Note: At the turn of the twentieth century, RenéJules Lalique began his career in glass making by incorporating small, ornate pieces into jewelry. After many years as a successful jewelry designer, he shifted his focus to creating decorative pieces for the home beginning with small objects such as perfume bottles and transitioning to larger pieces such as vases and bowls. Tourbillons, French for whirlwinds, represents one of Lalique’s earliest vase designs and incorporates the contemporary, abstract motif inherent to the industrial era in which he developed his highly skilled glass-pressing technique. The vase presented here is a later edition of the original circa 1925 design included in the collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Corning Museum of Glass. References: Elliot, Kelley Jo.

77. Charles Euphrasie Kuwasseg (French, 1838-1904), “An Artist Sketching the Matterhorn, beside the Headwaters of the River Marmore”, 1893, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, 51 1/4 in. x 38 1/2 in., massive original giltwood and gesso exhibition frame. $8000/12000 Note: The picture offered here is one of the largest, most successful and important of this popular 19thc. artist’s paintings. Kuwasseg is best known for his multitude of small views along French, Netherlandish, and Italian coasts and coastal rivers. With its soaring height exceeding 51 in. (over 1.3

meters), Kuwasseg’s pictorial achievement offered here is not only to give the Matterhorn the breathtaking scope its landscape demands, but also to afford this fabled peak the immense expanse of space and sky that it so memorably dominates. While the figure of the sketching artist, observed by a shepherd in this painting, might suggest a selfportrait, Kuwasseg’s own more expansive view in this picture is taken from slightly farther down the Alpine torrent that shapes the Val Tournanche, above the Italian town of Breuil. The view is thus from the southwest. The famous village of Zermatt, in Switzerland, lies just over the pass (seen here in the middle distance) of the Pennine Alps, the

highest in all that noble chain. The remote Alpine farm that provides a backdrop to the sketching artist and herdsman is thus at the very crest of the Pennine Alps, in addition to being placed almost squarely on the international border between the Val d’Aosta, above Torino, and the Swiss canton of the Valais. Kuwasseg reached this unforgettable vantage just over a quarter-century after the Matterhorn was first scaled, on July 14, 1865, by the young British artist Edward Whymper (1840-1911).

119. After Claude Gellée “Claude Lorrain” (French, working in Italy, c. 1604/5-1682), “A Courtly Couple Making Music in a Pastoral Landscape with Ruins”, late 17th c., oil on canvas, unsigned, inscribed en verso of stretcher “Richard Wilson, R.A.”, artist/title plaque affixed to frame inscribed “Bernardo Cavallino (1616-1656)/The Town of Aversa”, 27 1/2 in. x 39 7/8 in., framed. $5000/7000 Note: Although this radiantly attractive and authentically 17th-century painting bears conflicting modern attributions to Wilson and Cavallino, it is actually based instead on an earlier and even greater figure, the magisterial Claude Lorrain—who, together with Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), was one of the most important European artists of his century. It is a highly competent conflation of several of Claude’s famous etchings, with extensive reference also to his very frequent and often world-renowned paintings (that artist is represented today by perhaps 50 compositions among prints, around 300 paintings, and some 1300 drawings). Its general shape, character, and silhouette are based on Claude’s Herd Returning in Stormy Weather, known in three successive states, of 1650-1651 [Russell 1982, Etching 47]. From that print comes the middle ground as well as the far horizon of this painting, with its long view over the Roman Campagna—probably the Tiber valley—culminating in the same two distant mountains and a closer hill town; even the same small trees break out against the sky on the right edge of that print. The prominent ruins on the left, however, are actually adapted very precisely from the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum, exactly as they appear in Claude’s etching of the Campo Vaccino [five states, 1636-1637, Russell 1982, Etching 26]: those tall columns, again of the Ionic order, are borrowed so precisely from Claude’s earlier print that not only the delicate diagonal tree again accompanies them, but even the same more slender distant tree once more appears between their first and second columns. The more individual elements which contribute so much to the charm of this beautiful painting, though, are the central weir (taken from several of Claude’s paintings, such as The Rest on the Flight of the early 1640s [Russell 1982, Painting 33], in Cleveland), and especially the captivating pair of a standing male piper and a female trumpeter, seated and reading from sheet-music. These arrestingly focal figures do have approximate precedents at the same scale and positions in many of Claude’s works, including the Shepherd and Shepherdess Conversing in a Landscape [Russell 1982, Etching 48, five states, c. 1652], but their conjoined music-making, in this painting, gives them a special poignancy. This fine picture clearly post-dates Claude’s works of the 1630s, 1640s, and 1650s upon which it draws; it appears to have been painted by an emulator of his style during the later 17th century.

Illustrated: Dubrow, Eileen and Richard. American Furniture of the 19th Century, 1840-1880. Atglen, PA: Schiffer, 2000, p. 205. Note: The furniture in the current lot

draws heavily from French Renaissance sources of the second half of the sixteenth century, incorporating strapwork, gadrooning, balusters, scrolls, and term figures. In the 1850s, high-end American cabinetmakers began producing elaborately carved furniture that exhibited forms and decorative motifs borrowed from the Henry II style. The firms of Julius Dessoir, Bulkley, Herter, and Alexander Roux displayed furniture at the 1853 New York Crystal Palace Exhibition that was among the earliest American examples in the French Renaissance style. These pieces reflected the influence of contemporaneous furniture made by prestigious cabinetmaking firms in Paris and followed the fashion for Henry II-inspired designs as represented in French furniture trade periodicals of the mid-nineteenth century.

The suite offered here is closely evocative of the furniture made by New York City cabinetmaker Alexander Roux, a French immigrant craftsman who produced very rich interpretations of the French Renaissance style in the mid-19th century. Labeled examples by Roux exhibit the same elaborate detail, fine craftsmanship, and well-executed carving that characterize the furniture presently offered.

$8000/12000 Note: The sophisticated overall quality of the bookcase cabinet in the current lot suggests the work of New York City cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe, who produced elegant and refined interpretations of the French Empire style in the 1820s. This case shares several features with two examples of writing furniture firmly attributed to Duncan Phyfe, one a secretary bookcase most likely made about 1822 for Robert Donaldson of New York City and Fayetteville, North Carolina, the other a fall-front desk made in 18201825. All three pieces feature columns with similar gilt-brass bases and capitals, marble tops with reeded edges, and carved lion’s paw feet combined with acanthus leaves that curl forward where they overlap blocks below the columns. The bookcase cabinet presently offered is more closely related to the secretary bookcase produced for Robert Donaldson in regard of its two-tier arrangement and the “attic” between the cornice and marble top.

Note: The daybed offered here was produced by one of the most innovative American furniture manufacturers of the nineteenth century, George Jakob Hunzinger, a German-immigrant craftsman who established a reputation for highly inventive furniture based on the twenty-one patents he secured for table, chair and bed designs. In 1876, Hunzinger obtained a patent for weaving flat metal wire into a grid pattern in which the wire rested in grooves or channels in the frames of seats and backs. The flat metal strips were entirely wrapped with a woven fabric that softened the industrial quality of the wire. This wire mesh essentially substituted for traditional upholstery consisting of coil springs and layers of stuffing. Hunzinger used his innovative woven wire mesh in a variety of seating furniture, including armchairs, side chairs, rocking chairs, daybeds, and settees. The designs of the frames of the chairs, settees and daybeds were just as inventive as the woven wire seats and backs. The daybed presented here represents one of Hunzinger’s most restrained designs for furniture with woven wire in the Eastlake or Modern Gothic style. Ornament is restricted to the ball turnings, applied bosses on the crest rail, and conical terminations of the arms. Geometry predominates in a design that seems to pay no homage to the past in a period when historical styles pervaded the furniture industry. The innovative daybed with woven wire seat and back is regarded as one of Hunzinger’s rarest designs, represented by a only a few surviving examples in both public and private collections.

Plate 202 of Pierre de la Mésangère’s 1802 Collection de meubles et objets de goût illustrates a vide poche with a trestle base similar to that seen here. The fine lotus carved stretcher on this table closely relates to that on tables designed by George Bullock (published by Ackerman in 1824) and George Smith. The strongest design precedent for this “occasional” table appears in Thomas King’s 1829 Modern Style of Cabinet Work Exemplified and is described in the “old French style” as having a lyre-form support comprised of opposing C-scrolls, as seen here. Extensive English precedents for this form are visible in games tables designed by Thomas Sheraton, a table published by Rudolf Ackerman in 1814, and a 1820 “occasional table” design by Richard Brown.

The sophisticated quality of the piece offered in the current lot suggests the work of a New York City furniture maker such as John Henry Belter. The fluid serpentine outline and carved naturalistic decoration of the seat rail of the banquette here are reminiscent of details found on seat rails of sofas and méridiennes made by Belter.

162. Giuseppe Magni (Italian/Florence, 1869-1956), “Mother and Daughter Feeding Chicks [Scena domestica con pollame]”, c. 1900, oil on canvas, signed lower left, hand-inscribed in brown paint “Made in Italy” en verso of original canvas, 38 in. x 28 3/8 in., period frame. $10000/20000 Provenance: Sold to Benefit the Amarillo Museum of Art, Amarillo, TX. Note: Born at Pistoia in the final year of the Risorgimento, or unification of Italy, Giuseppe Magni was trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, where his master was the very celebrated Romantic-Realist painter Antonio Ciseri (1821-1891). Magni was an early success, already winning an international competition in 1900 (the approximate date of the painting offered here). His rather rare pictures are consistently devoted to domestic scenes around the peasant farmhouses of the Tusco-Emilian Apennines and foothills, most particularly to their closely observed interiors, of which the present example is one of his masterworks. He specialized in the depiction of young families, whose members are always treated with sympathy and touching warmth. His small oeuvre contains several close replications of subjects, and especially of settings; but whereas he sometimes painted simpler versions of the present kitchen interior—usually at smaller scale—he executed only one other recorded version of Feeding the Chicks (sold at Sotheby’s New York, April 18, 2007, lot 129: a picture of almost exactly these same dimensions, oriented horizontally to include a door in the left-hand wall, but with very much less detail and finish). In this picture, the out-of-doors is suggested only by a verdant glimpse through the window; in the corner, a large quarter-round earthenware pot holds fresh herbs, convenient to the fireplace; another large vessel or basket sits on a triangular shelf within the cooking embrasure, while pots and pans hang nearby, and a large copper jug stands on the window-shelf. The kitchen’s furniture is restricted in this instance to one large and one small chair, plus the stool on which the mother sits. Her superb 162 pyramidal composition is augmented by surely the finest figure of a child in all of Magni’s work: posed with consummate grace, the daughter’s pose is reminiscent of the best figural renditions of the Italian Renaissance. Clothed only in a simple white shift, her radiant blondness plays brilliantly against her mother’s orange kerchief and dress, with a laced blue apron-like robe, white blouse, and orange-striped, blue-toed clogs: congruent bright patches of orange and blue appear in loose draperies thrown over the smaller chair. The chickens themselves are more tightly grouped by this painting’s vertical format, and decisively linked to ‘the hand that feeds them’. Throughout this enchanting picture—whose genial understanding and descriptive richness certainly place it among Magni’s very best works—there appears an inexhaustible repertory of appealing detail, as well as a deeply satisfying domestic intimacy.

The seats of both the child’s chair presently offered and the piano stool are of the same width and depth, indicating that Belter adapted this combination of seat and back to several seating types.

Note: In the late nineteenth century, marquetry decoration incorporating the usage of metals embellished furniture produced by several New York City cabinetmaking firms, including Pottier and Stymus Manufacturing Company and Herts Brothers. It is known that the Philadelphia furniture manufacturer, Gottlieb Vollmer, also used marquetry with inlays of metal to decorate his furniture. The earliest examples of American furniture to feature marquetry with metal inlays date from the 1870s and are usually designed in styles associated with the Aesthetic Movement. Typically brass, and occasionally also copper, was combined with marquetry of various woods. Several firms enriched this combination by introducing yet another metal, pewter, as well as mother-of-pearl. There are several labeled pieces of furniture decorated with marquetry incorporating brass, copper, pewter, and mother-of-pearl by the New York firm of Herts Brothers, including a cabinet in the collection of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. Herts Brothers most likely manufactured the sofa and matching armchair offered here. Not only does this partial suite bear the type of marquetry associated with the firm, but also the arm supports mirror details found in the legs of a c.1880 Aesthetic Movement rosewood center table branded “Herts Brothers.” Reference: Donald C.

191 191. An Important American Classical Mahogany and Figured Maple Cylinder Desk and Bookcase, c. 1820-1830, attributed to John Needles, Baltimore, upper case with scrolled pediment centering turned finial, molded cornice, plain frieze, two mirrored doors, two short drawers; lower case with roll top enclosing small drawers, turned columnar legs, ball feet, height 80 1/2 in., width 40 1/2 in., depth 22 in. $6000/8000 Provenance: A Louisiana collector, acquired from Carswell Berlin, New York. Note: A Baltimore origin of the lot offered here is indicated by the unique form, in which the desk section is raised on columnar legs, leaving open space beneath the writing surface, an area that is typically occupied by a case of drawers as seen in contemporaneous desks and bookcases produced in other American cabinetmaking centers such as Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Further

confirmation of Baltimore as the place of manufacture is provided by the secondary woods of the drawers, specifically the use of mahogany for the sides and backs and poplar for the bottoms. The maker of this desk and bookcase was most likely John Needles (active 1810-1852), one of Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preeminent furniture craftsmen in the early nineteenth century. Needles often favored a combination of light maple and contrasting mahogany, as seen here. The legs on this desk are similar to those on a labeled pier table in Center Hill Mansion, part of the Petersburg Museums in Petersburg, Virginia; on a labeled chest of drawers owned by the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, Maryland; and on a firmly attributed writing table and bookcase, also part of the collection of the Maryland Historical Society. Furthermore, the distinctive outline of the scrolled pediment, suggestive of the crest of a wave, is seen in the pediment surmounting a labeled cylinder desk and bookcase exhibited in Baltimore, 1993.

It looks across the River Wensum, just above its confluence with the Yare; the 13th-c. Bishop’s Bridge, in the near middle ground, is to this day one of the oldest bridges in Britain that still carries traffic. It surveys the grassy expanse of The Close, stretching to the left (or south) toward a now-disused canal, whose junction with the main river, at the Watergate, was in 1743 the site of Pull’s Ferry (possibly represented by the small craft beside the left-hand boat with the red sail). Beyond are the low buildings of the Deanery, Schools, and Courts, surrounding the stillspectacular Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, whose Norman tower is surmounted by a 313-foot spire, exceeded in height only by Salisbury. The ancient town of Norwich is beautifully displayed across the middle distance, beyond which appear the low hills of Norfolk; the famous ‘Norfolk Broads,’ adjoining the North Sea -- toward which the painted protagonists are gesturing -- stretch out behind the artist, to the east.

229. Attributed to Samuel Henry Gordon Alken (British, 1810-1894), “The First Omnibus: Johnson’s Conveyance Carriage”, 1829, oil on canvas, unsigned, artist, title and date on frame plaque, 14 in. x 18 in., period gilt frame. $1200/1800 Note: This interesting and characteristic painting is plausibly attributed to S.H.G. Alken (called Henry Alken Jr.), although such coaching pictures of the late 1820s and after are hard to distinguish from the work of his ailing father Henry Thomas Alken (1785-1851), or sometimes even from those of his grandfather Samuel Alken (1756-1815). In this particular case the grandson of their Anglo-Danish family is strongly indicated by the correct date of the subject: a London press report of July 4, 1829 noted that “The new vehicle, called the Omnibus, commenced running this morning from Paddington to the City.” Indeed the vehicle is exactly blazoned with its route: from Paddington Station (terminus of the equally new Great Western Railway) it ran along the Edgware Road to Oxford Street, where just past Oxford Circus it encountered -- as its roof signage testifies -- a famous ‘assembly’ venue called The Pantheon (originally by James Wyatt, 1772, rebuilt in 1812 as a theatre); thence it proceeded directly by way of Holborn, Newgate Street, and Cheapside to the Royal Exchange, at the Bank of England. [Today virtually the same itinerary may be accomplished by transferring from a Circle or District tube train to the Metropolitan line; the distance is a bit over four miles.] This appealing view catches the “Conveyance Carriage” at full gallop -- its position and very stylish coachman at their appropriate positions -- beside one of the many London parks or squares along its route.

229 230. A Pair of Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Pattern Limoges Porcelain Oyster Plates, c. 1880, Haviland & Co., Limoges, France, designed by artist Theodore Russell Davis, fully marked, diameter 8 1/2 in.

who was responsible for so many White House china designs, described this plate in his 1879 catalogue: “The Oyster Plate will be an acceptable invitation. The rich effect of the design is enhanced by the method adopted in its manufacture. The colors are laid upon the china clay under the glaze. China, color and glaze are fired at the same time, producing an effect and integrity of color, which is pleasant to the eye and as durable as the porcelain itself. Five BluePoint oyster shells cover the principal surface of the plate; beyond these are portrayed a cluster of the raccoon oysters, which are well known in the Southern Atlantic States... The background offers a glimpse of the ocean...” The Haviland plates presented here are a second edition of the oyster plate featured at the White House during the Hayes administration. An identical version is pictured in Martha Klapthor’s Official White House China, (Harry N. Abrams, 1999), p. 103.

236 236. An American Classical Carved Cherrywood and Figured Walnut Sideboard, c. 1825-1835, attributed to John E. Rose, Knoxville, TN or New Bloomfield, PA, backsplash centering patera over tablet inscribed “Day by Day the Manna Fell!”, two flanking compartments and drawers, rectangular top, three frieze drawers flanked by lion’s masks, four raised panel doors flanked by acanthus-carved and reeded balusters, reeded plinth base, acanthus-carved lion’s paw feet, height 55 in., width 78 1/2 in., depth 27 in.

top of the secretary, that of the sideboard is surmounted by drawers centering a backsplash. The use of earlier Federal motifs on the sideboard is seen in the oval patera surmounting the inscribed tablet in the center of the backsplash. The reeded and acanthus-carved balusters flanking the cupboard doors of the sideboard echo a similar use of cabriole-shaped reeded supports to frame the three graduated drawers of the documented 1824 Rose chest of drawers. Other details of the sideboard that

reflect the uniqueness with Rose’s work include the “hangnail” on the back of each lion’s paw foot and the simple, almost “naive” rendering of the lion’s masks flanking the drawers.

$5000/8000 Note: The eccentric rendering and distinctive combination of Federal and Empire motifs in the sideboard in the current lot is clearly attributable to John Erhart Rose (1767-1860), a Philadelphia-trained cabinetmaker who was active in Abingdon, Virginia, Knoxville, Tennessee, and New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, in the first half of the nineteenth century. Rose relocated about 1816 to Abingdon, where he established his first cabinetmaking workshop in the South. By 1820, he was practicing in Knoxville, but eventually returned to Pennsylvania in 1828, where he worked briefly before coming back to Tennessee. The surviving furniture documented to Rose, which dates primarily from the 1820s and 1830s, reflects his tendency to combine the light and delicate motifs of the earlier Federal style with the bold, sculptural ornament associated with the Empire style that was at the height of fashion at the time.

The sideboard offered here relates most closely to two signed and dated case pieces by Rose, an 1824 chest of drawers and an 1833 secretary, each in the collection of the Tennessee State Museum. Like the

Note: After studying under Paul Delaroche in France and exhibiting in the Paris Salon starting in 1842, Boisseau traveled to the United States where he spent time painting in New Orleans from 1845-1849. During this short period in his long career and under the patronage of prominent Louisiana families, Boisseau created beautiful and elaborate portraits that display the skill with which he handled the brushwork of the skin, hair, and clothing of the sitter. The lovely portrait offered here bears striking similarity to a portrait of Mrs. Hippolyte Chretien II, née Celestine Cantrelle, which Boisseau painted within the same three-month time period at Chretien Point Plantation and lends credence to the likelihood that the sitter is Marie Athenias Chretien. In Celestine’s portrait, which continues to hang over the mantel at Chretien Point Plantation today, Boisseau portrayed his subject in an off-the-shoulder white dress with corseted waist and pink camellia pinned to the bodice, holding a fan against a background of red drapery. The sitter in the lot offered here, is presented in an offthe-shoulder white dress with corseted waist, holding a camellia beside a red drapery, but also before a sweeping landscape, presumably her plantation home. Marie Athenias and Celestine were each married around 1845, likely resulting in the serendipitous commission of Boisseau to paint their wedding portraits during his tenure in the area.

Howard to design the house for Madewood, completed in 1848. Tragically, Thomas Bryan Pugh succumbed to yellow fever, having the opportunity to live in his plantation home with his wife and their fourteen children for only four years. Elizabeth eventually married William Barrow Ratliff of St. Francisville, and they resided at the Pugh family’s Locust Grove Plantation in Assumption Parish and had one child. As did many wealthy planters, the Pugh family employed notable artists of the day to paint their portraits as a means of expressing their wealth and to leave a lasting family legacy. Thomas and Eliza Pugh commissioned their neighbor, Jacques Guillaume Lucien Amans, to paint their pendant portraits in 1838, and Elizabeth’s uncle, Augustin Pugh of Highlands plantation, was said to have guaranteed the itinerant portrait painter C.R. Parker the vast sum of $60,000 to paint the various members of the extended Pugh family. The advent of the Civil War and the resulting era of Reconstruction led to the eventual demise of the antebellum way of life for the Pugh families and sugar planters in southern Louisiana.

285. A Rare American Patinated Zinc Equestrian Group of Andrew Jackson, 19th c., Cornelius and Baker, Philadelphia, after the 1853 original in Washington, DC, by Clark Mills (American, 1810-1883), stone shaped base marked “Patented, May 15, 1855”, height 22 1/8 in., length 19 in., width 8 1/2 in. $12000/18000] Note: The larger than life size original of this Clark Mills Andrew Jackson equestrian statue was unveiled in 1853 in Washington D.C.’s Lafayette Square. The sculptor ambitiously chose the moment when Jackson, reining in his rearing horse, reviews his troops prior to the pivotal Battle of New Orleans. In preparation, Mills studied the uniform worn by Jackson that was displayed in the Washington D.C. Patent Office. The statue’s design astounded everyone, since the only portions of the sculpture to touch the ground were the horse’s hind feet. According to a contemporary account, the statue was lauded for, “...exhibiting the features, the person, the apparel, the attitudes, and almost the action, which belonged to him [Jackson] at the moment of rendering the highest service to his country.” This monument was the first equestrian statue erected in the United States, as well as the first major bronze cast. A second statue was placed in Jackson Square in New Orleans in 1856 (where it was chosen over the design by local sculptor Achille Perelli), and a third in Nashville in 1880.The unveiling of the statue in New Orleans took place amidst great celebration; there was a procession of local dignitaries to the site, music, speeches (including one by Clark Mills), and a 100 cannon salute from the levee. In 1840 on the 25th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, during his last visit to the city, General Andrew Jackson had laid the cornerstone in the “Place d’Armes” where his statue was eventually to reside. Based on the “Place des Vosges” in Paris, the park was not re-named in Jackson’s honor until 1851, several years after his death. Mills is considered one of America’s first sculptors. Born in upstate New York, he ran away from home at the age of 13, eventually settling in Charleston where he began to work as an ornamental plasterer and sculptor. Initially he was hesitant to enter the contest for the Jackson Sculpture commission, fearing he was neither qualified nor experienced enough. Mills was awarded the Jackson commission based in part on the success of his bust of the revered South Carolina statesman John C. Calhoun (1782-1850). To prepare for the sculpture’s production, Mills practiced by casting large-scale bells. He eventually sold the design rights to the prominent Philadelphia firm of Cornelius and Baker (in partnership 1851-1861), a company known for its lighting fixtures and one of the pioneers in zinc casting. The company’s skills are readily evident in this rare patinated zinc reduction. The technique was so advanced and innovative that Cornelius and Baker had the process patented. Examples of Cornelius and Baker Jackson sculptures are in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., the Tennessee State Museum, the Morris Museum in Georgia, the Virginia Museum of Art in Richmond, the New York Historical Society, the Andrew Jackson Historical Park Museum in South Carolina, and The White House.

291 291. An American Art Nouveau Carved Mahogany Bergère, c. 1900, probably New York, rectangular back, foliate finials surmounting stiles, downswept molded arms with leaf carved terminals, vine carved tapered legs, foliate feet, casters, upholstered in a William Morris fabric. $1200/1800 Note: The Art Nouveau style, which originated in France, was used on a limited basis in American furniture at the turn of the twentieth century. While most furniture manufacturers in the United States tended to simplify the style, several produced florid designs that closely emulated French prototypes. One such maker was the New York City firm of George C. Flint and Company. Flint’s furniture adapted the designs of French designer Louis Majorelle, exhibiting supple curvilinear forms and flowing decoration of abstracted leaves, vines and flowers. The sophisticated handling of the French Art Nouveau style and exquisite craftsmanship evidenced by the bergère in the current lot suggest a New York origin, which is supported by the secondary woods in the frame, including ash and poplar. Like the Art Nouveau-style furniture manufactured by Flint, the bergère offered here reflects the influence of the designs of Majorelle. An elegant American Art Nouveau carved mahogany table with very similar legs decorated with writhing abstracted vines is in the collection of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia.

303

$1500/2500 Note: The étagère in the lot offered here is most likely an example of the later work of the New York City cabinetmaking and decorating firm of Herter Brothers. The firm continued to use Near Eastern-inspired styles in the design of its furniture and interior schemes until the end of the nineteenth century, as evidenced by the Turkish Room in the San Francisco residence of John D. Spreckels, decorated in 1900-1904 by Herter Brothers.

The reverse of the cabinet is stamped “182.” Many pieces of furniture by Herter Brothers are marked with either a three- or four-digit number. On November 17, 2012, Fontaine’s Auction Gallery sold as lot 15 a Colonial Revival tall-case clock impressed “Herter Brothers” and bearing a four-digit number. The case of the clock, like the étagère, appears to be a later work by the firm dating after 1885, indicating that Herter Brothers continued to number its furniture into the final years of its operation.

Illustrated: The Times Picayune, New Orleans, November 17, 1941. Exhibited: The National Art Week Exhibition, New Orleans, November 10-25, 1941. Note: Formed in 1935 by the Works Progress Administration, the Federal Art Project (FAP) was designed to bring art into the everyday lives of Americans while also providing work relief to artists. The Louisiana branch of FAP employed more than fifty artists, primarily in New Orleans, who created hundreds of original works of art that are now featured in prominent public and private collections. In both 1940 and 1941, FAP branches across the country participated in National Art Week, a nationwide set of exhibitions and sales campaigns timed for the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. The painting offered here is not only exemplary of Clarence Millet’s light-filled, impressionistic scenes of south Louisiana, but it also represents a unique moment in history as part of the National Art Week Exhibition of 1941 in New Orleans, where it was purchased by well-known art collector Elizabeth Holmes Fisher. At the time, Millet was one of the most important and prolific painters in New Orleans, where he was active in local art organizations and clubs. Mrs. Fisher began collecting artwork in 1928 with a keen eye for the old masters as well as rising American artists. In 1939, the Elizabeth Homes Fisher Gallery opened at the University of Southern California, where Fisher was the first woman to sit on the Board of Trustees (1936). The Fisher collection at USC grew to include over 70 important paintings prior to Mrs. Fisher’s death in 1955 and became the core of the Fisher Museum of Art.

Note: Collot, who had long served in a military capacity for France, was commissioned in 1796 to explore the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and to make detailed observations on geographic, economic and agricultural aspects of the Mississippi basin. The underlying mission more likely was to obtain an assessment of Spain’s military strength along the river, with the ultimate plan of returning the region to French control. Collot was arrested on espionage charges by Carondelet, the Spanish Governor of Louisiana, and deported. His observations and maps were compiled into a book and atlas which were printed in French and English in 1804, but not distributed until 1826. At the time of distribution, all but 400 copies were intentionally destroyed. The full atlas is exceedingly rare and few records of this map still exist. W 389. Georges Henri Victor Collot

Note: At the age of 45, Billy Price Carroll, already an accomplished painter in Western oils, traveled to Hong Kong where she was commissioned to paint a portrait of a local oil tycoon. There, Carroll fell in love with Chinese ink painting and began to study the new medium under local masters. She became so accomplished in the medium that, in 1969, she was invited to exhibit sixty‑two paintings at the National Taiwan Arts Hall under the auspices of the Taiwan Historical Museum in Taipei. According to the April 1969 edition of Beautiful China: A Pictorial Monthly, “her Taipei exhibition of new, bolder styles in calligraphy, bamboo and seascape was so impressive that a celebrated artist, China’s own First Lady, Madame Chiang, viewed the American artist’s paintings.” The Sunday, February 2, 1969 edition of The China News: Independent Objective reported: “Madame Chiang Kai‑shek yesterday morning went to the National Taiwan Arts Hall to see the exhibition of Chinese and Western styled paintings by Mrs. Billy Price Carroll. An accomplished painter herself, the First Lady highly praised the works of the American artist.”

Oakes, Warren, OH. Illustrated: Dubrow, Eileen and Richard. American Furniture of the 19th Century, 1840-1880. Atglen, PA: Schiffer, 2000, p. 210. Note: Scholar Ulysses Dietz noted the “flamboyance” and “larger than life” qualities of Cincinnati pieces when compared to restrained East Coast examples of the same era, positing that large scale and bold ornament may have been the product of a less tradition-bound society in Midwestern cities. The suite offered here is perhaps evidence that two Cincinnati, Ohio, firms, one small and one large, had wares retailed en suite. The commode bears the stencil of Allen C. Richards who operated on 6th Street, east of Baum, from 1846-1850, and on 4th Street thereafter. The bedstead, dresser and washstand harmonize with the commode, but are suited with ornament and scale from the workshop of Mitchell and Rammelsberg, who began their partnership in 1847 and built a vast Cincinnati manufacturing complex with warerooms in St. Louis (1855), Kentucky (1862) and on Royal Street in New Orleans (1865).

$7000/10000 Note: The use of seven-layer lamination to create the naturalistic grape-and-vine panels supporting the upper shelf on this étagère is indicative of the work of John Henry Belter.

Note: The elegant quality and sophisticated carved decoration of this armoire suggest that it was made by an important mid-nineteenth-century New York City furniture manufacturer such as John and Joseph W. Meeks. The serpentine crest with outset turrets supporting finials, canted corners with brackets, and shaped mirror plate in the cupboard door are details found on several labeled armoires made by the Meeks firm.

Note: An observation of the table here, and additionally the next lot, a nearly identical table, is that both tables are defined by a white marble top of perfectly circular form and supported by tightly proportioned cabriole legs. The fine design is completed by a vertical basket. John Henry Belter is often discussed as the outstanding figure of 19th c. American furniture and in the period of his short career described as genius, innovator and master of Rococo Revival. The two tables illustrated here are a reminder that Belter’s sense of late 18th c. and early 19th c. styles is always present and singularly distinctive.

Note: The late nineteenth century, New York City furniture manufacturer R. J. Horner was known for its elaborately carved oak furniture in interpretations of the Italian Renaissance style. The hall bench in the current lot derives its form from the Italian cassapanca, which was a cassone, or lift-top dowry chest, fitted with arms and back. Typical of the Renaissance-inspired furniture produced by Horner are the winged griffins forming the arms, lion’s paw feet, and scrolling foliage decorating the shaped crest as well as the chest under the seat. A carved oak hall bench of similar form bearing the label of R.J. Horner sold on October 18, 2014, as lot 251 at Fontaine’s in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale. 1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.” B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale. C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery. D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable. E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate. F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief. 2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot. 234

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same. 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item. 5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction. 6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the Conditions of Sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate.
