118 DECORATED BLANKET CHEST. Probably northern Indiana or southwestern Michigan, mid-late 19th century, pine. Turned feet, dovetailed case and interior till with lid. Original dark red paint with stencilled gold and silver starflowers, basket of melons and “JS”. Minor edge damage. 25 1/2”h. 43 1/2”w. 19 1/2”d. Found in Illinois. The chests offered as lots 118 and 119 are possibly from the same shop in northern Indiana or southwestern Michigan. Although their overall design scheme is quite different, several of the stencilled motifs appear to have been applied using the same stencils, including the heart-lyre and the starflower motifs, as well as the flower-scroll motif that appears on the sides of the fish-stencilled chest and on the lid of the melon-stencilled chest.

119 DECORATED BLANKET CHEST. Northern Indiana or southwestern Michigan, 19th century, poplar. Dovetailed case and bracket feet. Has till with lid. Original red flame graining with stencilled gold and silver fish with scrolls and starflowers. Imperfections. 23 1/4”h. 37 1/2”w. 18 3/4”d. As noted in the previous lot, the stencilled decoration on this blanket chest illustrates a strong connection to the furniture of Soap Hollow. Of particular note on this chest is the fish, a highly unusual motif on non-coastal furniture. In Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, Muller illustrates another fish-decorated blanket chest (p. 65) that, like this example, shares motifs with known Soap Hollow pieces, most notably a bird on a fern that also appears on a chest by Jeremiah Stahl. Likely the Muller chest and the chest offered here were both produced in the same area and both makers drew upon their cultural connection to Soap Hollow. $800-$1,200

These two chests illustrate an important connection between the stencilled furniture popular in the Somerset County, Pennsylvania, Mennonite community of Soap Hollow and the Mennonite communities in the Midwest. The heart-lyre and the star motifs appear on Soap Hollow furniture by several of the known makers. More importantly, however, the basket of melons on the front of lot 118 is very similar to the basket of melons seen on furniture by Jeremiah Stahl and is similar to the melon basket stencil that descended in the Sala family; see Muller, pp. 41 and 66-67. In Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, Muller indicates that numerous members of the Soap Hollow community migrated to the Midwest. Among them were some of the craftsmen, including Peter K. Thomas, David K. Livingston, and Jeremiah Stahl, all of whom moved to Kent County, Michigan. It seems most probable, then, that these makers, particularly Jeremiah Stahl, were key players in the transmission of stencil decoration to the American Midwest during the second half of the 19th century. $1,000-$1,500

Even prior to the arrival of the funeral train, on April 19, the small town of Piqua, in Miami County, Ohio, held a funeral, and the featured orator was Dr. Godwin Volney Dorsey (1812-1885), a prominent physician and staunch Lincoln supporter. Dorsey had been participating in politics since the 1840s, culminating in his appointment as Ohio State Treasurer in 1861 and 1863. When Lincoln’s body lay in state at the Ohio Statehouse on April 29, 1865, his casket was covered by wreaths, one of which was purchased by Dr. Dorsey, who reclaimed the wreath upon the train’s departure. The wreath then descended in the Dorsey family until acquired by the current owner in 1975. Provenance: Dr. Godwin Volney Dorsey Walker McCorkle Dorsey, his son E.A. Schaeffer, Jr., his great-nephew Betsy Berkshire, his daughter 424

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.
