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!

He subsequently had a steady source of income from painting portraits of the President, and (after his assassination) came to be in demand by upper crust families to paint composite portraits of generations (which was also a popular photographic theme).

2353 JOHN HANCOCK SIGNED 1777 APPOINTMENT OF AN OFFICER TO WYLLYS’ REGIMENT, 2ND LT SAMUEL RICHARDS (LATER CAPTAIN) American Revolutionary War Appointment of Samuel Richards, Gent. as a Second Lieutenant in the Regiment commanded by Samuel Wyllys, Esq., Colonel. Dated Hartford in the State of Connecticut, the first Day January, Anno Dom 1777, signed by John Hancock as President of the Congress, attested by Charles Thomson, Secy. 7 3/4” x 10” partly printed document on laid paper, mounted under glass in a mahogany frame, 11 3/4” x 13 3/4”.

Samuel Wyllys (1739-1823) was appointed lieutenant colonel in Colonel Joseph Spencer’s 2nd Connecticut Regiment in 1775. He was appointed Colonel 22nd Conn in Jan 1776. From 1777-1781, Colonel Wyllys commanded the 3rd Connecticut Regiment in the Connecticut Line. After the war he was Connecticut Secretary of State.

2353

Charles Thomson (1729 -1824) was an Irish-born Patriot leader, who served as the secretary of the Continental Congress in its entirety.

Captain Samuel Richards (1755-1822) was born and raised in Farmington, Conn. He joined up in 1775 at age 20, served until 1781, taking part in many battles. Afterwards, he returned home, where he was Postmaster for 20 years.

Capt. Richards kept a diary that was first published in 1909. To quote the publisher of the 2014 edition, Big Byte Books: “As a Connecticut Captain in America’s Revolutionary War, Samuel Richards lived through the carnage and deprivations that were the cost of freedom from England. His diary is important for its vivid descriptions of life in the ranks during battle, starvation, and the great events of his day. Along the way, he saw Washington and Lafayette, fought the British, lost friends, and wrote his experiences for a later date. We have retained Captain Richards’ quirky, inconsistent spelling and capitalization. Every memoir of the American Revolution provides us with another view of the war that created the United States”. Copy included. $3,000 - $5,000 176

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 its 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 its 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.

192

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.

31) If the shipping address is different than the credit card billing address, TPAG will hold shipment for 30 days from the date of payment.

32) TPAG will not alter any catalog descriptions or declare less than the full purchase price on any international customs paperwork. All international customs documents and costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

33) All items must be picked up from our auction facility within 30 days of the sale unless prior arrangements have been made. For items unclaimed after 30 days: A. Items left at TPAG for more than 30 days will be subject to a storage fee of $50 per item, per month to be paid prior to collection of items.

B. Items left at TPAG over 45 days after the date of sale may, at the sole discretion of TPAG, be re-sold on buyer’s behalf. The above costs of storage, plus any other costs directly related to the items and an auctioneer’s commission of 30% will be subtracted from the proceeds.

C. Items unsold or unclaimed by 180 days from the date of this agreement will become the sole property of TPAG and may be sold or otherwise disposed of without reporting or liability of any sort to the buyer.

34) The inability to choose an acceptable shipping option is NOT a reason for non-payment of an item’s full purchase price.

35) Attention online bidders: Any items won during auction will not be available for pick-up until the second business day after the auction. Please call ahead!

36) Anyone planning to pick up items from TPAG, should call 24 hours in advance to make arrangements.
