Welcome to

OCTOBER from the President

"You can't imagine how reassured I feel to live surrounded by these things that belonged to us, which have been so familiar for many years, and which remind me of you."

– Pierre Bergé

April 24, 2009 | Lettres à Yves (2010)

Making the decision to sell a lifetime collection is an emotional process. While material possessions are objects, they are also deeply personal reflections of the lives we’ve lived – mementos with the power to transport us to cherished moments from the past.

When Yves Saint Laurent died in 2008, his longtime partner, Pierre Bergé, worked with Christie’s to sell much of the collection the couple had amassed over their decades together. The landmark sale included items from their iconic duplex at 55 Rue de Babylone and Saint Laurent’s own Rue Bonaparte apartment.

As much as Bergé enjoyed the process of collecting and living with the pieces they acquired, he was never one for nostalgia. Being part of the process of offering and seeing their beloved items find new homes was more significant than being surrounded by them for the rest of his life. When was asked if he missed any item or regretted selling everything, Bergé replied, “All and none. All and none.”

At NOAG, we understand just how personal each collection is, and we take great pride in capturing and sharing each of their unique stories. One of my favorite aspects of this job is getting to know a collection through the eyes of its collectors. Over the years, I have heard some unbelievable stories, many of which make it into print within the pages of our catalogues, that further cement the personal connection behind the collections offered at auction.

Since my first visit to Natchez, Mississippi in June, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Kevin Stone and Mark Diamond, two of the most thoughtful, passionate and knowledgeable collectors I’ve ever met, as they prepare to sell items from their lifetime collection, as well as from their beloved shop, Kevin Stone Antiques.

Since meeting in 1999, Kevin and Mark have built a remarkable life centered on their shared love for travel, learning and antiques, a passion that has informed their collecting journey and led them to the impressive restoration of Natchez’s magnificent Banker’s House (ca. 1836). Additionally, Kevin’s innately tasteful eye and Mark’s business acumen realized Kevin Stone Antiques’ full potential as a world - class shop.

Not only have I learned a great deal from Kevin and Mark, but I have also been inspired by their commitment to each other and their partnership in building the life they had once dreamed of. Playing a role in ushering this new chapter of their lives will be something I remember fondly for the rest of mine, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity and for their trust.

Over the course of several weeks in August, we inventoried, carefully packed and ultimately transported the contents of the Banker’s House to our gallery in New Orleans, processing more than 1,500 lots, the first 327 of which we are delighted to present in Session I of this auction. Of course, none of this would have been possible without NOAG’s outstanding Operations team, who ensured each item was properly packed, tracked and safely stored.

We will continue to curate additional furniture, decorative objects, paintings and more from the Kevin Stone and Mark Diamond Collection over subsequent sales. In the meantime, I encourage you to read about Kevin and Mark’s extraordinary life, career and collection in the following pages.

Session II of our October Estates Auction features the lifetime collection of Reverend Gerard F. Young, which includes over 100 lots of Louisiana furniture and fine art and is one of the most comprehensive of its kind to come to market in many years, ranging from a rare pair of cabinets from the Ursuline Convent to a beautiful country scene by William Henry Buck.

The October Estates Auction takes place Saturday, Oct. 19, and Sunday, Oct. 20, beginning at 10 a.m. CT. As always, bidding is available in person, by telephone, absentee and online via Live Auctioneers and Invaluable.

I also welcome you to join us for a special Evening Reception on Thursday, Oct. 10, from 5 to 7:30 p.m., during our first week of exhibition. Additionally, our gallery is open for viewing beginning Monday, Oct. 7. We will also be open Saturday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

See you at the auction,

Taylor Eichenwald President

WORLD The of KEVIN STONE & MARK DIAMOND

Featuring the Collection of Kevin Stone Antiques

A New Orleans Legacy

For nearly three decades, Kevin Stone Antiques was a Magazine Street staple, offering an inimitable level of quality and distinction in antiques, fine art, decorative objects and interior decorating services.

Relationships were central to the success of the beloved and revered shop, which differentiated itself with a worldclass, service-minded and personal approach that attracted prominent clients from around the world.

collections

“ We wouldn’t have a business if it weren’t for the intimate relationships we built with our clients. Interior design and antiques are personal… you’re selling something clients are going to live with day to day. It has always been about the client and about giving them the very best.”

At the heart of the shop’s reputation for excellence were Kevin Stone and his partner, Mark Diamond. Together, the avid collectors and antique dealers have built a formidable career and a vibrant life centered on their shared passion for historic preservation, decorating and antiques.

Stone and Diamond’s extraordinary personal collection of hand-selected pieces reflect some of the very best in collecting, mirroring the exemplary eye that made their beloved New Orleans shop a one-of-a-kind.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to present part one of this extensive collection from the world of Kevin Stone and Mark Diamond, featuring selections from Kevin Stone Antiques.

S A Dynamic Duo

tone and Diamond credit their success to hard work, the importance of which both learned at an early age and the tenet that fueled their respective journeys until meeting each other in 1999.

Raised on a farm in the small, rural town of Altheimer, Arkansas, Stone acquired a taste for the antique business at his mother’s garage sales, where at just 11 years old he discovered his innate talent for closing a sale. Even as a kid, Stone was also keenly attuned to quality versus quantity, a value he proudly shared with his mother.

With big dreams and the desire to live in a big city, Stone left the University of Arkansas after one year to enroll in Mrs. Wade’s Fashion Merchandising School in Dallas in 1982. The school, Stone would very soon discover, was a sham, but his love for merchandising had been sparked. He would go on to work at an apparel mart before joining a women’s wholesaler, where even as a part-time employee, he became the brand’s most successful salesperson.

In Dallas, Stone continued building on his knowledge and love of history, antiques and design. Eventually, he pursued a career in interior design, something he had learned a great deal about from his former partner, designer Milton Kent, with whom Stone owned Kent Stone Antiques in North Henderson Avenue in Dallas for nearly 20 years.

collections

A wildly successful era for antiques, these years were marked by tremendous growth for Stone, who served as an expert for the now defunct Southern Accents magazine, acquired an enviable Texas client base, and opened the first Kevin Stone Antiques on Magazine Street in 1986. The shop would be one of the first on Magazine Street to offer high quality antiques.

In 1997, Stone set his eyes on New Orleans full with the goal of slowing down, having left Dallas after dissolving his business with Kent Stone Antiques. His chapter in the Crescent City, however, would turn out to be Stone’s most significant one yet.

It was Maria Hardeveld, a fellow New Orleans antiques dealer with a shop next to Stone’s, who would introduce him to the person who would help take his life and his career to the next level.

Diamond grew up in Kenner, Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans, and spent every Sunday at his family’s farm in Mississippi, where he was happiest surrounded by animals. His mother, an avid collector of country antiques, also instilled in him a love for antiques and design.

During his undergraduate years, Diamond worked at a local veterinarian’s office and eventually applied to veterinary school at Louisiana State University. His first year would prove to be challenging for personal reasons, however, and he ultimately pursued and earned his MBA from Tulane University. After more than a decade in hospital administration, Diamond sought to charter a new course and pursue one of his passions: become a chef or an antique dealer.

Meeting Stone, he says, was serendipitous. That evening, he told one of his friends, “I met the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.” The rest, as they say, is history.

The couple’s shared vision for excellence would become their guidepost. Combining their strengths –Stone’s tasteful eye and Diamond’s business acumen –they continued to build on the success of Kevin Stone Antiques, traveled to more than 30 antique shows per year and even renovated 15 properties together (Stone has renovated 38 houses in all).

I have made a couple of fortunes in the antiques business, but it was meeting Mark that made everything possible and made Kevin Stone Antiques a success beyond my dreams.”

collections

Stone and Diamond set Kevin Stone Antiques apart by being fully present in their business. From purchasing containers and estates in Europe to offloading the trucks in New Orleans and meticulously inspecting each piece, they were involved every step of the way. This personal attention to detail would further cement Kevin Stone Antiques as the go - to shop for discerning clients in search of truly exceptional antiques.

We have always wanted the real thing and been particular about what we sell or collect – how it looks, how it feels, what its story is. We were tedious about teaching clients why something was different, why it mattered, why it was unique. Our shop wasn’t for everyone, and we were okay with that.”

Such a formidable career has awarded Stone and Diamond with some extraordinary experiences, one of their most cherished being their appearance on the French television series “Des Racines et des Ailes” (Roots and Wings) in 2004. The show, which extensively followed the progression of an antiques purchase, was intended to give French people an understanding of why so many Americans were traveling to France to purchase antiques. It also made Stone and Diamond household names.

Being on “Des Racines et des Ailes,” Kevin says, changed everything. Their appearance served as a catalyst for acquiring new business at an unprecedented level. With direct access to chateaus and estates, Kevin Stone Antiques could now compete with high - end shops at a lower price point and without a middle man, making them a trusted partner for some of the world’s most prominent clients.

Over the course of their 25 years together, Stone and Diamond have built a spirited life around their shared passions and extraordinary style and amassed an impressive personal collection.

“

Rarely do people work together 24/7 and make it, but Mark and I have navigated that for more than 25 years. This is who we are. Everything we do, we do together. It’s how we are happiest.”

collections

Combining their love of historic preservation, decorating and antiques, the couple decided to take on the restoration of a historic home in Natchez, Mississippi, having been drawn to the area by its historic architecture. When they first laid eyes on the magnificent Banker’s House (ca. 1836), they knew they were home.

Over the course of a year, Stone and Diamond poured their hearts and souls into transforming the Banker’s House into the masterpiece it once was, an undertaking that would become one of their most significant and personal projects.

“

This home has been a labor of love. Mark and I renovated it at the highest level because that’s what it deserved. We have loved it here; it will be hard to part.”

A Mississippi Masterpiece

When Levin R. Marshall, a prominent businessman and banker, moved to Natchez in 1831 to become cashier of the United States Bank, he could’ve never imagined that he would also bring to life one of the area’s most distinct and, now, historic properties.

Having acquired extensive sugar and cotton plantations, Marshall constructed himself a magnificent suburban residence, known as Richmond, just one mile south of the city. When he opened the Commercial Bank of Natchez, a notable feat and architectural marvel in its own right, however, he decided he would also need a Natchez home for the purpose of entertaining.

This home, built between 1835 and 1838 adjoining the Commercial Bank of Natchez – one of the only U.S. houses to be attached to a bank – fittingly became known as the Banker’s House and received its designation as a National Historic Landmark in October 1974.

A significant example of Greek Revival architecture, the Banker’s House, built on an airy center - hall plan familiar in many Southern towns, impressively features carved limestone across the building’s

entire façade and 20-inch walls made of thick brick with scored plaster. The limestone was transported from Cincinnati by river specifically for use in this structure, and the marvelous woodwork in the home’s interiors – including its 28 - in - tall baseboards and 18-in-wide window and door casings – was carved from local longleaf pine, making the house a notable one - of - a - kind in Natchez. Strikingly, the house features 14 - ft. ceilings both downstairs and upstairs and has marble mantels on all 14 of its fireplaces.

When a cotton blight affected the area, Marshall was forced to sell both the bank and the house at auction. The bank building served a variety of uses through the years, including as a Christian Science center in the 1970s, and then was a girls’ school and a boarding house before sitting vacant for many years.

During its years of abandonment, the house was known as “haunted” by neighborhood children, who would often play inside, sliding down the banister, which today still bears signs of the breaks where many of these children fell.

In 2021, the house, which by this point was in dire need of restoration, would begin a chapter of renewal as Stone and Diamond’s magnificent private residence and home to their exquisite personal collection.

An Extraordinary Home for Two

The Banker’s House required a full floor - up renovation that included all - new plumbing, wiring and electrical systems. Additionally, 80 percent of the exterior plaster and 60 percent of the interior plaster, which had been released from the brick, was replaced, and all woodwork was meticulously stripped and repainted.

Retaining the house’s rich history was essential to Stone and Diamond, who painstakingly restored even the smallest details to their original splendor.

In 2021, the couple moved into their new family home, one of Natchez’s finest and most elegant, housing with them their collection of more than 25 years – a testament that historic homes can function and inspire as beautiful modern living spaces.

That’s the thing about antiques – people don’t realize that it’s pretty easy to live with them. It’s just a different way; you have to be a little bit more careful.”

collections

A Collection from the Heart

Stone and Diamond’s collection is a stunning reflection of their shared love for antiques, their inimitable style and the full life they have built together. The items, the majority of which they acquired over decades of traveling through Europe, showcase the very best in collecting. Every hand - selected piece in their collection possesses a story, contributing to the vibrancy and sophistication of the historic house they called home.

While the avid collectors ensured every room in the house contained distinctive furniture and decorative objects, it was the living room – a cherished and celebratory space – that held some of their most prized possessions.

“Everything in this home is from the heart. We bought these pieces because we loved them. We picked them for their quality or their rarity or because they spoke to us in some way. Nothing about this collection is ordinary.”

A magnificent 18th-century Genovese chandelier, one of a pair and originally unwired, served as the living room’s anchor, and Aubusson tapestries that once served as door coverings during the Napoleon III era were custom-made to be window shades for the home’s entire downstairs. All of the drapery, hand-made from Pierre Frey fabrics, was sewn by Carolyn Clark, a local seamstress. A pair of chairs in the Louis XV style, strikingly covered in alligator skin, are also among the couple’s favorite pieces once kept in their living room.

While Stone and Diamond had expected to downshift their life upon moving to Natchez, they found themselves busier than ever, frequently

hosting parties in their magnificent home. An avid cook, Diamond prepared many a grand meal in the house’s original kitchen, now outfitted with modern amenities with a traditional feel.

In the dining room, anchored by the second Genovese chandelier, the couple showcased their extensive collection of porcelain, from Delft and Old Paris to Derby, in a majestic Irish breakfront cabinet. One of Stone’s most special acquisitions was also kept in this room: a set of 12 European Oak chairs with custom leather coverings by Fortuny, likely the venerable Venetian fabric house’s only leather pattern ever produced. Stone first fell in love with them at a dinner party in Italy and, after much persistence and patience, purchased them years later.

“We

have owned some of these items for longer than we’ve been together. Offering them at auction feels a bit like allowing your children to move into a new home. It is bittersweet to let them go.”

Exterior of the Banker's House

collections

The couple’s eye for the finest antiques and distinct details is evident through their entire collection and in the manner in which they thoughtfully decorated the Banker’s House, which they peppered with personal connections and delightful surprises. These include a bed Stone has slept in since he was 12 years old, acquired from New Orleans by his family in Arkansas sometime between 1850 and 1860; the piano Stone has played since he was 18 years old; 72-inch televisions hidden within 18th-century armoires; dozens of reference books they have used throughout their illustrious career; and even a dream closet, complete with a hydraulic system for ease-of-access, designed by Ruffino Custom Closets in New Orleans.

A gifted singer and piano player, Stone delighted in ushering guests into the music room after a dinner party. In addition to a grand piano, this room also held an 18th - century mirror salvaged from a palazzo on Venice’s Grand Canal; a custom bookcase that was once a picture frame for an oil painting of the Pope and housed in a religious building; and a pair of Dieppe ivory mirrors, to name just a few of the impressive collection acquired by Stone and Diamond over the years.

Over the past 25 years, the couple traveled to Europe six to eight times per year, commemorating each visit by bringing home a Grand Tour souvenir, each notably representing a different European landmark. Their special collection of Grand Tour souvenirs, primarily bronze and marble, also serves as a retrospective of their travel memories.

While the Banker’s House may well have served as a museum, Stone and Diamond are proud of the welcoming and well-lived-in space they lovingly created together. Every space was thoughtfully curated to showcase their love for historic homes and antiques, and their conviction that these houses should be celebrated and lived in.

A New Chapter

Thanks to Stone and Diamond’s shared passion for historic architecture and preservation and their sophisticated eye for design, The Banker’s House will certainly have many more fabulous centuries ahead of her.

Looking to simplify as they move into the next chapter of their lives to enjoy retirement, the collectors felt it was important to offer their collection in New Orleans, honoring their long legacy as New Orleans dealers.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to collaborate with Stone and Diamond in presenting part one of this extensive collection, featuring some of their most cherished and rare pieces from their personal collection, as well as selections from Kevin Stone Antiques – all from their historic Natchez home.

THE DARROW, LOUISIANA

Written by / Valeria L. Palmertree

A Celebration of Creole Construction along the Great River Road

Located along the meandering Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Darrow provides a portal into Louisiana’s storied past. Known as the Great River Road, one of North America’s oldest, longest and most unique scenic byways, this region is recognized by its distinct architectural style.

While it’s the area’s collection of grand Greek Revival plantation houses that is most often touted, this historic rural region was first settled by French Creoles whose surviving domestic architecture rivals the importance of the later Greek Revival homes. These structures’ most distinguishing features were French wraparound mantels, which in the earliest and finest of the Creole homes was accompanied by a decorated overmantel.

Today, only a limited number of pre - Civil War Creole houses survive, and Creole houses with both wraparound mantels and decorative overmantels are even rarer, with the Division of Historic Preservation having identified only six houses in the Great River Road region in which these features survive. Their permanence is a testament to the diligence, vision and commitment of those who lend their hands, quite literally, to preserving these houses’ irreplaceable stories.

A Divine Dwelling

Father Jerry Young, a pastor from Baton Rouge with an interest in architecture, had the opportunity to get acquainted with the River Road’s rich history and characteristic homes while serving as pastor at St. Anthony of Padua. During this time, he visited several plantation homes and cottages, sparking his love of historic preservation and restoration.

Recognizing the priest’s devout interest in historic homes, a parishioner sold Fr. Young the Wilton Dependency (ca. 1830), a small dwelling that sat untouched and with no roof on an acre while Fr. Young lived in the rectory and came up with a plan for its restoration. But it wasn’t long before another building came along, completing Fr. Young’s vision for his own historic haven in Darrow.

collections

Once located on the Mississippi River in St. James Parish, The Helvetia Dependency (ca. 1820) began as a two-story sugar house at Helvetia Plantation, featuring the Creole style’s characteristic wraparound mantels and overmantels and Federal woodwork, examples of which are especially rare within the houses of the River Road.

After enduring the river’s many floods, the house’s sevenfoot basement was inundated by mud and the house itself tangled up in weeds before it was purchased by Fr. Young in 1973 and moved to join the Wilton Dependency in Ascension Parish.

For four years, Fr. Young worked tirelessly to bring both houses back to life, with the priest doing much of the work himself and relying on assistance from friends, family members, parishioners and the area’s many carpenters willing to help in exchange for sandwiches and drinks. “The priesthood is head work and heart work. Working with my hands keeps me sane,” Fr. Young told Baton Rouge’s inRegister magazine in 2009.

Ultimately, the renovated buildings were adjoined and made into Fr. Young’s beloved country home.

Despite the move and several alterations and additions, the Helvetia Dependency impressively retains its distinguishing Creole and Federal character, with its characteristic features intact. Today, the house holds a revered place on the National Register of Historic Places, one of only three Darrow properties with that distinction.

A Devotion to Antiques

In addition to playing a key role in the restoration of the historic properties, Fr. Young faithfully served as his own decorator. Having spent much of his childhood in New Orleans with family members with an appreciation for French-style furniture, he, too, acquired a taste and eye for antiques.

Thanks to family, friends and his own antiquehunting adventures around the world, Fr. Young built a collection of furnishings with which he thoughtfully outfitted his Darrow home.

These included works by old Louisiana painters to whom he was introduced by Baton Rouge art and antique dealer Merritt Shilg and a dining table from the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans. The home also featured a variety of religious items gifted to Fr. Young throughout the years.

A Beloved Spirit

Born in New Orleans, Fr. Young remained connected to the Crescent City’s rich culture, architecture and cuisine long after moving to Baton Rouge as a child, thanks to regular family visits. It would be family strolls along Magazine Street, where his grandparents acquired a cherished collection of antique furniture, which would inspire his lifelong affinity for antiques.

Much like he was drawn to New Orleans’s vibrancy, so were others magnetized by Fr. Young’s warmth and charisma, which made family members, friends and parishioners always feel welcomed and supported. Part of a large and close family, he enjoyed spending time surrounded by loved ones, including his three nieces and nephews.

A very sickly child, Fr. Young’s mother prayed often for his health, once pleading with God that if He let him live, he would go on to honor Him for the rest of his life. Whether it was his mother’s word or God’s divine intervention, no one knows, but Fr. Young had committed himself to the priesthood long before his mother had shared this story. When he was ordained in 1963, he joined several other family members who’d also been called to serve as priests and nuns. It was his great uncle, Fr. Henry Shutten, who inspired him the most.

Fr. Young spent many years as pastor of St. James Catholic Church and Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, among other parishes, before joining St. Joseph Cathedral, where he retired in 2009 after 12 years. Over his five decades as a reverend, Fr. Young was beloved by all who encountered him for his friendly demeanor and enlightened spirit.

During his time off, Fr. Young enjoyed traveling whenever possible, particularly to Rome and Vatican City – destinations he visited frequently after his retirement. Time at home was spent going to the theater and enjoying dinner with friends.

All along, Fr. Young amassed an impressive collection of Creole furniture and Southern regional art, complementing the storied walls of his cherished Darrow home, where he enjoyed spending as much time as possible, sharing its history with all of those who would listen.

Fr. Young celebrated his 89th birthday this year and lives under the care of loved ones in Baton Rouge. Despite being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s several years ago, Fr. Young’s spirit has remained untouched, according to those closest to him, who have been fortunate to still catch a smile and see the twinkle in his eye.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to present more than 100 lots of furniture and art from The Collection of Reverend Gerard F Young.

LEGACY Sustaining the of Southern Regional Art explorations

Collectors like Fr. Young have played a crucial role in fostering the continued legacy of Southern Regional Art. Their intrinsic appreciation and enthusiasm has fueled the increasing popularity of this genre and demonstrated that a thoughtful and well selected art collection can retain its monetary and artistic value over time.

Museums, colleges, galleries and auction houses have also increasingly represented Southern artists, as evidenced by the founding of the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art here in New Orleans.

The permanence of Southern Regional Art wasn’t always certain, however. It, too, relied on enthusiastic collectors and artists themselves to impart the genre’s history onto the next generation.

"Homestead by the Mississippi River"

The first narrative documenting Louisiana art history was written at the turn of the century by artist George David Coulon. His meticulous journals and newspaper clippings about local and regional artists have since been pivotal to the study of early Louisiana art and are today known as “Scrapbook 100” within the collection of the Louisiana Historic Center at the Louisiana State Museum.

Perhaps an unexpected historian of art history, Dr. Isaac Monroe Cline, a U.S. meteorologist and avid collector, would later expand upon Coulon’s recollections with the publication of Art and Artists in New Orleans During the Last Century in 1922.

Frequent and prolonged visits to New Orleans by the best American portrait painters of their time, especially during the period prior to 1850, would indicate that the people of this city were not only devotees of the fine arts, but they made this one of the art centers of America.

– Dr. Isaac Monroe Cline

Having been well acquainted with the artists and art organizations that flourished in New Orleans during this time, Cline served as honorary curator of the Louisiana State Museum and opened “Art House,” an antique and art gallery on St. Peter Street in the

French Quarter. He also mentored William E. Groves, who would go on to become a prolific collector himself and author 19th Century Louisiana Painters and Paintings from the Collection of W.E. Groves, a book which is still referenced today.

Around this time, Ellsworth Woodward, the Dean of Newcomb College, helped establish the Delgado Museum of Art (now the New Orleans Museum of Art). As the museum’s acting director, Woodward advocated for exhibiting Southern artists alongside prominent American and European artists.

In the early 1980s, Dr. Jessie Poesch’s landmark book, The Art of the Old South: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture & the Products of Craftsmen, 1560-1860 elevated the awareness and scholarship of Southern Regional Art to the national level. In her over 30 - year career as an esteemed professor at Newcomb College, Poesch placed notable widespread attention on the Southern arts.

Later that decade, the Historic New Orleans Collection published Encyclopedia of New Orleans Artists: 17181918 , which has become an indispensable resource for curators, art historians and collectors around the globe.

The legacy of Southern Regional Art is a testament to collectors’ continued fervor and to the diligent work of the cultural organizations that help preserve its origins and significance. New Orleans Auction Galleries is delighted by the opportunity to offer exceptional Southern art works from the Collection of Reverend Gerard F. Young.

The early Louisiana furniture in Fr. Young’s collection is a generational offering, with a breadth of pieces that is almost never available to the public on the open market. Additionally, his copious notes about the collection provide rare insight into many of the pieces’ specific regional origins.

Highlights include a table and a pair of buffets bas from the Ursuline Convent, and a delicate and graceful cabriole leg walnut table. Another standout is a rare, upholstered Louisiana stool,

illustrated in Furnishing Louisiana: Creole and Acadian Furniture 1735-1835 and deemed by the authors to be “one of the rarest surviving forms of Louisiana furniture…” Notably, the other upholstered stool illustrated in the book is in the collection of the Winterthur Museum in Delaware.

Perhaps one of the most historically insightful aspects of this collection lies in the four Louisiana armoires, each of which exemplifies how an influx of immigrants during the early

Written by / Tom Halverson

19th century altered the region’s landscape, culture and craftsmanship.

The earliest of these pieces, a walnut Colonialstyle armoire, could easily pass in a collection of French Provincial furniture with construction and design characteristics consistent with its Continentals antecedents. The influence of Haitian immigrants in the 1800s, most of them free people of color, is reflected in the Creolestyle armoire, which incorporates more delicate proportions and features now associated with early Louisiana armoires, such as the medial belt of three drawers and paneled backs. A later piece showcases Federal-style inlay on the Creole form, further exemplifying the shifts in styles as Louisiana incorporated into the United States and welcomed visitors from elsewhere in the country. Lastly, a later (ca. 1835-40) vernacular armoire, heavier in form with butt hinges and square legs, at first glance would seem to have been made anywhere in the Western World. The longer use of flush panel doors – a Creole characteristic brought here from the Caribbean – puts a distinctive Louisiana stamp, further reinforced by the use of cypress for the back.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer furniture from the Collection of Reverend Gerard F. Young.

The Legendary

An Iconic New Orleans Landmark

Rich in history, elegance and grandeur, The Roosevelt New Orleans, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, has long been synonymous with The Crescent City: celebrated, historic and alluring.

The property first opened in 1893 as the Grunewald Hotel, built by Bavarianborn businessman Louis Grunewald. It went on to be renamed the Roosevelt Hotel in 1923, ushering in a new era of luxury and distinction in hospitality. In 2005, following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the historic hotel, known at this time as The Fairmont, was purchased and restored by First Class Hotels. In 2009, the hotel reopened as The Roosevelt New Orleans and became part of the Waldorf Astoria family under Hilton’s luxury brand portfolio.

Throughout its 131-year history, the iconic hotel has welcomed presidents, royalty and celebrities from around the world. Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Sonny and Cher, Frank Sinatra, Tina Turner, Marlene Dietrich and Elvis all once performed in the hotel’s famous Blue Room ballroom, cementing it among America’s most treasured hotels.

With its gilded pillars, sparkling marble floors and imposing crystal chandeliers, The Roosevelt is a celebration of New Orleans luxury and a toast to its heritage.

Welcome to The Roosevelt's Sazerac Bar

Tucked within The Roosevelt and named after what many consider to be the world’s first cocktail, the Sazerac Bar has been a lore-filled destination that transports guests to the grandeur of New Orleans during “a time when Huey P. Long would stroll in, order a Ramos Gin Fizz and spend the next couple of hours talking to his constituents.”

Built in 1838 and opened in 1852 in the French Quarter, the Sazerac Bar was moved to The Roosevelt in 1949, where it was given its formal name. It was also that year that the men-only bar broke with tradition when it was stormed by the women of New Orleans demanding equality – and a stiff drink. Every September, the Sazerac Bar commemorates that historic day with the “Stormin’ of the Sazerac,” a celebration of the Crescent City’s courageous, barrier-breaking women.

Anchored by a long African walnut bar that is flanked by two striking Paul Ninas murals and surrounded by Art Deco design, the Sazerac Bar reflects the spirit of its past, with original artifacts, elegant barstools and plush banquettes that invite locals and visitors alike to sit down, take a sip and immerse themselves for a while.

A Crescent City Cocktail

The Sazerac has roots dating back to the 1830s. Coffee houses ruled as the preferred drinking establishments at the time, importing fine cognac from estates such as Sazerac de Forge et Fils. The apothecary Antoine Peychaud, creator of Peychaud’s bitters, would sell his proprietary blend of herbs to local coffee houses for use in their cocktails. Mixtures of brandy, bitters and absinthe were prescribed to treat various ailments. The disruption of cognac imports and the gradual Americanization of New Orleans led to rye whiskey becoming the main ingredient of the Sazerac cocktail.

A Crown Jewel in America's "Grand Tour"

As one of New Orleans’s most luxurious destinations for over a century, The Roosevelt would inevitably be a classic stop on a grand tour of America were one to exist.

As our Creative team envisioned the October catalogue, the hotel’s storied walls and gathering spaces provided the grand stage for showcasing the very best of collecting. In this spirit, we have paired select lots from this sale against the striking backdrop of The Roosevelt’s iconic Sazerac Bar.

A special thank you to The Roosevelt New Orleans, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, for their collaboration in bringing to life the images within this catalogue.

Restauration Pressed Wood Snuffbox of Napoleonic Allegiance

1822-1830, Paris, by Jean Charles Seurat (1785-1848), the lid impressed with an allegorical scene, "Mille succes contre un revers" after an 1819 engraving by Louis-Francois Charon, the base impressed with the medal of the Legion d'Honneur and opening to reveal a hidden glazed gilt-copper cliche of Napleon in full figure, the interior lined in tortoiseshell. h. 7/8", dia. 3-3/8"

$800-$1,200

Provenance: Kevin Stone Antiques, The Collection of Kevin Stone & Mark Diamond.

Jean Charles Seurat was born in Paris on November 27, 1785, the son of Charles-Antoine Seurat and Marie-MadeleineJoseph Denis. He volunteered to join Napoleon's army on November 2, 1805 and served as a fusilier in the 70th DemiBrigade, 3rd Battalion, 5th Company. He saw action primarily in Portugal, including the Battle of Rolica, the Siege of Zaragoza, the Battle of Braca and the Second Battle of Porto, during the last of which he was taken as a prisoner of war by the British on May 12, 1809.

After his release, he returned to Paris where he married, on August 20, 1816, Marie Badeleine Bobro. He first appears in the Paris directory of 1822 at rue Maire 21 as a tabletiere - a maker of treenware, or small wooden articles - advertising "a l'origine de la tabatiere a lorgnette, fabricant de tabatieres de tout genre et de fantaisie en racines de buis et bois etrangers [originator of the spyglass snuffbox, manufacturer of snuffboxes of all types and styles in root and exotic woods]".

Root and burl woods were employed in manufacturing the then-popular pressed wood snuffboxes such as the present lot. The mottled and irregular grain of these woods allowed a disc cut of them to be steamed and then pressed into a steel die (not unlike that for medals) the shape of which, after drying, it would retain. Seurat's name appears on several of these pressed wood snuffboxes, suggesting that he was the cutter of the die as well.

The obverse here is signed ìSeuratî and is taken from "Mille succes contre un revers" ("A Thousand Sucesses Against One Setback"), one of a pair of allegorical prints designed by LouisFrancois Aubry (1767-1851), engraved by Louis-Francois Charon (1783-1831?) and published in Paris in 1819. It and its mate ("La valeur est immortelle en France") represent the proud and

defiant Gallic spirit after the defeat at Waterloo. It depicts a wounded grenadier carving into a rock with the point of his bayonet: “Vingt cinq ans de Conquetes. La France seule contre l’Europe entiere [Twenty-five years of Conquests. France alone against all of Europe]”, with Wellington writing in the ground with his sword "Waterloo 1815. Invasion de la France par cinq puissances alliees. [Waterloo 1815. Invasion of France by five allied powers]”. The message is clear: France's might, carved in stone, is permanent; Wellington's skewed victory, scratched in earth, is transitory.

The reverse can be clearly dated to the Restauration, depicting the Legion d'Honneur medal as it was under the restored Bourbon Monarchy, 1814-1830. The iconography strongly suggests that the snuffbox was owned by a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars.

The hidden cliche of Napoleon hints at the allegiances of the owner. (Though not necessarily of Seurat; a similar snuffbox by Seurat with a hidden portrait of Louis XVIII is also known). A cliche is essentially a proof strike of a die made in thin metal, usually copper, and sometimes filled with lead or plaster. The full-figure relief of Napoleon here is almost certainly from a die cut by Seurat as well, as it also found pressed into the burl faces of some contemporaneous snuffboxes.

Seurat moved his shop to rue des Fontaines-du-Temple 4, by which time he had four children. His wife died in August 1833, and he married his second wife, Jeanne Angelique Fuchs, on December 21 of the same year. He is last listed in the Paris Directory of 1838, after which moved to the suburb of Poissy. He is listed there in the 1846 census as a clerk at the Maison Centrale, and died on October 31, 1848.

Rare Signed Folk Art Carving

early 20th century, Ulm, Arkansas, signed on the bottom “Richard Scheiderer, Ulm, Arkansas”, the artist depicted at one corner, dressed in a hat and boots, standing on a stump, the center with an elderly African-American man on a mule-drawn backboard, all carved in meticulous detail. h. 13-3/4”, w. 20”, d. 10-1/2”

$7,000-$10,000

Provenance: The Collection of Kevin Stone & Mark Diamond.

Richard Johann Christoph Scheiderer was born in Paris Township, Union county Ohio on May 7, 1883, the son of farmer Casper Georg Scheiderer (1844-1917) and Margaretha Schmidt (1847-1891). Casper, the son of an immigrant from Mossbach, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, moved his family to McFall, Arkansas some time before 1900, and Richard is listed with him in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. Richard evidently returned to Ohio during World War I, living with his sister, Anna B. Hinderer (1872-1934), but he returned to Arkansas, settling with another sister, Emelie Mary Leder (1887-1966) in Ulm, Prairie county.

He is listed consistently in every official document as a farm laborer, but family tradition holds that he was both a skilled wood carver and hair stylist. His carving skills were employed to make duck decoys, a popular item for hunters in the rice-growing region of the Arkansas Delta. The present lot – which passed through the family from Emilie Leder to her daughter, then granddaughter, and finally great-grandson Kevin S. Stone shows a diorama of rural Arkansas life which would have been very familiar to Scheiderer; indeed, the standing figure is reportedly that of the artist himself.

Richard Scheiderer died on December 13, 1951 at St. Vincent Infirmary, in Little Rock and is buried in Zion Lutheran Cemetery in his adopted home of Ulm, Arkansas. He never married.

"So many Palm Beach houses are decorated like resort hotels. My model for this one was both cozier and more classical: a winter palace. Every room has a fireplace. Every room has opulent draperies. And the mood is festive…

Gilt-embossed leather walls, a Regency-style table, Queen Anne chairs, a Venetian chandelier, a Roman cabinet, Imari dishes, a Louis XIV console, Japanese vases and a coral ceiling of Chinese lacquer..."

Segonzac attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the Academie de la Palette in Montparnasse, and studied under Jean-Paul Laurens (whose painting “La Baigneuse” is being offered as lot 533) before deciding upon an independent course of study. He exhibited in the Salon d'Automne in 1908 and the Salon des Independents in 1909 and was to continue to exhibit with both for years. In the early 1910s he became associated with the Section d'Or, a somewhat loose collective of painters, sculptors, writers, and critics who espoused the tenets of Cubism. Members included such future luminaries as Marcel Duchamp, Fernand Leger, and Robert Delauney. The Salon de la Section d'Or, held in 1912, a popular group exhibition by the members, exposed Cubism to a larger audience. Segonzac's work was so well-received in this exhibition, he was invited to take part in the influential Armory Show in New York in 1913.

The Section d'Or disbanded with the onset of WWI, with many of the members, including Segonzac, entering military service. After the war (for which he was awarded the Croix de Guerre), Segonzac's stylistic approach changed drastically. Moving away from his earlier Cubist and Expressionist work, he began to create landscapes, still lifes, and figural studies in a more naturalistic manner. Preferring watercolor, he would employ an intentionally limited color palette of greens, tans and browns, rendered in loose brushstrokes. The resultant works, as evidenced by the two delightful watercolors offered here, were lively depictions which appealed to collectors and critics alike.

71” x 83”

$40,000-$70,000

Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist.

"I saw a butterfly in a coffee plantation growing up. I never got over the experience."

- Hunt Slonem, 2013

An avid collector and prolific artist, Hunt Slonem is beloved for his distinctive Neo-Expressionist style, characterized by vibrant color, thick brushstrokes, heavy impasto, and crosshatching. Drawing inspiration from Pop Art, Slonem frequently features repetitive patterns of tropical animals such as butterflies, birds, and bunnies; this repetition unlocks unconscious sentiments and beliefs. In the present lot, the recurring image of the butterfly represents Slonem’s vision of hope and transformation, symbolizing rebirth and metamorphosis. The butterflies appear to float across the canvas, their wings blurred softly by Slonem's wet-on-wet technique, which further emphasizes the texture of the painting. Both the subject matter and tactile quality of the work underscore another key aspect of Slonem's work: a reverence for the splendor and fleeting beauty of nature. Red Butterflies III synthesizes the various themes that recur throughout Slonem's oeuvre, making it one of the most significant works of his career.

Slonem frequently moved with his family as a child, spending time in Hawaii and Latin America before settling in New Orleans to attend Tulane University. After earning his degree there, he continued to the prestigious Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture to refine his craft. Shortly thereafter, he made New York City his permanent home, where he has lived in his loft with his personal aviary of pet birds for over fifty years. His lifestyle and career became so intertwined that he quickly gained local celebrity status as his reputation in the art scene grew. Today, his works can be found in the permanent collections of distinguished museums around the world, such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and numerous private collections.

The present lot was acquired directly from the artist twentyfive years ago during a pivotal moment in Slonem’s career. It was part of the largest Hunt Slonem private collection in the world, making its offering at auction today unprecedented. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to present Red Butterflies III

Rueda was a co-founder of the influential Museo de Arte Abstracto Espanol, Cuenca.

That same year he had his first major exhibition, and he would continue to exhibit regularly over the next several decades, most significantly at the Ateneo de Madrid, Musee d’Arts Decoratifs de Paris, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Spanish Pavilion at the 1960 Venice Biennale.

$6,000-$9,000

Provenance: Merritt M. Shilg, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; The Collection of Reverend Gerard F. Young, Darrow, Louisiana.

The sisters Emilie and Marie de Hoa LeBlanc were among the earliest talented women students to attend and graduate from H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College. Their pieces were included in the first exhibition of Newcomb pottery in 1896. Raised in the French Quarter, the sisters would ride the streetcar to the Newcomb College campus on Washington Avenue. After graduation, Marie worked as an Art Craftsman decorating pottery for sale and exhibition. In 1904, she won a bronze medal for pottery at the Louisiana Purchase World Exposition in St. Louis.

Part of the curriculum at Newcomb College was to enroll in painting classes under the tutelage of Ellsworth and William Woodward. In keeping with the principles imposed by the Woodwards, Marie found inspiration from the indigenous Louisiana flora and fauna for both her pottery and paintings. In the engaging painting offered here, Marie focused on a grove of pine trees, likely located on the north shore. The imagery is reminiscent of her pottery designs.

19th century, the paddle-form wooden frame stretched with canvas decorated with a minstrel being chased by a giant fly, inscribed “Shoo Fly” below, the reverse with a scrolled cartouche of a swan.

$7,000-$10,000

Provenance: The Collection of Reverend Gerard F. Young, Darrow, Louisiana.

Punkahs had a dual purpose in the American South; to give diners some respite from the stifling heat and to keep the pesky, disease-ridden flies away from the dinner table. The painting of the minstrel on the punkah offered here refers to the song “Shoo Fly - Don’t Bother Me”, a worker’s tune popularized by Dan Bryant and his group of black-face minstrels and published in 1868.

According to Dr. Dana Byrd, associate professor of art history at Bowdoin College, the origin of the word punkah dated to the 17th century and is a Hindi modification of the Sanskrit word “paka” which means wing. The fabric-covered wooden frames were common in upper class British Colonial Indian homes from the 18th century until India’s emancipation in 1947. 630

Byrd suggests that while the Indian fan was primarily used for cooling and appeared in a variety of rooms in upperclass houses and public spaces, in the American south the purpose was two-fold - relief from both heat and insects. The antebellum American south and Colonial India had more in common than the heat; they both had a workforce to power the punkah. As Byrd writes, “The deployment of these fans required low caste Indian workers to labor for the benefit of their masters...punkah use in the United States was similarly marked by political conditions; in the American case chattel slavery required enslaved laborers to work for the benefit of their masters.”

West advocated total baptism through immersion in the water and considered the daily Port Allen ferry commuters to be members of his congregation. Rucker places West dressed in white, standing along the river, holding a handmade cross of wooden branches and fabric. On a fallen tree beside him, the prophet placed an open Bible to study. In the background a steamboat, a familiar image in Rucker’s paintings, sails by.

Ellsworth Woodward was a leading force fostering the development of Louisiana and Southern art communities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As Director of the Art Department at H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, Tulane University, Woodward created a school with the goal of educating women and providing them with a career in the arts. Along with his brother William Woodward, he advocated for the preservation of the French Quarter, which at the time was in peril due to neglect and haphazard modern renovations. Many of the historic houses were divided into tenement apartments and studios. In the watercolor offered here, Woodward provides a glimpse of life in the French Quarter by focusing on a courtyard with tinsmiths busy at work making repairs, and wash hanging on lines from the second-floor windows.

After retiring as director of the Delgado Museum of Art (now New Orleans Museum of Art), Woodward created prints based on his earlier paintings which included an etching of this watercolor.

Bennette started to photograph scenic views of Old New Orleans for the tourists and locals alike who visited the French Quarter in the 1920s and 1930s. His black and white photographs were often enhanced with hand coloring applied by his wife Elise and his four daughters. With his sudden death in 1939, his wife and daughters were able to successfully continue his photography business.

Elise Moore’s painting offered here is reminiscent of her husband’s popular photographs of the French Quarter.

$60,000-$90,000

Provenance: W.E. Seebold, New Orleans, Louisiana; Merritt M. Shilg, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; The Collection of Reverend Gerard F. Young, Darrow, Louisiana.

After living in Boston, the Norwegian born William Henry Buck moved to New Orleans and worked as a clerk in a cotton brokerage, painting as a hobby. Under the tutelage of artist Richard Clague, Buck experienced the Louisiana landscape firsthand. Influenced by the French Barbizon School, Clague believed in a naturalistic approach and advocated painting plein aire; by painting directly from nature, the artist gains an understanding of the terrain, fluctuations of light at various times of the day, and atmospheric effects.

By 1880, Buck gave up his clerical position and opened his first studio on Carondelet Street. In the painting offered here, Buck selected a small rural farm with various outbuildings and cows grazing in the pasture. Painted in the early evening, Buck was inspired by the moody and dark atmospheric effects that is shared with the colorful rays of the setting sun.

Clarence Millet was born and raised in the small community of Hahnville in St. Charles Parish, located twenty-one miles upriver from New Orleans. Millet was personally familiar with the countryside and way of life in rural Louisiana and would often draw on these memories for his paintings. He often remarked, “I paint things I know, see and feel. I try to impart to the beholder an experience I have seen and felt.” In the painting offered here, Millet revealed a glimpse of life on a family farm with the river in the background.

After studying under William Woodward at Tulane University and attending the Art Students League in New York, Millet settled in New Orleans and became a leading member of the French Quarter Renaissance of the mid-20th century.

Familiar with Stevens’ work and his association with Rookwood Pottery, Woodward felt that he would be a welcome addition to the art faculty. After Ellsworth’s brother William was forced to retire due to impending surgery, Stevens was seen as a suitable replacement. Stevens taught Life and Drawing classes and remained at Newcomb until his retirement in 1948.

Throughout his life, Stevens had a close affinity with nature, drawing inspiration from the writings and philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. In the painting offered here, Stevens painted a view of a forest interior with the sunlight dappling the treetops.

LOUISIANA SOCIETY OF ETCHERS (LOTS 687-703)

In the spring of 1939, Clarence Millet and Charles Reinike joined Morris Henry Hobbs in founding the Louisiana Society of Etchers. New Orleans had three thriving art organizations at the time with the Art Association, Art League, and Arts and Crafts Club, and it was thought an organization dedicated to print making would fill a void. According to the bylaws, the goals of the society were the “distribution of knowledge concerning fine prints, and the education of students into the intricacies of the difficult art of etching.” The LSE initially started with twenty members which was comprised of both residents and visiting artists. An etching press and print making supplies were made available at the LSE’s headquarters in the Art League building on Toulouse Street.

After the illustrious days of Albrecht Durer and Rembrandt, print makers had largely sunken to the level of practitioners of a commercial craft. James Abbott McNeil Whistler and Josesph Pennell were instrumental in restoring printing making to a serious art form. By the early 20th century, Whistler remained highly respected, and Joseph Pennell was among the teachers of fine art printmaking at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. As a result, there was flourishing of printmaking societies in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City and New Orleans.

Hobbs appears to be the driving force and modeled the LSE after the Chicago Society of Etchers where he served as director. The first exhibition was held in December of 1939 and featured prints by well-known and emerging artists including Hobbs, Clarence Millet, Eugene Loving and Willie Reed. All the prints were listed for sale and largely represented images of the historic French Quarter. The next two annual exhibitions were held under the auspices of the Art Association and were displayed at the Delgado Museum of Art (today the New Orleans Museum of Art). Despite their critical success, the third annual exhibition in December of 1941 proved to be the last. The impeding World War II and the subsequent war effort changed the focus of the country, reduced the number of members, and eventually LSE was forced to close its doors.

Despite its brief existence, the Louisiana Society of Etchers made a lasting impression and created an interest in fine art print making in the city. Harmanson's Art and Book Store on Royal Street continued to promote and sell fine art print, in addition to publishing calendars and postcards by local artists. Today, fine art prints by Louisiana artists remain popular, affordable, and highly collected.

The British-born artist George Frederick Castleden was already an accomplished painter when he moved to New Orleans. He immediately took an active role in the French Quarter art community of the 1920s and 1930s. Castleden found the historic ambiance and architecture reminiscent of his childhood in England and an inspiration for his work. He opened a studio at 622 St. Peter Street and maintained a daily gallery in the courtyard of the Cabildo.

The writer Lyle Saxon, in his “What's Doing” column for the Daily Picayune newspaper dated October 25, 1925, reported, “George Castleden is still holding his outdoor exhibitions in the courtyard of the Cabildo, and the admirers of the artist’s work say that he has had a busy summer and that his collection of courtyards on display are painted with his customary finesse.”

In the etching offered here, Hobbs selected various images representative of New Orleans and Louisiana, all placed around St. Louis Cathedral, including Parfum Hove, Lafitte Smithy, Bourbon St., Cabildo, Cafe Brulot, alligator, pelican, and Mardi Gras. Hobbs included the coquetier which references the story that Louis Antoine Amedee Peychaud served brandy laced with his bitters in an eggcup translated in French as a coquetier. According to tradition, the term “cocktail” became the anglicized word.

Already an accomplished artist, Louis Oscar Griffith made a trip to New Orleans with his fellow midwestern artist Robert Grafton in 1916. The two artists were welcomed into the community of artists now known as the French Quarter Renaissance and exhibited with the Art Association of New Orleans and created murals and paintings for the St. Charles Hotel.

In addition, Griffith created a series of aquatint etchings of daily life in the historic city. Several of Griffith’s New Orleans prints, including the one offered here, were exhibited at Highland Park Society of Arts in Dallas. This print depicts two women chatting about the day’s events with laundry hanging to dry between balconies.

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 “ 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;

(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.

(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).

(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) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 12% 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.

(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.
