Here we are, in the midst of another wonderful summer on Cape Cod. How lucky we are to live and work surrounded by natural beauty, remarkable history and a vibrant arts community. This sale in particular features a wide array of works with ties to the still-thriving Provincetown Art Colony, including the cover lot, a rare print by Blanche Lazzell.

As always, we will celebrate summer by hosting our annual gala preview, this year on Monday, July 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. We hope you will join us that evening to see items from this sale, as well as select lots from the Contemporary Paintings Auction and the Asian Art Week auctions. Please RSVP by calling 508-385-3116.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Ruba Rombic was conceptualized by Reuben Haley, a former executive with United States Glass Company. He was inspired by Cubist art he saw at the 1925 Paris Exposition. The name is purportedly derived from ruba'i, a type of Persian poetry, and the geometric term rhombic, which means an irregular form with no right angles. The uniquely designed mold-blown glassware was first produced in 1928 by the Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company, with production continuing through at least 1933. The product line was sold at affordable price points at department stores across the United States.

TIGER IRON MATRIX SPHERE Western Australia Exhibits chatoyant tiger’s eye and black hematite. Diameter 6.5”.

Weight 15.75 lbs.

400/600 Over two billion years ago, when tectonic plates shifted to form the Australian continent, deposits of red jasper, chatoyant tiger’s eye and black hematite were forced together under great pressure. The ancient ornamental gemstone, sometimes called “tiger’s eye matrix”, is the fascinating and beautiful product of these monumental geologic events. Because the physical properties of each of the three minerals differ so greatly, only an experienced lapidary has the ability to work this material.

2,500/3,000 Provenance: Given directly to the consignor by Malcolm Faulkner, William’s stepson.

William Faulkner (1897-1962), the American writer and Nobel prize laureate celebrated particularly for his contribution to Southern literature, was also a renowned sportsman. He learned to hunt growing up in Mississippi and the tales of the outdoors inspired much of his writing. He famously disappeared for his annual week at his deer camp the day after winning

the Nobel prize, frustrating the legions of reporters who were trying to interview him and antagonizing U.S. State Department officials who wanted to avoid an international insult.

Family history identifies the girls as Hattie (1847-1862) and Eliza Scudder, daughters of Eleazer Scudder and Eliza Temperance Lovell Scudder of Barnstable.

Although it was common for Chinese artists to paint portraits of Western subjects based on photographs, it is extremely unusual for the painting and the source photograph to remain together. Although the girls are wearing different dresses in the two portraits, the remaining details, including the stenciled floor, are nearly identical. Retains a portion of Hin Qua’s label affixed to the reverse of the period, most likely original, Chinese Chippendale frame. Oil on canvas, 25.75 x 21.25”. Framed 30” x 25.75”. 5,000/8,000 Provenance: Descended through the Rose, Shaw, Scudder and Converse families and consigned directly from the family.

JOHN HALEY BELLAMY Maine/New Hampshire, 1836-1914 Carved pine what-not shelf commemorating the Emancipation Proclamation and the Grand Army of the Republic, executed circa 1866-1872. Carved with a scrollwork border, a laurel wreath, a scroll inscribed “Jan. 1.st 1863”, a quill pen, broken chain links, and an American shield flanked by draped flags on poles. While unsigned, the textured dimpling below the inscription, the parallel tick marks throughout the scrollwork, and the execution of the other elements is stylistically consistent with authentic documented pieces produced under the direction of Bellamy by his firm, Titcomb & Bellamy of Charlestown, Massachusetts. Retains original metal hinges. Accompanied by a December 2017 letter of authentication from James A. Craig, a specialist in Bellamy’s work. Craig writes that apprentices made the original machine cuts on the piece, but Bellamy contributed the finishing surface cuts. Craig also writes this piece is the only known Grand Army of the Republic what-not shelf in existence, although it was long believed to have been part of Titcomb & Bellamy’s product line.

RARE LIGHTHOUSE CLOCK BY SIMON WILLARD & SONS

Elmer Stennes Weymouth, Massachusetts, 20th Century Lots 599-600

Elmer Stennes (1911-1975) built a reputation for making fine reproductions of classic American clock cases, but he is probably now best known for his involvement in two murder cases. He was trained as a cabinetmaker and began making clock cases fulltime in 1948. His production line included banjo, shelf, girandole and tall-case clocks, and his pieces were sold across the country. In 1968, following an argument, he shot and killed his wife Eva. Stennes called the Weymouth police himself, admitting to the crime. He was released on bond and went back to work while awaiting trial, branding his pieces from this time period with “O.O.B.” for “out on bond”. He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight to ten years of prison, where he continued to make clock cases, using fellow inmates as assistants. The clocks made in prison were branded “M.C.I.P.” for “Made Case in Prison”, or possibly “Massachusetts Correctional Institute Plymouth”. He was released on parole in 1972 and was remarried shortly thereafter to Phyllis Means. The salacious story concludes in 1974 when the couple was shot by intruders while they were sleeping in their bedroom. Stennes died from the multiple gunshot wounds he suffered.

As part of the New Deal arts initiatives, he produced murals for post offices in MacKenzie, Tennessee and Falmouth, Massachusetts.

Karl’s father, George Oberteuffer, studied with William M. Chase and Thomas Anshutz. He is known for the body of work he painted while in Europe, primarily watercolors of France and Germany, though he also painted in New Orleans and New England, notably Gloucester, Massachusetts and Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Charles Hawthorne teaching a class

THE PROVINCETOWN ART COLONY The concept of the art colony first appeared in Europe in the late 19th Century. It stemmed in part from William Morris and John Ruskin’s Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to focus on artisans and works made by human hands rather than machines. At the same time, Claude Monet and his band of “Impressionists” were reinventing the centuries-old practice of studying under a single master while honing their skills by copying works from the past.

Rather than practice in the artificiality of man-made urbanity, they chose to paint “en-plein air” and translate their visions directly from nature to the canvas.

As a result, students and masters alike migrated toward the countryside, specifically toward remote areas relatively untouched by the tentacles of progress, where the simplicity of the common man set against inspiring beauty and natural light provided the perfect subject matter.Vibrant artistic communities sprung to life, often revitalizing the local economy.

Traveling through Europe in the 1870s, Boston artist William Morris Hunt visited some of these communities and became determined to translate the concept to his homeland. He repatriated in 1877 and founded the first acknowledges American Art colony in Magnolia, Massachusetts. Others soon followed in Cape Ann, Long Island, Connecticut and New Mexico. But it was 22 years later, on the outermost spit of land that comprises Cape Cod, that the largest and most successful of the colonies would rise.

After study and travel in Europe, a then-28-year-old Charles Webster Hawthorne set off to found his very own school of art. Seeking the ideals of the great European colonies -- brilliant and natural light, relative isolation and an honest working class - he settled on a small fishing community at the extreme end of Cape Cod, the village of Provincetown.

At the time Provincetown was a small but thriving fishing community comprised of aging whalemen and a growing class of Portuguese fishermen. When Hawthorne arrived the town was recovering from “The Portland Gale” of 1898, which had decimated the fleet and resulted in numerous abandoned buildings. Many of these buildings became the homes and studios of the artists who started to arrive. As the fishing industry rebuilt, the artist colony continued to grow. The two remain intertwined to this day.

Hawthorne’s Cape Cod School of Art rapidly gained in popularity and reputation, attracting artists and students from around the country. The colony grew steadily through the first decade of the 20th Century but its most explosive growth occurred in the teens, when its growing reputation combined with artists fleeing the oncoming war in Europe.

By the end of the decade, Provincetown featured no less than six art schools and saw the founding of the Provincetown Art Association, the Beachcombers and the Provincetown Printers. To this day, Provincetown has remained one of the most active and important artistic centers in the country, where artists and fishermen still share stools at the local taverns and tourists clog Commercial Street every summer, buying the latest creations.

SHIPPING INFORMATION We require prompt payment and removal of your purchases as stated in Paragraph 12 of the Conditions of Sale.

If you plan to pick up your purchases, please call ahead and we’ll make every effort to have your items ready.

We provide shipping services directly from our gallery for select merchandise including small items, small paintings and rugs. We do not ship glass items or items framed under glass. Our staff can assist with determining if your items qualify for in-house shipping.

Shipments from our gallery may take four to six weeks from receipt of payment.

You will be charged for the shipping or carrier fees, packing and handling fees, and required insurance.

There is a minimum handling charge of $15.00 for all shipments. Depending on the carrier, insurance limits may exist (i.e., Federal Express will only insure up to $500).

If we are unable to ship your items we will provide you a list of alternative shipping agents. Upon your approval we will transfer your items to your chosen shipping agent. We require seven to ten business days for your payment to clear our banking system before releasing purchases to your chosen shipping agent.

Shipping estimates can be provided only AFTER we receive payment for your invoice.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION: Robert C. Eldred Co., Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Eldred’s) has exercised reasonable care to catalog and describe correctly the property to be sold, but neither Eldred’s nor its consignors warrant the correctness of description, attribution, authenticity, or condition of said property. No statements shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability with respect thereto, but are to be construed as opinions only. Bidders are encouraged to personally examine all property to be sold prior to the beginning of the auction.

2. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered.

3. Eldred’s reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale.

4. DETERMINATION OF HIGHEST BIDDER: The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer may determine who is the successful bidder or the auctioneer may re-offer the article in dispute and his decision shall be final.

5. REJECTION OF BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any nominal raise or any bid or raise which, in his opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the article being offered. At his discretion, he may also reject any nominal raise or any bid that he may determine as having a detrimental effect on the item in question or the sale as a whole. Eldred’s may refuse to issue bidding privileges to any person not in good credit standing with Eldred’s, or to any person who is deemed by Eldred’s in its sole discretion, to be disruptive of or harmful to established auction practices, either before or after the acceptance of bids or the fall of the hammer.

6. TITLE: Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser’s sole risk and responsibility.

7. PAYMENT: On title passing to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and subject to all the conditions set forth herein, such bidder will thereupon pay the full purchase price. Payment in full is due at the time of sale. Any bills not paid in full within 25 days of the date of the sale will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month.

In addition, the purchaser may be subject to one or more of the following actions: a) Any and all legal remedies available to Eldred’s and its consignors by law including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price; b) Immediate cancellation of the sale, with Eldred’s retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser; c) Resale of the property at public auction, wherein the original purchaser shall be liable for any deficiency, costs, and Eldred’s commission on both sales. At Eldred’s option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Eldred’s has collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, their authenticity has been confirmed.

A buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.

8. ORDER BIDS: Subject to these Conditions of Sale and to such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, but at no charge to the customer, Eldred’s will undertake to execute all order bids submitted to it by a customer who has established credit with said company. Requests for such bidding must be given in writing with such clearness as to leave no room for misunderstanding as to the amount to be bid and must state the catalog number and the name or title of the article to be bid on. Telephone bids must be confirmed in writing or by cable. All bids are kept in strict confidence. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received by Eldred’s will take precedence. Eldred’s shall not be held responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. A deposit of 10% of the total amount bid is required.

TELEPHONE BIDS: While the sale is in progress, bidding by telephone may be allowed by the auctioneer at his discretion. A deposit of 10% of the anticipated top bid is required. Eldred’s shall not be held

responsible for any failure to properly execute such a bid whether it be due to equipment failure, loss of connection, or failure to hear or understand the bidder’s directions. Any advice or opinions provided

by Eldred’s or its employees are given strictly as a courtesy and are not a warrant of condition, attribution, authenticity, or description of said property. All bidding by telephone is solely at the risk of the bidder.

9. CONDITION: If for any cause whatsoever any article sold cannot be delivered, or cannot be delivered in as good condition as the same may have been at the time of sale, due to a failure or damage on the company’s part, the sale will be cancelled, and any amount that may have been paid on account of the sale will be returned to the purchaser. EXCEPTION: Eldred’s will not be held responsible for damage to picture frames or lampshades.

10. SALES TAX: All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts sales tax (currently 6.25%) unless the purchaser: A) possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption or resale number and registers that number with the company, B) is an out-of-state vendor who meets all the requirements of Massachusetts Department of Revenue GLC 64H 1(5) and Directive 89-10 and registers with the company prior to each purchase, or C) has purchases shipped out of state (with the exception of Connecticut and New York) directly from Eldred’s by a bona fide shipping agent. Connecticut residents picking items up in our Mystic branch or having purchases shipped to their Connecticut address are responsible for CT state sales tax (currently 6.35%). New York residents having purchases shipped to their New York address are responsible for NY state sales tax (currently 4.0%). Due to the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, residents of other states may be required to pay their state sales tax on purchases as we meet each state’s nexus requirements. Dealers, museums, etc. can apply for a Massachusetts number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation, 100 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA 02204.

11. RESERVES: Unless advertised as an “Unreserved Auction”, all sales may have items subject to reserve (an agreed upon price between the auctioneer and the consignor, below which the article will not be sold).

12. COLLECTION OF PURCHASES: Delivery or shipping arrangements must be made within seven (7) days from the close of the auction for all purchases. All items must be removed from Eldred’s facilities within fourteen (14) days of the end of the auction.

All items remaining after fourteen days may be subject to a $5/per item/perday storage fee. No items will be released unless storage fees are paid in full. Items remaining over thirty (30) days from the close of the auction may be sold for the buyer’s account minus auction and storage fees.

13. PACKING: Purchasers are advised that packing and/or handling

by Eldred’s employees is undertaken solely as a courtesy for the convenience of customers. In the case of fragile articles, it will be undertaken at the sole discretion of the company. Handling and packing by Eldred’s is at the risk of the purchaser. SHIPPING: When requested, Eldred’s may arrange shipment of paid purchases.
