5 A Russian Imperial Porcelain military plate imperial porcelain factory, st. petersburg, 1891 “Officier Superieur et Subalterne du Regt. des Grenadiers de la Garde“ [Superior Officer and Subalternate of the Regt. of Grenadiers of the Guard] depicting two Grenadiers at ease in a landscape, the title in French on verso, and with green underglaze cypher of Alexander III dated for 1889, signed M. Shmakov and dated 1891.

Dia: 9 1/2 in. note: The military porcelain plates commissioned by Nicholas I are considered perhaps the greatest expressions of the art of the Russian Imperial Porcelain Factory. The offered lot was likely specially commissioned as a gift during the period of Alexander III, and is a unique example of the Imperial Porcelain Factory’s ability to recreate a period form faithfully and with enormous fidelity and skill.

The Military Plates of Nicholas I (1825-1855) It was during the reign of Nicholas I, that the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St Petersburg reached its peak, and the technical proficiency and scientific advances of this period of production are regarded as the apex of the factory’s work. During Nicholas’ reign, in addition to the importation of French kaolin clay, leadbased fluxes and oxide tints increased the palette offered by the factory. The invention of a durable fire-gilding process which could be burnished increased the number of luxurious effects available. In 1827, Nicholas ordered 120 military dessert plates, many of whose subjects can be seen in the 1830 edition of Sobranie mundirov rossiiskoi imperatorskoi armii (A Collection of Uniforms of the Imperial Russian Army), with plates after images rendered by P. Alexandrov and L. Belousov. There were the “golden” and “green” plates, named for their borders, all featuring meticulous military subjects in their cavetti.

The Period of Alexander III (1881-1894) The offered lot shows the “Officier Superieur et Subalterne du Regt. des Grenadiers de la Garde“ [Superior Officer and Subalternate of the Regt. of Grenadiers of the Guard] and was painted by artist M. Shmakov after the original lithograph by L. Belousov. Shmakov is recorded as starting as a modeler and decorator at the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in the reign of Alexander III, and worked into the period of Nicholas II. In addition to this exceptional military plate, his most notable contribution was in his work on the objects designed for the Imperial Porcelain Factory by Konstantin Somov. (cf. Khmelnitskaya, pp. 200-201.)

We are aware of unique copies of the military service plates from the “golden” and “green” series, executed under subsequent reigns examples from the periods of Alexander II, Alexander III and Nicholas II survive. The latest known plate with a gold borders and an image of the “Lancer (private) of the 1st Squadron of the Life Guards of the Ulan Regiment” dates to 1896.

These very small number of military plates commissioned at later dates confirm the assumption that these were not “replacement” or “expansoion” pieces, but specially commissioned unique versions, intended perhaps as gifts.

Freemans is exceptionally grateful to Ekaterina Khmelnitskaya, PhD., St. Petersburg, for her assistance in the cataloging of this lot. literature: Khmelnitskaya, E.

Dia: 9 1/4 in.

A later order was placed before the coronation of Emperor Nicholas II and the the service increased to 47,000 pieces. While the Emperor himself used a gold service at the banquet following the coronation, this service was used for the thousands of guests.

L: 10 1/2, H: 1 in. provenance: Georg Wertheim.

Lotte Wertheim.

By descent through the family.

Private collection, Virginia. note: This diadem was once in the collection of famed German merchant and entrepreneur Georg Wertheim (1857-1939), founder of Wertheim department stores in the late 19th century. Within two decades it was the largest retail company in Germany; despite (or perhaps because of) this success, the family was forced to “Aryanize” the company in 1933, which required relinquishing ownership to an “Aryan” citizen. His wife, Ursula, met the legal requirements and was able to become the principal shareholder, keeping the company in the family. It was nevertheless rebranded under the German name Allgemeine Warenhandels-Gesellschaft, and by 1951 no longer remained in family control.

This diadem descended to Wertheim’s daughter, Lotte Wertheim (1904-1990), and remained in the family until its acquisition by the present owner. It was considered by the family to be of Frankish Merovingian origin, circa 5th-6th century C.E., but is now acknowledged to be a Hellenistic example. $1,500-2,500

the collection of georges perrier lots 18-116

G

eorges Perrier’s famous Philadelphia restaurant, Le Bec-Fin, open from 1970 until 2013, was internationally known as America’s finest French restaurant, earning five stars for decades. The gathering place for those who appreciated extraordinary cuisine in a luxurious setting, Le Bec-Fin was a jewel in America’s culinary crown; the exquisite galettes de crabe and quenelles de brochet were a public manifestation of Perrier’s sumptuous taste. What few knew, however, was that privately, Perrier had amassed an impressive collection of examples of the very best of the French decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The collection of Georges Perrier is what one would expect from an international arbiter of taste and luxury.

Works by Lacroix, Dubois, Nogaret, Leleu, Nadal dit l’Aîné, Kemp and Tuart are highlights of the Perrier

collection, which also includes works by the Manufacture de Vincennes and Sèvres, fine examples of ormolu from the Régence through Louis XVI periods, as well as French portraiture of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Born in 1943 in Lyon, France, Perrier began his culinary career at 14. He apprenticed under Michel Lorrain in Lyon, Jacques Picard in Provence, and Guy Thivard at Ferdinand Point’s legendary “La Pyramide” in Vienne. In addition to his many cooking accolades, he was awarded the French Légion d’Honneur in 2009, the highest civilian merit award conferred by the French government. His love for France, and his constant drive to reach for the heights of fine dining and living helped form an eye as refined as his palate. Freeman’s is proud to offer the Perrier collection.

39 171270/37 A pair of Régence ormolu dragon-form two-light appliques circa 1720 The backplates each in the form of a dragon with splayed wings issuing two scrolling foliate candlearms, one applied with lizard; the nozzles replaced. (2).

H: 17, W: 10 1/2, D: 9 in. provenance: Le Louvre des Antiquaires.

The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: The form of these appliques is highly characteristic of the dramatic French Régence period during the first years of Louis XV’s reign. As exotic and naturalistic motifs began to supplant more architectural Baroque styles, fantastical beasts like dragons and serpents, which suggested both medieval romance and Oriental mystique, began to appear particularly on such objects as chenets, sconces, and chandeliers intended to be used with fire.

The present pair of appliques, in the form of muscularly modeled and defensive dragons, is distinctly related to a pair of chenets sold Christie’s, New York, 9 October 2013, lot 646, and to another pair sold Marc-Arthur Kohn, Paris, 13 April 2012, lot 63.

Further dragons of this form can be found on a carved giltwood console table dated 1710-20 in the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, inventory number 26546, and on a pair of ormolu mounts for chenets dated 1720-30, also in the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, inventory numbers 2009.88.1.1 and 2009.88.1.2. $2,000-4,000

38 171270/25 A Louis XIV carved giltwood mirror circa 1700 The cornice and frame possibly associated, surmounted by vicomte’s coronet above a monogram “PP” suspended in an elaborate pierced foliate and strapwork cornice supported by two dragon-form corbels, the rectangular frame heavily modeled with applied flowers and rocailles housing a beveled glass mirror plate likely 19th century.

40 171270/66 A fine Régence ormolu-mounted parquetry kingwood and amaranth bracket clock etienne roquelon (french, maître 1718), circa 1730-40 Of typical form, the white segmented enamel dial with blue numerals housed in a parquetry case surmounted by a putto with eternal flame, the case further mounted with ormolu appliques and gryphon sabots; the brass backplate signed ‘Roquelon A Paris’, the eight-day movement with silk suspension, verge escapement, and chime at the hour and half hour with dial lever for resetting the chimes; the conforming bracket similarly decorated with central eagleform ormolu applique, the corners mounted with masques de comédie. (2).

H: 41, W: 16, D: 9 3/4 in. (incl. bracket) provenance: La Cour des Mirascles en Bourgogne, Marcigny, France, 1992.

The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: This very fine clock is accompanied by an extensive “Fiche Technique” written by Maurice C. L. Pallot, founder of La Cour des Mirascles en Bourgogne and one of the world’s foremost experts and restorers of 17th and 18th century furniture and interiors. His analysis notes the rarity of this parquetry example from the late Régence period—in comparison to the typical horn and boulle marquetry examples seen more regularly on the market—and the quality of the individual elements—parquetry, ormolu, enamel, and movement—which, taken together, reveal a clock of exceptional refinement.

Of particular interest is the pair of ormolu masques de comédie on the bracket, which are an identical form to a pair of corner mounts on a Régence bombé commode by Etienne Doirat (French, 1675-1732), circa 1725-1730, now in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, object number 72.DA.66. Known to have maintained strict possession of the entire production process of his bronze mounts, including the moulds and any unused and unfinished mounts, Pallot suggests that the clock case and bracket may have, in fact, been constructed by Doirat’s workshop at the Cour de la Contrescarpe des Fosses de la Bastille in Paris. This is further confirmed by Jean-Dominique Augarde’s book, Les Ouvriers du Temps (Geneva: Antiquorum Editions, 1996), which includes several similar models of clock cases produced by Doirat. It is likely that Rouquelon also entrusted the enamel work to another highly skilled craftsman: the very elegant dial, with its double ring of blue numerals against a white face assembled from twenty-five individual pieces, lends credence to the supposition that the dial was executed by Siméon de Ville, l’Emailleur du Roi, who was also Roquelon’s brother-in-law. $3,000-5,000

H: 31, W: 37 1/4, D: 19 1/2 in. provenance: The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: This fantastic form, with its dramatic romantic style and unusual construction, underscores its South German origin, likely Munich. It calls to mind other exuberantly gilded and polychromed pieces by François de Cuvilliés ”the Elder” (1695-1768), the Belgian-born Bavarian furnishings designer and architect. Cuvilliés was the first major proponent of the Rococo style at the Wittelsbach court in Munich, and his most famous work remains the magnificent hall of mirrors at Amalienburg. $3,000-5,000

49 171270/93 A Louis XV ormolu-mounted tulipwood and kingwood parquetry commode probably gaspard coulon (french, circa 1690-1775), circa 1740 The serpentine Eretria red marble top above bombé case with three short over two long banded drawers, all lined in pink and ivory silk brocade, the whole raised on four French feet; stamped “COULON.” H: 34 1/2, W: 54 3/4, D: 22 1/2 in. provenance: The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: This commode is of solid, weighty construction and bears a strong resemblance to another commode stamped “COULON” sold Christie’s New York, 24 May 2001, lot 64, as well as to a third example published in Pierre Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIII Siècle (1989), page 191, figure A. Gaspard Coulon (maître 1739) was from a family of Parisian ébénistes, which included his brother, Jean Coulon (French, 1686-1734); his nephew, Balthazar Coulon (French, 17101790); and his son, Jean-François Coulon. Balthazar Coulon would become the best-known of the family through his close relationship with Gilles Joubert (French, 1689-1775) who was ébéniste ordinaire du Garde-Meuble and then Ébéniste de la Couronne under Louis XV. Balthazar executed a number of Joubert’s commissions from the King, which then entered the royal household. The stamp “COULON” was most often used by Gaspard Coulon, although Balthazar was known to have also used the same stamp in addition to his more rare stamp, “B. COULON.” $4,000-6,000

50 171270/52 A fine Louis XV ormolu-mounted fruitwood floral marquetry kingwood bureau dos d’âne jean-baptiste tuart (french, 1700-1767), circa 1760 The banded and floral marquetry fall front opening to reveal a finely fitted interior with an upper shelf above a pigeonhole flanked by four drawers over a secret compartment and a red gilt-tooled writing surface; the case with two additional short drawers over a single long drawer, all fitted with compartments, the front, sides, and verso all further marquetry decorated; the whole raised on four cabriole legs terminating in sabots and stamped to underside “J*TUART.” H: 38, W: 45, D: 18 1/2 in. provenance: Atelier Yvan Sarret, Aix le Bains, France, 1997.

The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: Jean-Baptiste Tuart père (maître 1741) had his workshop in the heart of Paris, in the cloister of SaintGermain-l’Auxerrois off Place du Louvre. This location, situated between the Palais-Royal and Palais des Tuileries, provided close access to the royal family when in Paris, and as such Tuart received numerous commissions for the Menus-Plaisirs du Roi. His more genteel, restrained expression of the Rococo style is characterized by satisfying proportions and pristine marquetry imbued with pastoral serenity.

Works by Jean-Baptiste Tuart père are today quite rare, though there are additional transitional and Louis XVI examples produced or retailed by his son, Jean-Baptiste II Tuart, who apprenticed with his father through about 1743 and was later named a maître tabletier et marchand-mercier with a fashionable establishment on rue Saint-Honoré.

Like other Tuart examples, this desk is fully decorated with fine marquetry on all four sides and meant to be appreciated in the round. A very similar desk, but without the lower case of drawers, is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 26.168.74. A prie-dieu-secrétaire of similar proportion and marquetry is in the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, inventory number 38659. $4,000-6,000

Galerie Libraririe Michel Descours, November 1995.

The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: Lange de Bourbon (French, active 1750-1775) was a noted maker of clocks and barometers of the mid-18th century, awarded the title of Machiniste-Faiseur de Baromètre du Roi before 1757, though relatively few details of his life are known. The form of this barometer, attributed to ClaudeJoseph Desgodets, exists in a number of examples by important makers, including one by Jean-Andre Lepaute, sold Christie’s London, 6 July 2005, lot 123.

A nearly identical model, also signed Lange de Bourbon on the enamel thermometer scale, can be found in the The Jack and Belle Linsky Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1982.60.2. This example was acquired by the Linskys in the March 1931 sale of the collection of Baron Erich von Goldschmidt-Rothschild at Hermann Ball & Paul Graupe, Berlin, lot 180. It is noted that another similar barometer also by Lange de Bourbon was in the collection of Mme. Louis Burat, sold at Galerie Charpentier in Paris on June 18, 1937, lot 98.

Other examples of different forms also signed by Lange de Bourbon can be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 58.75.61; the Musée Nissim de Camondo, Paris; and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, accession number 1097-1882.

The present lot was in the collection of Monsieur Dubois Chefdebien sold at Hôtel Drouout, Paris, on Thursday, February 13, 1941, lot 82. It is illustrated in plate 32 of the catalogue and was described at that time as a “Baromètrethermomètre en bois de placage et bronze doré, du temps de Louis XV. De forme contournée, il est marqueté en veuilles et présente une important décoration en bronze ciselé et doré : rinceaux feuillagés, écusson, branchages avec fleurs et graines.

provenance: The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: The Goyer family were, as J.-D. Augarde noted, “a dynasty of artisans well-known in the XVIII century.” François Goyer, who received his maîtrise in 1740, and his son, Jean Goyer, who received his own in 1760, were at the center of luxury furniture production in Paris during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI. The Goyers, both père et fils, have an important place not only in the history of the design of French furniture of the eighteenth century, but also for their unusual role in the development of the furniture corporations which controlled furniture production in Paris.

François Goyer is recorded as having worked exclusively as a “fabricant de batîs de pendules, de cartels, et d’horloges,” applying the skills of the master cabinetmaker to to the housings of luxury timepieces, while his son, Jean, apprenticed not only with his father to learn the art of cabinet-making, but also with the famed fondeurciseleur Jean-Joseph Saint-Germain (French, 1719-1791). By working as an apprentice in both furniture-making and in bronze casting and gilding, the young Goyer shattered elementary rules and laws of apprenticeship and business practice in eighteenth century France.

A document held at the National Archives in Paris, and mentioned by Augarde, reports a legal conflict between François Goyer and ClaudeJoseph Desgodets (who ultimately won the suit) after accusing Goyer of having bought a clock, creating a case , manufacturing and applying the bronzes himself, and then selling the work directly to a client in direct contradiction of corporation law. We also understand that Jean Goyer had a watchmaking workshop (evidence exists of the sale of the workshop to his son, Jean), indicating that he also manufactured his own clocks.

Augarde notes the existence of two clocks with the signature of Goyer and dating from the mid-eighteenth century; one of them, a cartel clock entirely in bronze (sold Sotheby’s, Monaco, 14 and 15 June, 1981, lot 201), and the other sold Christie’s, New York, 13 June, 1985, lot 22.

These two objects support the theory that the Goyers took enormous (and, clearly, actionable) liberties in the observance of the corporative rules then in force, likely manufacturing complete objects without authorization or permits.

While cases signed by François Goyer are comparatively rare, the exquisite quality of both the construction and the ormolu mounts of the offered indicate that this work may be a work entirely constructed

by Goyer. It evidences a high level of quality as well as an elegant restraint in its design, that clearly places it at the apex of the career of François Goyer, circa 1750.

Other notable examples of the work of Goyer have been sold Hotel Drouot, Paris, 1948 (Nicolay, rep. “F. Goyer”, Fig. A.); Christie’s, New York, 19 October, 2007, lot 267; Piasa, Paris, 29 June, 2012, lot 185; and Artcurial, Paris, 20 April , 2016, lot 86. literature: Augarde, J.-D., éd.,Les Ouvriers du temps, Genève: Antiquorum, 1996.

The offered lot may now be counted together with a similar spinning wheel in the Louvre, another at Waddesdon Manor (cf Sir Geoffrey de Bellaigue, The James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, vol. II, London, 1974, pp. 840-42), and one offered Sotheby’s (cf. “Treasures from the Prestigious Qizilbash Collection,” 28 November 2016, lot 6).

Pietro Piffetti (Italian, 1701-1777), the ébéniste to the Royal court of Turin, produced a model in ivory and tortoiseshell around 1740, which is now at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (inv. no. W.159.1-7-1921, fig. 4). The V&A also has in its collection a vernis martin spinning wheel made in Paris at the same time as the offered lot (inv. no. 4475:1-1858, fig. 5).

This rouet de salon features an exquisite and possibly unique Vincennes porcelain plaque of exceptional quality. The ormolu hardware is virtually identical to that of the model from the Qizilbash Collection, attributed to Neapolitan manufacture. $3,000-5,000

71 171270/26 A fine Louis XVI ormolu-mounted mahogany mechanical coiffeuse jean-françois leleu (french, 1729-1807), circa 1775 The circular sliding top enclosing a hidden compartment housing a hinged mirror, a cubby hole, and three secret drawers, raised on a fluted baluster pedestal above four outswept feet applied with fine ormolu strapwork; stamped “J*F*LELEU” and with JME stamp.

H: 29 1/2, Dia: 20 3/8 in. provenance: The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: Jean-François Leleu (French, 1729-1807), a noted ébéniste, was known, even among his contemporaries, as distinguished for his “charming and graceful works, marked by their finesse...” (Jean Nicolay, L’Art et la manière des maîtres ébénistes français au XVIIIe siècle [Paris: Pygmalion, 1982], p. 274).

Leleu apprenticed with Jean-François Oeben (German/French, 1721-1763), and after his master’s death took the workshop’s lead and earned his maîtrise in 1764. Leleu’s clients included both the Prince de Condé and Madame du Barry.

The offered lot is perhaps exceptional within the master’s oeuvres, because metamorphic examples by Leleu are rare. A small scale homage to works by David Roentgen and Leleu’s own master, Oeben, what appears to be a fine candlestand, by the use of two discreet hooks, is converted into a small poudreuse with mirror, and several secret compartments. $2,000-3,000

72 171270/12 A fine Louis XVI ormolu-mounted rosewood table en cabaret roger vandercruse, dit lacroix (french, 1727-1799), circa 1780-85 The Sarrancolin marble top with ormolu-banded edge over a single side drawer; raised on four fluted tapering legs terminating in ormolu toupie feet; stamped to underside “R. LACROIX” and with JME stamp.

H: 28, W: 27 3/4, D: 19 5/8 in. provenance: Galerie Guy Bellou, Paris, January 1994.

The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: Roger Vandercruse, dit Lacroix, (maître 1755) came from a family of Parisian cabinet-makers of Flemish origin wellestablished in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Using the French transliteration of his Flemish name, he variously used the marks “R.V.L.C.” and “R. LACROIX” to mark his furniture.

Lacroix enjoyed ready access to the court and to major colllectors of fine furniture. In 1749, Lacroix’s sister, FrançoiseMarguerite Vandercruse, married the celebrated ébéniste Jean-François Oeben (German/French, 1721-1763) and then, following his death, she married the ébéniste Jean-Henri Riesener (German/French, 1734-1806), royal cabinet-maker to Louis XVI. The offered lot carries all the characteristics of Lacroix’s singular style, and while the table exhibits a quiet retraint, the form bears similarities to an example in the Musée Nissim de Camondo, Paris, accession number CAM 128. $3,000-5,000

73 171270/40 A pair of Louis XVI white-painted fauteuils en cabriolet attributed to georges jacob (french, 1739-1814), circa 1780 With round channel-moulded backrest issuing straight scrolled arms with manchettes above serpentine U-form seat, the conforming seatrail above four patera-headed fluted tapering legs on toupie feet; each stamped “P” to underside of seatrail and to interior corner of rear leg with anchor surmounted by crown or fleur-de-lys, possibly for Château de Chanteloup; now upholstered in eau-de-nil silk velvet with cording in period taste. (2).

H: 36, W: 24 1/2, D: 21 1/2 in. provenance: Possibly Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthièvre (17251793) at the Château de Chanteloup.

The collection of Georges Perrier, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: These elegant fauteuils en cabriolet bear all the hallmarks of the master Georges Jacob (maître 1765). An identical pair with grey painted decoration and parcel gilding signed “G. Iacob” were sold Sotheby’s, New York, 22 October, 2005, lot 71.

It is well known that Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthièvre (French, 1725-1793) commissioned a number of works from Jacob for the Château de Chanteloup, and it has been suggested these chairs may have been part of these orders. The offered lot may be en suite to a sidechair offered by Artcurial, Paris, 20 June 2012, lot 478. That chair was also attributed to Georges Jacob with the provenance of the Château de Chanteloup, and the Duc de Penthièvre.

Another comparable pair of chairs stamped Georges Jacob and with the château marks for the Château de Chanteloup was sold Hotel Drouot, Paris, 4 April, 2001, lot 84. That pair was, however, a more restrained model (see the exhibition catalogue, “Chanteloup, un moment de grâce autour du duc de Choiseul”, Musées des Beaux Arts de Tours, April 7-July 8, 2007).

The offered pair recalls the works of Louis Delanois (French, 17311792), one of the first menuisiers to adopt the neoclassical “goût Grec,” and under whom Georges Jacob served his apprenticeship. $2,000-3,000

note: This lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity by Jean Rey, Chambre Nationale des Experts Specialises, conducted on November 15, 2000. The exceptional quality of both its construction and finishing indicate that it was certainly produced by an accomplished and well-trained ébéniste. This document confirms it is of the Louis XVI/Directoire period, and notes that it is a “Parisian work, to be compared with similar works by Weisweiler.” $3,000-5,000

(2).

H: 1 5/8, W: 1 3/8 in. (ea.) provenance: The collection of D. Virginia Armentrout (nee Roosevelt), Ambler, Pennsylvania.

Sold in these rooms, September 27, 2006, lot 442.

Private collection, Philadelphia. note: Concino Concini was a Florentine nobleman who emigrated to France with the retinue of Marie de Medici upon her marriage to King Henri IV of France in 1600. In France he met and married Léonora Dori, called “Galigaï,” a lady-in-waiting to the Queen who was also of Florentine origin. The Queen considered Galigaï a practitioner of “white magic” and bestowed upon her great favors because of her supposed powers against curses, spells, and black magic—a reputation which probably arose from an illness (possibly epilepsy) which caused Galigaï to suffer from fits and spasms.

Together with their political acumen and royal favor, Concino and Léonora amassed a great fortune with which he purchased the marquisate of Ancre and then, later, the titles of Baron of Lésigny, Count of Penna, and governor of Péronne, Roye, and Montdidier, before being appointed Marshal of France in 1613.

Concini’s wealth, private armies, and influence with Cardinal Richelieu engendered great antipathy among the rest of the French nobility, most notably Henry II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, a powerful member of the extended royal family. By 1617 this deep resentment had shifted political tides, and the young King Louis XIII, who had just emerged from the Regency of his mother Queen Marie, was convinced to engage in a murder plot against Concini. After his death, Galigaï was arrested and imprisoned for lèse-majesté for her practice of “witchcraft.”

She was decapitated and then burned at the stake.

Beneath the portrait of Léonora Galigaï is an inscription on paper which reads: “C’était, dit Tallemant des Réaux, une petite personne fort maigre et fort brune. Jusqu’elle aux les traits du visage beau elle était laide à cause de sa grande maigreur.” This inscription quotes the writer Gédéon Tallemant des Réaux (French, 1619-1692), and speaks to her eerie appearance, which clearly reinforced her reputation as a witch. She is described as a very small, dark haired person who, despite a beautiful face, was rendered hideous because of her excessive thinness. $1,000-1,500

H: 95, W: 95 in. (approx.) provenance: Property of a Main Line lady. note: This suite, comprising an armoire, bedframe, and two nightstands, is designed after the commode created by Jean-Henri Riesener (German/French, 1734-1806), the fournisseur du Garde-Meuble de la Couronne, for the bedroom of Louis XVI at Versailles. It was commissioned by the King in September 1774 and delivered to Versailles by Riesener in November 1775, where it remained until the Revolution of 1789.

After the Revolution and deposition of King Louis Philippe in 1848, the commode was included in the 1857 sale of Louis Philippe’s property, where it was purchased by his son, Henri d’Orléans, Duc d’Aumale (French, 1822-1897). Though he was exiled to London following the 1848 Revolution, the Duc remained committed to building a collection of great French works to install in his home at the Château de Chantilly, and the Riesener commode was foremost among these objects. Upon his return to France in 1871, the commode was installed in his bedroom, la Chambre de M. Le Prince, where it is still on display today.

In the late 19th century, a number of ébénistes produced fine copies of this opulent model. The present lot is one such example which expanded the design into an entire suite of bedroom furniture. The suite is illustrated together in the catalogue by the bronzier Jean Rabiant, Meubles de Style dans les Musée: Bronzes de la collection Jean Rabiant, Paris (circa 1930), pages 3 and 4, advertising his copies, with exceptionally well executed mounts, after famous models of the Ancien Régime. $4,000-6,000

the collection of joseph & geraldine ostrov lots 251-276

T

he collection of Joseph and Geraldine Ostrov comprises a handsome and refined selection of Georgian and Regency furniture and decorative arts, acquired from the finest English antiques dealers in New York from the late 1960s through the early 1990s.

Recognized as generous hosts and philanthropists, the Ostrovs enjoyed entertaining at their bucolic Colonial style home in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Joseph was a prominent businessman, the founder and President of Liquor Fair, Inc. and Vice President of Americare Nursing Facilities, Inc. He was also an acclaimed sommelier and wine lecturer, admitted as a Champignon de Bordeaux by the Grand Conseil de Bordeaux and several other international wine societies. Geraldine, known to friends and family as Gerri, was an accomplished vocalist and musician. She studied opera at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, which led to a career in radio, television, and entertainment. She was also a member of the West Jersey Hospital Board of Trustees and Foundation Board.

Gerri had the privilege of performing at the Inauguration of President John F. Kennedy on January 20, 1961, and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s subsequent restoration of the White House served as a source of inspiration for Gerri, who, alongside her decorators Robert Windsor and Robert Knipe of Windsor & Knipe Interiors, sought to recreate its elegant Georgian interiors in her own home. Together they designed a grand Adamesque living room and Regency style dining room which frequently served as a venue for important social gatherings and charity events. Their many guests included United States senators and congressmen, and members of the New York City Opera, the Bolshoi Ballet, and the Kirov (now the Mariinsky) Ballet.

the meinig family collection lots 385-392

W

hen the Meinig family engaged celebrated interior designer Stephen Sills to decorate one of their residences,

Sills looked for inspiration to a favorite source: the designer Elsie de Wolfe (1859-1950).

Designer de Wolfe, also known as Lady Mendl, was among the first celebrated American interior decorators, credited as the author of the highly influential 1913 book The House in Good Taste, and a well-known figure on the international social circuit.

Known for her love of white-painted furniture, her soft palette of whites, biscuits, and cream combined with her restrained use of antiques and mirrored pieces, de Wolfe brought light and the cool air of Classicism into the darkened Victorian homes of America’s elite.

Sills executed a fresh and architectural scheme for his clients, and Freeman’s is pleased to offer these sensational pieces from the Meinig Collection, which includes an 18th century French whitepainted salon suite, a group of seating furniture after designs by de Wolfe, and a sharp and stylish group of steel furnishings.

H: 29 1/4 in. provenance: Hans Friedrich Graf, Count von Pocci and Baronne Herta Freiin von Haller, Pocci-Schloß, Ammerland, Germany.

Thence by descent.

Private collection, Virginia. note: Louis-Ernest Barrias (French, 1841-1905) first exhibited a version of this sculpture at the Paris Salon of 1893.

Commissioned in 1889 by the faculté de Médecine de Bordeaux, this original version was sculpted in white marble and depicted an entirely nude figure. In 1899 Barrias introduced a polychrome marble version, commissioned by the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, modeled as the partially clad allegorical figure of nature lifting her veil to reveal herself to science. This second version was met with wide acclaim, and is today in the collection of the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

Bronze casts of the sculpture by Susse Frères were exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in 1900 and would go on to win the grand prix at the Universal Exhibition in Liège in 1905, where the bronzier Théodore Millet lauded them as “the finest of the works exhibited.”

The present lot descends from the prominent cultural family of Franz Graf, Count von Pocci (Bavarian, 18071876), who held the position of master of ceremonies under King Ludwig I (r. 1825-1848), court music director under King Maximilian II (r. 1848-1864) and Oberstkammerer under King Ludwig II (r. 1864-1886). A formally trained artist, poet, and musician, his greatest legacies are his founding of the Munich Marionette Theatre and his many celebrated works of children’s literature.

Their family home, the noted Pocci-Schloß in Ammerland, served as a summer residence and cultural retreat during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The bronze was likely acquired by Hans Friedrich Graf, Count von Pocci (German, 1902-1970), through his wife, the French Baronne Herta Freiin von Haller. It then passed to their daughter, Marion Anna Pamela Sophie Grafin von Pocci (b. 1936), who emigrated to the United States in 1955. It has remained in her family by descent. $8,000-12,000

T

he Lucas family of Baltimore had a long and storied history as collectors of fine and decorative art that lasted for generations. Four members of the family actively acquired works from

the early nineteenth century until the early twentieth. While important works from the family collections were donated to the Baltimore Museum of Art, an intimate and diverse group was retained by the Lucas family and ultimately passed in its entirety into the hands of a Maryland family that has kept the collection intact since 1947.

Fielding Lucas (1781-1854) was a cartographer and a publisher of note in Baltimore in the early part of the 19th century. The first of his atlases was published in 1815-1817, and his success as businessman in Baltimore enabled him to begin collecting, notably paintings and works on paper.

His seventh son, George A. Lucas (1824-1909) attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, and began work as an engineer though his passion was always art – and by 1853, he had moved to New York where he began to acquire works for his friends in Baltimore. By 1857, he had moved to Paris and began collecting and advising in earnest, establishing an international reputation and close relationships with some of the most famous artists of the day. Lucas was instrumental in advising William T. Walters in many of his most important acquisitions. Art was the family passion, and his niece and nephews also added works to the collection.

Gentlemen Collectors: The Lucas Family of Baltimore reflects the varied interests and collecting tastes of the 19th century American gentleman of breeding, education, and means. Paintings

by Jarvis and Merle, art bronzes by Bonheur, Barye, and Fremiet, works from Delft, and Meissen, Asian works of art, a fine collection of clocks both figural and scientific, exuberant empire revival furnishings, and a collection of silver from Baltimore-based makers S. Kirk & Son are highlights of the collection. Filled with works rich and handsome, this collection, with its impeccable provenance, is destined to appeal to both seasoned and new collectors.

note: Painted circa 1849, this portrait had at one time been attributed to John Wesley Jarvis (1780-1840). However, amongst correspondence in the Kaufman family archives, a letter was discovered from Miss Adeline Pepper which reads: “I wish I could claim that I discovered this was a portrait by Conarroe, but the discovery was made some years ago through the finding of an old-time advertisement in the Baltimore American of 1849 that the portrait was on view in his studio in Baltimore in that year… now the attribution seems definitely Conarroe.” $1,000-1,500

Kaufman, 1943 Thence by descent to the present owner note: The Lorelei, a German water spirit or siren, lures sailors to their deaths with her voice in the manner of the classical sirens of Homer’s The Odyssey. In 1824, “Die Lorelei” by Heinrich Heine became enormously popular in Germany, and was ultimately set to music by Friedrich Silcher in 1837, by Clara Schumann in 1843, and by Franz Liszt in 1856.

Neoclassical sculptor Ludwig Schwanthaler (1802-1848) was the uncle of Meissen modeler Rudolf Schwanthaler. He studied at the Academy in Munich, and worked in Rome after 1835. His main work was in Bavaria, but at his nephew’s urging, the Meissen factory acquired his two models of “Lorelei” and “Omphale” which were put into production under Kuehn in the mid-19th century. An identical model is illustrated in Koniglich Sachsische Porzellanmanufaktur Meissen 1710-1910, (Dresden: 1910), Table 29, illustration 1. $600-800

note: The story of the Calydonian boar hunt is one of the great stories of antiquity, and told most famously in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. When the Calydonian King Oenus failed to honor the goddess Diana with sacred offerings, she released a monstrous boar into his lands. The boar was ultimately defeated by the king’s son, Prince Meleager, who offered its head as a trophy to his beloved, the huntress Atalanta.

Meissen addressed this theme in a series of figural groups.

Other pieces from this series and with identical “A66” marks are illustrated in Laurence Mitchell, Meissen: Collector’s Catalogue (Woodbridge, Suffolk: Antique Collectors’ Club, 2004) p. 127, pl.

484 181012/54 A large Meissen porcelain figural group the triumph of amphitrite, 1815-1860 After the 1772-1774 model by Johann Joachim Kändler (German, 1706-1775), depicting the wife of Poseidon and goddess of the sea, Amphitrite, borne aloft on the waves by surrounding naiads, sea creatures, and putti, on a shaped base modeled with shells and nautical reliefs.

H: 19, W: 21 in. (approx.) provenance: The Lucas family Collections, Baltimore Thence by descent to Bertha Lucas (died 1943) Bequeathed by Bertha Lucas to the manager of Lucas Brothers, Jesse G. Kaufman, 1943 Thence by descent to the present owner note: The Triumph of Amphitrite The Triumph of Amphitrite was originally modeled and executed between 1772-1774 by Joachim Kändler as an order for the Russian Empress Catherine II Alexeievna “the Great” (reigned 1762-1796).

Kändler executed the first drawing for the “Amphitrite” group in November of 1772, and he began the model in December, completing it in January of 1773. The original group featured over 40 allegorical pieces glorifying the Empress, and was delivered to the Winter Palace in 1745. It was Kändler’s last great commission. Another example of this model is illustrated in Koniglich Sachsische Porzellanmanufakture Meissen, 1710-1910, Meissen: 1910, fig. 145, p. 63.

The model remained highly desireable and was reissued in limited quantities throughout the 19th century. The offered lot was likely acquired by George A. Lucas in Paris between 1857-1909.

Johann Joachim Kändler Johann Joachim Kändler (German, 1706-1775) is the most important modeler to have worked for the Meissen porcelain manufactory. Born near Arnsdorf, Kändler’s professional life began as an apprentice to the Dresden court sculptor Johann Benjamin Thomae (1682–1751). Kändler exhibited great talent, and by 1731 at the age of 25, he was appointed court sculptor

by Augustus II and installed as a modeler at the Meissen porcelain manufactory.

He first served as assistant to Johann Jakob Kirchner, and succeeded him as “modelmaster” in 1733 after Kirchner resigned. He reached the apex of his career with his 1749 appointment to the post of Court Commissioner. His great achievements include the famous “Swan Service” and his expressive and coveted figural groups of which the offered lot is a fine example. $10,000-15,000

520 A fine French silver and silver-gilt pitcher in the Louis XV taste frédéric boucheron, paris, last quarter 19th century The baluster body very finely cast and etched with pastoral scenes of frères jouant beneath undulant spout enhanced by a cartouche of imbricated rocailles, watersplashes, and reeds, and mounted with foliate-cast scrolled handle; with gilt-washed interior enclosed by domed cover surmounted by elaborate finial in the form of flowering branches; the base etched with waves and rocailles, the underside engraved “Fic. Boucheron/Paris.”

H: 7 1/2 in. Weight: 15.3 oz. t. provenance: Likely acquired directly from Frédéric Boucheron, Paris, 1883 George A. Lucas The Lucas family Collections, Baltimore Thence by descent to Bertha Lucas (died 1943) Bequeathed by Bertha Lucas to the manager of Lucas Brothers, Jesse G. Kaufman, 1943 Thence by descent to the present owner note: George A. Lucas made regular note in his diary of his frequent business with Frédéric Boucheron beginning in September 1867, when the House of Boucheron first rose to prominence following its Medaille d’Or at the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris. In addition to his visits to the Boucheron atelier, where he commissioned custom jewelry, porcelain mounts, and silver for both himself and his many important clients, Lucas also recorded social encounters with the Boucheron family around Paris and personal visits from Frédéric Boucheron to his home, including Tuesday, October 24, 1876 when Lucas was bedridden with rheumatism and received a call from Boucheron along with several other friends. In all, his diary makes nearly 100 references to Boucheron from 1867 through June 1898.

This exquisite pitcher may have been executed in 1883

by Frédéric Boucheron as a custom commission for George Lucas. It is likely that the present lot is the pitcher mentioned by Lucas on February 28, 1883—”Boucheron called about pitcher”—and again on March 3, 1883: “At Boucherons & Saw pitcher” (The Diary of George A. Lucas: An American Art Agent in Paris, 1857-1909, Volume 2, page 559). Though it is not described in detail—indeed all of Lucas’ diary entries are brief and largely written in abbreviations—these entries do stand out, as Lucas commonly only recorded people and places, making little mention of specific objects at all. $1,500-2,500

Kaufman, 1943 Thence by descent to the present owner note: The offered lot is a reduction of the famous statue of St. Michael designed and executed by Frémiet for the top of the belltower of the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy in 1895. The enormous popularity of the sculpture resulted in numerous reductions, and the sculpture was ultimately also used as the top of the spire of the Église St. Michel de Batignolles in the Place St. Jean, 17th arrondissement, Paris, designed by architect Bernard Haubold.

The sculpture is pictured in a promotional monograph of an exhibition of works by Frémiet exhibited by Barbedienne, and it is likely that the piece was acquired by Lucas around 1895 in France.

In the diaries of Georges Lucas, he notes visiting Frémiet over two dozen times.

French sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet (1824-1910) is perhaps most famous today for his sculpture of Joan of Arc in Paris (copies exist in Lille, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and Portland) and the monument to Ferdinand de Lesseps in Suez. Named an Officer of the French Légion d’Honneur in 1878, he became a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1892, and succeeded Antoine-Louis Barye as professor of animal drawing at the Natural History Museum of Paris.

Copies and reductions of the sculpture of Saint-Michel are held in many public collections, including the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

From 1885 until 1890 he was a pupil of Antonin Mercié (French, 1845-1916) in Paris.

Adams completed over 200 public works of sculpture, and was considered a preeminent sculptor of his day. He taught at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Elected to the National Academy of Design in 1898, in 1906 he became vice-president of the institution. Adams later served as President of the NAD from 1917-1920.

Lucas, Jr. Thence by descent to Bertha Lucas (died 1943) Bequeathed by Bertha Lucas to the manager of Lucas Brothers, Jesse G. Kaufman, 1943 Thence by descent to the present owner note: Like George Lucas, Samuel Putnam Avery (1822–1904) was an American art dealer and connoisseur. A native New Yorker, he served as the commissioner in charge of the American art department of the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900. He was also a founder and trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through his largesse was founded the Avery Architectural Library at Columbia University, one of the nation’s premier architectural collections.

Lucas knew Avery well, and mentions him extensively throughout his diaries. The pair began working together in 1865 and is first referenced in Lucas’ diary on November 10 of that year: “Mailed letters to Huntington, F. Frick, Walter’s & Avery about prices of pictures...” (The Diary of George A. Lucas: An American Art Agent in Paris, 1857-1909, Volume 2, page 206).

In 1912 Avery Hall, in memory of father and son, was erected on the Columbia campus. Its first floor houses the Avery Library, now rated the richest collection in the country of works on architecture and the applied arts. $200-400

note: In his diary for 20 December, 1895, Lucas wrote: “To see Merle about Walters commission...” referring to Merle’s work, “The Scarlet Letter.” The final painting, commissioned by William Walters directly from Merle, is now at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore (acc. no. 37.152). The work depicts Nathaniel Hawthorne’s heroine Hester Prynne and her illegitimate daughter Pearl, in a pose recalling Renaissance models of the Madonna and Child. Hawthorne himself regarded the image as the best visual representation of his novel. It is likely that Lucas either bought this reduction for himself, or was, perhaps, given this study by Merle in gratitude. exhibited: “A Baltimorean in Paris: George A.

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.

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.

important information for buyers Registration All potential buyers must register for the sale prior to placing a bid. Registration information may be submitted in person at our reception desk, by fax or through our website at www. freemansauction.com. We will require proof of identification and residence and may require a credit card and/or a bank reference.

By registering for the sale, the buyer acknowledges that he or she has read, understood and accepted Freeman’s Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Buyer’s Premium 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.

Sales Tax All items in the catalogue are subject to the 8% Pennsylvania and Philadelphia sales tax. Dealers purchasing for resale must register their tax numbers on current PA forms. Forms should be submitted to our Client Services office on the second floor.

Catalogue Descriptions All item descriptions, dimensions and estimates are provided for guidance only. It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect all lots prior to bidding to ensure that the condition is to their satisfaction. If potential buyers are unable to inspect lots in person, our specialists will be happy to prepare detailed Condition Reports on individual lots as quickly as possible. These are for guidance only, and all lots will be sold “as is” as per our Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Bidding At the sale Registered bidders will be assigned a bidder number and given a paddle for use at the 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.

On the internet A fully-illustrated catalogue is available on-line at www.freemansauction.com. Registered bidders may leave absentee bids through the website and will receive email confirmation of their bid. Freeman’s is not responsible for errors or failure to execute bids.

Payment Payment is due within ten (10) working days of the sale. Lots purchased will not be released until we have received full payment. Payment may be made in cash, by check, money order, or debit card. Payments by check must clear the bank before goods will be released.

Removal of Purchases Deliveries will not be made during the time of the sale unless otherwise indicated by the auctioneer. All items must be paid for and removed within ten (10) working days of the sale. Purchases not so removed may be turned over to a licensed warehouse at the expense and risk of the purchaser.

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us.

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.
