charles loloma Charles Loloma (1921-1991) is one of the most influential and sought after Native American artists of the 20th Century. Loloma began his artistic career studying ceramics at the School of American Craftsman where he learned modern techniques and construction methods that he
applied to traditional Native motifs. He soon transitioned from ceramics to jewelry and while
he claimed to be a self-taught silversmith, he drew inspiration and knowledge from Navajo and Pueblo silversmiths.
Early on, Loloma was intrigued with precious stones but restricted by finances he encouraged his early clients to give him old jewelry which he broke down and revived with his unique designs.
As his career developed he invested in the finest stones, jewels and woods from around the
world. These exotic materials became central to his signature style of inlaid lapis, ivory, gold, pearls and diamonds with traditional materials such as turquoise and coral. Such techniques and combination of elements create a mosaic of color and pattern and strike a balance between
darkness and light. Always conscious of how his works would enhance a space, Loloma crafted each piece to a specific purpose; a cuff sitting precisely on the wrist, earrings designed to accentuate a smile, or in one instance a window to bathe a room in tinted light.
Charles Loloma’s work is widely celebrated as a representation of Fine American Design. His works were presented as gifts to royalty and heads of state by President Lyndon Johnson.
Loloma was chosen as the first artist to be featured in the 1974 PBS series of American Indian
Artists. His work was featured in the San Francisco MH de Young Memorial Museum, Heard Museum, and Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York (now the museum of Arts and Design).

A Multi-Color Stained Glass Window, Charles Loloma (Hopi, 1921-1991) 1980
This rare stained glass window designed and executed by the famed Hopi artist and was commissioned for the office of a Phoenix collector in 1980. Each piece of vibrantly colored glass was hand selected by Loloma himself. After installation Loloma often stopped by the office to show off his artistry to friends and collectors. The window was uninstalled in 1987, when the building was sold, and has not been publically displayed since. Signed Loloma, lower right. Diameter 50 inches. Property from a Private Collection, Phoenix, Arizona $10,000-20,000

Thomas C. Molesworth Furniture and Decorative Arts Lots 395 – 413
The Thomas C. Molesworth Furniture in this sale is from his Post War Years and exhibits the influence of mid-20th Century interior, product and graphic design. The success of the Bauhaus and International Design movement, which was characterized by its simplicity and integration with nature, became a driving force in Molesworth furniture design. The fir poles were carefully sanded smooth and perfectly round, yet still had a distinctive grain pattern, table tops featured Formica, and were much thinner than earlier pieces. He accomplished this, but still maintained the feel of the West that his customers demanded. Molesworth collaborated with Frank Lloyd Wright on the Quintin Blair House in Cody, Wyoming 19521953, and this no doubt had a strong influence as well. Most of the furniture in this collection comes from the Paul Stock House in Cody, Wyoming, and exhibits the influence of mid-century elements. The simple designs are complimented with expansive use of wrapped leather and tacked decoration. This important period in Thomas Molesworth’s career is well covered by this collection and offers a rare opportunity to own it. Terry Winchell, Author Molesworth: The Pioneer of Western Design

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.

Guide for Prospective Buyers Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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, Inc. 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, Inc. 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 .........

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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 Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.
AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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 Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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.

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 Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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 Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. 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.
