101 Tiffany & Co. Bronze Tilt-Top Stand New York, Early 20th Century
A Tiffany & Co. bronze tilt-top stand, circular top relief decorated with signs and symbols of the zodiac, raised on three legs with detailed claw feet, three dragon heads at base with spiral spindle; impressed maker’s mark: Tiffany & Co Tilt-top tables are created to fold down so that they can take up little space when put away. Because the table top folds to display vertically, makers began to create ornate designs, like Tiffany’s “Zodiac” pattern, on these table tops. Tiffany produced the Zodiac pattern for more than thirty years, during which its design varied and was more commonly used to decorate desk items like paper racks and inkwells.

105 Matsumi Kanemitsu (American, b. 1922) Set of 5 Untitled Works, Circa 1940s
Lot of 5 works, comprising three watercolors, an ink drawing, and an oil on canvas. The three watercolors are inscribed “MK” in bottom right corner and are unframed. The ink drawing is inscribed “MK” in lower left corner and is unframed. The oil painting of a horse is unsigned and unframed. Matsumi Kanemitsu was born in Ohio in 1922 to Japanese parents. In 1925, his parents sent him to a suburb of Hiroshima, Japan, but he returned to the United States in 1940 and enlisted in the Army in 1941. After Pearl Harbor, he was sent to internment camps where he devoted his time to art with materials provided by the American Red Cross. After the war ended, Kanemitsu studied with Fernand Leger in Paris before returning to New York and working amongst abstract painters like Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and Willem de Kooning. Kanemitsu eventually moved to Los Angeles, where he worked in a variety of media, from Japanese ink drawings to painting on canvas. The works on offer represent three of Kanemitsu’s mastered techniques, including three watercolors, an ink drawing, and an oil on canvas. Two watercolors depict serene suburban landscapes, while the other depicts a man seated on a couch, pensively looking downward. The oil on canvas shows a horse bounding forward on a swirled ground to heighten the sense of motion. The final piece is an ink drawing of two figures, a man and a woman, and displays the influence of Japanese culture in Kanemitsu’s work.

109 American Folk Art Portrait of Mother and Child, Late 18th Century Possibly Ralph Earl (American, 1751-1801) Oil on canvas. Several factors including the style of the painting, the age of the canvas and the attire and grooming of the subjects have led to an attribution of this work to an American artist, possibly painted in the mid Atlantic region in the late 18th century sometime around the founding of the United States of America. Normally unsigned portraits by American artists of that day were not nearly as fine as this image. The affluent appearance of the subjects coupled with the fine quality of this painting indicate a hand more gifted and skilled than that of the normal itinerant artist. The monogram on the mother’s bracelet has not been researched. American portraitists of the 17th to early 18th centuries were working in the style of English portraiture. Portraits from this period were often painted in a stylized, two dimensional manner to idealize the subject, and objects within the portrait, like jewelry and clothing, were markers of the sitters’ wealth. In this portrait, the woman’s wealth is displayed through her clothing embellished in lace and jewelry, including a monogramed bracelet. Both the woman and child have stylized and idealized faces that are almost expressionless. They woman sits on a lavishly upholstered chair, and the inclusion of flowers could have been used to indicate youth and beauty. Source: Folk Art Museum, New York, N.Y., “Early Portraits.” Condition: Some cracquelure to the paint around the perimeter of the canvas, most noticeably at the top (extending apprx. 4” down), old relining, probably 19th century along with inpainting in a few small areas as seen in the photos, apparently the painting has been lightly cleaned, further restoration should not be necessary.
