Vander Sande Collection | Session II | November 13, 2025
The Collection of John and Marie-Teresa Vander Sande was cultivated over a lifetime of shared interest and enthusiasm. It began when John was a Fulbright Scholar, completing his postdoctoral studies at Oxford. There, on weekends, he would go out to some of the famous local cathedrals to take rubbings of the monumental brasses usually set into the floor of such places. This practice helped seed within him a passion for antiques and old things, something he would take back to the states, a souvenir of his time abroad. Once stateside Marie-Teresa’s sister gave the couple a book by Wallace Nutting, in which John spotted a picture of a Connecticut side chair the couple owned. This shaped John’s appreciation for the antique into a passion for early New England furniture, a passion that his wife would soon embrace as well. Together, they cultivated “collections of collections” of antiquities– from glass to ceramics to furniture– from 17th and 18th century New England, their reputations in the antique world growing all the while.
For a collection as singular as that of John and Marie-Teresa Vander Sande, a single auction would not suffice. Now we find ourselves at the second, one every bit as grand and rich in beautiful examples of 17th and 18th century furniture, ceramics, glass, and more as the one previous. The love the Vander Sandes had, and still have, for this era of history is readily evident from looking at this collection. The human element, that factor most important to them in any given piece, is well-represented in each object in the sale. That being said, everything previously mentioned about the Vander Sande’s collection still rings true here and now, and as such the reader will not be belabored with repetition. Instead, the focus will be on the new, and there is a considerable amount of it worthy of mention. The highlights of this sale include a Boston Cromwellian high back chair of extreme rarity, a rare Massachusetts carved joined chest, three Benjamin Blythe-attributed portraits, four carved Nottingham double-walled mugs, and a Charles II needlework writing box. But these are only a few of the many wonderful works to be included in this auction. We invite you to peruse the full sale at your leisure, and join us in another journey down the High Road.

It is generally assumed that similar specimens in brass are some few years later in date... The discovery of this pewter pair of similar date circa 1720 happily fills another gap in our records.”

Also accompanying the lot is a copy of Florence’s account and description of the Wayside Inn, which according to the annotations was “to be read at an exhibition” in 1870.
