The Schenley Mansion was built in the Stanton Heights region of Pittsburgh in 1830, by a prominent lawyer named William Croghan Jr. The 22 room, Greek Revival “Picnic House” was intended as a home for his only daughter Mary Elizabeth Croghan. Mary Elizabeth, at boarding school in New York, eloped in 1842 at age 16, marrying the British Captain Edward Wyndham Harrington Schenley. She scandalized not just Pittsburgh society, but British society as well, and never returned to live full time in the mansion on the hill. The home found use in the Civil War as Fort Schenley, and was ultimately torn down by a later owner in 1955. Prior to demolition, the ballroom and foyer were moved to the University of Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning. They are rumored to be haunted, and are a favorite attraction at that skyscraper in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

Provenance: Private Collection

Estimate: $1,000 - $2,000

Accompanied by biography of Daniel Reichard (Reichart) in H.E. Comstock, The Pottery of the Shenandoah Valley Region, The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, Chapel Hill and London, 1994, p.455 and an article on the jar by Justin W. Thomas, Antiques and The Arts Weekly, “Religious Red Earthenware Tobacco Jars Manufactured in the Mid-Atlantic Region & Waterloo, Ontario, Canada”, April 19, 2024, p. 42-43. While Daniel Reichard is listed in Comstock as a potter born in Pennsylvania and active primarily in Hagerstown, Maryland between 1805 and 1815, no works definitively attributed to him have been identified to date. As Comstock notes, he is not associated with any known maker’s mark. This piece may represent the first known attribution to Daniel Reichard. For a similar example depicting St. Ambrose, see: Royal Ontario Museum, Crock, likely Jacob Bock, object no. 960.136. https://collections.rom.on.ca/objects/147063/crock?ctx=ea2a6061-c2b2-41e2-9083-de4dbaabb243&idx=15

Provenance: Private Collection

Estimate: $2,000 - $4,000

According to historian and author, Justin W. Thomas, “In addition to being a farmer, Nathaniel Sellers was possibly a potter in Upper Hanover, perhaps in the 1840s and 1850s, although this aspect of his profession is not well-known today. This pitcher might be the only identifiable object associated with Sellers’ production, seeing that it is not known how he would have learned the potter’s trade otherwise.”

Thomas, “A Red Earthenware Pitcher Marked “Nathaniel Sellers Upper Hanover, Pa’”, Antiques & the Arts Weekly, September 17, 2024. https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/a-red-earthenware-pitcher-marked-nathaniel-sellers-upper-hanoverpa/

Estimate: $5,000 - $7,000

Notes: Amstel House in Newcastle, Delaware, served as the home of Delaware’s first governor, Nicholas Van Dyke, and was the site of his daughter Anna’s wedding to Kensey Johns III. The family remained in the Newcastle area after moving from the Amstel House in 1789. Thomas Stockton (1781-1846), governor of Delaware, was the grand-nephew of Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. His marriage to Fidelia Rogerson Johns, daughter of Anna and Kensey Johns III, in 1804 in Newcastle, united the Stockton family with two other prominent families, Johns and Van Dyke. The Johns family had moved to Delaware from Anne Arundel County, Maryland. When Amstel House became the property of the Newcastle Historical Society in 1929, Elizabeth Moore, granddaughter of Thomas and Fidelia Stockton, donated numerous objects to the Society. Given the sumptuous design and probable date of this sofa, it was perhaps made on the occasion of the marriage of Governor Van Dyke’s daughter in 1784, she married Kensey Johns, Sr., of a prominent Newcastle family. President Washington attended the wedding. At the time that many of the Stockton-Johns family heirlooms were acquired by the Amstel House at historic Newcastle, an exact copy of this sofa was made for the parlor of the former governor’s mansion.

According to consignor notes, Ann Horry Deas Lesesne (1812-1850), was a member of a prominent plantation owning and political family in South Carolina. Her father, a Scottish immigrant, served several terms in the South Carolina General Assembly before going on to serve as a senator for nearly ten years. He married Margaret Horry, and of their thirteen children, only nine would survive to adulthood. Ann, the youngest surviving daughter, likely wrought this sampler as a young girl, dating this piece to the early 1820s.

In addition to other decorative elements typical of samplers from her time, Ann’s sampler includes a house in the iconic architectural style that can still be seen lining the streets of Charleston today -- a “single house” oriented with the gable, or shorter wall of the house, facing the street, with an adjacent piazza.

The sampler also includes several lines of religious verse with some words appearing to be missing, suggesting this piece was unfinished. The first several lines may have been composed by Ann herself, and read “Heaven [is?] our guard and innocents its care/[Nor need?] the just the worst of dangers [?]/It pitties [sic] the defenceless [sic] poor mans grief/And sends him [?] he calls helpe [sic] and [?]/Its [sic] [?] the surest succour [sic] and the best/Delivers and [?] the distressed”

The second verse appears to be a known motto and reads “When [love] and peace together dwell/ They make a pallis [sic] of a cell/But where discord rears her head/Every [hope] of comforts [fled]”

Ann married Thomas Allen Lesesne in 1837 when she was 25 and subsequently moved to Mobile, Alabama to a cotton plantation owned by Lesesne. They had five children together before her early passing at the age of 38. Ann is buried in Mobile, Alabama.

Note: William Aiken Walker: Southern Genre Painter by August Trovaioli and RoulhacToledano was published in 1972 by LSU Press. In conjunction with the publication of this book and in response to increased interest in the artist, the Louisiana State Museum organized the exhibition “The World of William Aiken Walker.” The impressive work offered here was illustrated in both the original and second printings of the monograph and served as a highlight of the Louisiana State Museum exhibition. The expansive scene encompasses nine figures working in a cotton field. The same figure with a striped hat lower right can be found in the Currier and Ives lithograph of Walker’s famous “Southern Cotton Plantation,” while the bonneted woman is painted after a known photograph taken by the artist. Walker’s artistic aptitude in capturing the individuality of each of the figures as well as the unique natural landscape is poignantly displayed. While Walker’s oeuvre is extensive, works at this scale and with this level of detail are very rare.

Exhibited: “The World of William Aiken Walker,” Louisiana State Museum, Presbytere, New Orleans, LA, Dec. 1972-Jan. 1973. (See labels on verso of painting.)

Estimate: $500 - $700

According to consignor notes: “William Anderson Hughes, a merchant in Abingdon, Virginia in the 1850’s once went to Baltimore to buy merchandise. Mary Jane, his wife, asked him to bring her a new quilt pattern. When he was almost home, he suddenly remembered Mary Jane’s quilt pattern. He didn’t know what to do because he couldn’t disappoint her. He was passing under a big oak tree. He chose a beautiful leaf and took it to her for her pattern. She was delighted with it and made a quilt with green oak leaves on white.

William Hughes was a lieutenant in the 22nd VA. Cavalry and died in a prison camp in Ohio in Feb. 1865. In 1867 Mary Jane moved to Texas Co., MO. with her parents and her brother. She took the quilt with her and it has remained a prize family possession, handed down from daughter to daughter.”

This quilt was registered with the Virginia Quilt Project on December 4, 1998, Registration #: B-174.

The lot will be accompanied by a collection of documentation related to the family and quilt.

Laughlin Estate, Aiken, South Carolina

Estimate: $500 - $700

This artwork is based on the original painting titled “Tehuantepec River”, from his book Mexico South: The Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a comprehensive work exploring the region’s geography, culture, and history. Miguel Covarrubias was a Mexican painter, caricaturist, illustrator, ethnologist, muralist, and art historian. At just nineteen years old, Covarrubias received a grant from the Mexican government to continue his artistic work in New York, as he was already well known across Mexico and Central and South America. It was here where he was quickly commissioned by Vanity Fair and spent years having his caricatures on covers and periodicals. After returning to Mexico in the early 1940s with his wife Rosa Rolanda, he became a leading anthropologist, ethnologist and educator in Mexico City. This incredibly well rounded artist and intellect was held at equal importance alongside other notable individuals like Rufino Tamayo and Matthew W. Stirling, with whom he codiscovered the Olmec civilization.

Roberto Montenegro was a prominent Mexican painter, muralist, and printmaker. He began his artistic training in 1903 under the Italian painter Félix Bernardelli in Guadalajara. In 1905, he enrolled at the Escuela Nacional de Arte in Mexico City, studying alongside Diego Rivera, and was later awarded a grant to continue his studies in Europe. After two years in Madrid, he moved to Paris in 1907, where he encountered Cubism and met key figures such as Picasso, Braque, and Gris. After later returning to Mexico, Montenegro became a founder of the Mexican Mural Renaissance, and was one of the few artists to be commissioned for the first governmentsponsored murals in Mexico City. With his murals adorning the walls of the Palacio de Bellas Artes, next to works by Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and directing for a time at this institution in Mexico City, Montenegro remains one of the leading Mexican artists of his time.

Provenance: Purchased from the artist

Estimate: $20,000 - $40,000

Born in rural Georgia, raised in a community tied to the cotton fields, Winfred Rembert survived a childhood of poverty in the segregated South of the 1940s. He would go on to be a nationally recognized artist, and his biography - “Chasing Me to My Grave: An Artist’s Memoir of the Jim Crow South” - was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2022.

It was not a well paved path. In 1966, after a demonstration in Americus, Georgia, Rembert was arrested and put in jail without being charged. A year later, he escaped but was caught and hung up by a group of deputy sheriffs. They stuck him with a knife but did not kill and burn him as he had anticipated. He spent the next seven years in a chain gang. Remarkably, he met his future wife while building roads and bridges in rural Georgia as part of his prison sentence. While in prison, a man named TJ taught him how to carve wallets out of leather, a skill that he would use decades later in his embossed leather paintings.

After his release, Rembert and Patsy married and they moved to New York, then Connecticut, where he worked a variety of jobs. Not until in his 50s after a second round in prison, did he begin to draw and paint the scenes of his youth, carving the stories into tactile leather canvases.

In 2000, Rembert had a well publicized show at the Yale University Art Gallery. In 2002, he was introduced to Peter Tillou after speaking about his artwork at a school in Waterbury, Connecticut. A short time later they agreed to a working relationship that included numerous exhibitions and his 2010 “coming out” show at Adelson Galleries in New York. Their relationship continued until Rembert’s death in 2021.

Born in rural Georgia, raised in a community tied to the cotton fields, Winfred Rembert survived a childhood of poverty in the segregated South of the 1940s. He would go on to be a nationally recognized artist, and his biography - “Chasing Me to My Grave: An Artist’s Memoir of the Jim Crow South” - was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2022.

It was not a well paved path. In 1966, after a demonstration in Americus, Georgia, Rembert was arrested and put in jail without being charged. A year later, he escaped but was caught and hung up by a group of deputy sheriffs. They stuck him with a knife but did not kill and burn him as he had anticipated. He spent the next seven years in a chain gang. Remarkably, he met his wife while building roads and bridges in rural Georgia as part of his prison sentence.

Mario Sanchez was a Cuban-American folk artist from the Key West cigar-making neighborhood known as “Gato’s Village”. Self-taught, Sanchez began working artistically in 1930 on media like paper bags and cedar wood boards. His sketches and intaglio works project a unique vision that is playful, nostalgic and rooted to the experience of community, especially in Key West and Tampa, Florida.

Sanchez received one-man exhibitions in major museums including New York’s American Folk Art Museum, The Museum of the City of New York, Bacardi Museum, and Cuba’s National Museum of Fine Art. He has work in the collections of the Smithsonian, The Whitney, and The American Folk Art Museums as well as many private collections in Florida and across the country.

The Pee-Roo-Lee-Man is a common character found in Mario’s landscapes. “Pee-RooLee” stands for the Spanish term pirulí, similar to ‘lollipop’ in English. Pirulí is a Cuban homemade candy commonly sold by vendors on the street. The Pee-Roo-Lee-Man, or Piruliero is has widely become a nostalgic symbol for simple pleasures.
