PROPERTY SOLD TO BENEFIT THE FUND OF HERITAGE MUSEUM OF ASIAN ART Heritage Museum of Asian Art was founded in Chicago by Jeffrey Moy (Moy Ying Ming). Moy’s grandfather was one of the famous three Moy brothers, who immigrated to the United States during the late 19th century and established Chinatown in Chicago. Jeffrey Moy started his own gallery back in 1960s, later he met Avery Brundage (1887-1975), one of the biggest local collectors and became Brundage’s special assistance. Avery Brundage was the President of International Olympic Committee for about 20 years, starting in the 1950s. Brundage was also an avid collector. His collection of Chinese jade was well regarded. In 19671968, Brundage donated his vast collection to the City of San Francisco, now known as the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco. In 1969, Brundage asked Moy to assist in placing over 3,000 surplus artifacts by contacting collectors, dealers, institutions world wide. Many of the surplus pieces are in the collection of Hong Kong Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, Los Angelas County Museum, Boston Musem of Fine Arts and many others. Following this assignment, Jeffrey Moy became a dealer in Asian Art and independent art consultant. In 1989, he purchased the famous Paragon Book Gallery, which was founded by Max Faerber in Shanghai in 1942 and relocated to New York in 1948. When Moy took over, the gallery was relocated again in Chicago and had its own publishing house, Art Media Resources.

Thanks to the publishing business, Jeffrey Moy met many collectors in Mainland China during the late 1980s, including Mr. Wang Shixiang and Ms. Grace Wu Bruce. At that time, Wang Shixiang was experiencing legal issues with Jiont Publishing HK regarding his two books: Classic Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties and Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture. Moy recommended his publishing house for the English edition for Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture and distributing them in North America and Europe. Wang gladly agreed. In 1990, the English edition was published (including 500 limited editions with original wood boxes, lot 71 is no. 396 of 500 copies). When Moy first met Wang, the Chinese Economic Reform had not yet officially started. At that time, Ming and Qing architectures, Ming and Qing furniture could still be found in Beijing. After 30 years, Jeffrey Moy still remembers the days he spent with Wang Shixiang during preparation of the book, he witnessed Wang’s passion for life as well as Chinese furniture. Jeffrey Moy has been collecting Chinese arts for many decades and established the Heritage Museum of Asian Art in Chicago in 2014. The museum showcases a wide range of art forms, spanning many cultures and time periods. The museum’s collection includes archaic and modern jades, Neolithic pottery, imperial porcelains, Chinese snuff bottles, scholar’s objects, textiles, bronzes and more. Classical Chinese furniture also adorns the galleries. We are proud to include over 70 lots in this sale.


亞洲傳統藝術博物館明清家具珍藏 亞洲傳統藝術博物館由華裔古董商梅英明(Jeffrey Moy)創立於芝加哥。梅英明的祖父是著名的梅氏 三兄弟之一,十九世紀末偕宗族自西海岸遷入美中,建立芝城華埠。梅氏自六十年代起開設古董店,結 識大藏家艾弗裏·布倫戴奇(Avery Brundage,1887-1975),任其特別助理。布氏為田徑運動員出身, 後從建築業經商,五十年代起擔任國際奧委會主席達二十年之久,是首位非歐洲出身的奧會主席。布倫 戴奇酷愛收藏,尤以藏玉著稱,質美而量豐。1967-68年,八十二歲高齡的布氏將大量藏品贈與舊金山亞 洲藝術博物館,舊金山自此成為北美亞洲藝術收藏重鎮。梅英明即於此時受聘,協助私洽其中的3000余 件藏品,買家包括香港藝術館、波士頓藝術博物館、鳳凰城藝術博物館、洛杉磯郡立博物館等諸多專業 機構。 此後,梅英明成為古董商及藝術顧問,頻繁往返於北美、香港與內地。1989年,因緣際會得以購入赫赫 有名但經營慘淡的佳作書局(Paragon Book Gallery)。佳作書局由猶太人馬法伯(Max Faerber)1942年創 辦於上海,1948年移至紐約,專營東亞書籍。梅氏接手後,將書局遷往芝加哥,並為之建立出版社Art Media Resources,長年與博物館、高校及研究機構合作,發行東方文史經典與藝術研究書籍。 八十年代末,因涉獵出版業,梅英明與內地行家接觸頗多,並結識暢安老人王世襄與“黃花梨女皇”伍 嘉恩。彼時王因出版《明式家具珍賞》及《明式家具研究》二書,與香港三聯產生版權糾紛,梅遂自薦由佳 作書局旗下Art Media Resources出版《研究》之英譯本,於北美及歐洲發行,王欣然同意。1990年,英文版 《明式家具研究》面世(另有木函精裝限量版500冊,本場71號拍品即為其一),王世襄、袁荃猷夫婦應梅 之邀,前往芝加哥簽售,並同遊美國。 梅氏與王世襄先生相識之初,開放的大潮尚未興起,北京仍能看到明清建築,也能訪到明清家具。時隔 近三十年,梅英明還能憶起《研究》籌備期間,常侍王世襄先生左右,看他晨起往朝陽市場買菜造飯,冬日 養秋蟲兒,又嘗結伴去南曉市搜羅家具,訪魯班館配銅活籘屜,尋匠師髹飾塗染。梅氏自謂雖於八十年代初 即涉足古董家具,此時方真正懂得木趣之美。譬如先生曾與其論及細木家具,雲時人獨重紫檀、黃花梨之質 美而堅,但良材難覓,向來索價甚昂,其實同代南榆、雞翅、鐵力等木,不乏工樸而妍、與花梨家具之營造 法式如出一手者。且自古來不少樹種科屬小異而名稱相同,成器之後,微觀考察,或能分辨,行家若作收藏 論,何必強作解人,應重在拆卸研究、欣賞摩挲,如能拋去材料之見,才算登堂入室,不落小乘。 梅氏收藏中國藝術品數十年,2014年於芝加哥開設亞洲傳統藝術博物館,除明清家具,館內亦藏有大量 高古及明清玉器,並常設青銅、書畫、瓷雜等展品。此次藏品梳理,委托上拍,共計家具七十余件(組), 涵蓋桌案、臺幾、椅凳、櫥架、箱櫃、屏風、床塌等十余種。重點拍品如20號紅木六柱拔步床,28號紫檀十 扇屏,29號紫檀雲龍紋嵌玉盤,30號紫檀八寶紋座,35號斑竹羅漢床等,繁簡不同,古雅可愛,高堂廣榭, 曲房奧室,各有所宜,值得藏家珍賞。

Height 97 x width 90 x depth 101 inches. $6,000-8,000

拔步床是中國古典家具中體積最大的品種,也是明清 時期價值最高的家具。此床前後兩進,置於地平之上。立柱 十跟,上承床頂,分兩塊安裝。後為六柱架子床,原裝藤編 軟屜狀況良好,僅局部略有殘損。床身束腰起皮條線,內翻 馬蹄足,造型矮扁。正面兩塊方形門圍子及後、左、右三面 長圍子均由短材攢接卐字紋。床前立柱四根,與前角柱構成 淺廊,可置櫃、桌、凳、腳踏、妝台等小型家具。廊兩欄杆 及門圍子均為壽字紋,亦由短材攢接而成,規律而勻稱。床 頂四周與廊頂三面均設絛環板掛檐,開炮仗筒式魚門洞。全 床由百餘個部件組成,結構嚴謹且裝飾簡潔。正面床門柱、 前廊柱僅以“兩炷香”略作修飾,唯掛檐鎪鏤繁複,又雕出 垂花門式樣。三面裝有四抹圍板墻,閉合時封閉嚴密,打開 時可以採光通風,猶如一間獨立的小屋。 按王世襄《明式家具研究》,大拔步床形制自明代後 延續不替,多見於南方(北方天氣寒冷多睡暖炕)。由於 工料繁浩,體積巨大,生活一有改變,便容易被拆毀,故傳 世甚少。此床通體包漿潤澤,古色生香,叠壓安裝,榫卯考 究,尤其歷經百年而保存完整,殊為難得。

HENRY STOLLNITZ Henry Stollnitz had a lifelong devotion to decorative objects, including antique furniture and accessories, lighting fixtures and oriental art as well as the Chinese porcelains presented in this sale. He developed this deep appreciation though years of immersion in New York City architecture, art, and antiques, through the study of architecture and history, and through careful acquisition of household furnishings and décor in which his collection of Chinese porcelains became a central focus. Henry Sandé Stollnitz, Jr. was born August 15 1906 in Tampa, Florida. Around the age of five, the family (Henry, his older sister Hortense, and their parents) moved to Brooklyn, New York. Henry and Hortense attended New York City public schools, and Hortense graduated from Bay Ridge High School in 1915. Two years later, she became the world-champion speed typist. Not long after, the family moved to Broadway and 177th Street in Manhattan. From 1919 to 1923, Henry attended Townsend Harris High School, which was then an all-male school with a rigorous program for intellectually gifted students. Located at 23rd Street and Lexington Avenue, in the building now occupied by Baruch College of the City University of New York, Townsend Harris was more than 8 miles south of Henry’s home in upper Manhattan. In good weather, Henry liked to take long walks through the city, observing a wide range of architectural styles. That experience stimulated his interest in architecture, and he enrolled in the College of Architecture when he started at Cornell University in 1923. However, he later transferred to the College of Arts and Sciences and majored in History. As a new college graduate in New York City’s booming economy of 1927, Henry easily found employment aligned with his interests in decorative arts and design. His first employer was the William H. Jackson Company, a firm that provided ornamental metal for a wide range of uses, including the decorative metal on the façade of the Empire State Building. As a salesman in their Manhattan showroom, however, Henry dealt in such items as fireplace tools and andirons, which were much in demand for the elegant homes of prosperous New Yorkers—until the Great Depression caused that market to dry up. Again pursuing his lifelong interests, Henry became a salesman for Lightolier, Inc., a leading firm in decorative lighting fixtures. From his start as a salesman in Lightolier’s Manhattan showroom, Henry expanded the scope of his activities to designing chandeliers and then to purchasing their crystal and metal components. Becoming the manager of the firm’s Portfolio line of fixtures, Henry oversaw their manufacturing in Lightolier’s factory in Jersey City, produced catalogs, and traveled to Czechoslovakia and elsewhere in Europe to purchase crystal and other components. Henry retired from Lightolier around 1975, after a career of about 40 years with the company.

Even while he was still with the Jackson Company, Henry was frequenting New York’s antique shops and auction houses, buying carefully selected home furnishings at Depression-era prices. In addition to antique furniture, his purchases included numerous oriental prints, which adorned the walls of the family’s apartment, now in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of the borough of Queens. Henry’s father, a dealer in antiques, died in 1935, and, coincidentally or not, that was the year in which the focus of Henry’s purchases shifted to oriental porcelains. From 1935 through 1937, he acquired many fine pieces from the same antique shops and auction houses that had been his earlier source of furniture and prints. He also bought at auction a handsome antique cabinet with glass-front shelves on which he proudly displayed his porcelains for the rest of his life. In January 1937, Henry married Helen Bessemer, a librarian at the New York Public Library, who joined the Stollnitz family in the Jackson Heights apartment. By the time Helen and Henry had their first child, in 1939, Henry and Hortense had purchased and renovated a house in Forest Hills Gardens, a planned community of Tudor-style houses built between 1910 and 1917, whose notable residents included Wendell Wilkie (a long-time Democratic activist who changed his party registration in 1939 to become the Republican presidential nominee in 1940) and later Trygvie Lie (the first Secretary-General of the United Nations). The Stollnitz family moved in 1939 to the Forest Hills house, where Henry’s porcelains, in their handsome display cabinet, occupied the place of honor in the elegantly furnished living room. Henry and Helen raised their three children in that home through the 1940s and ’50s; Hortense married and moved to her own home in 1947, and Henry’s mother died in 1959. In the mid-1950s, Henry added substantially to his collection of porcelains, although the bargain prices of that period were about 10 times higher than those he had paid 20 years earlier. By the time Henry retired, around 1975, he had become heavily involved in philately, collecting United States used postage stamps, specializing in U.S. stamps used abroad and in postal history. Helen died in 1985, and not long afterward Henry moved to an apartment on the East Side of midtown Manhattan, not far from the antique shops and philatelic auction houses that had long attracted him. Once again, the Chinese porcelains occupied pride of place in his apartment’s living room. At the time of Henry’s death on May 5, 1995, neither of his two surviving children had a suitable place in their homes to house the porcelain collection, but his granddaughter, Nancy Stollnitz Hoetker, was happy to display the collection in its original antique cabinet. Now, as she prepares to move from Arizona to Melbourne (where her husband has been appointed to a distinguished professorship in the Melbourne Business School), she has reluctantly decided to part with this family treasure.

Jackson處找到一份銷售類工 作。該公司以主營Art Deco風格的鐵藝飾板出名,著名的帝國大廈上 的鐵藝裝飾,即由此公司完成。三十年代起,施托尼茨轉往燈飾品牌 Lightolier(2007年為飛利浦收購)工作,歷任旗艦線產品設計師、製 造部門主理人、市場營銷等職位,直至1975年退休。 因為父親是古董商,且工作和藝術設計相關,需要頻頻往返美國與 歐洲出差,施托尼茨自年輕起便養成了逛古董店的愛好。三四十年代, 美國經濟大蕭條,又被捲入二戰,藝術品價格低廉,施氏在力所能及的 範圍里添置了不少藏品,諸如版畫、家具、裝飾藝術等等。1935年,他 的父親去世,此後兩年,施氏開始專心收藏瓷器并大量買入。五十年 代中期,子女長大成人,他重拾收藏興趣,購置了不少精美瓷器——儘 管此時美國經濟復甦,中國藝術品的價格十倍於前。1985年他的妻子海 倫去世,之後,施托尼茨遷居至曼哈頓中城東。這一帶匯聚了大量古董 店、拍賣行,直到今天,仍有相當多還在營業。施氏在這裡度過了生命 的最後十年,以集郵和收藏瓷器為樂。1995年去世后,藏品由孫女南茜 繼承,即本次拍賣之委託方。 施氏收藏的這批單色釉,小巧簡練而色彩紛呈,如紅有霽紅、鈞 紅、珊瑚紅;黃有嬌黃、米黃、鱔魚黃;藍有霽藍、天藍、孔雀藍;此 外又有爐鈞釉、茄皮紫、郎窯綠、梅子青…皆質韞珠光,瑩潤如鏡。而 器型稍大者如92號寶石紅釉高足盤,95號銅鎏金鑲檸檬黃龍紋碗、96號 茶葉末釉獅耳方壺、113號粉青三足爐,亦十分秀雅可愛。蘭斛藏香,梅 瓶浸玉,可得案頭清玩之趣。

“寧壽宮備用”御製蓬萊仙景盤金絲栽絨宮毯 长方形毯身,盤金絲做地,對织蓬萊仙閣,面闊三間,四角攢尖頂,檐脊貼藍色琉璃 瓦,當中一對瑞鹤盘旋,外環五彩祥雲,滿纏紅藍雙蓮,四隅抱角魚龍出水,小邊一白地五 彩西藩蓮,一金地红回纹,大邊粉地飾八寶,上下襯海水江崖,織有“寧壽宮備用”字樣。 棉經緯,絲栽絨,波斯結,毛料紧实厚密,织工规整精细,装饰穠艳富麗,是典型的官坊北 京毯。 宮毯是清廷不可或缺的裝飾品,諸凡鋪設、屏障、盧帳、居室均有所需。自康乾二帝平 定準部,拓地二萬餘里,并收天山南北,西南經濟復蘇,當地特產地毯業重新興起。據嘉慶 《大清會典·事例》記載,雍正元年起,便由如意館畫師設計樣稿,發往新疆、西藏、北 京等地官營作坊織造,是為官坊毯。圖案除皇帝專用的黃地龍紋,另有在寧夏毯基礎上植入 吉祥紋樣的“北京式”,即本品一類——四方角隅托中心奎,外圍至少大小兩道邊,寓意吉 祥,構圖嚴謹,配色考究。這種“北京毯”多為手工栽絨,分絲、毛兩種。雍、乾兩朝,毛 栽絨毯出於北京,絲栽絨毯出于新疆。自嘉慶起,兩種栽絨毯多出于北京造辦處。官坊北京 毯取西北、蒙古最好的地毯羊毛和植物染料,由手藝超絕的毯匠,用彩線高密度織出,所 謂“一丈毯,千兩絲”。又有混編金銀線者,名曰“盤金絲”,成毯“彩丝茸茸香拂拂,线 软花虚不胜物”。 清宮毯存世約三百張,多由博物館和私人收藏。其中僅126張保留所屬宮殿字樣,以三 大殿(太和,中和,保和)及乾清、寧壽、景仁三宮最常見。此毯天邊織有“寧壽宮備用” 款,“備用”表專用意,系清宫旧物無疑。寧壽宮位於紫禁城內廷外東路,南三所北,原為 明仁壽宮,康熙時改為太后寢宮。乾隆晚年擴建,擬作归政后頤養之所,因此仿乾清宮制, 前設皇極殿、寧壽宮,為太上皇的內廷,后寢中接養性殿、樂壽堂、頤和軒;東接暢音閣、 慶壽堂、景福宮、佛日、梵華二樓;西路即為著名的乾隆花園,是太上皇生活起居之處。嘉 慶元年新正,傳位授寶典后,乾隆在此舉辦“千叟宴”,臨朝受賀。但寧壽全宮建成后,高 宗未及居住便殯天,此後曾用作薩滿祀神之處。光緒年間德宗親政后,慈禧太后遷居於此, 并于皇極殿舉行六十壽辰賀禮,去世后在此停靈、治喪。民國時期故宮博物院以此宮為文物 陳列室,五十年代起設鐘錶館、珍寶館,三年前年增設石鼓館。 織有“寧壽宮備用”邊款的宮毯,可見紐約大都會博物館藏五龍毯(編號63.58)。團 龍中心奎,四方龍戲珠抱角,毯心與大邊為纏枝花卉紋,兩道小邊為回字紋,棉經緯,絲栽 絨,尺寸較本拍品大(396.2 x 281.9 cm)。 近年拍賣紀錄中寧壽宮款官坊北京毯有兩例:其一為香港佳士得2002年4月29日中国宫 廷御制精品專場583號,“寧壽宮”三字款,毯心盤金絲作地,飾八寶紋,抱角龍紋拱奎心龍 戲珠,大邊纏枝蓮,小邊寶藍色地,尺寸與本品相近(274 x 178cm)。另一例為紐約佳士得 2015年9月17日黎氏家族珍藏專場962號,“寧壽宮備用”款,毯心盤金絲為地,織丹凤朝阳 圖,小邊寶藍色回字紋,大邊皮球花及纏枝花卉紋,尺寸較本拍品小(213.4 x 123.2 cm) 。 與本拍品紋樣相似的宮毯,進年拍賣記錄可見倫敦蘇富比三例:其一2006年11月8日中國 藝術精品專場95號,“祈年殿備用”款,毯心祥雲作紅藍雙色,圍方形,雙鶴寶藍色,褪色 嚴重,尺寸略大(279 x 192cm)。另一2011年11月9日中國藝術精品專場133號“儲秀宮備 用”款,裝飾繁複,尺寸極大(373.4 x 284.5cm)。又一2013年11月6日中國藝術精品專場 296號“中和殿備用”款,褪色較重,亦為同紋樣而大尺寸 者(374 x 275cm),此毯2015年 春于北京保利“垂裳”專場再次上拍。 私人收藏方面,澳門美獅美高梅藏有清宮御製地毯28張,其中有一“慈寧宮備用”款, 與本品紋樣類似而尺寸大(376 x 276 cm)。另有一尺寸較小者(245 x 163 cm),與本拍 品紋樣、配色、用料等細節幾乎相同。 本拍品來自芝加哥Thomas Bierbrodt先生的家族收藏。由Bierbrodt前妻的祖父母上世 紀三十年代末自中國帶回。這對夫婦婚前環球旅行至中國時,正逢抗日戰爭爆發前夕,社會 動蕩人心惶惶,不少國人為求生計變賣家產,此毯因而被人兜售。同行友人中有一位Olsen先 生,是芝加哥知名地攤商,家族產業Olson Rug & Flooring自1874年營業至今,在Olsen的建 議下,二人將地毯買下并帶回美國。 此毯來源清晰,品相上佳,祥雲繁花托起的仙山樓閣,既合蓬萊之意,又暗含“九天閶 闔開宮殿,萬國衣冠拜冕旒”的皇權思想,紋樣端正高貴,配色華麗而不失沉穩,是少見的 清宮御製地毯。

THE STANLEY FIELD EARLY MING BOWL Despite lasting only ten years, the Xuande emperor’s reign was especially known for the prolific production of porcelain wares bearing his name. The quality and forms of these blue and white pieces marks a new appreciation for domestic imperial Ming wares as opposed to the vessels of the previous Yongle reign (1403-1424) that were mostly designated for trade and tribute. The unique hexafoil shape of the present bowl may have been inspired by earlier Song Dynasty ceramics. Because of their delicate form and elegant design, these bowls have been admired and sought after by connoisseurs and institutions of Chinese art throughout the 20th century. This early Ming bowl once belonged to Stanley Field (1875-1964), the renowned Chicago philanthropist, banker, civic leader and businessman. His uncle Marshall Field (1836-1906) was the founder of Marshall Field and Company, the largest wholesale and retail operation in the world during the latter half of the 19th century. The Field family was also responsible for developing the Field Museum of Natural History and donating the grounds to the University of Chicago. Stanley Field’s father Joseph (Marshall’s brother) was based in England and in charge of sourcing European merchandise for the family business. Even though Stanley Field worked for Marshall Field and Company throughout his life – from a messenger boy to a top executive – one of his passions was in showcasing Chicago on the international stage. His greatest civic achievements included establishing transcendent spaces like Grant Park and Shedd Aquarium. Some of Stanley Field’s most important work came during his 58-year tenure as the president of the Field Museum of Natural History. It was during these years that the museum transformed itself from a modest anthropological museum containing holdover objects from the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago to one of the leading museums in the world. Stanley Field approved numerous field expeditions, where renowned anthropologists would travel to remote locations on every continent to gather archaeological artifacts from past civilizations. The anthropologist in charge of the China expeditions was the famed German Dr. Berthold Laufer (1874-1934). Fluent in numerous East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan and Mongolian, Laufer was the curator of Anthropology at the Field Museum from 1908 until his sudden death in 1934. He led the museum’s Blackstone Exhibition in 1908 and the Captain Marshall Field Expedition in 1923.

In total, these trips brought back over 19,000 Chinese objects for the museum. Similar examples of this type of bowl can be found in many major museums around the world including the Palace Museum, Beijing; the National Palace Museum, Taipei; the Shanghai Museum; the David Collection, London; the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco and the Art Institute of Chicago. Over the past ten years, similar examples of this lobed bowl have been sold at auction including an example from the Collection of a Japanese Pharmaceutical Company, purchased from Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 10 April 2006, lot 1660, and sold again at Sotheby’s New York ‘Ming: The Intervention of Imperial Taste’, 14 March 2017, lot 7; one from The Pilkington Collection of Chinese Art sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 6 April 2016, lot 20; another formerly from the Manno Museum Osaka, purchased from Christie’s Hong Kong, 24 April 2004, lot 952, was sold again at Christie’s Hong Kong ‘The Imperial Sale: Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art’, 31 May 2010, lot 1856; and finally, an example reputedly from the Summer Palace, Beijing, formerly from the collection of K.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Leslie Hindman Auctioneers can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Leslie Hindman Auctioneers recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Leslie Hindman Auctioneers provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Leslie Hindman Auctioneers a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:

$0 - $200 ............................................. $10 $200 - $500 ............................................. $25 $500 - $1,000 .......................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ........................................ $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ........................................ $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ...................................... $500 $10,000 - $20,000 ................................... $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 ................................... $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ................................. $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 ............................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 ......... Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding Live bidding at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is by paddle only. Please register for a paddle at the entrance of the sales room. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer. Online Bidding Leslie Hindman Auctioneers allows absentee and live bidding through our website at www.lesliehindman.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at www.lesliehindman.com. Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may use the absentee bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will exercise written order bids and telephone bids at no additional charge. Lots will always be sold as inexpensively as is allowed other bids and reserves as are on our books or bids executed in competition from the audience. Tax Exempt Notice Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are tax exempt as permitted by law.

CONDITIONS OF SALE HINDMAN LLC AS AGENT

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Hindman LLC as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

BEFORE THE SALE

Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Hindman LLC and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Hindman LLC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Hindman LLC has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Hindman LLC before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Hindman LLC, and that Hindman LLC will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Hindman LLC. Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Hindman LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Hindman LLC sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

AFTER THE SALE Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium and the applicable sales tax added to the final total. The buyer’s premium for all purchases except via live online bidding is twenty-five (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. The buyer’s premium for purchases made via live online bidding is twenty-six (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty-one percent (21%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and thirteen percent (13%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000.

Payment The buyer must pay the entire amount due (including the hammer price, buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and other charges) no later than 5 p.m. on the seventh (7) business day following the sale. Payment in U.S. dollars may be made with cash; bank check or cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. bank; money order; or wire transfer unless other arrangements are made with Hindman LLC.

Property will not be released to the shipper without the buyer’s written consent and until payment has been made in full. Packing and handling of purchased lots by us is at the entire risk of the purchaser, and Hindman LLC will have no liability of any loss or damage to such items. Non Payment If we do not receive payment in full, in good cleared funds, within seven (7) business days following the sale, we are entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to any additional actions available to us by law: a.) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days of the total purchase price b.) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law c.) to cancel the sale d.) to resell the property publicly or privately with such terms as we find appropriate, to resell the property at public auction without reserve, and with the purchaser liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, our commission on both sales at our regular rate, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
