Letter From the CEO Have you ever met one of those people who are, to apply an overused but apt phrase, larger than life? Their personas shine a bit brighter and bolder and their every move sparks fascination. Bonnie Swearingen, Chicago socialite and philanthropist, with her life of adventure, glamour and style, indisputably knew the art of creating a reputation that preceded her. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer her estate, giving you a glimpse into this flamboyant, irrepressible society figure’s exuberant life in our holiday sale, Friday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6. Bonnie and her husband John Swearingen, CEO of Standard Oil, were certainly one of the world’s most magnetic couples of their time, counting Anwar Sadat, Bob Hope, Kirk Douglas and the Reagans among their peers. (For more on Bonnie’s life, flip to the next page). She was recognized for her sometimes indelicate and indiscriminate comments. (It is often repeated that during a news interview she said she makes her husband’s breakfast wearing nothing but emeralds.) However, it’s her backstory that really draws me to her. One of seven preacher’s children from Alabama, she found her way out of poverty through a Miss Alabama scholarship. From then on there was no stopping her. She went from a Hollywood actress to a Wall Street stockbroker, becoming one of the first women to earn a seat on the exchange.
furniture, carpets, fine arts and decorative objects, as well as correspondences with notable world leaders and U.S. presidents, including Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford. And if you are thinking of adding some gorgeous, sparkly items to your wish list, her estate also includes an important collection of fine jewelry, including a 31-carat Harry Winston diamond ring (lot 777), a sumptuous selection of vintage jewelry, one-of-a-kind David Webb pieces and more. We are also honored to offer the estate of prominent New Orleans physician, philanthropist and noted collector, Dr. Ralph Lupin. I know from personal experience he curated with a meticulous eye. Although his collection of English antique furniture, fine arts and decorative arts is outstanding, he is most notably known for his important collection of Jacob Petit porcelain. We are offering several outstanding pieces of Jacob Petit, along with many items and art from his estate. We are also pleased to offer property descended from the family of Rafael C. and Ethel Regan Goyeneche Sr. of Mexico City, Havana, and New Orleans, as well as antiques and fine art from the estate of Theo Bean. To be sure, this auction, with more than 1,100 lots, is just in time for the holidays, offering exquisite craftsmanship, history and beauty from some truly outsized personalities.
My husband Fayez Sarofim knew Bonnie through John, to whom she was married from 1969 until John’s death in 2007. In fact, she used to call Fayez for investment advice. I asked if Bonnie was all she was said to be, and with a smile, he called her “high-spirited.”
And from our NOAG family to yours, we wish you good tidings this season, as well as happiness, health and, perhaps a little large living of your own in the coming year!
I think you’ll find that spirit, glamour and love of beauty reflected in the more than 250 lots, including antiques,
Susan D.Sarofim CEO
''If a little girl from Alabama whose father was a minister can appear in public wearing beautiful jewels and gowns, it should be a symbol to everyone that they can do it too.'' Bonnie Swearingen
The New York Times, January 22, 1981
THE ESTATE OF
Bonnie Bolding Swearingen birmingham, alabama Bonnie Bolding Swearingen, former Alabama beauty queen, actress, stockbroker and a flamboyant staple of society pages for decades, unapologetically lived her life to the beat of her own drum. From hunting at the LBJ ranch with close friends Lady Bird and Lyndon B. Johnson, to jetting off on a whim with Imelda Marcos to dine with King Hassan II of Morocco and the Shah of Iran, Bonnie’s life reads like that of an American princess. Bonnie and her husband, John Swearingen, were fixtures on seemingly every major guest list for decades, including Ronald Reagan’s inauguration (she affectionately called him “Ronnie”) and a legendary Palm Desert dinner party in 1975 hosted by Walter Annenberg in honor of Richard Nixon (his first appearance since leaving office). Anyone that’s met Bonnie, or was even in the same room as her, remembers her uniquely magnetic presence and imitable charm. She was never afraid to speak her mind—a quality that was admired by those close to her and frequently landed her name in newspapers and magazines, including People, Town & Country, The New York Times and Chicago Tribune. Bonnie’s outspokenness fit perfectly with her husband John’s often-times provocative commentary during the oil crisis in the 1970s. While at the helm of Standard Oil, John Swearingen was one of the highest-profile and most powerful business leaders in America. Amidst the crisis, Swearingen also served as Chair of both the national Petroleum Council (1974-75) and American Petroleum Institute (1978-79), positioning him as the face of “Big Oil”. Swearingen was fiercely defensive of the oil industry and highly critical of Washington, especially President Carter.
In 1980, following years of her husband’s public defense of the oil industry and months before Carter’s defeat, Bonnie was interviewed by People Magazine at their Chicago residence and wittily remarked: “I just love oil. If it could be made into a perfume, I’d wear it.” The following year, Reagan eliminated price controls on oil and natural gas and production soared. From an early age, Bonnie was destined for a life much bigger than her Joppa, Alabama home town. She entered the Miss Alabama contest four times, eventually achieving first runnerup. While her dream was to be Miss Alabama, she recognized that some things were just not meant to be. In her own words: “I learned then that it is not what you do that are successes, it’s the failures that make you what you are.” The competition afforded her the opportunity to attend Birmingham’s Samford University (Howard College at the time) through a scholarship awarded to her as a contestant in the Miss Alabama competition. Her time at Samford nurtured her love for the spotlight through her participation in the school’s drama and cheerleading programs. She was also instrumental in fundraising for the school’s new campus during her time there, a skill that she carried with her for the rest of her life. The importance of her time at Samford was never lost on Bonnie; she generously donated to both the athletic program and the Samford University Arts Center, which was renamed Bonnie Bolding Swearingen Hall in 2007 in her honor. The fine arts facility includes Bolding Studio, an intimate performance and events space also named for her the year prior, as well as offices, rehearsal facilities and an art gallery. (continued on next page)
John Swearingen took the reigns as Chairman and CEO of Standard Oil of Indiana in 1960, a position he held for 23 years. Swearingen transformed a “second-rate” oil conglomerate with low reserves into one of the most successful oil companies of all time through aggressive exploration and lucrative offshore drilling ventures. His business savvy and hard work paid off; by 1980, Standard Oil’s stock was exceeded by only five other corporations. As one of the highest-paid and most respected executives in the country at the time, Swearingen was extremely influential in both business and politics. His status and wealth afforded John and Bonnie an incredible life travelling the world together and rubbing shoulders with the upper echelons of international society. However, Bonnie’s entry into the Chicago social scene was far from easy. Her wit and charm ultimately prevailed, and she became a beloved local celebrity and a favorite of Chicago’s social elite. Bonnie was an effective fundraiser for a myriad of causes in Chicago and throughout the country. Bonnie was also known for her incredible jewelry collection and was frequently photographed wearing the finest pieces. A memoriam in The Chicago Sun-Times noted that Bonnie was always “suntanned, smiling and sparkling with jewels.”

After graduating in 1955, she pursued another scholarship opportunity, this time at the Pasadena Playhouse in California, a prominent Los Angeles-area theatre frequented by scouts from all the major film studios. This launched a brief, but relatively successful acting career in the late 1950s that included an appearance with Charles Boyer in an Alcoa Hour drama on NBC-TV and roles in the TV series “Cheyenne” and “Have Gun-Will Travel.”
New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer nearly 100 lots of fine jewelry from the Estate of Bonnie Bolding Swearingen, including an important 31-carat Harry Winston diamond ring, a stunning 28-carat sapphire and diamond ring, vintage pieces by David Webb, as well as many other unique jeweled creations. We are pleased to offer photographs (some signed) with several of the lots showing Bonnie Swearingen wearing pieces offered in this sale alongside notable world leaders and American presidents. In addition to the collection of fine jewelry, Swearingen’s estate also includes paintings, antique furniture, carpets, decorative objects, handbags, couture and more.
In 1958, she married her first husband, John David Manley III of Corpus Christi. Only three years later, she had divorced Manley and remarried prominent Texas oilman Oscar Wyatt, Jr., but their marriage lasted only six weeks. While married to Manley and Wyatt, Bonnie learned about the oil industry and ended up with a portfolio of oil stocks. Twice-divorced and in her late 20s, Bonnie decided to “reinvent” herself by moving to New York to work as a stockbroker at Shearson, Hammill & Co. She considered buying a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, but once she discovered she would not be the first woman on the Exchange, she began to lose interest. Bonnie met John Swearingen in 1968 at a stockbrokers’ meeting on Wall Street. Like so many others, John was enamored by this charismatic and intelligent young woman, but he was married at the time and Bonnie happened to be dating one of his good friends. Within a year of meeting one another though, John divorced his wife of 26 years and remarried Bonnie just three months later in May of 1969. She moved to Chicago to begin yet another new and exciting chapter in her life.

THE collection OF
Dr. E. Ralph Lupin new orleans, louisiana Dr. E. Ralph Lupin, esteemed New Orleans physician, philanthropist, collector, and beloved civic and cultural leader, left a lasting impact for generations to come through his immense generosity. As an obstetrician-gynecologist for more than five decades, Lupin delivered thousands of babies and made many important contributions to the field of women’s health care. In 1958 at the beginning of his career, he served as the chief of the OBGYN Department at the 48th United States Air Force Hospital in Lakenheath, England. Upon his return to New Orleans, he became a partner/co-founder and group organizer of the Women’s Medical Center in Gretna and was instrumental in developing the group into one of the premier obstetrics and gynecology practices in the New Orleans region. He held a leadership position in the practice until 2010, when he founded the Lupin Women’s Health Practice. In an interview with St. Charles Magazine, Lupin shared that, “Every time I see a new being come into this world, I feel that my mission in life is fulfilled. My mission in life is to make people happy, and I would have to say that everything I've done is with this mission in mind. Women's health care is my job, and I'll keep doing it until I die.” Lupin and his brothers, Dr. Arnold Lupin and Dr. Sam Lupin, founded and successfully operated St. Charles General Hospital in New Orleans until its sale to Tenet Healthcare Corporation in 1985. With funds from the sale, the Lupin brothers formed the Lupin Foundation, a non-profit foundation that has helped many other non-profits, community service providers, churches and the needy with grants totaling $2 million a year for nearly 30 years. An avid learner, Lupin obtained a Law Degree from Loyola Law School in 1988. Lupin served as chair of the Vieux Carré Commission. He served on the Louisiana State Museum Board for nearly four decades and twice served as chair. He also served on the boards of the Louisiana Museum Foundation, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Lupin Foundation, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), the New Orleans Symphony, Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, Jewish Family & Children’s Services, the local chapter of the American Red Cross, the University of New Orleans Foundation, the Audubon Institute, the National World War II Museum, the Upper Pontalba Commission (which he chaired), the Sophie Gumbel Guild, the New Orleans Opera Association, the New Orleans Ballet Association, the Jewish Foundation, Young Audiences, Bridge House and many others. Even as he neared the end of his life, Lupin continued to look for ways to serve and to share. One of his last acts of charity was the Lupin Foundation’s decision to fund and underwrite the creation of the Holocaust Wing of the National World War II Museum. Dr. Lupin also served as a General in the Air National Guard. He retired from military service at the age of 65, but he received his last mission in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. Lupin, then 75 years Pictured Opposite Page: Lot 219
old, stayed in the city as many evacuated, He was reactivated and assigned to the Superdome and Smoothie King Center as the chief medical officer, helping to protect and treat those in need. He remained on duty for six months following the storm. Aside from his public service and professional accomplishments, Lupin was an avid collector of fine art and antiques. His discerning eye and academic-like pursuit of the next great piece resulted in an impressive collection of English and French antique furniture, paintings and decorative arts. Lupin took particular joy in his collection of Imari and Jacob Petit porcelain. In an article in New Orleans Magazine, Lupin shared that, “It’s good to find something you are interested in and then allow yourself to become possessed.” Lupin's time in England sparked an early interest in antiques. While discussing his passion for collecting, he told The Times-Picayune that, "In the 1950s, it was often cheaper to buy a real antique in England than it was to buy a reproduction in the U.S.," he said. "Getting called up for military service in Britain turned out to be one of the luckiest things that ever happened to me." Lupin shared this passion with his first wife, Freda, and the couple travelled to England and France in search of Imari and Old Paris porcelain, as well as mirrors, chandeliers, furniture and more to add to their collection. He recalled a trip where he came back with "three big shipping containers full of antiques–and a lifetime passion for finding more." As a major supporters of the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Lupins bequeathed many important pieces of porcelain from their collection to the institution, which are displayed in the Lupin Galleries on the second floor of the museum alongside many other remarkable pieces. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer many of the pieces that remained in his collection, as well as an impressive selection of English and French antique furniture, fine silver, lighting, carpets, paintings and more.

Royalty Owners Association (MIPRO), United States Oil and Gas Association (USOGA) and Louisiana Independent Oil and Gas Association (LIOGA).
Despite struggling with traditional academics, his innate business sense, entrepreneurial spirit and unrivaled work ethic enabled him to capitalize on even seemingly unpromising projects and investments early on. One of his first major successes was a dry hole drilling project that Bean redeveloped into a valuable underground natural gas storage facility. He remained involved with the family business, now a forestry management company.
Theo’s successes in business afforded him the opportunity to pursue other passions, including his love of exotic cars and racing, as well as collecting modern art and antiques. Through his affiliations with Historic Sportscar Racing, Ltd., and the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association, he quickly developed a name for himself in the racing world and became known as a fierce competitor.

Rafael C. Goyeneche, a prominent and prolific architect working mainly in Mexico City and Havana, was born in Mexico in 1877. He studied at the San Carlos Academy, the College of Mining and the National School of Fine Arts, where he received the titles of engineer and architect. Goyeneche began his career with Purdy & Henderson Co., a major architecture and engineering firm, where his first projects included department stores and two prominent homes on Avenida Juarez. He designed most of the school buildings and many of the finest homes in Mexico City. As a brilliant young architect, Goyeneche’s skills were highly sought after by Mexico City’s upper crust. Hugo Scherer, a German mining millionaire that came to Mexico in 1869, employed him in 1905 to build a spectacular “Alpine-inspired” country house in Mixcoac, and he was also tapped in 1907 by the Cusi Armella family to design and build a major residence—a project that took nine years to complete. One of Goyeneche’s most important projects was the SuberbieMendiola House designed for prominent couple Enriqueta and Don Emilio Suberbie. Rafael married Ethel Regan Goyeneche, a New Orleans native. She was the granddaughter of the late Otto M. Tennison, a Confederate soldier, and daughter of Walter Regan, the civil engineer who built the Central American railroad system. The couple travelled frequently between Mexico City, Havana and New Orleans. Amidst the chaos and violence of the Mexican Revolution, Goyeneche and his wife, along with tens of thousands of others, emigrated to the United States in 1913. By 1916, he was working in Purdy & Henderson Co.’s New York office. Purdy & Henderson was one of the first firms to establish a presence in Havana and offered expertise for the city’s local designers and architects, as well as assistance with importing the necessary building materials. Goyeneche relocated to Havana and designed and supervised the development of important structures such as the Havana Yacht Club and the Gran Casino Nacional at Marianao. He selected sculptor Aldo Gamba to create an
impressive fountain depicting dancing figures in front of the casino. The building was later updated by another firm in 1928 (much of Goyeneche’s original design was preserved), but the structure was demolished in 1948 to make way for an expansion of the Country Club de La Habana. The young architect also traveled frequently between New Orleans, his wife’s birthplace, and Havana to source materials. Following the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), Mexico City was changing at a rapid pace. The soaring population and significant societal changes in the first half of the twentieth century necessitated a flurry of renovations and demolitions of aging palaces and other colonial structures to allow for verticalization and contemporary development. Additionally, the city’s streets, transportation and other urban elements were also updated. In 1925, Goyeneche designed and oversaw an extensive decade-long renovation in Mexico City of a building located on the historic Zócalo, the city’s main square, to house the Hotel Majestic. The seven-story building’s façade was updated to the neocolonial/neoclassical style, which was in sync with a larger beautification effort focused on the city’s historic core. Goyeneche’s use of traditional materials and his meticulous attention to detail resulted in a final structure that perfectly complemented the existing buildings along the Zócalo, including the Palacio Nacional and the Ayuntamiento. In 1926, he led a neo-baroque transformation of Havana’s San Felipe de Neri church to the headquarters of the Banco de Comercio. Other projects in Cuba included private residences in La Playa and El Vedado, many of which remain intact today. He remarkably oversaw both the two overlapping Havana and Mexico City projects concurrently. After the 1934 riots in Havana, Goyeneche returned to Mexico to see through the Hotel Majestic project to completion. The hotel opened its doors in 1937. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer fine art, antiques and silver descended in the family of Rafael C. and Ethel Regan Goyeneche, Sr., of Mexico City, Mexico; Havana, Cuba; and New Orleans.

66 Rare and Iconic Louisiana Mahogany Armoire in the Federal Manner ca. 1820-1835, the molded cornice over a pair of recessed paneled doors with fluted and stop-fluted false stile and pilasters, each return fitted with a side closet, the central doors opening to reveal a medial belt of three drawers over a rare set of graduated linen drawers, the drawers retaining their period silvered brass pulls and oval backplates, on reeded legs with brass paw casters. h. 96-3/4”, w. 69-1/4”, d. 24” $12,000-$18,000 The present armoire is illustrated in Holden, Bacot, Gontar, et al, “Furnishing Louisiana: Creole and Acadian Furniture, 17351835”, figure 51. It, together with the nearly identical Mercer family armoire, illustrated in figure 50, is the most refined and sophisticated of the group of Creole-style Federal armoires. The use of stop-fluting, extensive reeding, including reeded pilasters, silvered Anglo-American bail pulls and the decision to graduate the linen drawers, suggests the maker was familiar with the sophisticated, high-style French presses being crafted by Lannuier and Phyfe in New York, as well as the finest Philadelphia shops. This armoire incorporates those elements, yet retains the distinct character of Louisiana Creole armoires. After the Mercer armoire was destroyed in the fire at Laura Plantation, where it was on exhibition, the surviving brass foot was obtained for this armoire.

Each in a period frame. 30” x 25”, framed 43” x 35” and 30” x 25”, framed 40-1/2” x 35”, respectively Provenance: Cornelius R. Wortendyke and & wife, Ann Berdan Wortendyke; to their daughter Rachel A. Wortendyke (Mrs. James Anderson); to their son Cornelius Woertendyke Anderson; to his daughter Margaret Anderson (Mrs. Eugene Franklin Emmons) thence by descent in the family to the consignor $1,500-$2,500
James C. Platt was born on October 6, 1818, on Staten Island, New York, though nothing is known of his early life and education. He may well be the James C. Platt whom ship manifests show visiting England in 1844, but he is most certainly the “J.C. Platt, pupil of Mr. Huntington, the celebrated painter of New York” who advertised the opening of his studio in the Franklin Building in the Brooklyn Evening Star of October 30, 1850. He was listed as an active member of the Brooklyn Art Untion Gallery from 1851 and as an exhibitor at the Brooklyn, New York and New York City National Academy of Design 1852-1856. He advertised his portraits in New York newspapers and art magazines thoughout the 1850s, moving his studio to 599 Broadway in New York by 1860. He had returned to Brooklyn by the 1870s, and his works became quite popular, with sales of his works at Cole & Murphy in December 1870, the Brooklyn Art Association in March 1872, and the Institute Studios in April 1873. A notice in the June 7, 1876 Brooklyn Union noted that Platt “is one of the oldest artists in the city, in point of long residence, as his studio at No. 394 State street near Bond. He has a number of paintings just completed, or on the easel, among them a number of panel pictures in oil and several water-color studies . . . An upright panel painting of the celebrated Delaware Water Gap in autumn shows a good deal of bright warm color in the landscape, which contrasts well with the blue of the sky, which is flecked with fleecy clouds. Among the water colors were . . two cabinet pictures [of] Catskill Creek and Kauterskill Cove.” It was doubtless, however, portraits such as the present lot for which he was most celebrated. His portrait of George Washington Dixon (1808-1861) is in the National Portrait Gallery. Platt died on Christmas Eve 1882, and is buried in GreenWood Cemetery in Brooklyn. The Woertendyke family Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Tea Set is offered in this sale, lot 945.

Marshall Joseph Smith, Jr., one of the most talented 19th century landscape artists of southern Louisiana, trained under Adolphe Jacquet, then Richard Clague, Jr.- the city of New Orleans' foremost landscape painter. Smith, along with fellow pupil William H. Buck, accompanied Clague into the rural bayous, swamps and fields, often inaccessible by road, to record the landscape and daily life of tenant farmers and fishermen. Their broad expanses with low horizons, executed through plein-air lighting, and keen attention to detail, redefined French Barbizon painting in a distinct Southern American-style called the Bayou School. Following in the path of his mentor, Smith studied abroad, particularly in Clague's native France, returning to the United States in 1876 and to New Orleans in 1877/1878, just before Clague prematurely died. Upon his death, Smith inherited Clague's sketchbooks and his legacy- recreating and painting anew Clague's sketches from both draft and in situ, often frequenting his favorite locales in St. Tammany Parish along the banks of Lake Ponchartrain and the Tchefuncte River. Smith founded the Southern Art Union in 1880 and the Proteus Carnival Organization in 1882 to further advocate the landscape genre of the Bayou School. Marshall J. Smith, Jr.'s landscapes of daily life of innocuous flora and fauna, much like the sketch offered here are as rich in tradition as are the families and parades through which they have passed. This work, likely executed, on his return (given the Boston canvas supplier stamp) is an homage to the late Clague- in stagnant heat of the setting hours of daylight, a woman of color with a scarlet tignon, leads her cattle homeward toward a small cabin in a clearing of Live Oaks laden in moss. A diminutive scene on a diminutive scale aggrandized by the immense horizon and dominion of the land recalls so many other Smith shanties like "Uncle Toby's Cabin" that graced Griswold's show window in April of 1877: "The rude and rustic habitation [offset]….in the distance is an oak tree remarkable for the truthfulness of color and the and the river view is really striking as a study of perspective"- New Orleans Daily Democrat, 30 April 1877, p.8

Notes: Ian Pickford notes in his authoritative Silver Flatware: English, Irish and Scottish, 1660-1980 (Woodbridge, Suffolk: Antiques Collectors’ Club, 1983) that “this is a scarce variant of the Fiddle pattern dating from the early nineteenth century and made mostly in Scotland and Newcastle, although London examples will be found. The majority of items are single struck . . . although rare double struck examples can be found.” This set is both London-made and double struck (i.e., with the shell pattern on both the front and back of the handle), so it is all the more extraordinary that all of the forks, spoons and serving pieces have the same date and maker’s mark. Uniform sets such as this with no variant or added pieces are quite rare. The absence of knives is not unusual; the thin, stamped sheet silver handles of the time were filled with pitch or plaster and did not survive nearly as well over the decades as did the solid silver forks and spoons. Indeed, it was not uncommon for knives to be purchased separately from a skilled cutler with sturdier bone or wooden handles.

The presumed sitter of this portrait, Lady Elizabeth Harcourt, was the only daughter of Simon Harcourt, 1st Earl Harcourt and his first wife Rebecca Le Bas of Pipewell Abbey. Her father was a member of the Royal Court, having served as Lord of Bedchamber to George II, Ambassador Extraordinary to Mecklenburg-Strelitz, to facilitate the engagement of Princess Charlotte and George III, and Lord Chamberlain of Queen’s Household, among other numerous prestigious positions. He was to end his career as the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. As befitting her father’s position at court, Lady Elizabeth was one of only ten young ladies chosen to be a train bearer to Queen Charlotte at her wedding to George III in 1761. In 1763, Lady Elizabeth wed Sir William Lee, 4th Baronet Hartwell; of their three children, only two sons survived to adulthood.

The Harcourt family were patrons of the arts, and Lady Elizabeth and her brother received drawing lessons from Court painters; for several years they studied pastel under Sir George Knapton. She was considered an able and accomplished artist and her Portrait of George Bingham, 3rd Earl of Lucan as a Boy, sold at Christie’s London: the Althorp Attic Sale, July 8th, 2010, lot 456. Sir George Knapton was a society painter closely associated with the Court of George III. He studied under Jonathan Richardson (1667-1745) and attended St. Martin’s Lane Academy (the precursor of the Royal Academy) before embarking on a seven-year Grand Tour in Italy. While in Rome, he made the acquaintance of several wealthy young Englishmen, all scions of the wealthiest and most privileged aristocratic families. Upon their return to England, these men formed the infamous Society Dilettanti, a club ostensibly for the admiration and promotion of the arts and architecture. Knapton was one of the founding members and was made the official “limner” of the association. According to the Society’s decree of January 1740, “Every member of the Society do make a present of his Picture done by Mr. Geo. Knapton a Member to be hung up in the Room where the said Society meets”; should a member be negligent in this, a formidable fine would result. Knapton maintained this position until his resignation in 1763, completing over twenty portraits. Later “limners” included Sir Joshua Reynolds and Sir Thomas Lawrence. The Society afforded Knapton contact with some of the most influential members of the Royal Court, and in 1750 he was tasked by the then Prince of Wales to catalogue and document the paintings in the royal residences, including those conserved at Kensington Palace and Windsor Castle. Knapton was later named Surveyor of the King’s Pictures, a tenure that lasted from 1765 until his death in 1778. A portrait of Lady Elizabeth Harcourt attributed to George Knapton is in the collection of Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire. The resemblance of the Sudbury portrait and the one offered in this lot are striking; both sitters reveal a distinct physiognomy of high, prominent forehead, slender jawline, narrow shoulders and deeply sloping bosom. The Harcourt Estate and Family Papers are conserved at the Bodleian Libraries Archive, University of Oxford and the Hartwell House Papers are held by the National Archives, Kew, Richmond.

Giltwood frame with artist and title plaque. 48” x 44”, framed 58” x 53” Provenance: Christie’s, New York, New York, May, 1980, lot 69; Christie’s, Ibid., October 25, 1984, lot 89; Christie’s, Ibid., February 15, 1994, lot 42; Kurt E. Schon Ltd., New Orleans, Louisiana; Private collection. $30,000-$50,000 All that glitters in the works of Jacques Wagrez is indeed visual gold of Renaissance grandeur past. Wagrez, a native Frenchman, entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1868 and excelled in the classical/historical genre under the Academicians Isidore-Alexandre-Augustin Pils, Alexandre Cabanal and Henri Lemann, a pupil of Ingres.
He debuted at the Paris Salon of 1876 with a painting of "Eros", followed by numerous successive classical entries such as "Peace and War" "Education of Achilles" and "Perseus Conquering Medusa", until his maiden voyage to Italy in 1883. Wagrez was so captivated by the Italian Renaissance, particularly the Florentine and Venetian Schools, that it never left him. Wagrez's artistic raison d'etre in the years to follow was to capture the prevailing incantation of 16th century humanism that the divine was physically manifest in the beauty and symmetry of the earthly world, namely the individual- as God's greatest creation. The more opulent and beautiful the image, the closer to Godly perfection it could be. Silks, gold, and all the beautiful textiles and currencies that poured in from the Orient and the New World to the cosmopolitan ports of Venice, Genoa and Pisa, could indeed be a reflection and tribute of faith before the Protestant Reformation. Wagrez, with the virtuoso of King Midas, endeavors to capture the mysticism, abundance and intense color of Quattrocento Italian art in modern parlance and style that pays tribute to the Pre-Raphaelites in subject and execution and the linear and decorative "je ne sais quoi" splendor of Art Nouveau to come.

"People will stare, make it worth their while” –Harry Winston 777
777 Impressive Harry Winston Diamond Ring platinum, the ring mounted with an Asscher-cut diamond weighing 31.04 carats, color L and clarity SI2, GIA report # 1216281261, flanked to either side by a tapered baguette-cut diamond weighing approximately 2.20 carats in total, approximate color H and clarity VS1, stamped "WINSTON", "PLATINUM" and "31.05". size 5-1/2 Provenance: Harry Winston; likely purchased from Winston by Thomas Powell Fowler Milbank for his fiancee Loyce Stinson Hand Hawk Butler in 1972; acquired by Bonnie Swearingen from Loyce Stinson Milbank in a private sale in 1979; The Estate of Bonnie Bolding Swearingen, Birmingham, Alabama. $600,000-$900,000 This stunning ring was likely purchased from renowned diamond jeweler Harry Winston by Thomas Powell Fowler Milbank in 1972, at the time of his wedding to Loyce Stinson Hand Hawk Butler. While it would be tantalizing to assume the ring was acquired as an engagement ring for his fiancee, it would be pure conjecture since no confirmatory documentation exists. It was the second marriage for Milbank, scion of the wealthy and socially prominent Milbank family of New York (he was the great-grandson of industrialist and philanthropist Jeremiah Milbank) and the fourth for the socialite Butler, of the famed and influential Stinson aviation family. Milbank had been divorced from his first wife for over twenty-five years, while Loyce Butler had recently seen the resolution of her very public and contentious divorce from the Broadway producer Michael Butler (the cheekily named “hippie producer” responsible for the rock musical Hair). The couple was quietly wed in New York with only a few of their many friends and associates in attendance and honeymooned in Paris. Alas, Loyce and Thomas’ marriage was not to prove a lasting one, and within several years the couple separated; their divorce had only just been finalized by the time of his sudden death at the age of 60 in 1974. Records from the Swearingen Estate reveal that Bonnie purchased the ring privately from Loyce in 1979. This year coincides with the Swearingen's ten year wedding anniversary.

822 Autographed Presidential and First Lady Photos and Memorabilia
821 Two Kentucky Sterling Silver Mint Julep Cups 1963-1968, by Mark J. Scearce, Shelbyville, Kentucky, of traditional slightly tapering cylindrical form with beaded and molded rims, each with the original card. h. 3-3/4”, dia. 3-1/8”; 9.35 total t. oz. Provenance: The Estate of Bonnie Bolding Swearingen, Birmingham, Alabama. Marcus Johnson Scearce (1916-1993), founder of Mark J. Scearce Galleries (now Wakefield-Scearce Galleries) in Shelbyville, is perhaps the only remaining Kentucky maker of hand-crafted silver mint julep cups. After some prototypes in the 1940s, limited production began during the administration of Harry Truman, and since then every Scearce cup has been stamped with the initials of the sitting president at the time it was made. President Lyndon Johnson is known to have ordered 650 cups from Scearce for Christmas gifts one year (placing the order in October and giving Scearce the “Johnson treatment” to ensure their delivery by the holidays). Given the close friendship between LBJ and Bonnie Swearingen, it is likely that these were from that order and a gift from the President himself. $800-$1,200

W. Bush the previous month) but that Bonnie Swearingen’s gift of a “delicious ham made it a very special day”, and another from July of 1993, two weeks after the death of his wife: “For the past fifty-three years I have usually finished personal letters with the phrase ‘Pat joins me in expressing our appreciation’ . . . I can’t say that now in the physical sense, but there is no question that in spiritual sense she joins me in saying that to you today.” $500-$1,000

850 Antoine Poncet (French, b. 1928) “Ochicagogo” carved quartz amorphous sculpture unsigned, rotating on a black marble base, after the 1979 monumental bronze at the Musee de la sculpture en plein air, Jardin Tino Rossi, Paris. h. 12”, w. 10-1/2”, d. 6-1/2” 849
Provenance: The Estate of Bonnie Bolding Swearingen, Birmingham, Alabama. $1,500-$2,500 This sculpture was likely commissioned from the artist by the Swearingens; the couple had several small-scale versions of monumental public sculptures they admired (see the Bertoia sculpture offered lot 852). The Swearingens were close friends with the Canadian-born businessman Nathan Cummings. Cummings, the founder of Consolidated Foods (which included the ubiquitous Sara Lee line) was a renowned art collector and patron; one of his protegees was the artist of this work, Antoine Poncet. All frequently attended the same functions, including a 1970 Washington, D.C. art exhibition sponsored by Cummings, which was described in the Chicago Daily News on June 29, 1970.

852 Harry Bertoia (Italian/American, 1915-1978) “Sonambient”, 1975 sound sculpture of beryllium copper, brass and wood the thin, flexible rods set into a brass plate atop the carved wooden base in a manner to encourage movement and thus produce sound, presented on a black acrylic and lucite base. sculpture h. 37”, w. 8-3/4”, d. 8-3/4”; base h. 36”, w. 14”, d. 14” Provenance: The Estate of Bonnie Bolding Swearingen, Birmingham, Alabama. In 1960, inspired by the sounds various types and lengths of metal rods made when gently manipulated, the Italian-born sculptor and metal worker Harry Bertoia began his series of "tonal" or sound-producing sculptures. Ranging from miniscule to monumental, these Sonambient sculptures, as they soon became known, proved to be one of the artist's most enduring legacies. Experimenting with several metals, it was with the richly patinated beryllium copper that Bertoia found his preferred material, though he would frequently incorporate other metals to create a specific sound or resonance. In 1975, Bertoia designed the large, multi-structured installation at Standard Oil Building Plaza in Chicago - now known as Aon Center. The then Chairman and Chief Executive of Standard Oil was John Swearingen and the Building and its accompanying Plaza was due entirely to his vision and determination; he believed that Standard Oil's headquarters should reflect its reputation as a leading American corporation. Swearingen was involved in every aspect of the construction, from choosing the site, vetting architectural firms and overseeing the blueprints. At its completion in 1974, it dominated the Chicago skyline as the tallest building. A small-scale model of the Standard Oil Building, the sculpture here was gifted to him by the artist. It is composed of long, thin beryllium copper rods set vertically within a brass plate, all atop a wooden base. When in motion, the rods produce a distinctive sound.

Provenance: Cornelius R. Wortendyke and & wife, Ann Berdan Wortendyke; to their daughter Rachel A. Wortendyke (Mrs. James Anderson); to their son Cornelius Wortendyke Anderson; to his daughter Margaret Anderson (Mrs. Eugene Franklin Emmons) thence by descent in the family to the consignor $7,000-$10,000 This magnificent set was made around 1852 by John Hoit Woodward (1812-1891) & Charles Grosjean (ca. 18191865), who were among a handful of suppliers of fine silver to Tiffany & Co. before the Civil War. (One of these suppliers, John C. Moore would become the exclusive supplier around 1860 and go on to create Tiffany’s in-house manufactory.) Woodward was a native of Massachusetts and Grosjean of Bavaria, Germany, and their output was a successful blending of New England forms and exuberant German decoration.
945
The original owners of the set were Cornelius R. Wortendyke (1812-1877) and his wife Ann Berdan (1812-1879). Wortendyke was a wealthy ice merchant, and both he and his wife were scions of old Bergen county New Jersey families. The couple were married in the Greenwich Dutch Reformed Church in New York City on February 15, 1832. They had two daughters, Margaret Wortendyke (1832-1884) and Rachel A. Wortendyke (1835-1870), and divided their time between their houses in New York and Bergen county. Given the date, it is likely that this set was a twentieth wedding anniversary commemorative piece for the family. A short time later, in 1858, Wortendyke commissioned portraits of the entire family from Brooklyn artist James C. Platt. Rachel Wortendyke married commission merchant James Anderson (ca. 1838-1903) on February 11, 1867, in Bergen county. Sadly, in the next decade she would lose her sister, father and mother and inherit all of the family property, including the tea set. It has descended among the family to the present.

Conditions of Sale: 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. (d). By bidding at the Auction as a Bidder or Buyer, and/or by your signature below, you agree to be bound by these terms.
2. Before the Auction (a). ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. (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. 01/04/17
(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. 01/04/17
(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 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction - note that there is no discount for LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable bidders) 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, 333 St. Joseph 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 antiterrorism 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. 01/04/17
(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; (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 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.
