Our winter auction offers an enchanting inventory of artwork, antiques, and Americana to dazzle the eyes and warm the spirit of worldwide collectors and prospective buyers. As always, we have gathered these items from estates and collections throughout the Northeast.
On Friday, we will offer a large selection of American antiques and folk art, including paintings by outsider artist Bill Traylor, outstanding portraits by 18th and 19th c. itinerant artists, early painted and country furniture, weathervanes, theorems, hooked rugs, treenware, pewter, samplers, mocha ware, stoneware, baskets and Shaker made items.
On Saturday, notable paintings by Pietro Longhi, James Buttersworth, Thomas Moran, Friedrich Nerly II, Robert Gifford, Eugene Boudin, Edward Nichols, and Charles Webster Hawthorne lead the fine art category that also includes an Italian micro-mosaic portrait from the Vatican Studio. For the historically minded, a unique, intricately crafted quilt of British and American patriotic symbols, likely made from Civil War era uniforms will be of interest as will a 1795 appointment signed by President George Washington. Furniture runs the gamut from a Chinese inlaid rosewood display table used at the 1933-34 Chicago World’s Fair - A Century of Progress International Exposition. to a circa 1800 cherry and pine tall clock by Nathan Hale (son of American Revolutionary War patriot Nathan Hale). A diverse marine selection includes ship paintings, ship models and an outstanding collection of early barometers.
