Auctioneer’s Note We are thrilled to be able to offer LIVE IN-PERSON BIDDING at our summer auctions! While the new CDC guidelines and the recent lifting of the mask mandate in Maine are encouraging, we’ve decided that even as the rules change at the state level, we’re not ready to change at Thomaston Place. So for now, masks will still be required for all auction guests and staff regardless of vaccination status. We will continue to provide multiple remote viewing and bidding options to ensure an entertaining auction experience. In “Splendor, Part II” our passion for extraordinary fine art, antiques and decorative treasures continues with a sale inventory of unprecedented rarity and diversity selected from collections and fine estates across the country. On Friday, Just For Starters, we offer a delightful and interesting array of items geared for home accessorizers and beginning collectors.

Her family was very close with the Wyeth family, and Andy was one of Nina’s “best pals.” Andy became engaged to Betsy the same year that Nina became engaged to Lev Davis. At that time, Andy gave this drawing to Nina as an engagement present. “The drawing turns out to be a study for a tempera painting done by Andy in 1940. The painting is much the same as this pen-andink study, except that the lone man sailing in the dory does not appear in the final painting.” Andrew Newell Wyeth was an American visual artist, primarily a realist painter, working predominantly in a regionalist style. He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century.

We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner however, we cannot guarantee that a request submitted will be answered prior to the auction date.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to examine each item and make their own assessment prior to the auction. 5) All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, TPAG is not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of antiques and items.

6) Goods made from or containing materials from protected species - TPAG does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omissions in marketing or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such materials include, but are not limited to ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder.

All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions and licensing on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale or the delay of payment of purchased items in accordance with these bidder Terms and Conditions of Sale. (If you are not able to make what you consider to be a comfortable decision about an item or if you believe an item may be incorrectly described in our catalog, we suggest that you refrain from bidding on said item.) RETURNS 7) Items may be considered for return under very specific conditions and within 30 days after the auction. It is important that you pay for and acquire your item in a timely fashion.
