, sale 1003, lot 309.

Given that Van Dyck apprenticed with Le Roux beginning in 1700 and married Le Roux’s daughter, Rachel, in 1711, it is unsurprising and understandable that Van Dyck embraced and continued the stylistic traditions of his master, and Le Roux’s influence is recognizable in this tankard through the aforementioned elements. $15,000-30,000

337 152230/1 Attributed to John Hesselius (17281778) portrait of slator (slater) clay (1754-1821) of new castle, de and philadelphia, pa, 1759 Pencil inscription to verso of re-lined canvas, likely transcribed from original, “Slater Clay 1759 age five years J.H.,” oil on canvas, framed.

29 1/4 in. x 24 3/8 in. (sight) provenance: Descended in the family of the sitter to the present owner.

A letter, written by William John Potts and dated July 10, 1879, notes that “a portrait in oil, about three quarter length of the Rev Slator Clay is in the possession of Mrs. Harriet (Clay) Leaf wife of the Rev Edmund Leaf Rector of the Church at Birdsboro PA. Mrs. Leaf is the dau. of Chas. Clay and grand daughter of the Rev. Slator Clay. The portrait is not of much merit as a work of art.

It was taken at the age of five years in 1759? The young gentleman is represented with a cardinal bird in his hand a favorite style of the day.

As this may be the work of an early American painter (...Hesselius?) it is of interest.”

note: A probable fourth to add to a series of three known paintings by John Hesselius depicting members of the notable and distinguished Clay Family of New Castle, Delaware, as discussed in Fleischer, Roland E. “Three Recently Discovered Portraits

by John Hesselius,” The Magazine Antiques, March 1981, pp. 666-668.

The existence of this portrait seems to confirm Fleischer’s suspicions that Hesselius painted the Clay’s other children concomitant to his painting of Slater Clay (1711-1767), Ann Clay (1723-1789) with Mary Clay (1758-1801), and Thomas Clay (1753-1793) in 1759.

From the use of rich color and careful depiction of fabric to the sitter’s elegant pose and pleasant disposition, the present portrait bears much stylistic resemblance to Hesselius’s portrait of Thomas Clay, discussed by Fleischer and currently in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, accession number 2009-16-9 (see illustration above).

These artistic choices bespeak a maturation in Hesselius’s style that is often attributed to the influence of John Wollaston (1710-1775), an English painter who was active in the Colonies from 1749 to 1767 and

Courtesy of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

who helped introduce the more decorative traditions of the English Rococo into Colonial portraiture.

Fleischer notes that with his first known painting dating from 1749, John revealed that “he had largely abandoned the sober, naturalistic style of his father [Gustavus Hesselius (1682-1755)] in favor of the brighter, more decorative style of Robert Feke [c.1705-c.1752];” however, it is in the portraits of the Clay family that Fleischer believes we can distinctly detect Hesselius’s shift away from Feke towards Wollaston, with the portrait of Thomas Clay, and arguably now, also the portrait of his brother Slator Clay, being the most “stylistically advanced.” The composition of the present painting may have been inspired directly by Wollaston’s double portrait of Mann Page and his sister Elizabeth, 1757, in which the young Master Page is depicted holding a tethered red cardinal in his outstretched arm.

The fifth child of Slater Clay (17111767) and Ann Curtis Clay (17231789), Slator (Slater) Clay was born on October 1, 1754 in New Castle, Delaware. He married Hannah Holstein (1748-1832) on December 3, 1786 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Though a trained lawyer, Clay later shifted his focus to religion and was ordained a deacon in Christ Church, Philadelphia by Bishop White on December 23, 1787. According to an account by one of his sons, Rev. Jehu C. Clay (see: Hotchkin, Rev. S.F. Early Clergy of Pennsylvania and Delaware, (1890), pp. 91-93), Rev. Slator Clay was, “five feet and eight inches high, and his body was slender and delicate, his eyes were of a hazel color, and his countenance was ‘benign and interesting.’ He was affable to friends. His Christian character made him humble, gentle and childlike.” Slator and Harriet had four children: Ann, George, Jehu Curtis, and Charles Holstein, the last of whom was appointed the executor of Slator’s will and estate. $20,000-30,000

“The lady’s secretary-bookcase became ever more popular in early 19th century Boston as women became better educated, betterread and increasingly took on letterwriting as an expression of their role in the ‘polite’ arts. The form provided for all three. No makers in Boston met this specialized market with secretaries of greater refinement than the father-son duo John and Thomas Seymour. Made at the very end of near John’s working career (at age nearly 70) it bears distinctive pairs of chalk numbers on the interior corners of lower drawer linings following his lifelong habit of alignment marking. His son Thomas has recently opened his Boston Furniture Warehouse in his own name, after a decade of working in a secondary role for his father at the predecessor shop, John Seymour & Son. The secretary more strongly reflects Thomas’ increasing maturity than his father’s older habits of workmanship. The three-section case is typical for them, although at later dates, Thomas employed much taller, more vertical upper cases.

The secretary reflects Thomas’ superior ambition, artistic eye for design, habits of selection of superb combinations of veneers and high-

level of craftsmanship. The chisel stab marks “III” and “IIII” chisel stab marks on the interior of lower case sides indicate this was one {of} at least two similar secretaries made at the same time. The Seymours rarely made two identical pieces, rather habitually varying the details so that most of their work is unique.

The choice of solid blind doors on the middle case is uncommon but not unknown for them, as they usually preferred reeded tambour doors.

Numerous features closely follow the Seymour’s habits. The distinctive shaped feet were called “therm” or “term” in England, with the legs and swelled portions of the feet cut and shaped entirely from one piece of wood. English price books of the period call such veneered feet “paneled”, with their botany Bay oak (from Australia) being a favorite veneer choice of the Seymours. Careful attention to selection and book-matching of figured veneers, the use of blackwhite veneer stringing combinations to outline virtually every panel, and the inlay of panels of contrasting exotic wood veneers is also typical. Two of their favorite decorative stringing patterns were

selected, one a sort of “checkered” black-white wood pattern, the other sometimes called “dart” pattern (lower case edges). The column pilasters employ their common device of inlays with curly maple strips which imitate fluting. Each curl of the maple figure is accentuated by scorching them very dark with a hot iron poker. Edges of each strip are similarly scorced. The finely worked double beads on the curving bars of the glass doors is also characteristic, as are the neo-classical vase-shaped keyhole inlays of bone or ivory on doors and drawers. The most elaborate pattern adds elegant shaped hadles to the urn for the inlay on the central tablet of the cornice.” ~Robert D. Mussey Jr. published: Stoneman, Vernon. John and Thomas Seymour: Cabinetmakers in Boston 1794-1816, (1959), no. 47, pg. 105.

14 3/4 in. x 31 1/2 in. (image size) note: According to The Connecticut Magazine: An Illustrated Monthly, Vol. 10, pp. 705-706, in 1860, the Norwich and New York Transportation Company ordered two boats to be designed by Charles Copeland and built by Lawrence and Sneeden. Referred to by J.S. Scott Russell as “remarkable specimens of American architecture,” the City of Boston and the City of New York measured nearly 300 ft in length with 80 inch cylinder engines and wheels that were 37 ft. 8 in. in diameter. Built for speed, the City of Boston made its first trip from New York on July 4, 1861 and was deemed “The Queen of the Sound” after vanquishing the Fall River Line’s Metropolis in a race. Both the City of Boston and the City of New York were retired and broken up in 1896.

by Capt. Ray Allen and later by Capt. Jesse Mott. On Aug. 2, 1873, she set a record by making the run from New York to Stonington in 6 hrs and 16 min. Seven years later, on Nov. 8, 1880, she was destroyed in a storm after crashing into a ledge in Narragansett Bay. Though the ship was largely destroyed, her engine was salvaged from the wreckage, restored, and then used in the new, 332-foot steamer bearing the same name, which was launched in November 1881 by shipbuilder Robert Palmer.

H: 20 in. W: 49 in. D: 22 in. provenance: Property of a Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts Estate.

Purchased in Virginia in 1952. note: The known furniture decorated by Johannes Spitler dates from the 1790s to about 1810, when he relocated with his family from Virginia to Ohio. During these approximately 20 years, Spitler worked in three distinct styles of decoration. This chest falls into Spitler’s first style due to his strong use of geometric devices, including squares, diamonds and compass-drawn circles and flowers.

It is interesting to note that a chest attributed to Spitler, also dated “1798” and numbered “48” is inscribed with the same backwards “N” as seen on the present example; this backwards “N” also appears on two case clocks attributed to Spitler; see Walters, Donald. “Johannes Spitler, Shenandoah County, Virginia, Furniture Decorator,” The Magazine Antiques, October 1975, fig. 1 & 4, pp. 730-731. $40,000-60,000

Hanks’s article, “American Silver at the Art Institue of Chicago,” The Magazine Antiques, Vol. XCVIII, No.3, September 1970, pg. 422, fig.

11. note: In light of the engraved date of “1850” on the present teapot, this tea service, per tradition, has been acknowledged—along with a child’s cup dating from the same year—as the earliest examples of holloware produced by Gorham. An article published by Harper’s New Monthly Magazine in 1868 mistakenly identifies a Chinese tea service

produced in 1851 as the earliest known pieces; however, the engraving on this teapot along with the 1849 marriage date of the service’s recipient suggests that this service in fact predates that made in 1851, making it the earliest known tea service produced by Gorham.

The mark present on the underside of all pieces was used while John Gorham was in partnership with his cousin Gorham Thurber from 18501852 and the set was possibly exhibited at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition of 1876. $8,000-12,000

533 Extremely rare set of twelve sterling silver and mixed metal ‘Narragansett’ pattern oyster forks gorham mfg. co., providence, ri, introduced 1884 Each of a unique design, the handles applied with underwater plant and animal life forms, including seaweed, conch shells, fish, crabs, and barnacles, each terminating in a shell, some with sand particles, each marked to back of stem with maker’s mark and stamped “Sterling” “& Other Metals.”

L: 6 3/4 in. Total weight: approx. 13+ troy oz. provenance: Descended in the family to the present owner.

A handwritten note that descended with the forks reads, “Oyster Forks made for grandfather Howard Aug. Smith — G (his friend) Gorham...”

See Lot 527 for additional information regarding provenance.

note: To the best of our knowledge, the first complete set of twelve silver and mixed metal oyster forks in the ‘Narragansett’ pattern to be offered at auction. The handwritten note that has passed down with the forks suggests that this set is, “1 of only 12 in the Country.”

There are multiple known examples of ‘Narragansett’ serving pieces with gilt-washed bowls and parcel gilded highlights—and even a completely gilded berry spoon (currently in the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas, 1991.76) - but the presence of additional metals, including entwined copper seaweed tendrils, in the present set renders them extremely rare.

The realization of an unknown designer’s vision, Gorham’s elaborate, naturalistic ‘Narragansett’ pattern, introduced in 1884, is simultaneously a celebration of the diversity of marine life found in the Narragansett Bay and an homage to craftsmanship, creativity and design. The rarity of pieces from this pattern is likely attributable to its expensive, timely and labor-intensive production. For a further discussion of the pattern, see: Hood, William P. Jr., John R. Olson, Charles S. Curb, and Willis H. Thompson III, “Masterpieces of Naturalism: Gorham’s Narragansett Flatware,” The Magazine Antiques, September 2002, pp. 92-101. $10,000-15,000

Weighable silver: approx. 265 troy oz.

provenance: Descended in the family to the present owner.

The monogram “HAW” stands for Helen Augusta Wilmerding (1856-1936), who married “EB”~ Edward Bell (1860-1902) on March 1, 1881.

Their son, Edward Bell (1882-1924) married Bertha Etelka Surtees (b.1891) on February 16, 1914, and it is believed that this flatware service passed to them in honor of their nuptials. The couple had two daughters, Evangeline, who married United States Ambassador David Bruce, and Virginia, a renowned expert on the PreRaphaelite movement and auther of a catalogue raisonné of Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882).

note: Edward Bell (1882-1924) became Secretary in the US Embassy in London in 1914, and was involved in the interception and decoding of the “Zimmerman Telegram,” resulting in the United States’s entry into WWI. $8,000-12,000

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.

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.
