Provenance

Collection of the Roma W. Leland Trust, Washington Court House, Ohio – Lots 1-118 and 418-424 For nearly 70 years Roma Woodmansee Leland of Washington Court House, Ohio, who died in 2009, and her late husband, John Arthur Leland, were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and persistent collectors of early American furniture and decorative arts including, but not limited to, 18th century Chinese porcelain, pewter, paintings, and Oriental rugs. In the 1960s they acquired many Oriental rugs from the preeminent Oriental rug dealer of the time, Richard Markarian, which will be selling at Skinner in October. During the same period, the Lelands expanded their collection with numerous acquisitions from well-known antique dealers and from the sales of Dick Withington, the respected New England auctioneer. Their spacious, cheerful home of Federal design was built in 1960 to create an appropriate venue for their collection and for them to derive maximum enjoyment from it.

For four decades, John and Roma Leland were popular, familiar figures at the Colonial Williamsburg antique forums. They also regularly attended antique symposia at Old Deerfield, Massachusetts, Landis Valley, Pennsylvania, and Natchez, Mississippi.

Condition: Very good.

Note: This portrait miniature was likely once owned by the greatgreat-nephew of George Washington, Mr. William Lanier Washington (1865-1933). In the first quarter of the 20th century, William offered, at three separate New York City auctions, personal relics and memorabilia of George Washington. It was thought by some people that William was a con man who purchased various early 19th century items and then fraudulently offered them at auction or sold privately, claiming they were genuine relics of President George Washington. In the last auction of these items, held at the American Art Association on February 22, 1922, three portrait miniatures on ivory of Washington by Italian artist Pia Galli, in rectangular silver frames, were offered, (lots 85-87). Lot 87 is thought to be the same one offered here, as it describes that the pose is after one of Gilbert Stuart’s, and housed in a rectangular silver frame. Also accompanying the portrait are clipped segments of the title page of the catalog, and the listing of the three lots of portrait miniatures by Galli that were offered. $1,500-2,500

Note: This tavern sign is likely from the Boylston/West Boylston area of Massachusetts, which was originally part of Shrewsbury. Philip D.

The Bigelow Inn, which was the original home of the sign, has housed the West Boylston Historical Society since 1980. It was originally built around 1780 and run by Abel Bigelow. The “D.W. Taylor Tavern,” built by David Taylor in the late 18th century, was in the neighboring town of Boylston. $8,000-12,000
