New England’s Trusted Auction & Appraisal Professionals

SOLD: $13,200 This miniature Persian Qur’an was brought to us on Free Appraisal Day. The consignor’s father was a US diplomat who purchased it as a gift for his wife in the 1950s. The octagonal banner box, set with semi-precious stones, contained an octagonal Qur’an with gilt leather covers. At auction, this unique and rare item started a bidding war that far exceeded the consignor’s expectations!

Auctioneer’s Note Traditionally our Summer Auction Weekend is comprised of an extensive selection of Maine artwork – an opportunity to display the talent of local artisans and the beauty of our State to prospective bidders worldwide. This year, our Maine & Beyond auction is no different!

We kick off our Summer Auction Weekend on Friday with hundreds of works by Maine artists featuring iconic Maine landscapes along with an impressive selection of folk art and country furniture. Artwork by Andrew Wyeth, John Marin, Dahlov Ipcar, Wiliam Thon, Ron Frontin and Eric Hopkins is complemented by a large group of classic weathervanes, decoys, ship models and both early and contemporary painted furniture.

Featured Saturday, in addition to an unsurpassed selection of fine art and antiques, is a lifelong collection of important firefighting memorabilia, including an 1851 Presentation Fire Helmet, painted leather fire buckets, early firefighting paintings, prints and photos, firehouse desks, badges, Kaja Veilleux and advertising items. Fine art highlights include works by John Stobart, Jasper Cropsey, John Owner, Appraiser & Auctioneer Kensett, S.F. M. Badger , Childe Hassam and Edward Borein. Early American & European furniture, antiquities and Asian art complete what will be full and exciting day.

For Sunday, we’ve saved some of the best for last. A rare Tiffany Art Noveaux boudoir desk leads our 20th c. furniture selection that also includes two lots of mid-century classic leather and chrome Barcelona chairs plus several pieces of Eldred Wheeler custom furniture. Tiffany also shines with a collection of Tiffany Studios art glass including a Favrile glass lily lamp. Seven vehicles ranging from a 1919 Mathis automobile to a 2012 Harley Davidson mortorcycle are also among the day’s offerings. Additional art glass, jewelry and watches, silver, Oriental carpets and timepieces also deserve attention.

We’re excited and we’re sure you will be too. Please join us for Maine & Beyond, the most significant auction event of the summer!

Conditions of Sale Please Note: Our Conditions of Sale have recently changed TERMS OF SALE: By registering to bid on any lot or any participation in an auction at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries (TPAG), you (the bidder or agent bidding on behalf of others, ref. par.13) agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

CONDITION OF ITEMS & WARRANTY INFORMATION: Thomaston Place Auction Galleries (TPAG) makes every attempt to uphold the highest standards in the auction industry. Our goal is to consistently deliver the highest level of products and services to our customers. Our catalog descriptions represent what we have deemed appropriate to identify each object and we stand behind our descriptions as they relate to authenticity, however all items for sale are offered “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present, absentee, phone or online) to determine the exact condition of each item. Our warranty does come with parameters and it is the bidder’s responsibility to understand those parameters fully. Please take time to familiarize yourself with what is covered and make your bidding decisions accordingly.

1) All items are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility to inspect, research, and determine the authenticity of all items upon which bids are placed. Determination of age, materials, condition, quality, authenticity, classification, purported history and perceived value, regardless of what is written or said by TPAG, is the sole responsibility of the bidder/buyer.

2) TPAG nor it’s consignor(s) makes any expressed or implied guarantees, warranties or representations in regard to the property merchantability or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, medium or material, period, culture, source, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise.

3) The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not in any way imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free of wear, imperfections or the effects of aging.

4) Condition Reports for items may be requested up to 48 hours prior to the date of the auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner however, we cannot guarantee that a request submitted within 48 hours will be answered prior to the auction date. Neither TPAG nor it’s consignor makes any guarantee or warranty with regards to these reports. It is the buyer’s responsibility to examine each item and make their own assessment prior to the auction.

5) All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical

or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, TPAG is not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of antiques and items.

6) Goods made from or containing materials from protected species - TPAG does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omissions in marketing or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such materials include, but are not limited to ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder.

It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions and licensing on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale or the delay of payment of purchased items in accordance with these bidder Terms and Conditions of Sale.

If you are not able to make what you consider to be a comfortable decision about an item or if you believe an item may be incorrectly described in our catalog, we suggest that you refrain from bidding on said item.

RETURNS 7) Items may be considered for return under very specific conditions and within 30 days after the auction. It is important that you pay for and acquire your item in a timely fashion. In the event we have made a significant attribution or disclosure of condition error such that there is a major effect on the value of an item, please contact us immediately (within 30 days after the auction.) We will review under the following circumstances:

For additional details and images see our website, www.thomastonauction.com

3

A. The item has been paid for and the buyer has possession of the item.

B. The buyer must have the item reviewed by an independent party who is approved by TPAG, and is a recognized expert within the field of the item in question.

C. The expert provides a written report with specific and detailed reasons as to why the item is not as it was represented to be. The written report must be submitted to TPAG. D. Our descriptions include what we deem to accurately portray an item’s general condition. However, opinions about condition can vary and as such, the auctioneer shall make the final determination in the possible event of a refund.

E. The timeline for this process is 30 days from the date of the auction. In the event a committee or review board must convene to review the item, TPAG must be notified in order to extend the time beyond the 30 day limit. Otherwise after 30 days, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. F. Once TPAG has accepted the ruling of the expert(s), the buyer is to return the item to TPAG at buyer’s expense. In order to be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in the same condition it was in when it left TPAG’s possession.

G. In the event a refund is issued, it will be for the cost of the item, buyer’s premium and any sales tax paid. The refund will be made in the same form as the payment of the original transaction.

8) No Chargeback Policy - Purchasers agree that disputes of any nature will not be resolved by a credit card chargeback and further agree to refrain from filing any chargeback claim against Thomaston Place Auction Galleries and/or its credit card merchant.

By purchasing with us, the purchaser waives the right to initiate a chargeback and furthermore agrees to pay a minimum of $500 plus administrative fees, attorney fees, and/or any other charges associated with responding to said chargeback.

Jewelry and items with mechanical parts such as clocks, timepieces, mechanical banks, music boxes, etc. are sold “as-is” on the day of sale and may require servicing.

The subject matter of this painting is taken from the Biblical story, but it is rendered in the manner of a Greek tragedy; it is restricted to only three actors. Yet, it is presented to us as a modern story with characters who look intently towards the observer and appeal directly to us. The scene is set with buildings of an old Italian city as background. The actors animating the story on the painting evoke disquietude as they address the viewer and 3066 demand his involvement. $2,000 - $4,000 218
