1 DECORATED CHEST OF DRAWERS. Marked for Jeremiah Stahl, Soap Hollow, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, dated 1864, poplar. Of typical form with three bowed drawers over four graduated drawers, scrolled backsplash, and resting on turned feet. Retains its original painted decoration including stenciled birds and flowers on a red ground, the side panels initialed “SL” and dated “1864”. Imperfections.

53 1/2”h. 40 1/2”w. 20 1/4”d.

For a similarly decorated example, see Muller, Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, p. 40. The present example appears to be the earliest dated piece of furniture signed by Stahl and may have, according to Muller, been made by Stahl while in partnership with Peter K. Thomas. The two men served together in the Civil War and this chest was made between their tours of duty, during which time, according to an affidavit by Stahl, they worked together (see Muller, p. 41). $4,000-$6,000

2 DECORATED BLANKET CHEST. Soap Hollow, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, dated 1871, pine. Dovetailed box resting on bracket feet.

Retains its original painted decoration, including stenciled flowers on a red ground. Initialed “JB” and dated “1871.” Imperfections. 21”h. 37 3/4”w. 19”d.

The present chest is nearly identical to the “DB/1872” chest illustrated in Muller, Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, p. 66. The wreath at center is similar to the wreaths used by Jeremiah Stahl (see Muller, p. 40), thus he is a good candidate for the maker. Given the similar form and decoration and the same second initial, it would seem possible that this chest and the chest in Muller are from the same family. $2,000-$4,000 2

2A PORTRAITS OF JOHN AND CAROLINE BROKAW BY ROBERT SEEVERS (OHIO, BORN 1807).

Pencil on paper, Caroline is signed on verso and dated August 15, 1831. Fine pair of profile portraits of the Brokaws, he has coiffured hair and she is wearing a tortoise shell hair comb.

Imperfections. 10”h. 8”w., in their original walnut frames, 12 3/4”h. 11”w.

John Brokaw was born in New Jersey and migrated to Ohio with his father in 1823. When his father died, he returned to New Jersey. In 1827 he married Caroline Bush and the couple set their sights on Ohio once again. They settled in or near Smithfield, Jefferson County, in 1831, presumably where these portraits were drawn. By mid century they had removed to Morrow County where they are listed in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses. Caroline died about 1885 and John died in 1893; they are buried in Mount Gilead.

See Kern, Warwick, et al, “Four Ohio Nineteenth-Century Folk Artists” in The Magazine Antiques, August 2007, pp. 90-97. $600-$900

Genealogical research has identified a couple Sarah Denisons, including a Sarah J. Denison, born in Ohio about 1830, who was, by the 1850s, living in Iowa. Denison was her married name, and she had a daughter also named Sarah. $250-$450 3-4

ONE-DRAWER WORK TABLE. Midwestern, mid 19th century, figured cherry, walnut and poplar. Two-board top over one drawer, resting on “bandy” legs. Minor imperfections. 29”h. 42”w. 24”d.

The appearance of cabriole or bandy legs on MidwesternGerman furniture is an outgrowth of the restrained neoclassicism found in Biedermeier furniture of Germany and Austria. Such furniture is typically found in Germanic communities from Ohio to Missouri, as well as beyond the Midwest—south to Texas, and north into Canada.

For two footstools with similar legs, see lots 19 and 22. $600-$900

12 PRESENTATION PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM. A Journey to Marietta, O. Via Pittsburgh, Pa., photographs by W.J. Kerstetter (June 1896) and presented to Sidney Lawrence on his 51st birthday, September 18, 1897, at Berea, Ohio. Includes thirtytwo albumen photographs mounted in an album and accompanied by handwritten notes identifying each of the images. Most images are 4 5/8”h. 7 7/8”w., the album is 7 1/4”h. 11 3/4”w.

Kerstetter (b. 1846) was from Ashland County, Ohio, and, as a boy, worked in his father’s blacksmith shop. He fought in the Civil War and was graduated from Baldwin “University” in 1873 and Mount Union in 1878. He would patent over one hundred optical instruments in his life, many of which were in the field of photography.

The album is a fascinating and rare collection of views of the Ohio River just prior to the turn of the 20th century. Included are views of Pittsburgh and the steamer Rush on which Kerstetter made the voyage, as well as numerous views of Marietta, including Campus Martius, Mound Cemetery, the lock on the Muskingum River, Main Street (with young girls on bicycles), and the First Congregational Church. The album and the accompanying notes provide a wonderful glimpse into turn-of-the-century life on the upper Ohio River. $400-$800

DECORATED BLANKET CHEST. Ohio, mid 19th century, poplar. Paneled construction, interior till and resting on turned feet. Retains its original paint decoration, consisting of vases of tulips in all of the panels, against a ground of red, green, and cream, with a grungy surface. Imperfections. 28”h. 47 1/4”w.

21 1/2”d.

FIVE PAINTINGS BY JAMES YOKO (DAYTON, OHIO, 20TH CENTURY).

Acrylic and collage on canvas, signed on the back. Abstracts, four with figures. In strip frames, 48 1/2”h. 24 1/2”w.; 31”h. 20 3/4”w.; 24 1/2”h.

36 1/2”w.; 25”h. 31”w., and 24 1/2”h.

30 1/2”w. $100-$200

This chest was undoubtedly decorated by the same hand as a small group of chests, two of which are illustrated in Hageman, Ohio Furniture Makers 1790-1860 (pp. 27 and 40).

Most of this group are of the same tri-paneled construction, and all have nearly identical vases of tulips.

This group has traditionally been associated with the Long family of Ada, Allen County, Ohio, however the present chest has a history of ownership in the Holmes-Harrison-Coshocton County area. It descended in the family of Lemon Joseph Ames (1903-1958) and was probably originally owned by either his paternal grandparents, Henry and Malinda Ames, or his maternal grandparents, Daniel and Elizabeth Levengood. Henry and Malinda were both born and then married in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and moved to German Township, Harrison County, Ohio, while Daniel was born in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and moved to Berlin Township, Holmes County where he married Elizabeth. Their children, James Ames and Ella Leavengood, married and settled in Coshocton County where Lemon Joseph was born. $3,000-$5,000

MILTON W. HOPKINS AND THE COLLINS FAMILY The Connecticut-born artist Milton W. Hopkins (1789-1844) spent most of his life in Connecticut and New York. He began his career as a portraitist in earnest when he advertised himself as a portrait painter and instructor in Albion, New York in 1833. In 1836, Hopkins packed up his wife and ten children and headed west to Ohio, settling in Clermont County. Though he never sold the Clermont County farm (he would die there in 1844), he would later set up a studio in Columbus (1840-1843) and then in Cincinnati (1843-1844). Based on identified portraits, Hopkins clearly traveled throughout the region for commissions.

Hopkins was a fervent anti-Mason and temperance advocate, and according to research by Jacquelyn Oak, it may have been his growing abolitionist sentiment that drove him to Ohio. She further postulates that it is through his anti-slavery efforts that Hopkins met fellow abolitionist and lawyer James Collins, Jr. while in Clermont County.

Collins (b. 1802 or 1803), a lawyer, married Angelina (apparently sometimes called Margaret) in 1830 and had four children. Documenting their location(s) is somewhat challenging, but Oak’s research places them in Clermont County during Hopkins’s residency, and later in Illinois (always as an active member of the abolition movement). As an attorney, 10 | GARTH’S May 29, 2010

Collins may well have spent time in Columbus (perhaps visiting Hopkins in his studio, which was very near the Ohio Statehouse). The 1850 Federal Census locates the Collins family in New Albany, Indiana, along the Ohio River (and in their household was an African-American girl named Anne Robertson).

Hopkins painted portraits Mr. and Mrs. Collins and of their sons Alfred and James in 1842. The portrait of the younger child was painted by another artist after Hopkins’s death. All of the present portraits remained together and were “discovered” in a Missouri attic years ago. These portraits are among the few identified examples from Hopkins’s Midwestern period, a fact made more important because of the shared abolitionist efforts of both artist and sitter. Additionally, the double portrait of James and Alfred is the only known double portrait by Hopkins. In short, this family group of portraits should be considered among the most significant Midwestern portraits of the 1840s period.

Retains its original finish. 10 3/4”h. 14”w.

11”d. Ex Hilda Morhart (Ohio, author of The Zoar Story), ex Mark Keily (Ohio).

This stool is among the best of the Midwestern-German footstools known, and is one of the few examples of Germanic furniture with cabriole or “bandy” legs that also has a solid history of ownership in Ohio, having once been in the Number 18 House in Zoar. It is illustrated in Snyder, Snyder, and Goudy, Zoar Furniture 18171898: A Preliminary Study, p. 22, a copy of which is included in the lot. $500-$700

The bandy legs on the footstool are of a type found in several Germanic communities in the Midwest. For a Zoar example, see lot 19.

Although the specific location of this view remains unknown, it is very likely a southwestern Ohio scene. Two identified artists have painted this same scene and both have connections to that region. In the 1860s, Robert Scott Duncanson (1821-1872) painted this view adding a couple of figures (see Cowan’s, October 2008, lot 25); and in the 1870s, E.A. Sumner (late 19th century) painted this same view (see Cowan’s, May 2003, lot 752).

Duncanson is known for his Ohio River Valley landscapes, and Sumner worked throughout Ohio executing views that appeared in county atlases of the 1870s, including Greene and Montgomery Counties. $300-$600

34 FINE SHERATON SIDEBOARD. Possibly Cincinnati, Ohio, dated November 13, 1822, figured cherry, cherry and poplar. Peaked pediment flanked by cutlery drawers, over two long drawers flanked by bottle drawers, over four doors, and resting on reeded and tapered feet. The doors, drawers and backsplash are all veneered with highly figured cherry. Minor imperfections. 52 1/2”h. 55 1/2”w. 20 1/4”d.

This sideboard is an exceptional example of veneer work, the facade being completely covered in a combination of matching and contrasting veneer. Additionally, the reeded and tapered legs are unusual on a southern Ohio case piece. A possibly related bowfront chest with figured cherry veneer and reeded and tapered legs was part of the collection of John Auraden (Ohio) and sold at Cowan’s, October 2004, lot 806.

Each of the long drawers bears period chalk inscriptions, including the date November 13, 1822. The top drawer appears to also read “J. West” and “C_____ R. Cole Eqr.” $8,000-$12,000

44 RARE AND IMPORTANT MAP OF THE WESTERN RESERVE. Map Of The Western Reserve Including the Fire Lands In Ohio. Engraving on wove paper with watercolor decoration. Engraved by William Savery, Pittsburgh, published by William Sumner, Nelson, Portage County, Ohio, September 1826, first edition. Mounted on linen, with original hangers, and embellished with watercolor flowers and vignettes. 34 1/2”h.

27”w. (excluding hangers). Ex Bill Samaha (Ohio/Massachusetts).

The Savery-Sumner map is one of the earliest locally printed maps of the Western Reserve.

The map, itself, is extremely scarce, but the present example, with its watercolor decoration, is seemingly unprecedented.

It is most likely that this map was originally used in an academy. The map was mounted to linen, comprising only about one-third of the space between the hangers. The remaining area was then pieced together from nine watercolor drawings, presumably by one or more of the students, including two strips of flowers, two sprays of flowers, a basket of strawberries, a shepherdess, Queen Elizabeth, a tableau (the figures are labeled Peace, Plenty, Justice, Liberty, Religion, and Hope), and a landscape that is labeled “Lady of the Woods” and may be a romanticized view of the Lake Erie shoreline.

The combination of watercolor decoration with a New England “flavor” and a map of the Western Reserve make this object an exceptional artifact of the settlement of northeastern Ohio by Connecticut émigrés and the transmission of culture and style from east to west.

20 | GARTH’S May 29, 2010

In volume 3 of The Thomas Winthrop Streeter Collection of Americana, Ernest J, Wessen (noted proprietor of Midland Rare Book Company in Mansfield, Ohio) opined that this map was “the finest map by an Ohio engraver and pioneer printer” (Streeter entries 1364 and 1371). This decorated map is illustrated and discussed in Studebaker, Ohio Is My Dwelling Place: Schoolgirl Embroideries 1800-1850, p. 204. $30,000-$50,000

68 OHIO WESTERN RESERVE SAMPLER. Huron (now Erie County), ca. 1829, silk on linen. Twelve-year-old Amanda Rogers filled the linen ground with elaborate alphabets, her family record, and a moral verse. The exquisitely stitched two-story Federal brick house is situated in a fenced garden. The adjacent river is spanned by a bridge and sports a small sailboat.

In a frame. 18 1/2”h. 20”w.

According to extensive family research Amanda Rogers was the youngest child of Thomas Rogers (1778-1818) and Hanna McCowen (d.1819). Originally from Massachusetts, the family lived in New York before locating a few miles south of Sandusky City in 1812 or 1816. After the death of their parents the five siblings were taken in by separate families, one-year-old Amanda going with her oldest sister, Emerancy, or “Nancy” who was about fourteen at the time. Nancy married George Santus and it appears that Amanda lived with them when she executed this sampler. The 1826 birth date of couple’s daughter Martha is recorded, but not her death 1 1/2 years later. Amanda married George W. Smith (b.1819) in 1841: the 1850 census for Portland, Erie County, lists George’s occupation as that of sheriff, and records five children in the household. $2,000-$4,000 68

17”h. 14”w., in a modern gilt frame, 22 1/2”h. 19 1/2”w.

Ex Sumpter Priddy III (Virginia).

The charming boy depicted here may be modeled after the artist’s son, Frank Miller Eaton. Eaton painted a portrait of the boy in 1870 and the similarities are apparent.

Eaton was perhaps best-known for his genre pictures with children. For information on Eaton, see Haverstock et al, Artists in Ohio, 1787-1900, pp. 255-6. $2,000-$4,000

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.

PREVIEWS: We encourage our clients to come and examine the items before each auction. Preview times are listed in the forward of each catalog. The stage is closed during the auction.
