THREADS OF TIME
THE DANIEL AND DARA BREWSTER COLLECTION
Grogan & Company is honored to offer the Collection of Daniel B. Brewster, who, together with his wife Dara, has been a scholar and collector of rugs and textiles for over 40 years. Both Daniel and Dara are accomplished media executives and entrepreneurs, who have been drawn to exquisitely crafted, artisan-made items throughout their wide-ranging careers. Lots 41 through 50 represented here are a testament to their collection, and a celebration of their careful eye.
While exploring the world with their family in pursuit of immersion and understanding, Dan and Dara were inspired by the beautiful intricacies of heritage textiles and the cultural narratives they convey. They met with dyers and weavers, listened to their stories, and learned about their crafts. This ignited a desire to promote indigenous, artisan weaving as a foundation for cultural appreciation and advocacy. From Indonesian ikat to Navajo blankets, even the most utilitarian cloth tells a story of the environments and experiences of those who made them, particularly in places with limited resources. Their book, Threads of Time, is the embodiment of those intentions and hopes to be a foundation for continued exploration of world culture.
Threads of Time is a journey of cultural curiosity woven together by ancestral textiles. Cultural heritage and traditions have been handed down through generations by master textile artisans. Their belief systems, tribal history, wedding and burial traditions, and even counting systems, were woven into cloth with meaning and purpose lasting thousands of years. Textiles were often a primary narrative for cultures without written language. Woven artifacts tell the stories of who they are and why they are here, among overlooked or forgotten people in remote regions around the world. The pages of Threads of Time will illustrate the exquisite textiles with location photography, historical examples from centuries past to extraordinary contemporary expressions, revealing a continuum of inspiration and beauty. Contributors from these communities will author the seventeen chapters from Indonesia to America to fully express the stories of the cloth.
Reflecting on the journeys of the collection, Dara Brewster celebrated the compilation of the book: “We didn’t collect textiles so much as they collected us. For over 40 years the search for textiles has led us to the fabric of communities from the Acoma Puebla to the islands of Indonesia to the deserts of North Africa to the highlands of Vietnam. It has been nothing short of humbling, awe-inspiring, and fun. Come with us on a journey through these incredible textiles from 16 regions around the world as we celebrate artisans, cultures, creativity, humanity, and stories of the cloth told by writers from each region.”

Other Notes: [Christie's catalogue caption] This unusual rug bears similarities to a group of carpets that appear to have been woven between the mid 17th century and the first quarter of the 19th and are associated by no one overriding feature but a number of varying elements whether it be structure, design or individual motifs and are discussed at length by Ian Bennett in his article, 'Animal and Tree Carpets an Amorphous Group', Hali 73, February/March 1994, pp. 91-99.
At the time, the group consisted of nineteen rugs and was subsequently divided into sub groups based on similarity of design and further individual motifs. Of the sub groups ours is most similar to group B which includes such pieces as The Berlin fragmentary carpet, East Anatolia, mid 17th century, in the Museum Für Islamishce Kunst, Berlin, and The Milan carpet, North West Persia, possibly 18th century, in the Freiberger Collection, Munich (Bennett, op. cit. p. 93). The whereabouts of the other three examples in that subgroup are unfortunately now unknown. The present rug, woven on brown wool wefts and natural/brown wool warps is different in construction to the Berlin fragment which is woven on red silk warps and mixed cotton and red silk wefts and is thought to have been woven in east Anatolia in the mid 17th century. Our lot whilst more tribal in its design and cruder in its execution contains a number of the same design elements, namely the elongated animal forms, the small octagonal medallions filled with stellar medallions and a number of the very small geometric motifs which suggests that is was probably woven at the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th.
The most obvious difference in the present lot from the ‘animal and tree’ carpets however is the inclusion of the large central cruciform medallion. Dominating the central field and filled with the same animal and geometric motifs, this striking form of crossed beams is used on a number of early Anatolian runners from Eastern Konya and on two examples in the Kirchheim Collection (E. Heinrich Kirchheim et al., Orient Stars, a Carpet Collection, Stuttgart and London, 1993, pl. 139 & 140, pp. 214-215).

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
Please read the following terms and conditions carefully. Bidding at an auction sale constitutes acceptance by you (herein referred to as “you” or “Bidder”) of all the Conditions of Sale.
These Terms and Conditions of Sale contain all terms and conditions on which Grogan & Company, Inc. (herein referred to as “Grogan & Co.” ,“we”, “us”, or “our”) and the consignor’s contract with the purchaser relative to the property listed in our catalogue or otherwise offered for sale. These Terms and Conditions of Sale may be amended by Grogan & Co. at any time and from time to time through the time of sale by any notices posted or oral announcements made during the sale.
1. Agency. We act as agent for the consignors of all property described in all catalogues. The contract for the sale of each item is a contract between the owner of the item and the successful bidder (the “Purchaser”) for the item.
2. Inspections. Our auctions are sight sales. Regardless of the presence of any condition report with respect to any item, each Bidder must rely on his or her own judgment of an item’s description and condition and should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size, and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. You accept all responsibility for such purchase; without limitation, you accept any defects, damages, past repairs, irregularities, and all other physical conditions that could have been determined by your inspection of the property.
3. Estimates and Descriptions. Any estimate of the selling price of an item stated in our catalogue or internet listing is intended as a guide for prospective bidders. Stated estimates should not be relied upon as the value of the item, nor as a statement that this is the price at which the item will in fact sell. All images in catalogues are for identification purposes only and are not intended to represent the actual color or clarity of the item being auctioned. Written and oral descriptions, including, without limitation, catalogue and internet descriptions and condition reports, are our opinions only, and should not be construed or relied upon as statements of fact nor as guarantees of any kind. We and the consignor make no representation or warranty as to whether the Purchaser acquires any copyrights, including, but not limited to, any reproduction rights, in the property. No statement anywhere, whether written or oral, shall be deemed to be a guarantee, a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability of any kind by us. Grogan & Co. is not responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalogue, internet listing, condition reports, or other descriptions, except as expressly provided in Section 20 hereof. Any references to damage, repair or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder; the absence of such references does not imply that an item is free from defects, repairs, or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects, repairs or restorations imply the absence of others. Condition of frames on artwork is not generally described. All measurements are approximate. Jewelry descriptions are only estimates as to carat size, precious metal content, number of stones, quality, clarity, and the like.
4. Purchaser’s Responsibility. Except as expressly stated in Section 20, all property is sold “AS-IS” and neither we nor the consignor make any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied, with respect to the property, merchantability, or correctness of the catalogue, internet listings, condition reports or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature, or historical relevance of the property or otherwise. Bidders are responsible for satisfying themselves as to all aspects of property condition and descriptions.
5. Qualification. We may from time to time establish standards of qualification for bidders. We reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to refuse admission to the premises and/or participation in any auction, and/or to reject any bid.
6. Registration. Prospective bidders are required to register prior to the auction. Registration may be limited to a select number of days prior to the time of the
auction. Internet bidders may register through Grogan & Co’s online bidding software. PRIOR TO BIDDING, ALL REGISTRANTS ARE REQUIRED TO CAREFULLY READ ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE, THE DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE LOTS ON WHICH THEY INTEND TO BID AND THEY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SALE. Registrants are responsible for payment of purchases resulting from all successful bids.
7. Internet Bidding. Internet bidding is offered as a service to our customers. Consignors and prospective bidders shall not hold us responsible for any errors or failures in executing bids, nor shall they hold us responsible for any failure or delay as a result of using our online bidding applications, platforms, software including, without limitation, those provided by third party providers.
8. Acceptance and Rejection of Bids. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of a dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Although at our discretion we will execute order bids or accept telephone bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at auctions, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith.
9. Winning Bids. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, subject to fulfillment by such Bidder of all of the conditions set forth herein, and such bidder thereupon assumes full risk of loss and responsibility therefore. Any person submitting bids on behalf of a corporation or other entity, by making such bid, agrees to be personally liable for the payment of the purchase price and any related charges and the performance of all Purchaser obligations under the Terms of Sale. GROGAN & CO. IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS IN BIDDING. All Bidders should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is in the amount intended. Once the hammer has fallen and the auctioneer has announced the winning bidder, the winning bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot in the amount of the winning bid, even if the winning bidder made a mistake.
10. Reserves. It is our policy to act as agent on behalf of the consignor; we do not permit a consignor to bid on his or her own lots unless expressly agreed between us and the consignor or except as herein set forth. Unless advertised otherwise, some lots may be offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the minimum price that the consignor is willing to accept for the lot, which may or may not be disclosed, and which may be determined or modified at any time by written or verbal communication between us and the consignor. If the auctioneer decides that any bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject the same and withdraw the lot from the sale, and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, the auctioneer decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient; the auctioneer may reject the advance and may thereafter withdraw the lot. Unless an auction is announced as “without reserve,” each lot offered may be subject to a reserve and we may execute said reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor; provided, however, that we will not place consecutive bids on behalf of the consignor above the reserve.
11. Withdrawal of Lots. We reserve the right to withdraw any property at any time before the sale and for any reason or no reason. No participant in the auction shall have a right to claim any damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, if a lot is withdrawn.
12. Buyer's Premium. A buyer’s premium of 25% will be added to the successful hammer price and is payable by the Purchaser as part of the total purchase price. Purchases made through Invaluable or LiveAuctioneers will be subject to an additional 5% charge and through Bidsquare an additional 3% charge.
13. Payment. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check, or wire transfer. Property will not be released until funds equal to the total purchase price clear,

unless credit has been previously established, or if a bank letter has been received prior to the sale guaranteeing said personal check. All property must be paid for within five (5) business days following the sale and removed from the gallery within twenty (20) days. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or, in case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed authenticity. GROGAN & CO. DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR LOSSESS OR DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF TRANSPORTING OR STORING UNCOLLECTED PROPERTY.
14. Tax. Unless exempt by law, the Purchaser will be required to pay the Massachusetts sales tax or any applicable compensating use tax of another state on the total purchase price. The rate of sales tax in Massachusetts is 6.25%. For those eligible, a Massachusetts exemption number may be applied for prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation, 100 Cambridge Street, Boston, Massachusetts.
15. Shipping. No lots shall be delivered to or collected by the Purchaser until payment in full of the purchase price and all applicable taxes and charges. All lots must be picked up by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s shipper within twenty (20) business days following the close of the auction. Property not removed from the gallery within twenty (20) days will be sent to our warehouse where storage fees may be assessed at the then prevailing rate. We may provide names of packing and shipping agents and you may arrange for service by one of those agents or one of your own choosing to pack and ship the winning lots. Grogan & Co. will not pack or ship; providing names of packing and shipping agents is done as a convenience for our customers and Grogan & Co. shall have no responsibility or liability for loss or damage of property shipped to Purchasers. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers of purchased lots, whether or not recommended by us. Packing and handling of purchased lots by us is at the entire risk of the Purchaser. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event will we be liable for damage to glass or frames, regardless of the cause. If property remains in our warehouse on the third anniversary of the close of the auction, we retain the right to resell, as agent for the Purchaser, any such unshipped property, or send the property to another auctioneer for resale. We will send the proceeds of any resale, less any commissions and fees, by mail to the Purchaser’s last known address.
16. Remedies for Breach. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by a winning bidder, in addition to other remedies available by law, including without limitation the right to hold the winning bidder liable for the total purchase price, we, at our option, may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the winning bidder or (b) resell the property at public auction without reserve or minimum selling price, and the winning bidder will be liable for any deficiency and costs, including handling charges, expenses of both sales, the commission on both sales at regular rates, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. In the event of breach by internet bidders of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, Grogan & Co. may file a Non-Paying Bidder Alert to Bidsquare, Invaluable and/or LiveAuctioneers. Grogan & Co. reserves the right to impose a carrying charge of 1.5% per month on past due accounts. Purchasers agree to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred to collect past due accounts.
17. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF CONSIGNOR OR US, OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS, TO A PURCHASER FOR ANY BREACH, ACT, OMISSION, OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE, WITH RESPECT TO AN ITEM PURCHASED, EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID BY THE PURCHASER FOR THE ITEM. In no event shall the consignor or us, our officers, employees and agents, have any liability under any circumstances for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages (including, without limitation, for loss of profits or revenue, costs of obtaining alternative property, claims of customers of Purchaser or otherwise), whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of, resulting from or in any way relating to the property purchased, or its purchase, sale, delivery or non-delivery. In no event shall consignor or us, our officers, employees and agents, be liable for any claims related to the errors, acts,
omissions, websites, or technology of the bidding software.
18. LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 20, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED, AND ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD, “AS IS” WITH NO GUARANTIES OR WARRANTIES OF ANY TYPE. NEITHER THE CONSIGNOR NOR US, OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR GUARANTY, NOR DO ANY OF THE FOREGOING ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, GRADING, QUALITY, ATTRIBUTION, GENUINENESS, AUTHENTICITY, PROVENANCE, AGE, CONDITION, MATERIALS, AUTHORSHIP, COMPLETENESS, DAMAGE, REPAIR, RESTORATION, ESTIMATE OF VALUE OR ANY OTHER FEATURE. NEITHER THE CONSIGNOR NOR US, OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRECTNESS OF ANY STATEMENT OF WHATEVER KIND CONCERNING ANY LOT, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN DESCRIPTION OR FOR ANY FAULTS OR DEFECTS IN ANY PROPERTY. THE PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING AND RELATED THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE GRADING, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, CONDITION, AUTHENTICITY, AND PROVENANCE OF A LOT.
19. All Sales Final. Items are sold with all faults and are not returnable for any reason except as set forth in the following Section 20.
20. Limited Rescission Right. If within fourteen (14) days of the sale of any lot, the Purchaser gives notice in writing to us that the lot is counterfeit and within ten (10) days after such notice, the Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost, risk, and expense, returns the lot to us in the same condition as when sold, and demonstrates to our satisfaction that the lot is a counterfeit, we will refund the purchase price.
21. Severability. No invalidity or partial invalidity or unenforceability of any provision provided herein shall affect or impair the validity of enforceability of any other provision hereof. If any provision or portion thereof of the Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be void, unlawful or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision or portion thereof shall be deemed deleted and severed from the remaining provisions, and shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any of the remaining provisions.
22. Jurisdiction; Governing Law. These Terms and Conditions of Sale as well as the Purchaser’s and our respective rights and obligation hereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By bidding at an auction whether present in person or by agent, order bid, telephone, or other means, you shall be deemed to have consented to the jurisdiction of the state courts, and the federal courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In any litigation between us and any Bidders (whether or not the Purchaser) the prevailing party shall be awarded full reimbursement of its actual paid legal fees in connection with the dispute.
23. No Assignment. Unless Grogan & Co. consents in writing, you may not assign your rights or any of your obligations relating to an auction or other sale by Grogan & Co. Any assignment without Grogan & Co.’s written consent will be void.
24. No Waiver. The failure of Grogan & Co. hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided hereunder or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such Grogan & Co. of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
25. BY BIDDING AT AN AUCTION, WHETHER IN PERSON OR BY AGENT, PROXY, ABSENTEE BID, TELEPHONE, OR OTHERWISE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE.
