It all began with inks... One day in the mid-1970s, Jane bought her first ink bottle -- a rather common aqua umbrella, costing less than ten dollars -- and announced that she might start collecting ink bottles. This soon led to more than a hundred ink bottles and ink wells. during this period, we visited an auction exclusively for bottles, where we met the legendary inks collector William Covill. In 1979, Jane sold most of her inks collection and began buying period American furniture and decorative arts. In April of that year, she began her long relationship with Garth’s through her first auction catalog subscription. during the first decade of collecting, she was mentored by the late Adelaide Briggs, a long time and well respected Cleveland dealer. She also became friends with the late Gary Ludlow, who had left the corporate world to start an antiques business. Her dealings with Adelaide and Gary grew over the years and it should be noted that several items in this auction came from them. Ever the scholars, Jane and I joined the Western reserve Historical Society where Jane became active with the Women’s Advisory Board,
served as a trustee for a period of time, and helped put on the annual WrHS Antiques Show. By the late 1980’s, we had joined the American Furniture Collectors, where we had the opportunity to associate with others with similar collecting interests and to learn from the curators and scholars in the field. Much could be said about the many antiques shows that we attended -- from the most modest shows to Brimfield to the Connecticut Antiques Shows to the New York Winter Antiques Show, and everything in between! Our car compass was always pointed to the northeast where we traveled for most of our vacations. Along the way, we made many friends and expanded our reference library to include the definitive reference works and scholarly articles in a wide range of American furniture and decorative arts. Jane took great pride in the arrangement of the collections. She had a great eye for quality and proportion. With each purchase or trade, many items were often rearranged to accommodate the new addition. She was a stickler for detail and insisted that everything be “of the period.” This even
included the candles for the candlesticks and candle boxes. In furniture, our taste spanned from William & Mary to the Federal period. Jane became very well versed in silhouettes, lighting, and samplers. She spoke to local groups and we did “road shows” at the local historical societies. The professional side of Jane, as a licensed chemical dependency counselor and special education teacher, was always helping others. All of this came to a rapid close in 2010, when she was diagnosed with stage four esophageal cancer. While fighting the disease valiantly for six months, her interest in antiques never wavered. I can remember taking her to a house sale in the summer of 2010, where she collapsed in my arms. This offering of our collection is a tribute to Jane and her passion for antiques and the people who shared her passion. For those of you who knew her, you might just hear her distinctive laugh if you listen carefully. - Ed Martin

GARTH’S POLICY
GUARANTEE: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. continues to be committed to providing thorough descriptions that reflect our belief in service through honesty, integrity and attention to detail. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalogue description, with the exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. “Origin” is defined as the creator, period, culture, or source, as set forth in the first bold line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions – Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, Garth’s Auctions, Inc. does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Garth’s does not guarantee the authenticity of any item created before 1500. Regarding all jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. Regarding colored stones: purchasers are reminded that colored stones and diamonds may be enhanced by using one or more techniques, including but not limited to: clarity enhancements, resins, and heat treatment. Garth’s makes no warranty express or implied to the buyer as to whether a natural stone has been enhanced. Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold “as is”.
BUYING FOR OUR ACCOUNT: The owners and employees of Garth’s Auctions, Inc. never have, nor ever will buy any item at our auction for ourselves.
LIABILITY: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin of a lot for a period of twenty-one days from the date of the auction and only to the original purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser’s expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. and the purchaser, before Garth’s Auctions, Inc. determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee. The purchaser’s sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase price and premium paid by the purchaser. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen.
WITHDRAWN LOTS: Garth’s Auction, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of the property.
SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the auctioneer’s gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.
DISPUTED AND REJECTED BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to re-open the bidding on the disputed lot. The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item’s worth. We make every attempt, for the benefit of both seller and buyer, to create lots that reflect the quality of our cataloged merchandise. Therefore, any lot not receiving an opening bid of at least $50.00 will be passed.
ESTIMATES & RESERVES: Presale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of actual gavel price. Some of the items in this auction are subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Garth’s Auctions, Inc. The reserve will not be higher than the low estimate.
DEFINITIONS OF STATEMENTS: a) “Attributed to” – work is of the period of the named artist and may be the work of that artist, but not definitely so. b) “Circle of” – work of the period closely associated with the artist or from his studio. c) “School of” – work by a pupil or follower of the artist, in his style. d) “After” – in our opinion, a copy of the work of the artist. e) “Signed” – has a signature that in our opinion is the signature of the artist. f) “Bears signature” – has signature that in our opinion might be the signature of the artist.
