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.
“Autumn Majestic” is the perfect finish to our 2021 feature auction schedule and we are excited to share with you what’s in store. On Friday, we offer the Frank Cowan Collection of early English oak furniture, including 16th and 17th Century cupboards, chests, coffers, and chairs as well as a range of important Chinese objects from 1500 BCE through the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912).

nglish Wedding Chair, 16 8
THE FRANK COWAN COLLECTION — Lots 1001 - 1322 We are pleased to offer the extensive and diverse antique collection of noted New York advertising photographer Frank Cowan (1934-2003). Cowan, whose advertising clients included Volkswagon, Kellogg’s, the U.S. Army, and Levi’s, was a passionate antique collector. Meticulous in his pursuits, he chose only the best examples to complement and enhance his collection. Frank’s early years of collecting focused on American colonial furniture. Later, annual visits to the U.K. with his wife broadened his interests to include English oak furniture (the forerunner of Pilgrim century design) and needlework, early Chinese ceramics, and Medieval European and Islamic metalwork, all of which were used to decorate his Patterson, NY home. Presented here are two primary passions. His English furniture collection is featured in lots 1001 - 1095. His Asian collection, which contains pieces representing Chinese culture from pre-1500 BCE through the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), begins with lot 1096.

It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. 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. In the event we have made a significant attribution or disclosure of condition error such that there is a major effect on the value of an item, please contact us immediately (within 30 days after the auction.) We will review under the following circumstances:
For additional details and images see our website, www.thomastonauction.com
A. The item has been paid for and the buyer has possession of the item. B. The buyer, at his/her own expense, must have the item reviewed by an independent party who is approved by TPAG, and is a recognized expert within the field of the item in question. C. The expert provides a written report with specific and detailed reasons as to why the item is not as it was represented to be. The written report must be submitted to TPAG. D. Our descriptions include what we deem to accurately portray an item’s general condition. However, opinions about condition can vary and as such, the auctioneer shall make the final determination in the possible event of a refund. E. The timeline for this process is 30 days from the date of the auction. In the event a committee or review board must convene to review the item, TPAG must be notified in order to extend the time beyond the 30 day limit. Otherwise after 30 days, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. F. Once TPAG has accepted the ruling of the expert(s), the buyer is to return the item to TPAG at buyer’s expense. In order to be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in the same condition it was in when it left TPAG’s possession. G. In the event a refund is issued, it will be for the cost of the item, buyer’s premium and any sales tax paid. The refund will be made in the same form as the payment of the original transaction. 8) No Chargeback Policy - Purchasers agree that disputes of any nature will not be resolved by a credit card chargeback and further agree to refrain from filing any chargeback claim against Thomaston Place Auction Galleries and/or its credit card merchant. By purchasing with us, the purchaser waives the right to initiate a chargeback and furthermore agrees to pay a minimum of $500 plus administrative fees, attorney fees, and/or any other charges associated with responding to said chargeback. 9) Jewelry, Timepieces, Stamps & Coins: All sales are final. There are no returns or refunds for any reason. Jewelry and items with mechanical parts such as clocks, timepieces, mechanical banks, music boxes, etc. are sold “as-is” on the day of sale and may require servicing.
