Letter from the President
Welcome to October! I feel fortunate that Susan has allowed me to take over this space for our October auction, as it’s an exciting time for all of us at New Orleans Auction Galleries. We bid a fond farwell to the oppressive Summer heat in New Orleans as autumn promises even more delights with our October 10-12 Estates Auction and the continued progress on our new gallery. Construction is moving along on schedule on the new building (pictured, right). It promises to be bigger, better and grander in every way. If you get a chance to drive by 333 St. Joseph, just around the corner from our present location, you will see the new columns of the third floor addition rising up. It changes daily, and we can’t wait to show it off to you in the New Year! If you weren’t with us in July, you missed another extraordinary sale, once again proving that an auction is a great way to beat the heat in New Orleans. It was highlighted by the sale of a painting by William Henry Buck that fetched an amazing $251,500 and a gorgeous collection of jewelry. It was an incredible $2.3 million sale! Coming off of such a fantastic sale, I am even more pleased to present our October catalogue to you. It features another dazzling array of items, including a broad collection of works by George Dunbar, in various mediums. We have an important collection of paintings by Ida Kohlmeyer, several Old Master paintings and prints, and some important 19th and 20th century Southern paintings, including works by Charles Giroux, John McCrady, Clarence Millet and others. We are offering an impressive selection of silver, one of the largest we have had in several sales. And if you thought the jewelry we had in July was fabulous, you will be excited to see pieces by David Webb, Buccellati, Bulgari, Tiffany, Cartier and others in this sale. I would also like to take a moment to highlight the estates that have given us the opportunity to offer property on their behalf: Susan Elizabeth Branch was a remarkable woman; in fact, she was one of the first women in New York City to get her auctioneers license. Her estate has brought us a lovely collection of Continental fine art, including a monumental pastel painting of a ballerina by Pierre Carrier-Belleuse, among many other items. The Estate of Lane Meltzer includes an important collection of post-war British art, featuring a Robert Adams brushed steel sculpture, and modern Southern regional paintings—a unique blend of the various strains of abstract expressionism. Much of the fabulous jewelry that I previously mentioned is from the Succession of Frances Thompson Kreihs. Her collection features all of the David Webb designs among many other fine pieces, and an excellent selection of Asian fine and decorative art. I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the Estate of Frances Shackelford of Little Rock, Arkansas. Her estate includes more of the exquisite jewelry in this sale, as well as some fine art and antique furniture. As always, you can find more details on the featured estates that we are offering in the following pages. We will begin on Friday October 10th at 12 p.m. CDT, and continue Saturday (the 11th) and Sunday (the 12th) at 10 a.m. CDT. We will be open for exhibition from Monday, September 29th until Thursday, October 9th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, excluding Sunday. Our evening reception is Thursday, October 9th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The evening reception is a great time to preview the items that you are interested in, as well as get a bite to eat and something to drink! I hope you are as excited as I am about everything that we have going on at New Orleans Auction Galleries, and we can’t wait to see you for our October sale!

Gracious, kind and chic, Frances Thompson Kreihs was considered to be the epitome of elegance by those who knew her. She was born in Galveston, Texas in 1925 and moved to Houston at a young age with her mother, Aileen, and brother, Jack. In 1940, Frances relocated with her family to New Orleans, finally settling in the place that she would call home for many years. Frances was married to Albert Kreihs, founder and owner of Buck Kreihs Marine Repair in New Orleans, for over 30 years. Albert and Frances enjoyed traveling the world together. She especially loved the people, the shopping and the innate beauty of Paris and Italy. An avid arts enthusiast, Frances enjoyed attending exhibits and the ballet both in New Orleans and abroad. New Orleans Auction Galleries is proud to offer a collection of fine jewelry and Asian art from the Succession of Frances Thompson Kreihs.

Born in Tifton, Georgia in 1950, Susan Elizabeth Branch was an accomplished and driven woman. Shortly after graduating from Tift County High School in 1968, Branch was crowned the “Georgia Peanut Princess” at the Georgia Peanut Festival. She attended Valdosta State University and later transferred to the University of Georgia, where she earned a Master’s degree in Journalism. Branch moved to New York City in 1985 to study interior design at New York University and gemology at the Gemological Institute of America. She developed a passion for antiques, jewelry and design, maintaining a booth in the diamond district for years and working as an auctioneer. In fact, Branch was one of the first women in New York City to become a licensed auctioneer. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer items from the Estate of Susan Elizabeth Branch, including antique furniture, a collection of Continental fine art, silver and more.

Frances Wilson Devany Shackelford was born in Dendron, Virginia in 1923. At only three years old, Shackelford went to southern Arkansas to live with her aunt and uncle, who later adopted her. A remarkable and intelligent woman, she attended Hockaday School in Dallas, Fairmont College in Washington, D.C. and the University of Arkansas. An avid supporter of the arts, she was involved with many local organizations and institutions, including the Arkansas Arts Center, the Arkansas Arts Council, the Mid-America Arts Alliance and the Museum of Women in the Arts. Shackelford also served on the Foundation board at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She taught her family, by vivid example, what to avoid in life and what to embrace. Known as the beloved “Tootsie-berry� to her legions of friends, young and old, her death marked the end of an era in the Arkansas and Mississippi Delta. Those who knew her described her as generous and unforgettable. She was, by her own design, spectacular. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer items from the Estate of Frances Wilson Devany Shackelford, including jewelry, fine art, silver and antique furniture.

Born in New York City, Lane N. Meltzer moved to New Orleans as a young man to work for his uncle, Harry Latter, one of the founders of Latter & Blum Realtors. Meltzer started as a gofer, but on Sunday mornings, Latter would pick up Meltzer in his chauffeur-driven car to look at real estate, mentoring him along the way. After graduating from Isidore Newman School and attending a year of college, Meltzer left school to join the Air Force as war was erupting. He went on to fight in World War II as a glider pilot, carrying troops in the invasion over the Rhine and bravely landing his platoon in a wheat field amidst enemy fire. After returning to New Orleans from his tour of duty, Meltzer continued to work for his Uncle Harry at Latter & Blum, mastering the business and ultimately rising through the ranks to become Chairman of the Board. Meltzer had also partnered with his cousin, Shepherd Latter, to form Westminster Corporation, a commercial development firm based in New Orleans and operating throughout the South. Following his success at Westminster, Meltzer founded his own company, Meltzer Associates. Over the course of his successful career, Meltzer developed office buildings, shopping centers, and industrial and residential properties, including 1010 Common and Pan American Life Center in New Orleans and 111 Capitol Building in Jackson, Mississippi. Meltzer was also one of the founding members of Royale Airlines and the New Orleans Downtown Development District. Meltzer lived life with enthusiasm and a deep determination that encompassed everything he did. He had great love for his family. One of Meltzer’s great passions was flying, and it continued well into his seventies. He owned several airplanes, was a Quiet Birdmen, an exclusive invite-only club for WWII glider pilots, and set a speed record for a twin-engine aircraft between New Orleans and Atlanta in 1968. Meltzer was also an avid skier, traveling to Austria and Colorado to pursue his love of the sport. Travel and golf were also favorites of Meltzer. He was a lifelong member of Temple Sinai in New Orleans. One of the greatest joys in Meltzer’s life was building his extensive and eclectic collection of 20th and 21st century art. His relationship with Gimpel Fils gallery in London introduced him to prominent British contemporary artists, such as Albert Irvin, Robert Adams and Alan Davie. Meltzer also had a close friendship with Ida Kohlmeyer, collecting numerous important works from various periods in her career. His unusual, yet unified collection of Southern Contemporary and British Post-War art hinged on his appreciation of the various abstract expressionist movements, especially those that are imbued with symbolism. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer art from the lifetime collection of Lane N. Meltzer.

The Schley-Peabody-Warner House was built ca. 1840 by Philip Thomas Schley (1798-1862), the younger brother of Georgia Governor William Schley (1786-1858), who had relocated to Columbus in 1836 after accepting a commission to command the local militia. In 1858, the lot on which the house was situated was purchased by the First Presbyterian Church. The present owner of the house, Colonel Seabury Jones, had the house painstakingly moved-piece by piece-to a new lot on the next street corner. In the years before the Civil War, the house was the domicile of the parents of philanthropist George Foster Peabody (1852-1938), who had moved from Connecticut to Columbus. The war financially devastated the Peabody’s, and they eventually sold the home to James H. Warner (ca. 1830-1866). Warner, nicknamed the “Major”, was the chief engineer of the Confederate Iron Works, overseeing the construction of the warships CSS Jackson and CSS Chattahoochee.

Gonon”, at edge of base, h. 17‑3/4”, w. 15‑1/2”, d. 12”. [5000/8000] Illustrated
Eugene Gonon was a sculptor and founder. He received his initial training with his father, Honore, a respected French founder, before entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1838, where he studied under the great sculptor Jean-Jacques Pradier. Upon completion of his studies, Eugene joined his father and brother Joseph in forming the Gonon family foundry. Eugene perfected the lost wax process, increasing the efficiency of this time-consuming and complex technique, and soon the Gonon foundry became one of the most popular, with such illustrious sculptors as Antoine-Louis Barye and Emmanuel Fremiet. Gonon consistently exhibited his work at the Paris Salon from 1853 through 1873, and in 1855 he showed three works at the Summer Exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts. The unusual work offered here, with the painstakingly detailed leaves, vines and textures, reveals both the depth and precision of Gononís modeling and his mastery as a founder.

Salop and his wife Catherine Grierson (ca. 1765‑1839), daughter of James and Elizabeth Grierson of Manchester. Catherine, in her youth, had been at the center of a notorious abduction scandal. Her father had died while she was a child, and she became a ward of the court with her mother, Elizabeth, as guardian, who enrolled her in boarding school at Battersea. There, at the age of 16, she ran off with Army Captain Dr. Thomas Thomasson and the two were wed in Gretna Green, Scotland in the early summer of 1781. Her mother objected to the marriage and Thomasson - unaware of his bride’s status as a ward of the court and therefore subject to its approval - was arrested for contempt and jailed in Fleet prison. Catherine was inconsolable at this turn of events: “[she] was so much afflicted that she fell into a fit before she left the court, and continued in a succession of fits for several hours” reports a contemporary newspaper account of the events. Catherine remained so griefstricken that her mother relented and gave her approval to the union, provided the couple were properly married under her supervision, which they were on November 5, 1781. The couple had at least one daughter - also called Catherine - before Thomasson’s death and Catherine’s second marriage to Charlton on April 20, 1796. He died on January 14, 1838 and she little over a year later on February 12, 1839.

1071 Remarkable Rosewood-Cased Set of 1839 New York Household Inventories, of French manufacture, second quarter 19th century, with a handwritten household inventory of Susan (Mrs. Henry) Parish (1805‑1861), 49 Barclay Street, New York, dated 1839‑1857, comprising four duodecimo ruled journals, full black leather, with brown spine with red panel and gilt lettering and decoration, presented in a rosewood-veneered and marquetry-inlaid case with spring-mounted catch which partially ejects the volumes when unlocked, overall, h. 8‑3/4”, w. 3‑3/8”, d. 5‑1/2”. [500/800] Illustrated Susan Maria Delafield, daughter of John and Ann Hallett Delafield, was married on October 7, 1829 to New York merchant Henry Parish (1788‑1856), whose business interests included the firm of Gasquet, Parish & Co. in New Orleans. These journals record, in Mrs. Parish’s hand, the inventory of their Barclay street home beginning in 1839 and with entries up through 1857, documenting the household goods of a member of New York’s merchant class of the antebellum period. They present a remarkable array of porcelain, glass, silver, linens, all recorded with great attention to detail. The household goods are presented in one volume, and another records the “List of S.M.P. (Susan Maria Parish) Jewels”, with the place and/or circumstances of acquisition for each item, such as the “pink-white topaz bg’t in New Orleans, 1839” and other items bought in London, Paris, Geneva, Philadelphia and Naples. Mrs. Parish is perhaps best remembered for the acrimonious and protracted contestation of her husband’s will. Soon after writing a will in 1842 leaving his considerable $898,000 estate (equivalent to about $25 million today) divided among his wife, siblings and namesakes, Parish began to suffer a series of apoplectic strokes, culminating in one in 1849 which left him permanently physically and mentally disabled. During this time, he executed three codicils to his will leaving the bulk of his estate to his wife. After his death in 1856, Parish’s siblings challenged the codicils in a court case which lasted for six years and was not resolved until after Mrs. Parish’s death on June 16, 1861. The final adjudication in May 1862 recognized the first of the three codicils, which left the bulk of Parish’s real estate and business holding to his wife; according to her terms of her will, the estate was divided among her surviving brothers. The facts - and no little amount of arch and salacious testimony in which the complainants depict Mrs. Parish as an avaricious schemer manipulating her incapacitated husband - can be found in the 1862 publication The Parish Will Case (New York: D. Appleton, 1862). Additional information may be found in the Delafield family papers, conserved at Princeton University, which contain some poems by Mrs. Parish.

1163 Good Late Classical New Orleans Coin (.900) Silver Water Pitcher, second quarter 19th century, Brower Brothers, the ovoid body with waisted collar and integral spout, with acanthus-mounted arched reeded handle and knopped circular foot, decorated with milled palmette and floral banding, monogrammed “VL”, h.13”, l. 9”, dia. 5‑3/4”, 39.95 t. oz. [4000/7000] Illustrated The firm of S. & B. Brower of Albany, New York, established their New Orleans branch at 17 Camp Street in 1833. Brothers Sidney (often erroneously given as Samuel) and Baldwin Brower were born in New York to Anthony Post Brower and his wife Louisa Gardiner on December 18, 1806 and December 25, 1810, respectively. There is no record of their apprenticeship or training, but it is to be noted that their maternal uncles were the talented silversmiths Sidney (1787‑1827) and Baldwin Gardiner (1791‑1868) of the celebrated Philadelphia firm of Fletcher & Gardiner. The Mid-Atlantic neoclassical influence is readily apparent in the present lot, which appealed to the “American” immigrants to New Orleans which arrived in great number between the Battle of New Orleans and the Civil War. Sidney Brower died on January 26, 1836, and the firm was reorganized in 1842 as B. Brower & Co. with another brother George Clinton Brower (1816‑1864), by which time the company was no longer a manufacturer, but primarily an importer and retailer of fancy goods. Baldwin Brower died (on a visit to Palermo, Sicily) on February 15, 1845, and his interest in the company was retained by his widow Elizabeth Barker Brower and (later) her second husband, William T. VanZandt until its dissolution in 1855. A pair of pitchers, each nearly identical to the present lot, was exhibited at the seminal 1980 “Crescent City Silver” exhibition at the Historic New Orleans Collection and LSU Anglo-American Art Museum, and again in 1997 at Longue Vue House and Gardens, New Orleans, Louisiana.

1164 Nineteenth-Century New Orleans Sterling Silver Water Pitcher, 1890‑1893, by Theresa Hausmann & Son, of ovoid form, decorated with deep repousse riverside village scenes with buildings, boats and an aqueduct, centering a floral and foliate-mantled convex cartouche, all above an acanthus calyx, the shaped spout with acanthus decoration en suite, with arched openwork “vintage” handle, h. 9‑3/4”, dia. 6‑3/4”, l. 9”, 32.90 t. oz. [1800/2500] Illustrated Theresa Rosenbush Hausmann (1847‑1924) was born in Baden, Germany, the daughter of Lazarus Rosenbush and his wife Theresa Karlidacher. She emigrated to New York with her family sometime in the 1860’s, and there, on October 27, 1867, married Henry Hausmann (1845‑1878), son of Isaac Hausmann and Theresa Tannhauser. They settled in New Orleans shortly thereafter, where Henry worked for the silver manufactory of Adolphe Himmel. After Himmel’s death in 1877, Henry assumed the company, thus founding the famous Hausmann’s of Baronne and later Canal Street, but himself died scarcely a year later in the yellow fever epidemic of 1878. Theresa, widowed with two small children, assumed control of the company, which she ran efficiently and industriously, becoming, by the turn of the century, the largest and best luxury goods purveyor in New Orleans. Her son Louis Hausmann (1868‑1948) joined the firm in 1890, when it became T. Hausmann & Son. This short-lived name (thus permitting the narrow date of the present lot) changed to T. Hausmann & Sons in 1894 with the addition of second son Gabriel “Gabe” Hausmann (1872‑1945). Shortly before her death on January 28, 1924, Hausmann’s (by which it was then known) purchased their chief competitor A. B. Griswold & Co., thus becoming the successor to historic 19th-century New Orleans silver dealers. She is buried in Hebrew Rest Cemetery #2 in New Orleans.

1167 Magnificent Four Hundred and Forty-Five-Piece Cased Set of Tiffany & Co. “Renaissance” Sterling Silver Flatware, the pattern designed in 1904 by Paulding Farnham (1859‑1927), New York, New York, complete with fifteen-piece place settings for eighteen persons, with ten more place pieces (making twenty-fivepiece place settings) for twelve persons [six game knives lacking], with sixty-one serving pieces, each piece monogrammed “BFS”, 544.21 total t. oz. (weighable silver), presented in the original Tiffany oak, russet suede-lined fitted and labeled case, lidded with two drawers, with brass fittings and plaque with presentation inscription dated “Christmas 1944”, on a later wooden stand, overall, 35‑1/4” x 30‑3/8” x 24‑1/4”. [100000/150000] Illustrated Tiffany’s “Renaissance” pattern was patented in 1904, but did not begin production until 1905, and did not appear in Tiffany’s famous Blue Book until 1907. It may be considered Tiffany’s last Gilded Age pattern, and was the last design by the celebrated Paulding Farnham. Farnham had been director of jewelry design at Tiffany’s since 1891, and by 1900 was director of silver design as well. His star faded quickly, however, after the death of Charles Lewis Tiffany (1812‑1902), whose son Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848‑1933) assumed the directorship of the design department, displacing Farnham. The new president of the company Charles T. Cook (1837‑1907) - not coincidentally Farnham’s uncle - retained the young designer, and it was under Cook’s stewardship that the “Renaissance” pattern was introduced. It was, in keeping with the (albeit waning) fashion of the time, a “multi-motif” pattern, i.e., several different but complementary designs for different pieces. However, “Renaissance” was among the most subtle of multi-motif patterns, in that the variations are all among the minor details rather than the principal design of a neoclassical herm and bead-anddiamond border. The pattern was discontinued in 1942, available as “order only” until its obsolescence in the 1960’s. It was around the time of its continuation that the present set was purchased, which probably accounts for the fact that, while extraordinarily extensive, it contains only two of the five known variant motifs. The purchaser was Bertram Victor Sturdivant (1901‑1984), a native of tiny Gurdon, Arkansas, the son of hotelier Henry David Sturdivant and his wife Amanda Josephine Brock. Educated at Baylor University, Sturdivant (known professionally as B. Victor but nicknamed “Sturdy”) worked as a reporter and later editor for newspapers in Texas, Tennessee and Florida before becoming manager of the southern bureau of the International News Service in Atlanta. Around this time, in 1925, he married Frances Eugenia Alexander (1904‑1986), daughter of Henry Kelso Alexander and Eugenia Valentine Meriwether of Montgomery, Alabama. Sturdivant then worked briefly in advertising and public relations in the automobile industry before being hired in 1929 by Skouras Brothers, theater owners in Indianapolis, Indiana, and became General Manager of Skouras-Publix Theaters in 1930. Sturdivant would spend the rest of his life working in the motion picture theater and distribution industry. He joined Fox West Coast theaters in 1932, and became divisional manager for Northern California in 1942. He was a leading figure in the theater business during the war (when he presented this set to his wife), having founded the Los Angeles Theater Defense Bureau (responsible for maintaining theater safety during blackouts) and serving as director of the Motion Picture Industry Fourth War Loan and vice-president of the California War Chest. After the war he was president of the California Theaters Association and ran his own talent and film distribution agency in Brazil, later moving to Yuma, Arizona, where he owned and operated Silver Crest Entertainment and Sturdivant, Inc. His wife Francis assisted him in all these endeavors; the couple had no children and devoted themselves to their businesses and civic affairs in Yuma. He died on November 24, 1984, and Francis on January 30, 1986. The B. V. Sturdivant award given annually by the National Association of Theater Owners for excellence in film promotion and distribution is named in his honor.

1191 Kate Freeman Clark (American/Mississippi, 1875‑1957), “Summer Landscape”, ca. 1909, oil on canvas, signed en verso “Freeman Clark”, 26” x 30”. Framed. Provenance: Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana; Kate Freeman Clark Gallery, Holly Springs, Mississippi. This work is to be sold for the benefit of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, Louisiana. [40000/70000] Illustrated Kate Freeman Clark was one of the most successful students of the great American Impressionist William Merritt Chase with whom she studied at the Shinnecock Summer Art School on Long Island, New York. From 1904 to 1919, Clark exhibited widely under the name “Freeman Clark”, intentionally disguising her gender for fear of unfair judgment. The work offered here, “Summer Landscape”, is representative of the work exhibited during this period: the light-infused landscape with the loose brush strokes and dynamic composition. Although Clark’s career spanned several decades, she retired from painting in 1924, settling into a quiet, respectable life in her hometown of Holly Springs, Mississippi, leaving her talents largely unrecognized until after her death.

1192 John McCrady (American/Louisiana, 1911‑1968), “Seated Model with Still Life”, 1933, oil on canvas, monogrammed and dated lower right, 25” x 34”. Framed. Provenance: Downtown Gallery/Dixie Art Building, New Orleans, Louisiana. [10000/15000] Illustrated John McCrady was arguably the most successful Southern Regionalist artist of the 20th century. He had a great appreciation and deep respect for the people and landscape of rural America, and more than any other artist, he expertly depicted the spiritual and social life of his native South. His expressive and masterfully executed paintings earned him the admiration and respect of many in the artistic community. McCrady was the son of a minister and spent his childhood in rural towns in Mississippi and Louisiana. He enrolled in the University of Mississippi in 1930, where his father had recently been named the head of the Philosophy Department. During the summer break, he spent time with one of his siblings in Philadelphia, where he explored the museums and galleries and audited art classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The following academic year he left the University of Mississippi to attend the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans. Shortly after, McCrady was awarded a scholarship to the iconic Art Students League of New York. While in New York, he studied with Kenneth Hayes Miller (1876-1952) and briefly with Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975). While at the league, McCrady honed his painting techniques, learning the rudiments of composition, organization, and layering of colors and pigments to create a deep, rich color palette. He became so adept in his multi-stage approach of using underpainting and color glazes that he was featured in a 1966 article in American Artist magazine describing him as one of the few contemporary masters of this technique. McCrady found little artistic inspiration in the North, and eventually returned to New Orleans to teach at the Arts and Crafts Club. The work presented here, "Seated Model with a Still Life", completed in 1933, was created after the artist’s return to his beloved South and reveals some of the masterful techniques McCrady was to later utilize in his large-scale murals; the layering of colors, the fluid yet distinct line, extreme care given to composition and organization of the various elements, and the use of a somewhat flattened chiaroscuro. Beginning in 1934, he produced numerous works under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration (WPA); his WPA work was continued through the war. In 1935, McCrady's work was included in the historically significant exhibition, "Thirty-Five Painters of the Deep South", at the Boyer Galleries in Philadelphia. The following year, Boyer Galleries in New York had a solo exhibition of McCrady’s work, prompting articles in Time and Life magazines. This catapulted McCrady into the national artistic spotlight, resulting in his receiving a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 1939. In 1942, he and his wife, fellow artist Mary Basso McCrady, opened the John McCrady School of Art in New Orleans, where his students included Ida Kohlmeyer, Henry Casselli and Rolland Harve Golden.

Provenance: Estate of Lane Meltzer, New Orleans, Louisiana; Gimpel Fils Gallery, London, UK. [12000/18000] Illustrated A native of London, Albert Irvin briefly attended the Northampton School of Art in 1940/41, before joining the Royal Air Force. At the end of the war he studied at Goldsmiths College, University of London, receiving his degree in 1950, the same year he took part in his first group exhibition. Irvin described his training at Goldsmiths as being very academic in its approach. Originally a figurative painter, Irvin, like many of his artistic contemporaries, was immensely affected and influenced by the 1956 exhibition, “Modern Art in the United States” held at the Tate. This was Irvin’s first exposure to abstract expressionism and the works of artists such as Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. Inspired by the works he saw, he slowly began to incorporate slightly abstracted figural elements into his paintings; soon he moved towards total abstraction. Employing a bright, vivid color palette and a very intense, physical brush stroke, Irvin creates paintings he feels allow for an immediate, visceral reaction by the viewer. According to Irvin, abstract art allows “you to move across a canvas in a way that you move through the spaces of the world...notions of space like proximity and distance could be revealed by moving across a canvas with a brush”. Irvin had his first solo exhibition in 1960, and in 1968 he was the recipient of a travel award by the Arts Council which afforded him the opportunity to travel to the United States. He was an instructor at Goldsmiths College from 1962‑1982. In 1998, he was elected a Royal Academician and was appointed an officer of the British Empire in 2013 in honor of his influence in the arts. He is represented by Gimpel Fils Gallery, London.

canvases, the result of an improvisatory process that the artist relates to his love of jazz, form a complex web of imagery that evoke a magical world of imagination and personal mythology.” His unusual technique had him placing the canvas or paper on the floor and painting from above, often incorporating a form of dynamic dance in the process. The spontaneous nature of his method owed much to his appreciation of Zen Buddhism, and he saw himself as a medium who conducted the images of the collective unconscious onto the canvas. As the artist himself once stated, “Although every work of mine must inevitably bear the stamp of my own personality, I feel that each one must, to be satisfactory, be a new revelation of something hitherto unknown to me, and I consider this evocation of the unknown to be the true function of any art”. Although Davie faded into obscurity by the 1970’s, there has been a renewed appreciation of his work in recent years. He was represented by the esteemed London Gallery of Gimpel Fils for over sixty years. References: Hudson, M. (2014, April 6), “The Artist that Time Forgot”.

[7000/10000] Illustrated Alan Davie was one of the most acclaimed and accomplished British artists working in the abstract expressionist style. The son of a print-maker, the Scottish-born Davie was exposed to art at a young age and showed an eager appreciation of both art and music. Davie studied at Edinburgh College of Art before entering military service during WWII. In 1948, he traveled to Europe on a travel stipend, exhibiting in Florence and Venice where his work caught the attention of the art collector Peggy Guggenheim, who purchased several of his paintings. Influenced by post-war American artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, all of whom he met on his first trip to New York in 1956, Davie had his own personal approach to abstract expressionism, layering the surfaces with mythical and mystical symbols, some of Celtic, Caribbean or African origin, others of his own invention. According to Tate Britain, Davie “was one of the first British artists after the war to develop an expressive form of abstraction. His kaleidoscopic

A conscientious objector, he spent the war as an engineer; it was during this time that he began to experiment with sculpting in wood, creating vaguely abstracted organic figures. Adams had his first solo exhibition at the Gimpel Fils Gallery in London in 1947. From 1951‑1956 he exhibited regularly with the influential abstract artist Victor Pasmore (1908‑1998), and his coterie of artistic friends; they became the force behind Constructivism in post-war Britain. Like Pasmore and the others, Adams was interested in the link between art and architecture, but he strayed from the group in their insistence of utilizing mathematic formulae; he preferred a more organically based approach. While teaching at the Central School of Art and Design in London in the mid-50’s, Adams taught himself welding and he began to produce the series of sheet and rod sculptures for which he would become so well known. His work became more abstracted and geometric in form, often employing perforations to allow light to filter around and through the sculpture. There was a new emphasis on shape and silhouette, on smooth, often curvilinear lines. Adams was the recipient of the prestigious Rockefeller Award in 1950 from the Institute of International Education; this afforded him the opportunity to visit the United States, where he exhibited at the Passedoit Gallery in New York. Adams' works are in the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Courtauld Institute of Art, London; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Gallery, Washington, D.C.; and he completed numerous public commissions in England and Germany.

Charles Smith Court and Eustace Crees were both natives of Birmingham, England, born at a time when it was an industrial powerhouse and center of silver and flatware production; indeed, Court was the son of George Henry Court (1845‑1917), a die sinker. They were undoubtedly trained in the U.K., and emigrated to the United States in 1889 and 1890 respectively. They settled in Providence, Rhode Island, and by 1896 appear to have been exclusive designers for the flatware division of Watson & Newell: the Mechanics Silver Co. of Attleboro, Massachusetts. Between 1896 and 1905 they patented over fifty flatware designs, including four different series of floral and foliate designs. This motif - “Wild Rose” - was part of the second series and was patented on August 12, 1902, number D35994. (Two other motifs - “Water Lily” and “Poppy” - were patented on the same day.) However, of the twenty-five different motifs in this series, only “Wild Rose” and two others (“Lily” and “Orchid”) were available as full-line patterns. The present lot represents a notably extensive set, by tradition having belonged to an estate near Greenville, Mississippi. It is presented in a contemporaneous chest made not for just the set, but for an associated tea service belonging to the same family. Also included with the set is a facsimile copy of the Watson September/October 1903 “Orchid/Wild Rose” catalogue. Court and Crees remained in partnership until their retirement in the 1940’s. Although Crees retired to Sarasota, Florida, both men are buried in the Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, Rhode Island, Crees having died on August 10, 1947, and Court on April 14, 1955.

(a). ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.
ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. PLEASE SEE SECTION 2(a) BELOW IN WHICH ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS) ARE WAIVED.
1. INTRODUCTION (a). These Conditions of Sale (“Conditions of Sale”) contain all the terms governing Auctions (defined below) conducted by Cakebread Art Antiques Collectables, Inc. d/b/a New Orleans Auction Galleries (“NOAG”), and all the terms under which NOAG and the Seller (defined below) of a Lot (defined below) contract with the Buyer (defined below). These Conditions of Sale may be amended by posted notices or oral announcements made during the Auction. (b). Under these Conditions of Sale, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows: • An “Auction” is a public auction conducted by NOAG, at which Bidders may place Bids to purchase one or more Lots offered for sale by NOAG. An Auction takes place over one or more days and includes separate auctions of one or more Lots within an event conducted by NOAG; • The “Auctioneer” is the auctioneer calling the Auction conducted by NOAG; A “Bid” is a bid made by a party at the Auction to purchase a Lot; • A “Bidder” is (i) a person making a Bid at the Auction (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); and/or (ii) a person who attends the Auction and registers to make a Bid (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); • A “Buyer” is the party that commits to purchase a Lot by submitting the Winning Bid at Auction; • “Buyer’s Premium” is defined in Section 4 below; • “Catalogue” is the Auction catalogue utilized by NOAG to list the Lots offered at Auction; • The “Estimates” are the high and low estimates of value for each Lot set forth in the Catalogue presented by NOAG in connection with the Auction or otherwise set forth and/or announced at the Auction; • The “Hammer Price” for a Lot is the amount of the Winning Bid at the Auction, as announced by the Auctioneer, exclusive of commissions, Buyer’s Premium, expenses, and any taxes or other charges; • A “Lot” is specific item of property offered for sale at Auction; The “Reserve” is defined in Section 3 below; • The “Purchase Price” is defined in Section 4 below; A “Sale” of a Lot occurs when a Winning Bid is declared at Auction for the Lot; • The “Seller” of a Lot is the party who consigned the Lot with NOAG for purposes of selling the Lot, or is otherwise the seller of the Lot; • The “Winning Bid” is, as to a particular Lot, the Bid recognized by the Auctioneer as the highest and best Bid for that Lot.
(c). Except as otherwise stated, NOAG acts as consignment agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the Lot is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.
(i) NEITHER NOAG NOR THE SELLER PROVIDES ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY AS TO THE NATURE, DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, PROVENANCE, IMPORTANCE, OR CONDITION OF THE LOT. All Sales and Auctions are without any representation or warranty of any kind by NOAG or the Seller. Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing provided. All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.” (ii) No warranty of redhibition. ANY WARANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty against redhibitory defects, including without limitation: (x) any defects rendering a Lot useless or its use inconvenient; and (y) any defects diminishing the usefulness of a Lot; and any such warranties are waived and excluded. In addition, NOAG and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer’s intended use or for Buyer’s particular purpose. (iii) No warranty against eviction. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither NOAG nor Seller have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer’s sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale. (iv) No warranty as to authorship. NOAG does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship of works of art and fine art. 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. (v) No warranty of peaceful possession, etc. The following warranties are waived and excluded: the absence of hidden defects, peaceful possession, and ownership. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty that the Lot is free from hidden defects, or for peaceful possession, or for ownership. (vi) No other warranties. None of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). Examination of property / Condition Reports. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that NOAG produce a Condition Report (“Condition Report”) for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed by NOAG’s staff. NOAG reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in NOAG’s sole discretion.
Rev. 10/2013
(c). Catalogue and other descriptions. (i) All statements made by NOAG as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalogue entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/ or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. (iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price. (iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.
3. AT THE AUCTION (a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG; (ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment (iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and (v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion. (c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids. (i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).
Rev. 10/2013
(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith. (d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). 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 or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j). NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.
4. AFTER THE AUCTION (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 23% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 20% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction. Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 801 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.
Rev. 10/2013
(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly. All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs;
sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved. (i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.
5.COPYRIGHT The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for NOAG relating to a Lot including without limitation the contents of the Catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of NOAG and shall not be used by the Buyer or Bidder, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. NOAG and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.
6. SEVERABILITY If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7. DATA COLLECTION In connection with the operation of our auction business, NOAG may need to seek personal information from Bidders or obtain information about Bidders from third parties (e.g., credit checks from banks). Such information will be processed and kept by us in confidence. Some of Bidders’ personal data may also need to be shared with third party service providers (e.g., shipping or storage companies) for Bidders’ benefit. By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.
8. LAW AND JURISDICTION The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the Auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Louisiana. By bidding at the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
(x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids; (xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both
