Rose Hill

An Iconic and Historic Property Rome, Georgia Rose Hill, an iconic property nestled in the “Between the Rivers ​ Historic District” of Rome, Georgia and arguably one of the finest historic homes in North Georgia, is aptly named for the timeless beauty of the gardens that adorn its grounds. The original Gothic Revival wood frame structure was built ca. 1850 by Charles Henry Smith (1826-1903); however, it was rebuilt in 1909 in the Greek Revival style by a prominent local family. The original footprint of the sizable grounds included the entire block between Third and Fourth Streets and Third and Fourth Avenues.

A Texas Legend

Sue Trammell Whitfield

Southern Methodist University (SMU) for two years before transferring to The University of Texas at Austin (UT), which her father also attended, to major in Fashion Design and Textiles. She graduated f rom UT in May of 1954.

In a 2005 interview conducted by Joan Gosness, the archivist for SMU, Sue fondly recalls her time at the school studying subjects as various as costume design, business, and languages including German and Spanish (she was fluent in Spanish and conversational in French and German). Sue nurtured a sense of curiosity in her children by encouraging them to pursue their own interests in the same manner that she had explored hers as a young woman.

An active member of her Pi Beta Phi Sorority, Sue met her future husband, West Point cadet William Franklin Whitf ield, at the Pi Phi house at UT while he was visiting f riends who had transferred f rom the military academy. Later, when William was stationed at Ellington Air Force Base outside of Houston, Sue Sue Trammell Whitf ield, a f ifth-generation Texan

fascinated with the stories behind them. Sue and her husband shared this passion for travel and collecting, taking frequent trips together. Each July, Sue and her husband rented a home in Switzerland for the family and would venture to France, Northern Italy and other surrounding areas to explore and, of course, go antiquing. Over the years, Sue amassed an impressive collection of antique furniture, silver, fine art and everything in between.

Her fascination with fashion and costume design was also a lifelong hobby. Sue enjoyed attending the Santa Fe Opera to see the costumes the company would create for each show. After attending a show, she would often come home and sketch the pieces that had caught her eye. While her children were young, she would draw costume ideas for Halloween and, upon their approval, would go to the fabric store to bring her ideas to life. Sue even created custom outfits for her daughter’s figure skating competitions; her sketchpad was never far from her, which is a testament to her creative spirit By the early 1990s, Sue and Whit often returned to Houston, splitting their time between the two cities.

Active in both communities, they enjoyed their memberships in the Albuquerque Country Club, Albuquerque Petroleum Club, The Houston Country Club, and the Bayou Club. Sue was a member of The Junior League of Houston, The Junior League of Albuquerque, and The River Oaks Garden Club helping to plan many fundraisers and creating designs for the flower shows.

A Lifelong Learner with an Eye for Beauty Sue’s artistic abilities and innate curiosity fueled her passion for collecting. She had traveled the world with her parents and grandparents, and this helped develop her deep appreciation for art and design.

While her mother was an avid collector of Asian arts, Sue was drawn to European antiques. With an eye for beauty and a love for history, she appreciated the workmanship and artistry behind each piece, and was

A Texas Legend Sue Trammell Whitfield .A

Legacy of Giving

Sue’s grandfather, Walter W. Fondren, Sr., was a legendary businessman and a founder of Humble Oil Company, which later became ExxonMobil. Her grandmother, Ella Fondren, met Walter while working as a young woman at her family’s boardinghouse following her father’s death. The prominent couple were a force to be reckoned with – Ella not only advised Walter in business decisions such as key oil acquisitions, but the couple also worked together in their philanthropic pursuits, a shared passion that Ella carried on even after his untimely death in 1939.

However, political upheavals were so f requent at the time that their f irst child was born a citizen of Mexico, their next six children were born citizens of the Republic of Texas, and the seven youngest were born citizens of the United States.

The couple moved to Falls County, Texas ca. 1856, where they remained until their deaths in 1888.

Harriet and Robert died within two weeks of each other – an obituary in an Abilene newspaper dated August 20, 1888 recognizes the couple as among the “old pioneers” and interestingly notes that, “Mr. Wyers [sic] claimed to have been in the battle of San Jacinto. After that he moved to Houston and made the f irst brick ever made in that village and erected one of the f inest cabins.” Later generations moved near Abilene, and eventually to Houston, where they engaged in various businesses, but primarily ranching.

Sue had immense respect for the tenacity and grit of her forbearers that settled in Texas. She was extremely proud of her family’s Texas heritage and this reverence undoubtedly influenced her deep love for her home state.

Despite enduring the loss of three children and her husband, Mae still found joy in life. Her innate eye for beauty fueled a lifelong passion for fashion, design and collecting. In 1974, she was honored as one of the ten best-dressed women in Baton Rouge.

The Livaudais-Walshe Family An Antique and Decorative Arts Collection From a Family With a Fascinating Past That Includes Louis XV and Edgar Degas (wife of Carl Ernst Fehr), and granddaughter, Eileen Joan Fehr, all lifelong New Orleanians. These three generations of women were very proud of their family’s connection to the history of Louisiana and were pleased and privileged to maintain membership in the Society of the Founders of the City of New Orleans as well as the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Jacques Julien Esnoul de Livaudais (1754-1838), a native of St. Malo, Brittany, established his permanent home in New Orleans in 1727 after commanding the Loirre (whose crew had staged an unsuccessful mutiny against its previous captain) to the Port of New Orleans. At 31, he was already a twenty-year veteran of the navy, having made at least six voyages to the New World, many to the French colony of Louisiana.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to present a selection of antique furniture and decorative arts from the estates of Aurora Dugue Livaudais (daughter of Walter D. Livaudais and Frances C. Ochsner and wife of Dr. Thomas J. Walshe), her daughter, Eileen Avis Walshe

A skilled sailor, fluent in Spanish and of courageous and adventurous temperament, he was well-suited to assisting in the establishment of la Nouvelle Orleans. After a harrowing adventure transporting 2,000 head of cattle from Spanish Florida (whose Governor permitted this transaction with the French after Livaudais managed to fend off a British frigate using two pirogues fashioned into a catamaran fitted with a single cannon) and serving in the Natchez War, he was ultimately appointed Captain of the Port of New Orleans in 1733 by Louis XV. He served admirably in this post under four Governors until the French ceded Louisiana to the Spanish in 1762. Livaudais was made a Knight of the Royal and Military Order of St. Louis in 1770 as thanks for his service. He died in New Orleans on May 6, 1773, survived by his wife Marie Genevieve Babin and nine children (among them Joseph Enoul Dugue de Livaudais (1854-1838), who served in Galvez’ Militia during the Revolutionary War and the patriot of the family’s D.A.R. descent).

Livaudais owned many arpents of land, both rural plantation and urban plots; his plantation later became Faubourg Livaudais, comprising the city of Lafayette, then the seat of Jefferson Parish. His family remained there for some time, both prosperous and influential. Joseph’s great-grandson John Emile Livaudais (1835-1891), for instance, was a partner in the firm of important cotton factors Musson, Prestige & Co. (It is the offices of this firm depicted in Edgar Degas’ famous “A Cotton Office in New Orleans”.)

His son Walter D. Livaudais (1869-1950), a fifty-year agent for the Louisiana and Nashville Railroad, was the father of Aurora Dugue Livaudais Walshe, the matriarch of three generations of New Orleans women whose estates we are proud to offer in this auction

Evelyn Wilson A Noted Houston Interior Decorator and Antique Dealer With a Trusted Eye For Detail

Evelyn Tressa Wilson, noted Houston interior designer, antique dealer and esteemed expert of early American furniture, was widely celebrated for her trusted eye.

Born in Thorndale, Texas in 1915, Evelyn met her husband, Thurman Lee Wilson, Sr., as a teenager while staying with her aunt in Baytown. Wilson, a native of Pasadena, Texas, worked for Shell Oil Company (initially as a star player on their professional baseball team). After marrying, Evelyn and her husband settled in the Park Place section of Houston. Evelyn considered her husband to be the love of her life, and the couple remained married for over 50 years.

Evelyn had an undeniable self-assured drive to succeed and an entrepreneurial spirit. When she began working at a local appliance store as a young woman, she convinced the owner to allow her to utilize a corner of his shop to sell early American furnishings. That agreement came with the caveat that Evelyn would purchase whatever did not sell. Soon Evelyn’s curated corner produced more revenue than the entire store. They eventually became partners and transformed the shop into what became

Considered a respected expert of early American furniture, Evelyn was often asked to examine collections and estates across the country. Her location in Texas was considered an asset by collectors wishing to sell pieces from their collections as they could discreetly place pieces in Evelyn’s shop, located far away from the top dealers in New York and Philadelphia, without upsetting competitive neighboring dealers.

As one would expect, Evelyn’s River Oaks home was considered an exceptional showcase for her style, but it tragically burned down and many of the pieces were lost. Evelyn and her husband moved to Bayou Bend Tower following the loss of their home.

Evelyn and Thurman Lee Wilson, Sr.

one of the first early American furniture shops in Texas.

Eager to fill the store with fresh inventory, she would have to travel in search of antiques and art, even going as far as California to make some of her first purchases.

Around 1965, Evelyn opened her own shop on Main Street in downtown Houston, Evelyn Wilson Interiors, serving both commercial and private clients, and offering one of the most important collections of fine traditional furniture in the Southwest. Her taste began to expand to 18th- and 19th-century English furnishings, and during this time, Evelyn began to travel extensively to seek out pieces for her shop and her clients. When her husband retired from Shell, he joined her booming business to help Evelyn as she continued to work tirelessly until retiring and closing the store in the 1990s, then well into her 80s.

168 books total each 8-1/8” x 5-1/4” to 8-5/8” x 5-5/8” $50,000-$80,000 Spanning the late Georgian to the High Victorian era, no periodical better illustrated the recreations of English landed gentry than The Sporting Magazine. It was the first periodical devoted exclusively to sportsmanship, but its focus and features would evolve over the near-century of its publication. Early issues are devoted primarily to the Sport of Kings and other pastimes of the nobility (the regular column “Affairs of Honour” reported on the outcome of duels), but by the 1820s the focus has shifted to the estates of the landed gentry: fox-hunting, fishing, gameshooting. The staff addition of Welsh Charles James Appleby (pen name Nimrod) proved a boon to the periodical, benefiting from his wide network of colleagues and contributors, giving the magazine a tone both authoritative and chummy. The series is a record of laws and mores of the time, not the least of which was a fairly consistent anti-cruelty stance and would eventually gain the patronage and sponsorship of Prince Albert. Each issue was extensively illustrated with engravings, including the works of prominent artists such as The Herrings, Henry Alken, George Stubbs and George Morland. The magazine’s chief competitor was New Sporting Magazine, founded in 1831 by Northumbrian Robert Smith Surtees (1805-1864), a lawyer until 1838 when he inherited the family estate, which allowed him to pursue his singular passion of riding to hounds. (He even gave up editorship of the magazine, though he would continue as a contributor; his Mr. Jorrocks, the cockney grocer obsessed with fox hunting, is one of the great comic characters of English literature.)

176 detail

The two magazines were merged in 1855, and continued publication until 1870. The industrial age had shifted economic focus from the countryside to the big cities, and the emerging middle class found new lawn sports and other leisure activities for their amusement.

The magnificent bindings of Henry Arthur Johnstone are well-known; examples are conserved at both the Folger Shakespeare Library and the University of Toronto collection of British Armorial Bindings. The library was sold en bloc in 1921 to British bibliopole H.J.B. Clements, and occasional volumes from Johnstone’s library (primarily natural history and sporting works, but also classics, popular novels and histories) still surface on the market from time to time, all with the same distinctive binding. It is surprising then that so little is known of Johnstone himself. He is very likely the Henry Arthur Johnstone born in 1861 and baptized at Christ Church, Camden on September 9, 1863, the son of William David and Harriet Johnstone. The elder Johnstone was a maker of surgical instruments, and his son followed him in this trade. He married, on August 1, 1880, Harriet Pimlett, and the couple had five children. The 1901 census - two years after these bindings were made - show the family at 28 Tysoe Street, an affluent upper middle class address on Wilmington Square, Clerkenwell. Johnstone retired sometime between the marriages of his daughters Rose and Ruby in 1922 and 1928, respectively, and died in October of 1938.

His son, Theodore Pettibone Case (18181891), was a local scholar and philanthropist, and his daughter Jane Frances Case (1813-1890) married Dr. Sylvester Willard (1799-1866) in 1830; the Cases and Willards had magnificent neighboring homes at 196 and 203 Genesee Street, respectively. Theodore’s son Willard Erastus Case (1857-1918) was trained as an attorney, but his true passion was science; he obtained numerous patents from his studies in converting heat to mechanical energy. He inherited the Willard home now known as the Willard-Case Mansion - in 1916, and he and his son Theodore Willard Case (1888-1944), who shared his father’s enthusiasm for light and energy, converted one of the ground’s greenhouses to a laboratory.

221

It was here that Theodore W. Case would invent the lightsensitive thalofide cell used as a top-secret ship-to-ship signaling system during World War I. Discoveries made during the development of this vacuum tube led to the technology of using light to record sound on film and the first true “talking” motion pictures. (His charming test Gus Visser and His Singing Duck (1925) is conserved by the National Film Registry.) After a falling out with the notoriously litigious Lee De Forest, developer of the Phonofilm process (largely derived from Case’s technology), Case sold the talking picture patents to William Fox of the Fox film corporation in 1926 and worked with Fox technicians to develop the groundbreaking Movietone process.

The success of Movietone and true talking pictures made Case a very wealthy man, and he moved to a new mansion on South Auburn Street. The Chinese figures in the present lot, which had been displayed in the entrance of the Willard-Case Mansion, followed to a place of prominence in the entrance hall of the new South Auburn Street home. The Willard-Case Mansion, and the Case Research Lab on its grounds, are now the Cayuga Museum of History and Art.

Framed.

38-1/2” x 53-1/4”, framed 56-1/4” x 69-1/4” $3,000-$5,000 A native Venetian, Jacopo Amigoni was a prolific painter of portraits and mythological scenes that received wide recognition across Europe. Demand for his work by the aristocracy yielded a lucrative market in England where Amigoni moved in 1729, perfecting “parlor scenes”, such as this, which depicted large-scale works with sensuous deities and mythological figures in languor or sporting games for British estates and country homes. The subject of “Venus and Adonis” was particularly popular in the U.K. as the tale from Ovid’s Metamorphoses was also adopted into poetry by Shakespeare, Constable and an opera by John Blow. This copy, contemporaneous with one of the artist’s period, was likely executed by a follower or pupil of the artist.

105” x 124”; display rod l. 136” Provenance: Collection of Sue Trammell Whitfield, Houston, Texas. $5,000-$8,000 The position of grand louvetier dates back to the reign of Charlemagne when the Emperor created a corps of elite huntsmen specifically tasked with the eradication of the wolf population. As described in Section 69 of the Capitulare de villis, the guide to the governance and management of the numerous royal estates, methodical records were to be kept of the number of wolves killed, pelts of said wolves were to be sent to court, and aggressive hunts were to be undertaken each May to rout out and kill as many wolf cubs as possible.

The position was briefly suspended in the 18th century, but re-formed several years later; it exists to this day as an administrative position that oversees the maintenance of wildlife and the control of pests and vermin.

Gustave Massion, Sale Catalogues, A. Normand, Nantes, March 14, 1892, lot 244 $15,000-$25,000

The 1881 first semester edition of Revue de Bretagne et Vendee, a journal of arts and culture in historic Brittany, contained an article on the emerging art movement in the region, and singled out the wood sculpture of Alfred Delmas.

It noted that several Parisian journals had taken note of the artist, among them the prestigious Monde Illustre, many of which had published his designs. (The July 28, 1878 Monde Illustre, for instance, illustrated three panels of ValoisAngouleme courts carved by Delmas after the manuscripts of Bernard de Montfaucon which were shown at the 1878 Exposition Universelle.)

to house his large collection of paintings, antiques and, most importantly, significant Belgian tapestries. Delmas' buffet was showcased among these treasures. (The building and street are now renamed the Hotel de la Marine, place GeneralMellinet, and is currently the headquarters of the Akeneo software company.)

After Massion's death in 1891, his collection was auctioned

by A. Normand at the hotel Massion on March 14, 1892. The sale catalogue lists the buffet as lot 244: "Grand Meuble de salle a manger . . . une grande composition: Francois Ier, a Fontainebleau . . . signed: Delmas". (The subsequent lot - a Renaissance-style credenza - was also by Delmas.) The first semester edition of "L'Art et L'Idee" reports that the buffet brought 2500 francs: a princely sum, equivalent to about $13,500 today. The purchaser is not known, nor is any subsequent history of the buffet until its appearance a century later and a continent away in a 2001 auction in North Hills, California.

This is unquestionably the present lot: "in two parts, with a pediment . . . at the bottom, three panels; the one in the middle representing Francois I presenting a painting of the Holy Family to his court; the other two, portraits of Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael . . . above, three bas reliefs . . . flanked by two extensively sculpted colossi".

Given his talent and appeal, it is surprising then that virtually nothing is known of Delmas himself. His name appears in art journals through the mid-1880s (the 1884/85 Revue des Arts Decoratifs said of his carved floral medallion which received a bronze medal at the 8th Exposition des Industries d'Art: "it is difficult to understand that it is possible to carve wood with a similar perfection"), but thereafter disappears. The Delmas family was in Nantes since at least the early 18th century, but a thorough search of the vital records, censuses and poll registers shows no Alfred Delmas that might be the sculptor.

The likeliest candidate is the Alfred Isaac Constant Delmas born in Nantes on September 9, 1850, the son of merchant Louis Auguste Delmas and his wife Victoire Genie. The Revue de Bretagne article noted that Delmas was "not yet 40" in 1881, and he is the only Alfred Delmas born in Nantes of the right age; moreover, his brother, Georges Aime Delmas, was a "menuisier" - a carpenter or joiner - suggesting his possible association with transforming Delmas' sculpture into furniture.

"M. Massion", the original owner of the buffet, was Nantaise industrialist and sugar refiner Gustave Massion (1832-1891). In 1874, Massion built the hotel Massion at no. 2 place Launay in Nantes: a grand 2,800 square-foot neoclassical mansion after an 1828 design of Etienne Blon and Louis Amouroux, created

This magnificent buffet - well-recorded and handsomely placed in its time - is spectacular evidence of Delmas' talent, and its re-discovery merits further research into the life and identity of Alfred Delmas so that he might be restored to his position of one of the great wood carvers of La Belle Epoque.

The article mentions several important pieces of furniture by Delmas in the Renaissance and Louis XIII style - an armoire, several bibliotheques, a credenza - and "un magnifique buffet Renaissance, que possede M. Massion".

"Ce meuble est a deaux corps, avec fronton. Dans le bas, trois panneaux; celui du milieu represent Grancois Ie montrant a so cour le tableau de la Sainte-Famille; les deux autres, les portrais de Leonard de Vinci et de Raphael. Au-dessus, trois bas reliefs d'un travail tres soigne. Le haut du buffet est flanque de dex colosses sculptes largement".

La.”. size 4” x 5”, handle drop 4”, total weight 150.0 grams Provenance: Lucy Marie Claiborne Coleman (1888-1919), The Claiborne-Humphreys Mansion, Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana, to her sister Marie Louise Claiborne Perrilliat (1877-1957), to her son Howard K. Perrilliat (19041975), thence by descent through the family. $4,500-$7,000 Lucy Marie Claiborne was born on June 17, 1888, the daughter of Judge Charles Ferdinand Claiborne (1848-1938) and his wife Amelie Soniat Dufosat (1855-1917), and greatgranddaughter of first Louisiana Governor W.C.C. Claiborne (1775-1817). She made her debut in the winter of 1906, attending dozens of cotillions, such as the December 30 Flower Cotillion given by Mr. & Mrs. Norvin Harris (“Miss Lucy Claiborne [was] queenly as a scarlet poppy”) , culminating in her reign as Queen of Atlanteans in the 1907 Carnival” “Miss Claiborne assumed the role she was so well-fitted to fill with extreme grace and loveliness. Her robe was of chantilly lace over a silk chiffon, heavily embroidered in gold and spangles.

A deMedici collar, formed of gold and lace spanned the shoulders, and from it fell the long court mantle of creamtinted satin, richly embossed win gold epaulettes and gold embroideries.” She was presented in France that summer, traveling with her mother and maiden aunt and namesake, Lucie Claiborne (1845-1915). Her name appears literally hundreds of times in the society pages in the following years as a popular guest and hostess of social and charitable functions. On January 11, 1916, she married Illinois Central Railroad executive Samuel Carey Coleman (1878-1923), who later held a seat at the New York Cotton Exchange. The marriage was sadly short-lived, however; Lucy Claiborne Coleman died at her home at 1905 Esplanade Avenue on January 19, 1919, a victim of the Spanish Flu epidemic. As she had no children, her estate was divided among her siblings and their children, among them Marie Louise Claiborne Perrilliat (1877-1957), in whose family the present and following lot have descended.

566 American Gothic Revival Rosewood and Marble-Top Center Table ca. 1845, after a design by Alexander Jackson Davis, and probably executed by Alexander Roux, New York, the period hexagonal marble top with a reeded edge, over a conforming apron with ripple molding along its top edge, and a scalloped lower edge with pendant finial with a ball end, supported by cluster-column posts on a base with trefoil feet, this example retaining its tracery hanging lanterns between columns. h. 31”, w. 36-5/8”, d. 36-5/8” $10,000-$15,000 The design for this iconic table is attributed to the New York architect Alexander Jackson Davis (18031892) who is noted for designing the famous country villa “Kenwood” located outside of Albany, New York and built in 1842 for industrialist Joel Rathbone.

An illustration of the drawing room at Kenwood is featured in Andrew Jackson Downing’s book The Architecture of Country Houses and shows an example of this Gothic table as its centerpiece. The present table is part of an elite group of American Gothic Revival furniture, the most notable of which is a table that was purchased for the Davis-designed Gothic villa Belmead, in Powhatan County, Virginia, about 1845. That table sold in these galleries in 2000 and is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Other examples of this form are in the collections of the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia (The Virginia Carroll Crawford Collection), The Detroit Institute of Arts, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

It was during his dissertation at MIT that he first used strobe lights, with the capacity of up to 120 flashes per second, to take images of the intricate workings of motors to better understand the interactions of the various elements. Realizing the potential of this technology could go well beyond the confines of the laboratory, he joined with naturalists, marine biologists, and artists to create then inconceivable images of motion.

These photographs were published in some of the most read magazines of the time, including National Geographic and Life magazines. The portfolio of photographs offered here include some of Edgerton’s most acclaimed images, including “Milk Drop Coronet”, “Ballet Piercing an Apple” and “Cutting the Card Quickly”. In 1956, Edgerton was named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

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.
