192. A Rare and Fine Tibetan Nobility Carpet, 19th C., 8'1'' x 13'9''. Woven with a wool foundation on a custom large loom. This exceptional piece exemplifies the peak of production for Tibetan Nobility and Aristocrats at the end of the 19th century. Most large format rugs (Sab-Den) from old Tibet were typically woven in narrow panels on standard width looms (approx. 3 ft) and joined together. The making of this example on a purpose-built large loom and the drawing of a relatively sophisticated central medallion that seems to be inspired by a non-Tibetan design is suggestive that this carpet was commissioned by a person of means. Stylistically, the composition of this piece features early Art Deco elements that could have been inspired by artistic trends of the period from Shanghai or, possibly Europe. $12,000-16,000 Start: $10,000 82

228. Poncho, Lake Titicaca, Late 19th C. Fine condition heirloom festival poncho from Lake Titicaca. The field design of alternating broad stripes is also seen on the mourning ponchos from this area.

Formerly the fringe attachment was covered by an applique cloth cover now removed. 3'11'' x 4'11'' (119 x 150 cm). Weight: 3 lbs. Provenance: Jack Cassin Collection. $1000-3000, Sold: $2690

230. Pre-Inca Tunic, Certified: 1207-1299 CE. A spectacular and rare ancient Aymara Tunic from the 13th century, most likely prior to Inca domination and during a florescent period for Altiplano culture which is seldom represented in the material record. Note the dynamism of the design which, as a warp faced weaving using traditional technology, required the weaver to employ many scaffold wefts around which to interlock the changes in warp color. This creates a “faux tapestry” look while produced on well known equipment. The seven color changes in the minimalist figure linking heaven and earth and the four mountains created in their void reference the most important and recurrent daily cycles. The subtle compression of the highly abstract figure at the midpoint echoes earlier Wari cultural ideas.

This textile is a tremendous statement of power. Unsurpassable, quintessential, and finally timeless design woven into a technically superior tunic. 2'5'' x 2'5'' (74 x 74 cm). Weight: 2 lbs. Provenance: Jack Cassin Collection. $2000-10,000, Sold: $3200

96

231. Poncho, Mapuche People, 18th/19th C. A rare style of indigo poncho of the Mapuche. Not the more typical tie and dye but instead a complex discontinuous warp faced weaving involving many scaffold wefts. Woven in one loom panel, the neck slit is created with discontinuous wefting while the fringe is composed of the unwoven twisted warp ends after the cloth is cut from the loom. The multiple wefts are braided at the outer weft for edge integrity and supplemental wefts were inserted at the neck to reinforce that opening. Some damage from age but the deep blue almost black, indigo derived color represents a peak in cultural style. Hand spun and woven from indigenous sheep’s wool.

3'1'' x 4'7'' (94 x 140 cm). Weight: 5 lbs.

Provenance: Jack Cassin Collection. $2000-5000, Sold: $3330

232. Vicuna Poncho, Department of La Paz, 19th C. Superbly balanced cerem onial poncho of the Hilakata or headman of the village. The clothes designate the office holder and this poncho along with a vicuna scarf, vicuna hat and silver “Baston de Manda” cane would be worn by the village elder who is assuming the office for a term of service.

The burden and prestige are high for the office holder and considered part of a life well lived. Wild vicuna fiber, formerly restricted to the Inca himself, is typically left undyed with the white stripes made of long chest hair and the purposely variegated tan field is composed of body fiber. The consummate artist / weaver who created and executed this textile deliberately chose each warp, to realize each stripe’s size, color, and placement.

Modern suits made from vicuna can run into the tens of thousands of dollars for this finest of fibers. 5'2'' x 4'7'' (157 x 140 cm). Weight: 4 lbs. Provenance: Jack Cassin Collection. $1000-3000 , Sold: $3455

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE The property offered and sold through New Material Culture, Inc.’s (hereinafter MC) public auctions (hereinafter the Property) shall be offered and sold pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below (hereinafter the Agreement). This Agreement constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions pursuant to which all Property is offered for sale. By bidding at the auction,whether in person, by agent, in writing, by telephone, internet bid or any other means, the buyer of the Property (hereinafter the Buyer) agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

PROPERTY SOLD AS IS. Except as expressly stated below in the LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION, all Property is sold as is, where is, with all faults. Neither MC nor any consignor makes any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied with respect to the Property or the correctness of the catalogue or any other description of the Property. In no event shall MC or the consignor be responsible for the correctness, nor be deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin or condition of the Property. No statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation.

LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION. With regard ONLY to descriptions of fine art in which a specific artist is named as the artist, all information contained in the catalogue concerning the authenticity of said Property is guaranteed for a period of 30 days from the date of the sale. If, within that 30 day period, Buyer has complied with all Terms and Conditions of Sale regarding timely payment and collection of said Property and would like to dispute the authenticity of said Property, Buyer can submit, at his own expense, two written professional opinions regarding authenticity by recognized authenticators, jointly approved by both MC and Buyer. In the event said Property is judged inauthentic by both expert authenticators, said Property may be returned if it is in the same condition as at time of sale and the Buyer’s full purchase price will be refunded. Refunds shall not include cost of transportation, insurance or other expenses that Buyer may have incurred. This limited right of rescission is available only to the original auction Buyer and does not extend or transfer to any subsequent owner, heir, agent transferee or any other third party.

WITHDRAWAL OF PROPERTY. MC reserves the right to withdraw any Property at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute.

COPYRIGHT AND REPRODUCTION RIGHTS. MC and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the Buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any Property sold. MC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the Property sold in the catalogue. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for MC relating to Property, including the contents of the catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of MC and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else, without MCs prior written consent.

EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY. All Property is available for examination prior to bidding. The Buyers bidding signifies that the Buyer has examined the Property as fully as desired or has chosen not to examine the Property. MC recommends that prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest prior to bidding.

BIDDING RESERVES. Some of the Property in the sale is offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and MC below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the low estimates listed. Bidding will begin at a price appropriate in the auctioneers discretion. The auctioneer always reserves the right to withdraw Property for any reason he deems appropriate.

ORDER OF BIDS. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. MC reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots.

ABSENTEE AND PHONE BIDDING. Absentee and phone bidding are permitted by prospective bidders who cannot be present at the auction. Please complete the Absentee Bid and/or Phone Reservation form. Absentee bids are executed competitively and confidentially.

All reservations for phone bidding are held in the strictest confidence and must be received by 5 pm EST the day before the auction. No additional phone bids will be accepted at such time including additions when speaking with a staff person on the phone. Written absentee bids may be submitted on the Absentee Bid Form up to 30 lots before the item comes up for auction. Leaving an absentee or phone bid on a lot indicates your willingness to open the bidding at one half the printed estimate, and gives the auctioneer the authority to open the bidding at that level, or to open the bidding on a lot with a printed reserve at the reserve price. In the case of identical absentee bids, the bid received first will prevail. Bids left on liveauctioneers.com are not executed until the item is offered in the live auction and the order in which they are received is not a factor.

CUT BIDS. We do not accept cut bids, (bids less than the last interval) from the floor or from absentee bidders including phone and internet bidders. Thus, it is possible that a lot could go to another bidder for less than an absentee bid. For example, if the bids are progressing in $10 dollar increments and an absentee falls at a $5 increment we will not take the bid since it is less than the $10 increment.

Following are general guidelines for bidding increments: $0-$100 by $25 increments $100-$500 by $25 increments $500-$1,000 by $50 increments $1,000 $3,000 by $100 increments $3,000-$5,000 by $250 increments $5,000-$10,000 by $500 increments $10,000-$30,000 by $1,000 increments $30,000-$50,000 by $2,500 increments $50,000-$100,000 by $5,000 increments $100,000-$200,000 by $10,000 increments Above $200,000 auctioneers discretion

The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. At such time as the auctioneer has declared Property sold to a given Buyer, said Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the Property, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyers Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as MC may require.

All Property purchased must be paid for no later than 5 pm EST on the seventh business day following the sale. MC may impose, and the Buyer agrees to pay, a monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any Property not paid by the Buyer within thirty (30) days of the date of sale. MC reserves the right to rescind any sale of Property in the event payment is not received within seven (7) business days of the sale.

Items not collected by the 30th day following the sale may be sold by MC or sent by MC to a public warehouse at the sole risk of, and charge to, the Buyer and MC may prohibit the Buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or purchaser in any future sale. No Property may be removed from MCs premises until the Buyer has paid in full the purchase price including Buyers premium. MC shall have no liability for any damage to Property left on its premises after the auction. A defaulting Buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to MC a continuing security interest of first priority in any Property or money of, or owing to such Buyer in MCs possession, and MC may retain and apply such Property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to MC. MC shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code.

PACKING AND SHIPPING. Buyer agrees that packing and shipping are done at the Buyers risk and that Buyer will pay in advance all packing expenses, materials, carrier fees and insurance charges. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. MC will have no liability for any loss or damage to shipped items. Upon request, MC will provide a list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas.

TAXES. All purchases are subject to Pennsylvania sales tax unless the Buyer possesses a Pennsylvania sales tax exemption number.

Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Pennsylvania if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a Pennsylvania exemption number prior to the auction. Buyer is responsible for any and all tariffs, taxes and assessments that might be made on the Property. International Buyers are responsible for tariffs, taxes, or assessments of shipped items to the Buyers country.

IMPORT/EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the United States, such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of Property from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of said Property.

No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of MC in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of MC on any future occasion. © 2022 Material Culture, All Rights Reserved
