FURNISHINGS FROM HISTORIC LEMON HILL MANSION, FAIRMOUNT PARK, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA LOTS 1-91

L

emon Hill mansion has elegantly stood on a spectacular bluff above the Schuylkill River for more than 200 years, affording its visitors with unrivalled views of the river below and the city beyond. Today, the mansion’s extraordinary double-hung windows frame Philadelphia’s most iconic sites: Boat House Row, the Fairmount Waterworks, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. During its extensive and impressive history, the renowned mansion has functioned as an idyllic country villa, ice cream parlor, beer garden, the private residence of Fiske Kimball—the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s first director (1926-1955)— and presently, a historic house.

Philadelphia merchant and horticulturalist, Henry Pratt (1761-1838) built Lemon Hill mansion as a fashionable riverside retreat with extensive gardens and green houses on grounds once owned by Robert Morris (1734-1806). Pratt’s 1799 design incorporated the latest in Neoclassical architectural forms and captured the optimism and energy of the Federal era in Philadelphia. At that time, Philadelphia was the commercial, cultural and political center of the new nation, serving as its Capitol until 1800. As the vibrant “Athens of the Western world,” Philadelphia was America’s most cosmopolitan city and both Pratt and Lemon Hill embodied the sense of style so important to that vigorous era. The mansion was the first property purchased by the city of Philadelphia to become part of Fairmount Park in 1855.

The Colonial Dames of America, Chapter II took charge of the daily operations and maintenance of Lemon Hill in 1957, transforming it into a most believable historic house. They restored the mansion to the splendorous riverside villa Pratt envisioned it to be, recreating for its visitors the sense of escape enjoyed formerly by the 19th century gentry. The Dames selected a group of highly appropriate and sophisticated Federal and Classical period furniture, decorative arts and paintings to furnish the mansion. Though incorporating items from outside the city, the core of the Lemon Hill collection is either Philadelphia-made or has strong Philadelphia provenance.

Many objects have historic ties to Wakefield, a country retreat built by Quakers Sarah Logan (1751-1796) and Thomas Fisher (17411810) at the northeast corner of Ogontz and Lindley in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Wakefield was occupied by four generations of the Fisher family until 1918, when ownership was transferred to the City of Philadelphia. The Colonial Dames of America, Chapter II used the home as their headquarters from 1927-1957, furnishing the property with a number of Fisher family items loaned by Lydia Fisher Warner (1870-1947). Her estate eventually gifted these items to The Colonial Dames, Chapter II, and the furnishings were transferred to Lemon Hill in 1957.

One of the original missions of The Colonial Dames of America, Chapter II was funding scholarships for secondary education.

As the financial obligations of maintaining Lemon Hill increased, scholarship funding decreased. With the goal of returning to the mission of scholarship funding, the Colonial Dames of America, Chapter II are offering the furnishings of Lemon Hill at auction.

All proceeds from this sale will go to the Colonial Dames, Chapter II scholarship fund.

L: 8 1/2 in.

note: According to an article by Rev. Frederick S. Weiser, George Neas (1744-1809) purchased six lots from Richard McAllister, March 7, 1765 in McAllister’s town (now Hanover) on what is now High Street. Neas created a successful tannery on these six lots. He was married to Anna Maria and had a number of children.

A powder horn, in the collection of the Hanover Area Historical Society, also inscribed “George Neas” is engraved with the earliest known map of Hanover, about 1775, and shows the tannery surrounded by a stockade. It is thought that Neas left Hanover with his wife, Mary, for Baltimore about 1780 and rented the tanyard to his brother, Matthias. In 1782, George Neas sold the tannery to Matthias for twelve hundred pounds. George Neas died in Baltimore County a wealthy man, with considerable land and seven slaves.

Register, the six-story building that Freeman’s has called home since 1924 is America’s first purpose-built auction house. It forms an integral part of Freeman’s history and is inextricably linked to the many objects that have passed through it over the years. The imperfect and unrefined warehouse surfaces lend themselves well to backdrops that show the versatility of the furniture and decorative arts on offer. We hope to suggest how they might complement a contemporary aesthetic or work within a more nontraditional design scheme.

TERMS & CONDITIONS All property offered and sold (“property”) through Samuel T. Freeman & Co, (“Freeman’s”) shall be offered and sold on the terms and conditions set forth below which constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale.

By bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1 Unless otherwise indicated, all Property will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for the Consignor.

2 Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the terms of sale and any such variance shall become part of these Conditions of Sale.

3 Buyer acknowledges that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property.

Therefore, all property is sold “AS-IS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property.

4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer.

5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots.

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 by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. 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 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 $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, 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 is 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.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect all lots prior to bidding to ensure that the condition is to their satisfaction.

These are for guidance only, and all lots will be sold “as is” as per our Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. The auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid.

By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Freeman’s representative. Phone lines must be reserved in advance. Requests must be submitted no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled start of the sale.

Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale.

Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

In writing Bid forms are available in the sale room and at the back of the catalogue. These should be submitted in person, by mail or by fax no later than one hour prior to the scheduled start of the sale.

The auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to the limit.
