1 DECORATED STEP-BACK CUPBOARD. Northern Indiana, dated 1895, poplar. Two-piece, the upper section with glazed doors and central panel, the lower section with three drawers and two doors. Decorated in black and red paint with gold stenciling, including birds and “1895.” 86”h. 59”w. 20 1/2”d. The stenciled birds on the lower doors of this cupboard are identical to birds on a blanket chest in private hands, and both were found in northern Indiana. The heart-lyre and the starflower motifs on the present cupboard are identical to those that appear on two blanket chests previously sold by Garth’s (November 2009, lots 118 and 119). These motifs also appear on furniture by several makers in Soap Hollow, Pennsylvania, including Jeremiah Stahl (1830-1907), who relocated to Kent County, Michigan, in 1880. Stahl was one of several Soap Hollow craftsmen who migrated west, including Stahl’s friend Peter K. Thomas (1838-1907), who had arrived in Michigan by 1870. The consistent use of identical stenciled motifs across a large geographic area and on furniture clearly by several different hands, suggests that the stencils were being widely copied, or perhaps even produced for sale or trade. For examples of Stahl’s heart-lyre and starflower stencils, see Muller, Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, pp. 40-47. $5,000-$10,000

PORTRAIT OF A HORSE BY HENRY DOUSA (OHIO/INDIANA, CA. 1845-1885). Pastel on paper, signed lower right and dated 1892. Portrait of a horse standing in a meadow, identified below as “Big Frank at 2 yrs. Sired by Capulet 9697. Dam Jet by Young Frenchman Sire of Virginia Rec. 2.181/2.” 16 3/4”h. 21 3/4”w., in a period frame, 19 1/2”h. 24 1/2”w.
STONEWARE CROCK. American, 2nd half-19th century. Brushed cobalt flourishes and “10” with stenciled label “Williams & Reppert, Greensboro, Pa”. 21”h. $300-$600
French-born Henry Dousa is a somewhat enigmatic folk artist. Early accounts describe him as friendless, a difficult husband, and his works as “amusingly stiff.” He lived most of his life in Lafayette, Indiana, removing temporarily to New Castle, but returning to Lafayette where he later died. He worked in a variety of media, including oil, pastel, and watercolor. Dousa is perhaps best known for his portraits of cows, sheep, and, horses, many of which include the names and lineage of the subject(s), as is the case here. Printed in pencil below the image is “F T Smith Chatham, Ill.” This is probably Frank T. Smith (born ca.1867) to Blake and Susan Smith. Blake was a grain dealer, and he and Susan, along with Frank’s first wife, Marion, are buried in Old Chatham Cemetery. Frank remarried and apparently left Chatham about 1910. $4,000-$7,000 4 | GARTH’S May 20-21, 2011

Most of the Amish and Mennonites in Holmes County migrated from Pennsylvania.

161 THE HENDERSON FAMILY LIBRARY BOOKCASE. Possibly Richard Rood, Marietta, Ohio, ca.1830, cherry and poplar. One-piece with paneled doors, interior shelves, and resting on turned feet. Imperfections. 98 1/2”h. 56 3/4”w. 14”d. Prominent Virginian Alexander Henderson Jr. came west to the Ohio Valley just after the turn of the 19th century. He and his family settled on Willow Island, a short distance upriver from Parkersburg, Virginia (now West Virginia). Alexander’s son, George Washington Henderson, settled on a large tract of land just outside Williamstown, along the Ohio, and built Henderson Hall (the first structure was completed in 1836 and the Italianate addition in 1856-9). The house has remained in the family and is currently operated as a museum, and contains seemingly everything the family ever used. This supremely important collection includes a large library bookcase nearly identical to the present bookcase, though made of walnut. Family tradition attributes the walnut cupboard to Rood, a Marietta cabinetmaker about whom we know very little. It is likely that the present bookcase was made about the same time as the walnut bookcase still at Henderson Hall, and very possibly by Rood. Both would have originally stood at the family’s Willow Island plantation until moving to Henderson Hall. The cherry bookcase offered here left Henderson Hall later in the 19th century when Arthur T. Henderson, George’s youngest son, built a home next door, and it remained there, in the family’s possession, until consigned to this auction. See Richmond, “Southern Sophistication on the Early Frontier: The Inlaid Furniture of Washington County, Ohio, 1788-1825,” in American Furniture, 2004, figure 17. $2,500-$5,000

While the different woods used in the upper and lower sections and the missing mid-molding suggest that this cupboard is a marriage of parts from two different cupboards, the construction is very consistent, suggesting the same region, if not the same shop. Diamond panels are found on case furniture made in a number of Midwestern Germanic communities, most notably Zoar, New Bremen, and Pandora in Ohio, and Oldenburg in Indiana. The shape of the feet on this cupboard suggests an Auglaize County origin. See Hageman, Ohio Furniture Makers Volume 2: 1790-1860, pp. 34 and 42. $1,500-$2,500

This chest is part of a group of decorated objects made in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan or western Pennsylvania (outside of Soap Hollow), but closely related to the work of Soap Hollow in Somerset County. The winged bowl of fruit on the lower drawer appears identical to that which appears on a number of Soap Hollow blanket chests, including one labeled by Jeremiah Stahl (who migrated to Kent County, Michigan, in 1870), as well as a chest of drawers by Peter K. Thomas (whose migration to Kent County, preceded Stahl’s by three years). See Charles Muller, Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, pages 38 and 43. Additionally, the stenciled tablet on the third long drawer appears the same as on a chest of drawers bearing other stencils used by both Stahl and Thomas. See Muller, page 76. $2,500-$5,000

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.
