An important note regarding COVID-19 This catalog was scheduled to go to print just as the Coronavirus started spreading across the United States. Given how quickly changes need to be made in response to the pandemic, and taking into account the safety of our staff and clients, we made the unprecedented decision to not print and mail the catalog and instead present it digitally online.

As the situation regarding the virus unfolds, we urge you to visit our website, www.eldreds.com, for the most up-to-date information regarding auction dates, times and bidding options.

Thank you, as always, for your patronage. We appreciate each and every one of our clients and we wish you all good health.

W

hile 2020 is just into its fourth month, it is already one of the most dramatic and change-filled years in our over 70-year history.

Leading the way is our new website and complementary iPhone and Android apps, which allow for seamless pre-sale and real-time bidding directly through Eldred’s. As you explore the new site, still at eldreds.com, you will notice some significant changes to our auction schedule, including more regularly scheduled auctions, and a refocused auction schedule that includes some new auctions and changes to the traditional calendar slots for some of our longstanding annual auctions.

While all these changes are exciting, the biggest change you will notice is at the top of the masthead, where the titles of John and Sue Schofield have changed. I am pleased to announce that, after more than a century of combined service to Eldred’s, they have decided to enjoy a well-earned retirement. John was a past president of the company and led our Asian Art department since its inception in 1960s. Sue founded our Paul Jacoulet Prints department and was the company’s treasurer, overseeing the company through good times and bad times, but always keeping us in the black, no matter what the situation. I would not have the privilege of writing this letter if not for their many sacrifices and decades of tireless work. What makes this news easier is that John and Sue will not be strangers; they will both work as consultants, helping us gather new and exciting items and collections for auctions.

Speaking of collections, we are thrilled to have major consignments already in-house for 2020, including The Kelton Collection of Marine Art and Artifacts, and the Perkins Collection of New Hampshire Furniture. We will be selling the first lots of the Kelton Collection in this sale and its core at our annual summer Marine Sale. The Perkins Collection will lead our annual Summer Sale. There are other collections in the works, but there is still time to be part of what should be a historic 2020, and we would be happy to discuss consignment opportunities with you.

Thank you, as always, for your patronage and support.

See you at the auctions!

MAINE NEEDLEWORK SAMPLER

Circa 1835 Wrought by “Martha An [sic] Nutter Born March 18, 1825 Aged 10”. Upper portion with rows of alphabets above maker’s inscription followed by numerals 1 through 10. Lower portion with a Federal-style house flanked by fruit trees, bowls of flowers and meandering trefoil cross borders. Simple line borders along perimeter of sampler.

Genealogical research indicates Martha Nutter was born in Ripley, a small farming community in central Maine, to Richard Nutter and Betsey Weston. It is believed Martha was taught needlework by Mehitable Hanson, who lived with the family, as the style of this sampler is more indicative of New Hampshire and Southern Maine, where Hanson was from, rather than central Maine where Martha lived. 13.75” x 17.25” sight.

Framed 16” x 19.25”.

For the remainder of her career, she carried coal, lumber, barrel and case oil, cotton and guano to ports throughout the Pacific, South America, the Far East and Europe. Resolute was abandoned in a sinking condition in March 1886 while on a voyage from Philadelphia to Europe. At the time she was under Dutch registry and rigged as a bark.

EXHIBITION STANDARD ADMIRALTY BOARD-STYLE MODEL OF THE 60-GUN SHIP H.M.S CENTURION BY J. CULTER America, 20th Century In 1:48 scale. Based on plans from the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, United Kingdom. Hull built up in plank-on-frame construction, predominantly in boxwood.

The lower hull is un-planked, showing the hull framing, and then planked from the waist up through the gun decks, with a black waist, chain plates with dead-eyes, sixty pierced gun ports with hinged lids, and other details on the hull. Stern and quarter galleries are finely carved and detailed with glazed windows. At the bow, and supported by the head rails, is a carved and polychromed figurehead of a lion wearing a crown. Deck is mostly planked with some open areas showing the detail in the deck framing, further detailed with the bulwarks painted red, heads, bit posts, cut-away masts, stove pipes, hatch gratings, belaying rails, bell and canopy, capstan, companionways, deck rails, balustrades, etc. Height on stand 14.5”. Length 43”.

4,000/6,000 One of the most famous ships of her day, the H.M.S. Centurion was built by Surveyor Allin at Portsmouth Dockyard to a modified 1719 Establishment design. Ordered and laid down in 1729, she was 144 feet on deck with a 40 foot beam, and carried a crew of 400. She was launched January 6, 1733 as a third-rate with sixty guns.

In the autumn of 1739, Centurion was placed under the command of Captain George Anson, whose orders were to take a squadron to the Pacific, harry Spanish possessions there, and, if possible, capture one of the valuable treasure ships known as the Acapulco galleons, which annually traveled between Mexico and Manila.

By June 1743 various misfortunes had reduced Anson’s squadron of six vessels to a single ship, Centurion. The vessel was by then well-armed and manned by a highly experienced veteran crew.

On June 20 Centurion sighted, gave chase, engaged and captured the Spanish treasure galleon Nuestra Senora de Cobadonga, the richest prize ever taken during the era of sail. With the Spaniards combing the ocean around the Philippines, Anson then decided to return home by circumnavigating the globe, still a highly unusual and immensely risky voyage in the Mid-18th Century. Arriving back in England in 1744 with treasure valued at over a half million pounds sterling (around $400 million by today’s standards), Anson’s reputation was made and his career assured. Likewise was his ship, whose name became synonymous with the triumphant exploits of her commander.

Centurion was refitted as a fourth-rate of fifty guns after her round-the-world voyage and briefly renamed Eagle. Due to Anson’s influence, however, she reverted to her original name again in 1745. Thereafter, she saw action at the battle of Cape Finistere in 1747, during the Seven Years War in 1758, at Quebec in 1759 and also at the capture of Havana in 1762. Centurion was laid up after the Treaty of Paris in 1763 and finally broken up at Chatham in

County of Peebles was an iron-hulled, four-masted ship built in 1875 by Barclay, Curie & Co., Glasgow, for Robert Craig. Having seen many tall three-masted ships lose their rig, Craig made the decision to have his County Line ships spread their 30,610 square feet of sail over four very strongly rigged shorter masts. Between 1880 and 1898 the County of Peebles had a busy schedule, making seventeen round-trip voyages from Europe to India or China without accident. Her 83-day passage form Cardiff to Bombay in 1880 was a record at the time. She was sold to Chile in 1898. Her hulk remains at Punta Arenas.

“Capture of the U.S.S. President - Battle report to the Secretary of the Navy Benjamin Crowninshield” by Stephen Decatur, online at www.cronab.demon.co.uk.

Provenance: Skinner Auctions, Boston, June 2006.

1815, under the command of Stephen Decatur, President slipped the blockade that had held her in New York Harbor for nearly a year. The Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812, had already been signed, but word had not yet reached New York. During its escape, the President grounded on a sandbar for several hours during the night, damaging her keel and badly straining her hull.

Working her way off the bar the following morning, the frigate soon encountered a British squadron led by the 50-gun Endymion, which immediately gave chase. The following account is from Decatur’s after-action report to Crowninshield, Secretary of the U.S. Navy: “The Endymion, mounting 50 guns, had now approached us within gun shot, and had commenced a firer with her bow guns, which we returned from our stern.” Decatur, realizing he could not outrun the British in his damaged condition, turned for a broadside action and had actually gained the advantage over Endymion until Majestic and Pomone arrived. After a fierce battle where he lost nearly half his crew, Decatur was forced to strike his flag. President was seized as a war prize and taken to England, too badly damaged for further work. She was broken up at Portsmouth in 1817, but not before her lines were taken off by the Admiralty, which were used for a new British warship of the same name.

Peter Q. Libby Maine, 1944-2018

311.

Master carver Peter Q. Libbey was born in Maine and spent most of his life there, save for his time in the Air Force, when he was stationed in Japan and flew missions over Vietnam. His eagles were carved by hand in the traditional style and are considered some of the finest 20th Century carvings. Given the time it took to complete each eagle his production was limited and examples rarely come on the market.

FINE DOUBLE EAGLE PLAQUE BY PETER Q. LIBBEY

Rockland, Maine, Circa 1975 Boldly carved and painted pine rendering of two eagles clutching a red, white and blue American shield and a blue and gilt “E. Pluribus Unum” banner in their talons.

Below the shield is a green olive branch bearing red berries.

Exquisitely detailed and with a wonderful sense of motion and tension. The eagles’ heads face different directions and their sharp beaks are open, showing their slithering red tongues. Their feathers are highly defined, unique to Libbey’s style, and their wings are raised as if they are about to take flight. The shield’s white stars are raised and a matching star punctuates the banner. Signed on reverse “Peter Q. Libbey”.

Height 20”. Width 60”. Depth 3”.

Henry Spencer Moore United Kingdom, 1898-1986

587.

“Divided Head”.

Signed and numbered on base “Moore 2/9”.

Bronze, height 13.75”. Total height including marble base 20.75”.

50,000/100,000 Provenance: The estate of a Rhode Island gentleman.

Arguably one of the most celebrated sculptors of the 20th Century, Henry Spencer Moore is renowned for semi-abstract bronzes, many of which are monumental installations.

Moore was born in a small mining town in Yorkshire.

He trained to be a teacher and served in the British Army before studying at Leeds School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London.

His works are typically abstractions of the human figure, often pierced or containing hollow spaces. The undulating, organic shapes take inspiration from the Yorkshire countryside and objects found in nature, like bones, rocks, shells and twisted tree roots. His forms also reference the bold figural sculptures of ancient Egypt, Africa and the Americas.

By the mid-20th Century, Moore was a global celebrity and considered the most influential sculptor of his generation. His work is seen in prominent public spaces around the globe, including the commissioned works at the UNESCO building in Paris, the University of Chicago and College Green, London.

John Whorf Massachusetts, 1903-1959 Lots 780-782

780

Although John Whorf was a competent postimpressionist oil painter, he is considered one of the finest American watercolorists from the Early 20th Century. His realistic depictions of urban and rural life done in a luminous painterly style are often compared to John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer. Whorf turned increasingly toward watercolors as his career progressed, as he felt they better suited his expressive and aesthetic interests.

He developed a confident yet spontaneous method of applying paint, interspersing sparkling transparent washes with areas of deep opaque color.

Artist Bill Davis has generously donated this painting to the cause, and Eldred’s is offering it with no associated seller’s commission or fees.

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.

Please refer to our Advice to Bidders for details.

14. These Conditions of Sale cannot be altered except in writing by Eldred’s or by public announcement by the auctioneer at the time of the sale.

15. Bidding on any article(s) indicates acceptance of the terms set forth above.
