Lot Number 1

Rosalie S. Asher Archive of Caryl Chessman, America’s Most Famous Death Row Case, with Original Manuscripts, 1948–1963 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An extensive and previously unpublished archive relating to Caryl Chessman (1921–1960), the most famous condemned prisoner in America during the 1950s and the central figure in one of the most widely publicized capital punishment cases in American history. Preserved by Sacramento attorney Rosalie S. Asher, a member of Chessman’s legal team, the approximately 2.5-linear-foot archive contains original literary manuscripts, legal briefs, correspondence, attorney working files, handwritten notebooks, research files, photographs, press material, and records documenting Chessman’s twelve years on San Quentin’s Death Row. Convicted in 1948 as the notorious “Red Light Bandit,” Chessman received two death sentences under California’s kidnapping statute despite never being convicted of murder. His case became an international controversy, raising enduring questions about capital punishment, due process, and the limits of the criminal justice system. While pursuing his own appeals from Death Row, he became the first condemned prisoner to achieve worldwide literary success, publishing bestselling books before his execution in California’s gas chamber on May 2, 1960. The archive preserves original working manuscripts for several of Chessman’s books, including a 263-page manuscript of The Kid Was a Killer; a three-volume carbon copy of Cell 2455, Death Row, later adapted into the Columbia Pictures feature film; and a three-volume carbon copy of Trial by Ordeal, including a cover boldly inscribed, “PROPERTY OF CARYL CHESSMAN #66565.” Also included are an edited manuscript of Duel with Death, drafts of My Client and I, and additional unpublished literary material. The legal archive is equally significant, containing Chessman’s California Supreme Court appellate briefs prepared in propria persona, extensive material relating to the famous transcript controversy, attorney Rosalie Asher’s correspondence with San Quentin officials—including a signed 1959 letter transmitting The Kid Was a Killer manuscript for Chessman’s revision—contemporaneous notebooks, legislative hearing transcripts, radio and television scripts, research papers, photographs, and extensive documentation of the international clemency campaign. Taken together, the archive chronicles not only the life of one of America’s most famous condemned prisoners, but also the intersection of crime, punishment, constitutional law, publishing, journalism, and the modern debate over capital punishment. Preserved substantially intact through Rosalie Asher’s family, it represents an exceptional primary-source archive documenting one of the most consequential criminal cases in twentieth-century American legal history. Dimensions: Approximately 2.5 linear feet comprising multiple binders, manuscripts, legal files, correspondence, notebooks, photographs, and research material. Provenance: Archive of Rosalie S. Asher, attorney for Caryl Chessman; retained by Asher and descended directly through her family to the present owner. Condition: Archive substantially intact with expected handling wear from active legal and editorial use, including annotations, editorial revisions, folds, toning, and filing marks throughout. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx for $225 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 2

First UK edition, first printing. Octavo (8vo), x, 196 pp. Original black cloth lettered in silver, in the original first-state illustrated dust jacket designed by Barry Trengrove, unclipped and retaining the printed “16s Net” price. Widely regarded as one of the most important works of twentieth-century British literature, A Clockwork Orange introduced Burgess’s inventive “Nadsat” vocabulary while exploring themes of free will, morality, and state control. The novel achieved enduring international recognition following Stanley Kubrick’s acclaimed 1971 film adaptation. First printings in original dust jackets remain among the most sought-after works of modern literary fiction. Dimensions: 8 x 5.5 in. Provenance: Deaccessioned from the library of a retired California attorney and longtime collector as part of a downsizing. Condition: Good/Very Good.

Lot Number 3

Langston Hughes Signed and Inscribed First Edition ‘The Big Sea’ Along with A Signed Letter with Carmel Provenance Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 The Big Sea: 1940 Stated First Edition, Alfred A. Knopf. Front free endpaper inscribed, “For Frity and Marjorie, with happy memories of pleasant evenings at their home. Sincerely, Langston, Carmel, January 10, 1941.” Found tucked between the pastedown and free end paper is a typed letter with a “Hollow Hills Farm (Carmel Valley) Jamesburg Route, Monterey, Califoria” letterhead. The typed letter is hand-signed in pen by Langston Hughes and also made out to Fritz and Marjorie. In the letter, Langston Hughes describes his state of being ill while staying at Fritz and Marjorie’s cottage, and enjoying Fritz and Marjorie’s “Gay and beutiful little plant” while it was raining outside. Hughes goes on to thank Fritz and Marjorie for lending him their copy of ‘Poor People’ (likely referring to the novel by Dostoevsky). The last paragraph of the letter makes reference to ‘Noel’ and looking forward to a Dorothy Maynor concert. ‘Noel’ is a reference to Noel Sullivan, whom Hughes shared a lifelong friendship with and was a well known wealthy arts patron. Noel Sullivan is documented to have provided Langston Hughes with housing in San Francisco, as well as a cottage in Carmel, this Hollow Hills Farm being that cottage. This lot may be picked up free of charge from our facilities in Sacramento, CA. Processing and shipping within the Continental US $65.00.

Lot Number 4

Colonial Quito Polychrome Carved Wood Calvary Group, 18th Century Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 A finely carved and polychromed wood Calvary group from Quito, Ecuador, 18th century, depicting Christ Crucified accompanied by the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Sorrows, Saint John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalene kneeling at the foot of the Cross. Executed in carved wood with original polychromy, gilded estofado decoration, and numerous applied silver devotional ornaments, the ensemble reflects the accomplished sculptural tradition that flourished in colonial Quito during the Spanish period. Following the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century, Catholicism became the dominant faith throughout the Andes, and religious imagery assumed a central role in both public worship and private devotion. By the eighteenth century, Quito had emerged as one of the foremost artistic centers of the Spanish Empire in the Americas, where specialized workshops produced richly carved devotional sculpture for churches, monasteries, and affluent households. Rather than serving solely as decoration, Calvary groups such as this formed the spiritual focus of private chapels and family oratories, encouraging prayer and meditation on Christ’s Passion through expressive carving, luminous polychromy, and symbolic devotional imagery. Colonial sculpture of this quality was the product of highly specialized workshops. Master carvers created the figures before painters applied lifelike flesh tones (encarnación), gilders executed the richly patterned estofado decoration, and silversmiths fashioned halos and other devotional ornaments. The Virgin retains historic devotional textile embellishments, including a lace veil and fabric mantle added during the sculpture’s devotional life, together with an applied silver heart pierced by a sword symbolizing the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin. Christ, the Virgin, Saint John, and Mary Magdalene retain individually crafted silver halos and devotional ornaments, all unmarked and testing .925+ silver by XRF. The ensemble remains mounted on its original carved rocky base of substantial solid wood. Comparable eighteenth-century Calvary groups from the Quito School are preserved in major museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrating the enduring artistic legacy of colonial Ecuador and the importance of Quito as one of the principal centers of sacred sculpture in the Spanish Americas. Dimensions: 14 x 9 x 25in., high. Provenance: Collected in Quito, Ecuador by Ana Cordovez (1907–1974). By descent to her daughter, Ximena Angotti (1929–2024), who served as Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco, and retained by the family until the present deaccession by the current heir. Condition: Overall good antique condition consistent with age and devotional use. Original polychromy and gilding with expected surface wear, scattered losses, abrasions, age-related shrinkage cracks, and minor restorations. The Virgin retains historic devotional textile embellishments with expected age-related wear. The carved base exhibits age-related shrinkage and old fills. All silver devotional ornaments are unmarked and test .925+ silver by XRF. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $155 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 5

Ecuadorian (Quito School), 18th Century, Our Lady of the Rosary with Saints Dominic and Saint Francis Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 An important Ecuadorian (Quito School) oil on canvas depicting Our Lady of the Rosary enthroned upon clouds with the Christ Child, accompanied by Saints Dominic and Saint Francis in prayer. The Virgin and Child each present a rosary, illustrating the Dominican tradition that the Blessed Virgin entrusted the Rosary to Saint Dominic as an instrument of prayer and evangelization. Executed during the eighteenth century, the composition reflects the flourishing devotional art of colonial Quito, one of the foremost artistic centers of the Spanish Americas. Following the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century, Catholicism became the dominant faith throughout the Andes, and religious imagery assumed a central role in both public worship and private devotion. Workshops in Quito developed a distinctive artistic tradition that blended European Baroque composition with Indigenous and mestizo craftsmanship, producing paintings and sculpture for churches, monasteries, convents, and affluent households throughout the Spanish Empire. Paintings such as this served not merely as decoration but as instruments of religious instruction and contemplation, reinforcing the central role of the Rosary in colonial spiritual life. The painting displays many characteristics associated with the Quito School, including delicately modeled facial types, a luminous palette, balanced composition, and restrained Baroque ornament. Executed in oil on canvas, it survives on its original support beneath a later professional lining and is presented in a substantial carved Ecuadorian hardwood frame bearing the label of the Quito ecclesiastical workshop of Heriberto T. Salgado, reflecting its continued preservation in Ecuador. The painting is further distinguished by its direct Ecuadorian provenance, having been collected in Quito by Ana Cordovez before descending through the family of Ximena Angotti, Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco, and retained by the family until the present deaccession. Fresh to the market, it represents a well-preserved example of colonial Andean devotional painting. The subject of Our Lady of the Rosary attended by Saints Dominic and Saint Francis ranks among the most enduring devotional themes of the Spanish Colonial world and is represented in major museum collections and international auctions devoted to Latin American art. Dimensions: Canvas: 40.5 x 32in. Framed: 53 x 48in. Provenance: Collected in Quito, Ecuador by Ana Cordovez (1907–1974). By descent to her daughter, Ximena Angotti (1929–2024), who served as Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco, and retained by the family until the present deaccession by the current heir. Condition: Professionally relined. Visible repaired area with scattered inpainting. Areas of lifting between the original canvas and lining canvas. Surface craquelure, minor abrasions, and age-related wear consistent with an eighteenth-century devotional painting. The carved frame exhibits expected wear consistent with age and use. Pickup & Shipping: This lot is available for free pickup in Sacramento. For crating and freight delivery, we recommend Capital Crating. For blanket-wrapped delivery within California, contact Delbert McCrea at (831) 566-6088. For cross-country shipping, CCC Transport can be reached at (929) 450-5027.

Lot Number 6

Ecuadorian (Quito School), 18th Century, Virgin of the Milk Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 An Ecuadorian (Quito School) oil on canvas depicting the Virgin Mary nursing the Christ Child, a devotional subject known as the Virgen de la Leche, or Virgin of the Milk. Derived from the longstanding Christian tradition of the Maria Lactans, the subject emphasizes both Christ’s human nature and the Virgin’s maternal role. Intended for private devotion, images of the nursing Madonna encouraged meditation on the Incarnation while expressing Mary’s compassion and protection. The restrained composition, warm flesh tones, extensive gilt embellishment, and decorative treatment exemplify the mature artistic traditions of the eighteenth-century Quito School. The painting is further distinguished by its direct Ecuadorian provenance, having been collected in Quito by Ana Cordovez before descending through the family of Ximena Angotti, Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco. Ecuadorian inspection and export markings dated June 4, 1987, remain visible on the reverse, documenting its lawful export from Ecuador prior to its descent to the present owner. Dimensions: Canvas: 17.75 x 14in. Framed: 23.25 x 19.75in. Provenance: Collected in Quito, Ecuador by Ana Cordovez (1907–1974). By descent to her daughter, Ximena Angotti (1929–2024), who served as Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco, and retained by the family until the present deaccession by the current heir. Condition: Likely conserved prior to export from Ecuador, including structural stabilization of the original canvas and mounting on a later linen support and twentieth-century stretcher. Overall surface craquelure, with scattered abrasions, edge wear, minor paint loss, and areas of restoration consistent with age. Newer fastening nails are present. The carved giltwood frame exhibits expected surface wear, scattered losses, cracks, and old repairs. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $85 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 7

Ecuadorian (Quito School), 18th Century, Arquebus-Bearing Archangel Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 An Ecuadorian (Quito School) oil on canvas depicting an arquebus-bearing archangel clothed in richly ornamented court attire with multicolored wings and an elaborate feathered hat. Among the most distinctive subjects of colonial Andean art, the Ángeles Arcabuceros emerged during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, portraying heavenly guardians as noble soldiers of the Spanish court. The depiction of a wheel-lock arquebus, together with the richly embellished Baroque costume and extensive gilt decoration, is characteristic of this celebrated Quito School tradition and remains one of the defining artistic expressions of Spanish Colonial Ecuador. Combining European Baroque fashion with Indigenous artistic traditions, these celestial figures symbolized divine protection while allowing artists to display extraordinary decorative refinement through intricate gilding, patterned textiles, and vibrant color. The painting is further distinguished by its direct Ecuadorian provenance, having been collected in Quito by Ana Cordovez before descending through the family of Ximena Angotti, Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco. Ecuadorian inspection and export markings dated June 4, 1987, remain visible on the reverse, documenting its lawful export from Ecuador prior to its descent to the present owner. Dimensions: Canvas: 27.5 x 19.75in. Framed: 33 x 25.5in. Provenance: Collected in Quito, Ecuador by Ana Cordovez (1907–1974). By descent to her daughter, Ximena Angotti (1929–2024), who served as Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco, and retained by the family until the present deaccession by the current heir. Condition: Likely conserved prior to export from Ecuador, including structural stabilization of the original canvas and mounting on a later linen support and twentieth-century stretcher. Overall craquelure, scattered abrasions, surface grime, areas of restoration, and expected wear consistent with age. The carved giltwood frame exhibits scattered losses, shrinkage cracks, old repairs, and surface wear. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $140 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 8

Ecuadorian (Quito School), 18th Century, Holy Family Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An Ecuadorian (Quito School) oil on canvas depicting the Holy Family beneath the Holy Trinity. God the Father appears above within the clouds, flanked by attendant angels, while the Holy Spirit descends as a dove with a humanized face, a characteristic feature of Spanish Colonial religious art. Below, the Christ Child stands between the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, uniting the Holy Trinity with Christ’s earthly family in a single devotional image. Created for private devotion, images of the Holy Family encouraged meditation on the virtues of faith, humility, obedience, and the sanctity of family life, making them among the most enduring subjects of colonial Ecuadorian religious art. The painting is further distinguished by its direct Ecuadorian provenance, having been collected in Quito by Ana Cordovez before descending through the family of Ximena Angotti (1929–2024), Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco, and retained by the family until the present deaccession by the current heir. Dimensions: Canvas: 23 x 15.5in. Framed: 26 x 18.75in. Provenance: Collected in Quito, Ecuador by Ana Cordovez (1907–1974). By descent to her daughter, Ximena Angotti (1929–2024), who served as Honorary Consul of Ecuador in San Francisco, and retained by the family until the present deaccession by the current heir. Condition: Professionally relined and mounted on a later stretcher, likely as part of an earlier conservation campaign. Overall craquelure, scattered abrasions, minor paint loss, and areas of restoration consistent with age. The modern gilt frame exhibits expected light surface wear. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $85 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 9

Chinese Imperial Court Dragon Apron Panel Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 A finely embroidered Chinese imperial court apron panel featuring a powerful five-clawed dragon executed in raised gold-thread embroidery amid scrolling clouds, waves, and auspicious emblems. The central dragon emerges above a dramatic lishui border of stylized cresting waves and sacred mountain forms, a design element closely associated with formal court costume and rank attire. The field is populated with numerous traditional symbols including Buddhist treasures, floral motifs, and emblems associated with prosperity, longevity, and good fortune. The upper register displays a pair of confronting dragons pursuing a flaming pearl against a dark ground. Executed in silk and metallic thread, the embroidery demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The dragons are worked in heavily padded gold couching, producing a pronounced three-dimensional effect, while the surrounding motifs exhibit intricate shading and finely articulated stitchwork. The panel retains its original blue waistband and silk lining and displays the quality construction associated with formal Chinese court textiles. The rich palette of gold, blue, black, and coral-red silk is characteristic of high-status Chinese court embroidery. Dimensions: 37.5 x 41 in. Provenance: The estate of Lt. Col. Carl Hugo Trik (1891–1951), a veteran of both World War I and World War II with documented service in the Pacific Theater; thence by direct family descent to the present heir. Condition: Original construction with original silk lining and waistband present. Scattered creases, areas of wear, minor staining, and small losses consistent with age and use. The metallic and silk embroidery remains visually strong, with particularly impressive raised goldwork throughout the dragon motifs. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping within the continental U.S. for $40 plus 1.5% insurance. Combined lot shipping available.

Lot Number 10

Lam Qua (Chinese, 1801–1860), Macao, Panoramic Harbor View Estimate: $10,000 – $15,000 An oil on canvas panoramic harbor view of Macao, titled Macao within the composition at lower center. Attributed to Lam Qua (Chinese, 1801–1860), the foremost Chinese painter serving the foreign merchant community at Canton and Macao during the China Trade, the painting depicts the celebrated panorama from Penha Hill overlooking the Portuguese enclave, including the sweeping Praia Grande waterfront, the ruins of St. Paul’s, Fort Monte, Guia Hill, Ilha Verde, and a harbor alive with Chinese junks and Western merchant vessels. It preserves one of the defining visual records of Macao during the height of the China Trade, decades before photography documented the city. Today the Macao Special Administrative Region of China, Macao served as the principal residence of Western merchants engaged in the China Trade before Hong Kong assumed that role following the First Opium War. During the first half of the nineteenth century, merchants from the United States and Europe lived in Macao while conducting business in nearby Canton, making the city one of the world’s most important commercial ports. Panoramic views such as this documented its appearance for merchants returning home and today remain invaluable records of its architectural, maritime, and commercial history. Its uninterrupted descent through the family of Nathaniel Kinsman (1798–1847), the Salem merchant who established Wetmore & Company’s Macao office in 1843, provides exceptional historical context. Kinsman’s Macao residence was the subject of a celebrated pair of Lam Qua paintings that realized $77,635 at Christie’s London in the 2016 sale Topographical Pictures. Together with the Nathaniel Kinsman autograph sea letter and hand-tinted Fanny of Salem photograph offered in the preceding lot, the present painting remains part of an intact family archive documenting one of Salem’s best-known China Trade merchants. Comparable examples of this celebrated panorama are preserved in the Hong Kong Museum of History and published by leading China Trade scholar Martyn Gregory. Another example of the same view, catalogued as by an unknown Chinese artist (circa 1810), realized £16,640 (approximately US$22,000, including buyer’s premium) at Bonhams London in 2025. Dimensions: 18 x 24 in.; framed 21.25 x 27 in. Provenance: By direct descent through successive generations of the Kinsman family and retained outside institutional collections. Deaccessioned by the present heirs. Condition: Relined. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals a few small areas of inpainting appearing limited primarily to the sky. Fine, stable craquelure throughout. Presents well. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $85 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). 16

Lot Number 11

Nathaniel Kinsman Autograph Sea Letter with Hand-Tinted Fanny of Salem Photograph Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An important autograph letter signed by Nathaniel Kinsman (1798–1847), the Salem merchant mariner and later China trader, written aboard the ship Zenobia during an Atlantic crossing between July 3 and July 16, 1839. Addressed to his wife, Rebecca Chase Kinsman, the four-page manuscript retains its original address panel and is accompanied by a framed mid-twentieth-century hand-tinted photographic reproduction of the Fanny of Salem, the vessel commanded by Captain Kinsman after the celebrated marine painting by Michel Felice Corné. Opening, “On board Ship Zenobia at Sea, Lat. 26° N., Long. 44° W., July 3rd, 1839,” the letter serves as both a voyage journal and an intimate family correspondence. Kinsman recounts the Zenobia’s slow progress through light winds, encounters with passing vessels, the difficulty of forwarding mail across the Atlantic, and the improvement of his health at sea. More compelling are the deeply personal passages in which he describes discovering a note Rebecca had hidden inside his Bible before his departure and recalls hearing the imagined voices of his children, Willie and young Rebecca. His reflections on home and family reveal the private emotions behind the commercial world of nineteenth-century American maritime trade. Only four years later, Kinsman entered into partnership with Wetmore & Company and departed with his family for Macao and Canton to establish the firm’s China operations. The correspondence exchanged by Nathaniel and Rebecca in Macao and Canton between 1843 and 1847 is today preserved in the Phillips Library of the Peabody Essex Museum, where it forms one of the most significant surviving family archives documenting the American China Trade. Portions of the Kinsman family papers entered the Essex Institute in 1908, with additional business correspondence donated by descendants in 1952. The present manuscript, however, remained in direct family descent and was never included in those institutional gifts, making it a previously unpublished companion to the archive. Accompanying the manuscript is a hand-tinted photographic reproduction of the Fanny of Salem, inscribed “The Fanny of Salem commanded by Capt. Kinsman.” Produced in the mid-twentieth century after the known watercolor copy by Murdock MacPherson following the original marine painting by Michel Felice Corné, it remained with the family as a visual record of the vessel associated with Nathaniel Kinsman’s early maritime career. Together, the letter and photograph descended through successive generations of the Kinsman family. Their significance is further reinforced by the family’s well-documented place in American China Trade history. Related Kinsman papers are preserved in the Phillips Library of the Peabody Essex Museum, while the companion pair of Lam Qua paintings depicting Nathaniel Kinsman’s residence at Macao were sold at Christie’s London in the Topographical Pictures sale on December 15, 2016, realizing $77,635 (including buyer’s premium), underscoring the enduring historical importance of the Kinsman family’s role in nineteenth-century American commerce with China. Dimensions: Letter (unfolded): 9.75 x 15.75 in. Photograph: 12.25 x 19 in. Framed: 13 x 19.75 in. Provenance: By direct descent through successive generations of the Kinsman family and retained outside institutional collections. Related Kinsman family papers, journals, and correspondence are preserved in the Phillips Library of the Peabody Essex Museum, reflecting family gifts made to the Essex Institute in 1908 and 1952. The present letter and accompanying photograph remained in private family ownership until being deaccessioned by the present heirs. Condition: The letter retains its original folds with scattered toning, handling wear, and minor separations at several fold intersections. Ink remains dark and highly legible throughout. The hand-tinted photograph exhibits light age toning and minor surface wear, housed in an older frame with expected wear consistent with age. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $65 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 12

William J. Stone Declaration of Independence, 1823 or Later Estimate: $10,000 – $15,000 An engraved paper impression of William J. Stone’s celebrated facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, printed 1823 or later from the original copperplate commissioned by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams. In 1820, Adams commissioned Stone to create an exact facsimile of the increasingly fragile engrossed Declaration, preserving the nation’s founding document through one of the most ambitious engraving projects undertaken in early America. Completed in 1823 after three years of work, Stone’s engraving became the definitive nineteenth-century facsimile of the Declaration of Independence and remains one of the most important engravings in the history of the United States. The present example bears the engraved imprint “W.J. STONE SC. WASHN.,” identifying it as an impression printed from Stone’s altered copperplate following completion of the official 1823 vellum edition. Based on its paper and printing characteristics, it is consistent with an early paper impression printed 1823 or later. Unlike the countless lithographic and photomechanical reproductions issued in later generations, this example was printed directly from Stone’s original engraved copperplate commissioned by the United States government to preserve the text of the Declaration of Independence. Although distinct from the exceedingly rare 1823 vellum edition prepared for Congress, paper impressions printed from Stone’s original plate are highly prized by collectors of Americana and occupy an important place in the history of American printing, engraving, and documentary preservation. Offered during the nation’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this impression is a significant historical artifact and a tangible connection to the document that announced the birth of the United States. Few objects better embody the origins of the American Republic or the enduring legacy of its founding ideals. Dimensions: Sheet: 33.5 x 29.25 in. Plate mark: 29.75 x 25.25 in. Framed: 40 x 35 in. Provenance: Parker Lyon Collection; acquired by Greg Martin during the collection’s dispersal; thereafter in the Collection of Al and Carol Cali. Condition: Age toning, scattered staining, creasing, and areas of paper loss, including losses along the edges and within the sheet. Please refer to the online photographs for a complete visual representation of the sheet and its condition. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $250 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 13

Charles Willson Peale (1741–1827), Portrait of John Wayles Eppes, 1819 Estimate: $25,000 – $50,000

Lot Number 13

Charles Willson Peale (1741–1827), Portrait of John Wayles Eppes, 1819 Estimate: $25,000 – $50,000 Oil on canvas portrait depicting John Wayles Eppes (1773–1823), prominent Virginia statesman, member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and later United States Senator. Eppes was the nephew of Thomas Jefferson and married Jefferson’s daughter Maria (“Polly”) Jefferson, placing him within the immediate circle of the Jefferson family and the political leadership of the early American Republic. The portrait is attributed to Charles Willson Peale (1741–1827), among the most important American painters of the Revolutionary and early Federal periods. Peale, famed for his portraits of George Washington and numerous founders, was also a naturalist, museum founder, and a central figure in the artistic culture of the young nation. His Washington visits during the winter of 1818–1819 were undertaken specifically to paint members of Congress and prominent national figures during the closing years of his career. The attribution of the present portrait is supported by documentary evidence. Included with the painting is a November 22, 2000 letter from Dr. Ellen G. Miles, Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, stating that the portrait of John Wayles Eppes is “quite clearly by Philadelphia portrait painter Charles Willson Peale,” noting that the painting exhibits the stylistic hallmarks of Peale’s work in modeling, pose, composition, and attention to detail. The curator further notes that the portrait is referenced in Peale’s letters and diaries and appears in Charles Coleman Sellers’ checklist of Peale’s works as an unlocated portrait painted in Washington in 1819. Supporting documentation from The Selected Papers of Charles Willson Peale and His Family (Yale University Press) further confirms Peale’s presence in Washington during this period and includes diary entries from January 1819 referencing “Mr. Eppes” and describing arrangements for sittings with members of Congress while Peale was painting portraits in the capital. These contemporary references strongly correspond with the historical context in which the present portrait would have been executed. The portrait remained within an extended southern political family network after Eppes’ death. The first recorded owner after the sitter was Thomas Mutter Blount (1802–1880) of Edenton, North Carolina. Blount belonged to the influential Blount political family, whose members—including Congressman Thomas Blount (1759–1812)—were prominent figures in the Democratic-Republican political sphere aligned with Thomas Jefferson. The Blount and Eppes families operated within the same Jeffersonian political and social circles that linked Virginia and North Carolina planter-statesmen in the early nineteenth century. Portraits of notable figures were frequently gifted or retained among allied families within these networks, and the transfer of the portrait from Eppes to the Blount family is consistent with such patterns of exchange among the political elite of the period. The painting subsequently descended through the Blount family line, preserving an unbroken tradition of ownership. Portraits painted by Peale during his Washington visit of 1818–1819 are relatively scarce and represent the final mature phase of one of America’s most important early portraitists. The present work therefore holds significance both as a documented likeness of a Jefferson family member and as part of Peale’s late-career portrait production. Dimensions: 24.25 x 20.25in. Framed 28.75 x 24.75in. Provenance: John Wayles Eppes (1773–1823); Gift or transfer to family friend Thomas Mutter Blount (1802–1880), Edenton, North Carolina; By direct family descent: Alice Knight Blount (1846–1917); Charles Laub Gleason (b. 1874); Florence Sargent Gleason (1907–1996); By descent to the present heir. Condition: The painting presents in stable condition consistent with an early nineteenth-century oil on canvas. Surface examination reveals age-appropriate craquelure and minor wear. A small area of loss at the sitter’s chin has been professionally inpainted by Northern California conservators (treatment cost $150); this restoration is visible under ultraviolet light. The portrait currently displays well with strong clarity in the sitter’s features and composition. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $140 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 14

Federal Mahogany & Giltwood Eagle Mirror, Chapman Family Provenance Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An American Federal mahogany and giltwood wall mirror, New England, circa 1790–1805, retaining an oval cartouche with the initials “M.B.” and accompanied by an exceptional signed family history prepared in 1933 documenting more than a century of ownership by the Bristol, Chapman, and Stocking families. Produced during the first generation of American decorative arts following the Revolution, eagle mirrors became enduring symbols of the new republic after the bald eagle was adopted as the national emblem in 1782. They adorned the homes of merchants, judges, physicians, and civic leaders during the Washington and Jefferson administrations and remain among the most recognizable furnishings of the Federal period. According to the accompanying family history, the mirror was made for Mary Bristol Chapman (1767–1799), daughter of Judge Bristol of New Haven and wife of Dr. Elisha Chapman. The document traces its descent through her son, Simeon Bristol Chapman (1794–1866), and successive generations of the Chapman and Stocking families before passing to the present owner. Equally remarkable, the letter records the mirror’s conservation history, including replacement of the original glass, restoration of portions of the frame, and replacement of the eagle crest long before modern restoration practices were commonplace. Offered during the era of America’s 250th Anniversary, this mirror represents not only an attractive example of Federal craftsmanship but a documented survivor from the nation’s formative years, preserved within the same family for over two centuries. Dimensions: 25 x 51 in., high. Provenance: According to the accompanying signed family history: Mary Bristol Chapman; by descent to Simeon Bristol Chapman; thence through Huldah Ann Beach Chapman, Sarah Chapman Stocking, and Fanny H. Stocking, author of the signed 1933 provenance account; thereafter by direct family descent to the present owner. Condition: Accompanying 1933 family history documents replacement of the mirror plate, replacement eagle crest, repairs to the frame, and restoration of decorative elements around the oval cartouche prior to 1933. Present condition includes age cracks, shrinkage, scattered losses, separations, surface wear, rubbing to gilding, later repairs, and evidence of long-term family use and preservation. The original signed provenance letter accompanies the lot. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Blanket-wrapped delivery within California via Delbert McCrea (831-566-6088). Cross-country shipping via CCC Transport (920-450-5027).

During the late eighteenth century, New York emerged as one of colonial America’s leading cabinetmaking centers, where skilled craftsmen adapted fashionable English Chippendale designs using regional construction techniques and locally available materials. Desks of this form served as both practical writing furniture and symbols of refinement in prosperous homes, reflecting the growing sophistication of the young nation’s merchant class. The desk was acquired during the 1980s by a Sacramento collector from nationally recognized antiques dealers Irvin and Dolores Boyd of Meetinghouse Antiques, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, for $5,650. The Boyds spent more than four decades handling and exhibiting important Queen Anne and Chippendale furniture and were widely respected authorities in the field of early American furniture.

1921 “Lincoln Flag” Commemorative American Flag Flown at the Petersen House Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Large commemorative American flag issued by the Oldroyd Lincoln Memorial Museum and flown on April 27, 1921, from the front window of the Petersen House in Washington, D.C., where President Abraham Lincoln died on April 15, 1865. This example retains its original ink stamp dated APR 27 1921 and is accompanied by an original signed letter from Joe D. Kramer, who recounts the history of the Lincoln Flag program. According to Kramer, the Republican National Committee received forty-eight flags from the museum—one for each state—to be awarded to the Republican Club securing the greatest number of subscriptions to The National Republican. As President of the Independence, Kansas Republican Club, Kramer received the Kansas allotment, which was flown from the Petersen House on April 27, 1921, and sewn by his mother for preservation. In the letter, Kramer describes the flag as “my most prized possession” before writing, “I am passing this flag on to you, knowing that you will care for, preserve it and that you will see that it gets into proper hands before you release it.” Also included is a contemporary handdrawn depiction of the Petersen House titled Where Lincoln Died. A scarce and historically significant commemorative textile with exceptional accompanying documentation establishing an unbroken chain of ownership from the original 1921 recipient.

Mississippi Union Bank Mortgage Appraisal and Enslaved Persons Schedule, Tippah County, Mississippi, 1838 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 A rare pair of original manuscript and printed documents relating to a mortgage appraisal for the Mississippi Union Bank in Tippah County, Mississippi, dated August 28–29, 1838. The appraisal records the property of James Tice, including approximately 165 acres of land, two log cabins, and two enslaved individuals identified by name and value. An accompanying manuscript schedule lists the enslaved man Jack, appraised at $800, and the enslaved woman Phebe at $700, illustrating how enslaved people were legally treated as collateral within the antebellum South. Executed one year after the Panic of 1837—a nationwide financial crisis marked by bank failures, collapsing land values, and restricted credit—the documents record how Southern banks secured loans with both real property and enslaved labor. Today, surviving appraisal records naming enslaved individuals are recognized as important primary sources, preserving the identities of people who might otherwise have been lost to history. Dimensions: Largest sheet 12 x 7.5 in.; framed 17 x 19.5 in. Provenance: A Sonoma, California estate, now being deaccessioned by the current heirs. Condition: Not examined out of frame.

Lot Number 19

Kimbel & Cabus Egyptian Revival Pedestal, New York, circa 1870 Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 A rare and important Egyptian Revival pedestal attributed to the celebrated New York furniture and decorating firm of Kimbel & Cabus (active 1863–1882), among the foremost interpreters of the American Aesthetic Movement during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Executed in ebonized wood with gilt incised decoration and applied classical ornament, the pedestal displays an architectonic tapering form surmounted by a circular top above sculptural Egyptian female bust mounts with tripartite headdresses. The stepped base incorporates stylized sandaled feet and Neo-Grec geometric motifs, combining Egyptian Revival imagery with the refined linear ornament characteristic of the firm’s sophisticated decorative vocabulary. This exact model is illustrated in the Kimbel & Cabus design catalogue preserved at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, firmly establishing the attribution to the maker. The form is further corroborated by a closely related pedestal in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. Kimbel & Cabus embraced the renewed fascination with ancient Egypt that swept Europe and America following the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, incorporating Egyptian-derived motifs into furniture forms intended for fashionable Aesthetic interiors. Their work was prominently exhibited at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition and today remains highly sought after among advanced collectors of nineteenth-century American decorative arts. Surviving examples of this form are exceedingly scarce, with fewer than five examples believed extant. Known examples include the Brooklyn Museum example, another in a prominent San Francisco Bay Area private collection, and the present newly discovered example. Notably, this pedestal appears to be the only presently known example retaining untouched “as found” surface character with substantial original decorative finish and ormolu intact. The present example further differs from the Brooklyn Museum pedestal by its unusually honest, unrestored state, offering valuable insight into the original appearance and surface treatment employed by Kimbel & Cabus during the firm’s Egyptian Revival period. Dimensions: 16.5 in. wide x 16.5 in. deep x 42 in. high. Provenance: Private Collection, Moro Bay, California. Condition: Honest age-appropriate wear consistent with approximately 150 years of use and survival. Surface losses, craquelure, shrinkage cracks, abrasions, and wear to the ebonized finish throughout, particularly to the top surface. Structurally sound overall. Retains its original ormolu and gilt decorative embellishment. An untouched and unrestored example with highly desirable original surface character. Pickup & Shipping: This lot is available for free pickup in Sacramento. For crating and freight delivery we recommend Capital Crating. For blanket wrapped delivery within California, contact Delbert McCrea (831) 566-6088. For cross-country shipping, CCC Transport can be reached at (929) 450-5027.

KPM Berlin Porcelain Plaque, In the Arena (After Jean-Léon Gérôme) Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 A finely executed hand-painted porcelain plaque, attributed to the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM), Berlin, depicting a dramatic Roman arena scene in which a gladiator confronts a lion and tiger before a crowd of spectators gathered within a monumental classical colonnade. The composition is after a celebrated painting by the French Academic master Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), whose vividly rendered scenes of antiquity and spectacle were widely admired and frequently adapted by leading European porcelain manufactories in the late nineteenth century. Founded in 1763 under Frederick the Great, KPM Berlin is renowned for its exceptional porcelain plaques, which were painted by highly trained artists and intended to rival oil paintings in both technical precision and permanence. The present work displays the luminous enamel-like surface and refined painterly quality associated with KPM production, with particular attention to anatomical modeling, architectural depth, and theatrical composition. The reverse bears an impressed scepter mark consistent with KPM Berlin, together with period inventory inscriptions and a German label reading “In der Arena” (“In the Arena”), referencing the subject and suggesting early European handling. Dimensions: 10 in. x 12 1/4 in. Frame: 16 1/4 in. x 18 3/4 in. Provenance: Private collection, Palo Alto, California. Condition: Presents in original condition with no evidence of restoration or conservation under ultraviolet examination. The surface remains well preserved and displays cleanly.

John Jacob Astor IV & Henry B. Ely Estate Archive, 1896–1900 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Historically significant archive documenting the administration of the Astor family fortune during the Gilded Age, preserved by direct family descent from Henry B. Ely, a trusted executor and trustee under the will of William Backhouse Astor. The archive comprises four related documents dating from 1896 to 1900, each retained in Ely’s personal files and collectively chronicling his fiduciary relationship with John Jacob Astor IV. Included is an original twelve-page manuscript agreement dated June 30, 1896, signed in full by John Jacob Astor IV, indemnifying Ely in connection with trust payments made on behalf of the Drayton children under provisions established by the William Astor estate. Accompanying the agreement is a rare autograph memorandum on John Jacob Astor – Estate of William Astor letterhead, dated June 30, 1896, explaining the purpose of the indemnity agreement in Astor’s own hand and signed with his initials. The archive further includes a substantial manuscript Release and Indemnity agreement executed October 23, 1900, signed in full by John Jacob Astor IV and acknowledging Ely’s resignation as executor and trustee following his relocation to Redlands, California, while formally releasing him from liability arising from his administration of numerous Astor trusts. Completing the archive is a contemporary typed memorandum, also dated October 23, 1900, signed by Henry B. Ely and trustee Mynderse Holman, clarifying that the release did not apply to certain unpaid trustee commissions relating to trusts established for members of the Astor, Roosevelt, Van Alen, and Drayton families, as well as matters involving Caroline W. Astor and the James R. Roosevelt Jr. Trust. Together, the documents provide a remarkable window into the private legal and financial administration of one of America’s greatest fortunes at the turn of the twentieth century. More than simply bearing the signature of John Jacob Astor IV—later remembered as the wealthiest passenger lost aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912—the archive documents his active management of the Astor estate and identifies Henry B. Ely as one of the family’s principal fiduciaries during a pivotal period in the history of the Astor financial empire. Preserved intact by direct family descent from Henry B. Ely, the archive represents a remarkably cohesive survival of Gilded Age American legal and financial history, offering an intimate glimpse into the private administration of one of the nation’s greatest fortunes. Dimensions: Largest document approximately 14 x 8.5 in. Provenance: Direct family descent from Henry B. Ely. Condition: Overall very good condition. The documents exhibit expected folds from long-term storage, scattered light toning, and minor edge wear consistent with age. Signatures, manuscript text, and typed text remain bold and highly legible throughout. Original docket wrappers are retained, enhancing the archival integrity and provenance of the group. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $45 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined lot shipping available.

Tiffany & Co. Champlevé Enamel Bronze Mantel Clock Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Founded in New York in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany, Tiffany & Co. became America’s foremost luxury retailer during the nineteenth century, establishing an international reputation for exceptional jewelry, silver, clocks, and decorative arts. By the 1870s, the firm had become the preferred source of luxury goods for America’s industrialists, financiers, and political leaders, importing the finest French bronzes, clocks, porcelains, and objets d’art while helping define the tastes of a rapidly growing class of affluent collectors. This mantel clock reflects the aspirations of the Gilded Age, the period of remarkable economic expansion and cultural refinement that followed the Civil War. Coined by Mark Twain, the term describes an era in which immense fortunes transformed American collecting. The grand residences of families such as the Vanderbilt, Astor, Morgan, and Stanford dynasties were furnished with richly ornamented European decorative arts, many acquired through Tiffany & Co.’s celebrated New York showrooms. The present example combines sculptural bronze figures, vibrant champlevé enamel decoration, and a finely proportioned architectural case characteristic of the French decorative arts embraced by Tiffany during this period. The dial is signed Tiffany & Co., while the brass movement is likewise marked “Tiffany & Co.” and numbered 3753, identifying it as a clock retailed through the firm’s New York establishment. More than a functional timepiece, it represents the craftsmanship, artistry, and international influence that established Tiffany & Co. as one of the defining luxury houses of nineteenth-century America. Dimensions: 14 x 7.75 x 18.5 in., high. Weight: 29 lbs. Provenance: By direct family descent and now being deaccessioned by the Danville, California heir. Condition: Dial signed Tiffany & Co.; movement marked Tiffany & Co., numbered 3753. Includes winding key and pendulum. The movement appears complete but is not currently keeping time. Minor wear, light surface oxidation, and scattered rubbing consistent with age. Champlevé enamel decoration remains largely intact with only minor losses and wear observed. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $135 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Tiffany Studios Colonial Leaded Glass Table Lamp Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Tiffany Studios, New York, Colonial leaded glass table lamp comprising a model 1900 domed geometric leaded glass shade of richly variegated amber, honey, caramel, and opalescent Favrile glass, retaining the impressed “TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1900” signature to the shade rim. The shade is mounted on a patinated bronze standard base. Introduced during the early twentieth century, the Colonial pattern remains among Tiffany Studios’ most enduring geometric lamp designs.

Condition: The shade bears the impressed “TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1900” mark and appears largely intact, with no readily apparent cracked or replaced glass panels. The lead matrix exhibits evidence of professional restoration. The bronze base has been fitted with a later felt covering, obscuring and/or replacing the original base plate where factory marks are typically found. The original cap securing the shade to the base is absent. The bronze surfaces have been overly cleaned, diminishing the original patina. Lamp illuminates when tested. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $165 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Lot Number 24

Large 47-Star American Flag, Celebrating the Completion of the Continental United States, 1912 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Large 47-star American flag commemorating the admission of New Mexico as the forty-seventh state on January 6, 1912. Constructed of cotton bunting with individually appliquéd stars and machine-sewn stripes, the hoist bears the inscription “OAKS–BOGART” together with a separate handwritten owner’s marking. This flag represents one of the most unusual chapters in the evolution of the American flag and the culmination of the nineteenth-century ideal of Manifest Destiny—the belief that the United States was destined to expand across the North American continent. With New Mexico’s admission, followed just thirty-nine days later by Arizona on February 14, 1912, the continental United States was complete, stretching uninterrupted from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. Under the Flag Act of 1818, however, new stars were not added until the following Independence Day, causing the official national flag to advance directly from forty-six to forty-eight stars on July 4, 1912. As a result, 47-star flags were produced only as commemorative examples during this brief interval and never became an official United States flag. By family repute, the flag was originally owned by “Pie Allen,” believed to have served as the mayor of a city in Arizona or New Mexico, suggesting it may have been acquired and briefly flown in celebration of statehood. Rare for both its historical significance and comparatively limited production, the 47-star flag marks the final chapter in the continental expansion of the United States. Dimensions: 92 x 172 in. Provenance: By family repute, originally owned by “Pie Allen,” believed to have served as the mayor of a city in Arizona or New Mexico. The hoist is additionally inscribed “OAKS–BOGART.” Thereafter by family descent and now being deaccessioned by the present heir. Condition: Displays age-related toning, scattered staining, period stitched repairs, minor losses, and scattered holes consistent with outdoor use. Hoist retains handwritten ownership inscriptions. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $65 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined lot shipping available.

Presentation Gold-in-Quartz and 14K Gold Cane Presented to John F. Taylor, San Francisco, 1869 Estimate: $25,000 – $50,000 An extraordinary California Gold Rush-era presentation cane featuring a richly engraved 14K+ gold-mounted handle inset with numerous polished specimens of natural gold-bearing quartz. The spherical knop is mounted with multiple side-set cabochons displaying visible native gold and surmounted by a large octagonal gold-quartz specimen. Engraved panels read: “Presented to John F. Taylor by his San Francisco Friends,” “May 6th 1869,” and “A Token of Esteem.” The handle is mounted on a finely finished hardwood shaft, likely rosewood. The recipient is believed to be John Franklin Taylor (1815–1901), a California pioneer whose autobiographical reminiscences were preserved by the Society of California Pioneers. Archival records associate Taylor with voyages to the Pacific Coast, Northern California mining activity, and pioneer life during the formative decades of California history. The use of native gold-bearing quartz throughout the cane serves as a direct celebration of California’s mining wealth and pioneer heritage, transforming the object into both a personal testimonial and a symbolic artifact of the Gold Rush era. Presentation canes incorporating multiple side-mounted gold-quartz cabochons are widely regarded among collectors as the finest and most elaborate products of the highly skilled jewelers active in San Francisco during the nineteenth century. Produced in very limited numbers for prominent pioneers, mining men, and civic leaders, these exceptional works combined locally sourced gold-bearing quartz with masterful goldsmithing. Approximately ten examples are believed to survive, placing them among the rarest and most desirable forms of California Gold Rush decorative arts. The cane was discovered by Western Americana specialist Brad Witherell in California in 2001 and subsequently entered the collection of noted cane collector Eddie Van Auken, whose holdings included many of the finest historical and presentation canes assembled in the United States. Dimensions: 36 in. long overall; gold handle approximately 1.75 in. diameter; knop approximately 2.75 in. diameter. Provenance: Believed presented to California pioneer John Franklin Taylor (1815–1901) by his San Francisco friends on May 6, 1869. Discovered by Brad Witherell in California in 2001 and subsequently sold to noted cane collector Eddie Van Auken; thence by descent to the present owner. Condition: Gold mounts test 14K+ by XRF analysis. The cane retains its original gold-quartz specimens, all displaying natural gold inclusions. Minor wear and handling marks consistent with age and careful use. Hardwood shaft with expected age-related surface wear. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup.

Gold Rush-Era California Gold Spoon and Vanderslice & Co. San Francisco Gold Shot Glass, 65 grams Estimate: $5,000 – $10,000 An important pair of California Gold Rush-era gold objects comprising a teaspoon testing above 15-karat gold and a Vanderslice & Co., San Francisco shot glass testing above 16-karat gold by XRF analysis. The spoon is marked “…San Francisco,” while the shot glass bears the Vanderslice & Co., San Francisco maker’s mark. Surviving California-made gold domestic wares from the Gold Rush era are among the rarest forms of American decorative arts. Before the widespread availability of Comstock silver, San Francisco jewelers occasionally fashioned luxury tablewares and drinking vessels from native California gold for an affluent clientele. Most were later melted for their intrinsic value, leaving remarkably few survivors. William Keyser Vanderslice (1823–1899), a Philadelphia-trained jeweler who established his San Francisco business in 1858, founded one of the city’s earliest luxury manufacturing firms. Objects bearing the Vanderslice & Co., San Francisco mark reflect the craftsmanship and prosperity of Gold Rush-era California. Dimensions: Spoon: 5.5 in. long; 15 grams; tests above 15-karat gold by XRF analysis. Shot glass: 2 x 2 in.; 50 grams; tests above 16-karat gold by XRF analysis. Provenance: The Al and Carol Cali Collection. Condition: Both pieces retain attractive original surfaces with light wear consistent with age and use. The spoon exhibits minor handling wear, while the shot glass displays light surface scratches from use. Both maker’s marks remain clearly legible. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup.

Dimensions: 35.5 in. long overall; handle approximately 1.25 in. diameter; gold-quartz head approximately 2 in. diameter. Provenance: The estate of noted cane collector Eddie Van Auken.

The substantial double-sided six-link chain features rectangular articulated panels framed with buckle-form overlays, a stylistic motif associated with high-grade San Francisco jewelry of the second half of the nineteenth century. One link incorporates a horseshoe device symbolizing good fortune, reflecting the period fascination with symbolic and talismanic jewelry. Suspended from the chain is a remarkable rotating locket-form fob containing natural placer gold nuggets and crystalline gold specimens beneath convex glass. The fob is further embellished with sculptural lion-head mounts and tubular framing elements, demonstrating the extraordinary level of craftsmanship associated with the finest San Francisco jewelers during the height of California’s mining, railroad, and entrepreneurial prosperity. Gold-in-quartz jewelry was manufactured almost exclusively in California, and pieces of this caliber would have been limited to the very best craftsmen working in San Francisco during the second half of the nineteenth century. Such objects served not only as personal adornment, but as visual declarations of participation in the California Gold Rush and the development of the American West. San Francisco emerged as the center of luxury jewelry production in the western United States during the latter half of the nineteenth century, attracting master jewelers, lapidaries, and goldsmiths from Europe and the eastern United States.

Early 20th Century Murray & Lanman’s Florida Water Advertising Lithograph Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An original early twentieth-century lithographed advertising sign for Murray & Lanman’s Florida Water, prominently featuring the slogan “The Universal Perfume.” Intended for display in pharmacies, druggists, and general mercantile establishments, it exemplifies the refined commercial art of the golden age of American advertising. Introduced in New York City in 1808 by perfumer Robert I. Murray, Florida Water ranks among America’s oldest continuously marketed fragrances. Following David T. Lanman’s entry into the firm in 1835, the business became Murray & Lanman and later reorganized as Lanman & Kemp in 1861. The name “Florida Water” was adopted as a marketing reference to the romanticized legend of Juan Ponce de León’s search for the Fountain of Youth, evoking freshness, rejuvenation, and exoticism rather than the product’s place of origin. Inspired by the classic European eau de Cologne, Florida Water achieved worldwide popularity and remains in production today under its original trademark. We were unable to locate another example of this advertising design during the course of our research. Dimensions: 26.75 x 13 in.; framed 30.75 x 17 in. Provenance: The Estate of Mike Dolcini (1946–2012), Sacramento, California. Widely regarded as one of the foremost Western bottle collectors and excavators of his generation, Dolcini was recognized for his expertise in California Gold Rush-era bottles, Western bitters, and nineteenth-century glass. Over several decades, he also assembled a carefully curated collection of Western advertising with a particular emphasis on Sacramento history. Condition: Not examined outside of the frame. Examination under ultraviolet light revealed no indication of restoration. Approximately nine light creases are visible under close examination, together with a liquid stain in the lower left quadrant extending into the figure’s gown. Despite these imperfections, the sign displays exceptionally well with strong color and visual appeal. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $150 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Executed in 1917, the work captures a quiet moment of Western life, a subject that remained central to Johnson’s career. Among the foremost painters of the American West, Johnson studied at the Art Students League of New York under Robert Henri and William Merritt Chase before traveling throughout the West on assignment for Field & Stream magazine and later illustrating the novels of Zane Grey. Painted during the years in which his reputation as a Western artist was firmly established, Cowboy and Horse reflects Johnson’s authentic portrayal of Western life and helped define the enduring image of the American cowboy in early twentieth-century art. The reverse bears period inscriptions identifying the artist, title, dimensions, and date, together with an original Salmagundi Club auction label. Accompanying correspondence exchanged in 1983 between the owner, Peter H. Hassrick, Director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, and Lois Ash, a relative of the artist, confirms that these materials are consistent with Johnson’s documented sales history and provides important supporting evidence for the painting’s authenticity.

Joseph Henry Sharp (1859–1953), 2A Ranch, Near Parkman, Wyoming – Big Horn Mountains Estimate: $10,000 – $15,000 A Wyoming winter landscape by Joseph Henry Sharp, one of the founding members of the Taos Society of Artists and among the foremost painters of the American West. Executed in oil on paperboard and signed lower right, the work depicts the snow-covered meadows and cottonwoods of the 2A Ranch near Parkman, Wyoming, with the Big Horn Mountains rising beyond. The reverse is inscribed in the artist’s hand, “2A Ranch near Parkman, Wyoming – Big Horn Mts.,” and bears a presentation inscription reading, “Compliments of J.H. Sharp.” The 2A Ranch occupied a special place in Sharp’s career. Beginning with his first visit in 1907, he made regular trips to the ranch near Parkman, Wyoming, at the eastern foot of the Big Horn Mountains overlooking the Little Bighorn River valley, at the invitation of his former Cincinnati art student, Fra Dinwiddie Dana, who had settled there with her husband, rancher Edwin L. Dana. Paintings from the 2A Ranch became a recurring subject in Sharp’s exhibitions over the following decade and are today represented in major institutional collections, including the Stark Museum of Art and the Montana Museum of Art & Culture.

George Demont Otis (1879–1962), Fisher Folks, Pyramid Lake, Nevada, 1933 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on board by George Demont Otis (1879–1962), signed lower right. The reverse is inscribed “Fisher Folks – Pyramid Lake, Nevada, 1933” and bears a George Demont Otis Estate stamp. “Fisher Folks” was a common expression during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, equivalent to the modern term fisherfolk, referring to the people and communities whose lives and livelihoods centered on fishing. Located northeast of Reno within the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation, Pyramid Lake is one of the oldest lakes in North America and among the most iconic landscapes of the Great Basin. For centuries the lake sustained the Northern Paiute people through its abundant fishery, particularly Lahontan cutthroat trout and the endemic cui-ui sucker, while later supporting an important commercial fishing industry. As Nevada remained sparsely populated during the early twentieth century, plein air paintings depicting the state’s distinctive landscapes were produced in comparatively small numbers. This 1933 view represents an uncommon example of Otis’s work beyond California. Dimensions: Board: 9 x 12 in. Frame: 12.75 x 15.75 in. Provenance: George Demont Otis Estate Collection; George Demont Otis Foundation; Aurel Keck Collection; California private collection; now being deaccessioned. Condition: Appears to be in fine original condition. Examination under ultraviolet light revealed no indication of restoration or conservation. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $65 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Gregory Kondos (1923–2021), Spider Rock, Canyon de Chelly, 1999 Estimate: $10,000 – $15,000 Oil on canvas depicting Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, rendered in Kondos’ bold, modernist palette and structured brushwork. The composition centers the vertical rock formation against simplified canyon planes, using bold passages of blues, ochres, and greens to convey monumentality and atmosphere, distilled into Kondos’ characteristic painterly forms. Gregory Kondos, a Sacramento-based painter and longtime professor at California State University, Sacramento, is regarded as one of California’s leading postwar landscape artists. Influenced by early California modernists and Bay Area Figurative painters, his work bridges representation and abstraction. His landscapes of California and the American Southwest are widely collected and held in institutions including the Crocker Art Museum. Signed and dated lower right: “G. Kondos 1999.” Titled, dated, and inscribed verso. Dimensions: 24 x 20 in. Frame: 25.25 x 21 in. Provenance: Private collection, Sacramento, CA Condition: Presents in excellent condition.

William Rickarby Miller (1818–1893) Road Scene – Butternut Trees, Paterson, New Jersey, 1874 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 A watercolor and gouache on paper by William Rickarby Miller (American, born England, 1818–1893), signed and dated lower right, W.R. Miller, 1874. The composition depicts travelers along a wooded country road beneath mature butternut trees, with distant hills and expansive summer clouds rendered in Miller’s characteristic luminous palette and careful naturalistic detail. Born in Staindrop, County Durham, England, Miller immigrated to the United States in 1845 and established himself as one of the foremost American watercolorists of the nineteenth century. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design and earned recognition through the American Art-Union for his finely observed landscapes of New York and the northeastern United States. Although associated with the landscapes of the Hudson River School, Miller’s work is distinguished by its intimate scale, meticulous detail, and quiet narrative quality. A period handwritten inscription preserved on the reverse identifies the work as Road Scene – Butternut Trees, Patterson, N.J., providing valuable documentary evidence linking the watercolor to a specific New Jersey locale. The inscription was retained during later reframing, and the lot is accompanied by a 2019 conservation invoice from Zukor Art Conservation, Oakland, California, documenting professional cleaning and stabilization. Dimensions: Sight: 15¼ x 24¼ in. Frame: 22 x 31 in. Provenance: Private California art collection, now being deaccessioned. Condition: Professionally conserved by Zukor Art Conservation in 2019, including surface cleaning and stabilization. The period inscription on the reverse was retained during reframing.

Lot Number 87

William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) Poplar Lake [Lakeside Park], circa 1886 Estimate: $20,000 – $40,000 Illustrated as L.52 in Ronald G. Pisano’s catalogue raisonné, William Merritt Chase: Landscapes in Oil, this oil on wood panel depicts a tranquil, tree-lined shoreline reflected across still water. Painted circa 1886, the work belongs to an important group of intimate plein-air studies executed during Chase’s celebrated New York period, when he worked directly from nature in Brooklyn’s parks and waterways. Pisano identifies the painting as Poplar Lake [Lakeside Park], one of a series of landscapes Chase produced while exploring the lakes and wooded vistas of Brooklyn during the mid-1880s. Executed with confident, painterly brushwork and a keen sensitivity to changing light and atmosphere, these small panels embody the immediacy that distinguishes Chase’s finest Impressionist landscapes. Research accompanying the present work further suggests the scene likely depicts the area now known as Lakeside within Prospect Park, Brooklyn, consistent with Chase’s documented series of Prospect Park paintings from the same period. Exhibited by the artist at the Brooklyn Art Club in 1886 and included the following year in the historic Chase Sale, the painting represents a well-documented example from one of the artist’s most productive years. Literature: Ronald G. Pisano, completed by Carolyn K. Lane with a chronology by D. Frederick Baker, The Complete Catalogue of Known and Documented Works by William Merritt Chase, 1849–1916, Vol. III: William Merritt Chase: Landscapes in Oil. Yale University Press, New Haven, 2009. Illustrated as L.52, Poplar Lake [Lakeside Park], p. 29. Exhibited: Brooklyn Art Club, Brooklyn, New York, 1886, No. 100 (lent by the artist). Dimensions: 10.5 x 14 in.; framed 16 x 19.5 in.

Condition: Examination under ultraviolet light reveals scattered areas of fluorescence in the upper sky. It is unclear whether these represent minor inpainting or the natural character of the wood panel. The painting presents well overall. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx for $85 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). 98

Lot Number 88

Warren Sheppard (1858–1937) Moonlit Sailing Vessel Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on canvas marine painting by Warren Sheppard (American, 1858–1937), depicting a single sailing vessel beneath a luminous full moon with its reflection stretching across gently rolling water. Sheppard studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before continuing his artistic training in Paris under Jean-Léon Gérôme. He became known for his atmospheric coastal and harbor scenes, particularly moonlit marine subjects that found a broad American audience during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Dimensions: Sight approximately 8 x 10 in.; framed approximately 14 x 16 in. Provenance: Private California collection, now being deaccessioned. Condition: According to a prior professional condition report, the painting was on its original unlined canvas with minor touches of overpaint at the waterline of the boat and lower sail, and a small area of inpainting in the upper left sky.

William Rickarby Miller (1818–1893) Moonlight on the Hudson River, Hoboken, N.J., 1892 Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 An oil on board by William Rickarby Miller (English/American, 1818–1893), signed, dated 1892, and inscribed “N.J.” lower left, depicting a moonlit view of the Hudson River at Hoboken with moored sailing vessels, a solitary figure walking a dog along the shoreline, and the distant skyline beyond. A period handwritten label on the reverse identifies the work as “Moonlight on the Hudson River, Hoboken, N.J.” Born in England, Miller immigrated to the United States in 1845 and established himself as a respected landscape painter, watercolorist, and illustrator. Although he painted many of the same locations as artists of the Hudson River School, his work is distinguished by its intimate scale and careful observation rather than dramatic romanticism. Painted the year before his death, this tranquil moonlit river view reflects the artist’s mature treatment of atmosphere and light. Dimensions: Board 8.13 x 12.13 in.; framed approximately 14 x 18 in. Provenance: Private Collection, Connecticut; Shannon’s Fine Art Auctioneers, Milford, Connecticut, April 26, 2018, Lot 65; private California collection, now being deaccessioned.

The composition depicts a wooded landscape with exposed rock ledges and varied native trees, reflecting Johnson’s careful observation of the New York countryside. Painted in 1874, the work dates to the artist’s mature period, when he was among the leading landscape painters associated with the Hudson River School. The painting retains labels from Berry-Hill Galleries, New York, long recognized as a leading dealer in nineteenth-century American paintings, and is presented in a custom period-style frame by Eli Wilner & Company.

Alexander John Drysdale (1870–1934), Louisiana Bayou Landscape Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Pastel on paper depicting a tranquil Southern bayou at sunset, with still water reflecting a warm sky and moss-draped trees fading into atmospheric distance. A solitary oak anchors the foreground, rendered in Drysdale’s characteristic Tonalist style. Alexander John Drysdale was a New Orleans-based painter closely associated with the Louisiana bayou and coastal landscape. Working primarily in pastel, he developed a distinctive, atmospheric style influenced by Tonalism, emphasizing mood, light, and quiet natural settings over detailed realism. Drysdale’s works are held in major Southern collections and are particularly prized for their poetic evocation of the disappearing rural South in the early 20th century. Signed lower left: “A. J. Drysdale.” Dimensions: 20 x 30 in. Frame: 25.75 x 36 in. Provenance: Private Collection, Mountain View, CA Condition: Appears to be housed in its original frame.

Lot Number 92

Camillo Adriani (1908–1990), Gloucester Harbor Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on canvas harbor scene by American painter Camillo Adriani (1908–1990), depicting a group of schooners and small craft moored in Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts. Signed lower right, the painting captures one of New England’s most celebrated working waterfronts, long regarded as a favorite destination for American marine painters. The quiet harbor, reflected rigging, and distinctive fishing vessels recall Gloucester’s importance as one of the nation’s principal commercial fishing ports during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Born in Italy and active in the United States, Adriani became known for his landscapes, snowscapes, and marine paintings. His work is represented in numerous private collections and is appreciated for its confident handling of atmosphere and natural light. Dimensions: Canvas: 24.5 x 30.5 in. Frame: 30 x 36 in. Provenance: By direct family descent through multiple generations, now being deaccessioned by the present Southern California heir.

Lot Number 93

Virgil Williams (1830–1886), California Bird Hunting Scene, 1873 Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 Oil on canvas depicting a hunter and pointing dog traversing the dry California foothills, the dog working the rocky foreground while the hunter follows with gun in hand. Signed and dated “73 Cal,” identifying the work as a California subject painted in 1873. The tawny grasses and parched terrain evoke the summer-to-fall conditions characteristic of the Northern California landscape. Painted only four years after completion of the transcontinental railroad and twenty-four years after the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill, the work presents a compelling glimpse of the California countryside at a time when large areas remained comparatively undeveloped and wildlife was abundant. The hunter and dog are subordinate to the expansive landscape, giving the scene particular resonance as an early depiction of California sporting life. Williams was an important figure in the development of nineteenth-century California art. The following year, in 1874, he became the first director of the newly established California School of Design in San Francisco, where his teaching influenced succeeding generations of painters, including William Keith and Thomas Hill. California landscapes form a relatively limited portion of Williams’s known work, adding interest to this dated early example. Dimensions: 11 x 15 in.; framed 20.5 x 24 in. Provenance: Property from a Serrano Country Club estate, now being deaccessioned by the trust. Condition: Appears to retain its original canvas. Small area of inpainting visible under ultraviolet light to the rocks immediately above the dog’s nose. Small paint loss at upper right corner. Estate condition. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx for $85 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing).

Norton Bush (1834–1894) California Landscape, 1887 Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 An oil on canvas California landscape by Norton Bush (American, 1834–1894), signed and dated lower right, N. Bush / 1887. Towering conifers frame a quiet forest creek as morning light filters through the mist, exemplifying Bush’s sensitive treatment of the Sierra Nevada landscape. Born in Rochester, New York, Bush studied under Hudson River School painter Jasper Cropsey before settling in San Francisco in 1853. He became one of California’s earliest professional landscape painters and served as Director of the San Francisco Art Association from 1878 to 1880. During the nineteenth century, painters such as Bush documented the largely untouched landscapes of the expanding American West before photography became widely available, creating lasting records of California’s natural scenery. The painting retains its impressive original period giltwood frame. Of particular significance, the frame’s gesso foundation is constructed of California redwood, a timber indigenous to the narrow coastal redwood belt extending from southwestern Oregon into central California. Its use strongly suggests the frame was produced in California and has likely accompanied the painting since its creation. This painting realized $11,950 (including buyer’s premium) at Heritage Auctions on January 24, 2009. Dimensions: Canvas: 36 x 20 in. Frame: 48.5 x 32.5 in. Weight: 34 lbs. Provenance: Private California collection. Sold, Heritage Auctions, January 24, 2009, Lot 67031. Condition: Appears to be in cleaned original condition. Examination under ultraviolet light revealed no detectable inpainting, restoration, or conservation. Retains its original period giltwood frame, which exhibits repairs, scattered losses, and expected age-related wear. Overall, the painting and frame present well.

William Keith (1838–1911), Pastoral Landscape with Shepherd and Flock Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Oil on canvas pastoral landscape by William Keith, depicting a tranquil rural scene at sunset with a shepherd guiding a flock of sheep along a winding path toward a distant homestead. The composition is anchored by a softly glowing horizon, with warm evening light illuminating the fields and subtly silhouetting trees and rolling terrain. The work reflects Keith’s sensitivity to atmosphere and his ability to balance naturalistic detail with tonal harmony. William Keith was one of the leading figures of the California and American landscape tradition in the late 19th century. Born in Scotland and active primarily in San Francisco, Keith became closely associated with the Hudson River School and later the American Tonalist movement. He was deeply influenced by his friendship with naturalist John Muir, whose philosophies on nature and spirituality shaped Keith’s mature work. While Keith is best known for his Yosemite and Sierra Nevada landscapes, he also produced pastoral and European-inspired scenes such as the present work, reflecting his early training and continued engagement with traditional landscape motifs. This painting demonstrates Keith’s transitional style, combining the detailed narrative elements of earlier American landscape painting with the softer tonal qualities that would come to define his later work. The inclusion of figures and livestock adds a narrative dimension, evoking themes of rural life and harmony with nature. Dimensions: 22 x 36in. Provenance: Private Collection, Palo Alto, California Condition: Relined. Examination under black light reveals areas of inpainting to the sky on both the left and right sides, as well as along the bottom edge. There are small areas of paint loss at the lower right and bottom left. Overall, the painting remains stable and presents well. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $525 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). 106

George Demont Otis (1879–1962), Sonoma Coast Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on canvas by noted California Impressionist George Demont Otis (1879–1962), depicting the rugged Sonoma coastline with powerful surf crashing against rocky outcroppings beneath an expansive sky. Executed with broad, confident brushwork and a vibrant palette of blues, greens, and warm earth tones, the composition captures the movement and atmosphere of the Northern California coast that became one of the artist’s most celebrated subjects. Otis studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, Cooper Union, and the National Academy of Design under prominent artists including John F. Carlson and William Merritt Chase before establishing himself as one of California’s leading landscape painters. A dedicated conservationist, he was instrumental in fostering appreciation for California’s natural beauty, and his paintings helped inspire preservation efforts that culminated in the establishment of Point Reyes National Seashore. His works are represented in numerous public and private collections, and he is recognized as an important figure in the development of Western Impressionism. This painting is illustrated in The California Collection (p. 43) and was exhibited at the California State Library, Sacramento (1996–1997), and the Sonoma County Museum, Santa Rosa (1998). Dimensions: Canvas: 28 x 36 in. Frame: 36 x 44 in. Weight: 20 lbs.

George Demont Otis (1879–1962) Verbenas, 1931 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on canvas depicting California’s spring wildflower season, signed and dated lower right, 1931. Inscribed “Verbenas” on the reverse stretcher, the painting portrays a broad inland landscape enlivened by a winding seasonal creek and carpets of native California wild verbena. Blooming from approximately March through June following winter rains, these vibrant displays have long been among the most celebrated features of Southern California’s valleys and desert foothills. George Demont Otis devoted much of his career to recording California’s native landscapes at a time when rapid development was transforming the state. An early advocate for conservation, his paintings helped foster appreciation for California’s natural beauty and contributed to the movement that ultimately led to the preservation of areas such as Point Reyes National Seashore. The painting retains its original redwood stretcher, crafted from a timber native to California’s Pacific coast. Dimensions: Canvas: 22 x 27 in. Frame: 31 x 36 in.

George Demont Otis (1879–1962), Eucalyptus in the Arroyo, Pasadena Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on canvas by George Demont Otis (1879–1962), signed lower right and inscribed on the reverse stretcher, “Eucalyptus in the Arroyo – Pasadena.” Painted with loose, impressionistic brushwork, the composition depicts a stand of eucalyptus trees framing a sunlit arroyo with the San Gabriel Mountains rising in the distance. The identified Pasadena location places the work within one of Southern California’s most celebrated artistic landscapes. During the early twentieth century, the city’s arroyos, eucalyptus groves, and mountain vistas attracted numerous California Impressionists who were drawn to the region’s distinctive light and Mediterranean character. Otis captures these familiar features with a fresh, painterly approach, creating a vibrant view of one of California’s most enduring landscapes. Dimensions: Canvas: 24 x 30 in. Frame: 30 x 36 in. Provenance: George Demont Otis Estate Collection; George Demont Otis Foundation; Aurel Keck Collection; California private collection; now being deaccessioned. Condition: Appears to retain its original canvas. Examination under ultraviolet light revealed no indication of restoration or conservation. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup.

George Demont Otis (1879–1962), Corte Madera Flats Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on board by George Demont Otis (1879–1962), signed lower right and titled “Corte Madera Flats” on the reverse, which also bears the George Demont Otis Estate stamp. The composition overlooks the tidal marshes of Corte Madera in Marin County, where winding waterways, open wetlands, and groves of eucalyptus lead the eye toward the hills beyond. A small cluster of hillside homes suggests the early residential development of this now highly sought-after community. Painted with loose, impressionistic brushwork, the work captures the distinctive character of the San Francisco Bay shoreline, a landscape that attracted many California Impressionists during the first half of the twentieth century. Dimensions: Board: 24 x 29.75 in. Frame: 33 x 39 in.

George Demont Otis (1879–1962), Hallets Creek Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An oil on canvas by George Demont Otis (1879–1962), signed lower right. The reverse bears the artist’s handwritten inscription “G.D. OTIS” on the canvas, a pencil inscription reading “Hallets Creek” on the stretcher, and the George Demont Otis Estate stamp. The title likely refers to Hallett Creek in Lassen County’s Honey Lake Valley, where members of the Hallet family were among the region’s earliest pioneer settlers after arriving in 1862. The spelling preserved on the stretcher appears to reflect a contemporary local usage of the place name. Otis traveled extensively throughout California and the American West in search of landscape subjects, including frequent painting expeditions into neighboring Nevada. His documented 1932 painting Mt. Lassen, published in George Demont Otis: California Impressionist, confirms that he was working in the Lassen region during this period. The winding creek, rocky bluffs, and broad, semi-arid hills depicted here closely correspond with the landscape of northeastern California, lending further support to the identification of the scene as Hallett Creek in the Honey Lake Valley. Dimensions: Canvas: 24 x 30 in. Frame: 31 x 37 in. Provenance: George Demont Otis Estate Collection; George Demont Otis Foundation; Aurel Keck Collection; California private collection; now being deaccessioned. Condition: Appears to retain its original canvas. The painting has likely been cleaned and reframed. Examination under ultraviolet light revealed no indication of restoration or conservation.

Executed in the artist’s characteristic California Impressionist style, the painting depicts a tranquil late-summer landscape with a stand of eucalyptus overlooking open pasture and gently rolling hills. The composition captures the distinctive rural character of Marin and Sonoma Counties, where golden grasslands, native oaks, and eucalyptus groves define much of the North Bay landscape. The reverse bears the handwritten title “End of Summer’s Day.” Dimensions: Canvas: 28 x 36 in. Frame: 35 x 43 in.

Franz A. Bischoff (1864–1929) Carmel Coast Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 An oil on panel depicting the rugged Carmel coastline by Franz A. Bischoff (Austrian/American, 1864–1929), signed lower right. During the first quarter of the twentieth century, the Monterey Peninsula emerged as one of America’s most important artistic destinations. Drawn by its crystalline coastal light, rugged granite headlands, and windswept Monterey cypress, artists including William Ritschel, Armin Hansen, Granville Redmond, Guy Rose, Charles Rollo Peters, and Franz Bischoff made repeated painting excursions to Carmel and nearby Point Lobos, helping define what is now recognized as California Impressionism. Painted directly from nature with broad, confident brushwork and a heightened sensitivity to light and atmosphere, this work embodies the ideals of the plein air movement that transformed California landscape painting during the early twentieth century. Rather than striving for photographic precision, artists sought to capture the fleeting effects of changing light and weather, producing works that conveyed both the appearance and spirit of the landscape. Regional landscapes have long served as visual records of place, preserving the scenery and identity of communities as they evolve. Few locations have become more closely identified with California art than Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula, where generations of painters elevated the region from a picturesque coastal village to an enduring artistic icon. More than a century later, these paintings remain highly regarded not only for their aesthetic qualities but also for their enduring association with one of California’s most celebrated cultural landscapes. Dimensions: Panel: 13 x 19 in. Framed: 15.5 x 21.5 in. Provenance: Private Northern California collection, now being deaccessioned by the owner. Acquired approximately thirty years ago, reportedly through a gallery or dealer in Chico, California. Condition: Appears original with no indication of restoration or conservation under ultraviolet light. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $85 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). 114

William Seltzer Rice (1873–1963), Leona Park Maples Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Signed lower left. A finely executed watercolor depicting a tranquil woodland view in Oakland’s Leona Park, one of William Seltzer Rice’s favored East Bay subjects. Rendered with his characteristic mastery of transparent watercolor, the composition captures the graceful rhythm of maple trunks framing a flowing creek, with luminous autumn foliage receding into the distance. Rice was among California’s foremost watercolorists of the early twentieth century and an influential educator at the California School of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts), where he helped establish the East Bay watercolor tradition. His landscapes are celebrated for their sensitive observation of nature, restrained palette, and refined draftsmanship. The reverse retains the original Kerwin Galleries label identifying the work and title, reflecting its placement with one of Northern California’s leading dealers in historic California art. Dimensions: 11.5 x 15.5 in. sight; frame 24.25 x 28.25 in. Provenance: Acquired by the present owner from Kerwin Galleries, Burlingame, California. Original gallery labels retained on the reverse.

Executed in oil on board and signed lower right, the composition depicts the historic village of Bodega, Sonoma County, centered on St. Teresa of Ávila Church, one of California’s oldest rural churches. The village later gained international recognition as a principal filming location for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 classic The Birds. The reverse retains period inscriptions identifying the subject as Bodega. Born in Leeuwarden, Holland, Botke immigrated to the United States in 1906, studying at the Art Institute of Chicago before relocating to Carmel in 1919. He later established a studio near Santa Paula, California, where he and his wife, artist Jessie Arms Botke, became prominent figures in the state’s artistic community. Botke exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, while his murals remain in the Kellogg Company headquarters in Battle Creek, Michigan, and Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago.

Executed in 1982, this work represents an early example of Kinkade’s career, prior to his widespread commercial success, and reflects a more painterly and subdued tonal approach influenced by traditional American landscape painting. Signed and dated “Kinkade 1982” lower right, the painting demonstrates the artist’s early exploration of light, mood, and narrative composition—elements that would later define his mature style as the “Painter of Light.” The verso retains the original backing with a label reading “Copyright 1982 Thomas Kinkade – All Reproduction Rights Reserved by the Artist” and the handwritten title “The First Snow”, further supporting the dating and authenticity of the work.

Dranga,” this Hawaiian coastal landscape, painted near the artist’s home in Hilo, captures the quiet beauty of Hawaii’s eastern shoreline before the transformation brought by modern tourism. Framed by mature ironwood and banyan trees opening onto the Pacific beyond, the composition exemplifies Dranga’s firsthand documentation of the islands’ natural environment during the first half of the twentieth century. The reverse bears the handwritten title ”Beach Near Hilo” together with the original gallery price notation of ”$50.” Born in Oxford, England, Helen Thomas Dranga (1906–1940) relocated to Hawaii at the turn of the twentieth century and lived in Hilo, where she spent much of her career painting the island’s distinctive landscapes. A member of the Hawaiian Society of Artists, her work is represented in the collections of the Honolulu Museum of Art and the Lyman Museum. Dranga is recognized today as one of the important early female painters of Hawaii, documenting the islands before the advent of large-scale tourism.

The composition depicts a dirt road winding through dense tropical vegetation toward distant mountains, with small figures and chickens animating the foreground. Executed with Hayward’s characteristic vigorous palette-knife technique, with heavily worked passages of impasto defining the palms, foliage, road and brilliant Hawaiian sky.

Maija Peeples-Bright (Latvian/American, b. 1942) Glad You’re Here, 1991 Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 Signed and dated acrylic on canvas, titled Glad You’re Here on the reverse. Painted in 1991, this vibrant composition exemplifies Maija Peeples-Bright’s exuberant visual language, dividing the canvas into distinct fields populated by her characteristic “beasties,” flowering forms, and animated zebra motifs rendered in richly textured impasto. Brilliant color, playful imagery, and densely layered surfaces reflect the inventive spirit of Northern California’s Funk Art movement, where humor, imagination, and expressive surface took precedence over traditional representation. Born in Riga, Latvia, Peeples-Bright immigrated to California as a child and earned her MFA from the University of California, Davis, studying under Robert Arneson, Wayne Thiebaud, and William T. Wiley. She became one of the central artists associated with Adeliza McHugh’s influential Candy Store Gallery in Folsom, joining Robert Arneson, Roy De Forest, David Gilhooly, and Peter VandenBerge in the celebrated “Candy Store Bunch.” Today her work is represented in the collections of the Crocker Art Museum, Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum, and other institutions, and has recently been featured in major museum exhibitions including The Candy Store: Funk, Art, and Other Art with a Kick at the Crocker Art Museum and the 2026 retrospective Life is Just a Bowl of Terriers at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art. Dimensions: Canvas: 24 x 30 in. Framed: 24.5 x 30.5 in. Provenance: Single-owner Sacramento art collection, acquired from Adeliza McHugh at the Candy Store Gallery, Folsom, California, in 1991.

Maija Peeples-Bright (Latvian/American, b. 1942) Rhealy Good, 1991 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Signed and dated acrylic on canvas, titled Rhealy Good on the reverse. Painted in 1991, this intimate composition demonstrates Maija Peeples-Bright’s remarkable ability to distill her exuberant visual language into a smaller format without sacrificing complexity or energy. Individual passages teem with stylized birds, zebras, floral motifs, and the artist’s whimsical “beasties,” each contained within boldly defined color fields enriched by her characteristic impasto. The result is a lively mosaic of pattern and texture that rewards close examination, with new details emerging throughout the composition. Created during the same period as the preceding lot, Rhealy Good reflects the mature style that established Peeples-Bright as one of the defining voices of Northern California’s Funk Art movement. Acquired from Adeliza McHugh’s influential Candy Store Gallery in 1991, the painting dates from a pivotal period in the artist’s career, when her distinctive imagery and richly textured surfaces had become fully realized. In the years since, Peeples-Bright’s work has attracted increasing attention from both museums and private collectors. As important works have become increasingly scarce, sustained collector demand has driven a dramatic reassessment of her market, establishing her among the strongest-performing artists associated with the Sacramento and UC Davis school. Dimensions: Canvas: 9 x 12 in. Framed: 9.5 x 12.5 in. Provenance: Single-owner Sacramento art collection, acquired from Adeliza McHugh at the Candy Store Gallery, Folsom, California, in 1991.

Gregory Kondos (1923–2021), Lake Tahoe, 1986 Estimate: $50,000 – $100,000 Oil on canvas depicting Lake Tahoe beneath an expansive field of Kondos blue, with the distant Sierra shoreline reduced to bold horizontal bands and a solitary sailboat punctuating the still water. Signed and dated “G. Kondos 1986” lower right; titled, signed, and dated on the reverse. Painted in 1986, this exhibition-scale work depicts the view from the deck of the commissioning family’s Beach Drive residence in Tahoe Keys. During a visit to Lake Tahoe, Gregory Kondos photographed the scene before returning to his Sacramento studio, where he transformed it into this monumental composition. Executed during a decade widely regarded as among the strongest of the artist’s career, the painting embodies the qualities collectors most admire in Kondos’s work: luminous “Kondos blue,” simplified forms, bold horizontal structure, and a restrained modern aesthetic that distills the landscape to its essential elements. Lake Tahoe ranks among Kondos’s most sought-after subjects, alongside the Sacramento River, the Delta, and Yosemite. The commissioning family also owned Twin Pines, the celebrated Julia Morgan-designed Lake Tahoe estate, reflecting a long association with the region. Retained by the original family since its completion and offered publicly for the first time, this painting represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fresh-to-market work with documented history. Demand for important paintings from Kondos’s mature period has remained exceptionally strong, highlighted by Witherell’s record-setting 2022 sale of Kondos’s 1989 Levee House for $157,300, underscoring continued collector appreciation for major works from this defining period of his career. Dimensions: 36 x 48 in.; framed 37.5 x 49.5 in. Provenance: Commissioned directly from Gregory Kondos in 1986 for a prominent Sacramento developer and banker. Retained by the original commissioning family since its completion and offered publicly for the first time.

The work is from Warhol’s celebrated $9 portfolio (Feldman & Schellmann II.285–286), issued in 1982 in an edition of 35 numbered impressions, together with 10 artist’s proofs and 2 printer’s proofs. Each impression was produced in a unique combination of colors, making every impression from the edition unique. The present impression features a vibrant yellow ground with nine multicolored dollar signs arranged in a three-by-three grid, one of the defining images from Warhol’s late graphic oeuvre. Created during a period of renewed international acclaim, the series reflects the artist’s enduring fascination with money, celebrity, commerce, and the visual language of American consumer culture. By transforming the ubiquitous dollar sign into a boldly colored Pop icon, Warhol explored the increasingly blurred boundaries between art, commerce, celebrity, and wealth that defined late twentieth-century American culture. This impression is further distinguished by an unusually complete provenance archive, including the original Martin Lawrence Galleries sales invoice, Martin Lawrence Limited Editions Certificate of Authenticity, California Certificate of Tirage, gallery inventory labels, and original gallery framing documentation. Martin Lawrence Galleries was one of the leading distributors of Andy Warhol’s graphic work during the 1980s, and the survival of this documentation provides an exceptional and uninterrupted ownership history dating to the work’s original retail sale on February 12, 1989. Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, Warhol’s master printer and longtime collaborator, the edition is among the artist’s most significant late graphic editions.

Babe Ruth Single-Signed Baseball, PSA/DNA Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Baseball signed by baseball legend Babe Ruth (1895–1948), one of the most celebrated figures in the history of American sports, and accompanied by a PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity (Certification No. AS01929). The signature remains legible despite expected age-related fading and is preserved on a well-used period baseball displaying an attractive patina. According to the consignor, the baseball was acquired by the owner’s great-aunt while serving as a nurse at a New York City hospital during Babe Ruth’s hospitalization. She later presented the signed baseball to the consignor’s grandfather, and it has remained in the family ever since. Recently submitted for third-party authentication through Witherell, the baseball is now accompanied by its PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity, offering both compelling family provenance and independent authentication. Dimensions: Approx. 2.9 in. diameter Provenance: By family descent. According to the consignor, the baseball was acquired by the owner’s great-aunt while serving as a nurse at a New York City hospital during Babe Ruth’s hospitalization. She later presented the signed baseball to the consignor’s grandfather, and it has remained in the family ever since. The baseball was recently submitted for third-party authentication through Witherell and is accompanied by a PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity (Certification No. AS01929).

1927 Barnstorming Tour Photograph of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, Marysville, California Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Original Henry Sackrider photograph documenting Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig during their celebrated 1927 postseason barnstorming tour, pictured with local Marysville resident Jack Fredericks. The photograph commemorates the Yankees’ appearance in Marysville following the legendary 1927 season, when local businessmen reportedly raised $1,000 to secure a stop on the tour, making Marysville the smallest city to host the exhibition. Before approximately 2,000 spectators at Municipal Ball Park, Ruth homered, Gehrig tripled, and the “Bustin’ Babes” defeated the “Larrupin’ Lous” by a score of 9–7. The photograph bears the signature of Marysville photographer Henry Sackrider and the names identifying Ruth, Fredericks, and Gehrig appear to have been inscribed by Sackrider, consistent with Northern California studio practices of the period. The blank reverse lacks newspaper or wire service markings, suggesting this is an original Sackrider studio photograph produced for local distribution rather than a later press reproduction. No other examples of this image have been identified during our research. Dimensions: 13.5 x 10 in. Provenance: The Phillips Collection of Boxing and Baseball. Condition: Fair to good overall. Age toning throughout with scattered handling wear, minor edge creasing, and small surface blemishes consistent with age. The reverse retains remnants of old mounting tape and adhesive at the corners. Overall contrast remains good. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup.

1930s Multi-Signed Baseball Glove with Honus Wagner, Joe DiMaggio, Pie Traynor & Other Hall of Famers Estimate: $10,000 – $20,000 An extraordinary 1930s baseball relic consisting of a Pie Traynor model youth left-handed fielder’s glove bearing 23 authenticated signatures of Baseball Hall of Famers and major league stars, accompanied by its original custom cherrywood presentation case hand-carved with a likeness of Honus Wagner. Beckett Authentication Services has authenticated the glove and its signatures, including Honus Wagner, Joe DiMaggio, Dom DiMaggio (twice), Pie Traynor, Joe Gordon, Charlie Berry, Lena Blackburne, Eddie Carnett, Lou Stringer, Benny McCoy, and others. The signatures of Joe E. Brown, Dizzy Dean, Gene Lillard, Connie Mack, Gus Mancuso, and Arnold Statz are noted by Beckett as completely or partially enhanced in an unknown hand. Family history relates that the glove was signed during Pacific Coast League exhibition games at Los Angeles’ Wrigley Field between approximately 1934 and 1936, when major league clubs and PCL teams regularly played before enthusiastic West Coast crowds. According to the family, the young owner’s father presented the glove to players before games, with several—including Dizzy Dean—adding whimsical caricatures alongside their signatures. Following the collecting adventure, the boy’s grandfather crafted the accompanying cherrywood display case, hand-carving a portrait of Honus Wagner on the lid. The glove has reportedly remained preserved in that custom case for nearly ninety years, creating a remarkable and highly personal survival from baseball’s Golden Age. Dimensions: Case: 11.25 x 11.25 x 5 in., high. Provenance: Acquired by the consignor’s father as a young boy during Pacific Coast League exhibition games at Los Angeles’ Wrigley Field in the mid-1930s, where major league stars signed his personal Pie Traynor youth glove. Preserved thereafter in a custom cherrywood presentation case handcrafted by the consignor’s grandfather and retained by the family for nearly ninety years before the present deaccession. Condition: Overall very good for its age. The glove exhibits expected use, age, and handling wear consistent with a game-used youth glove of the period. Signatures remain largely legible, with some expected fading and areas of enhancement as detailed in the accompanying Beckett Letter of Authenticity. The custom cherrywood presentation case displays light wear from age and careful long-term storage. Accompanied by Beckett Letter of Authenticity No. AE35806 and the family’s written history documenting the glove’s acquisition and preservation. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $65 plus 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined lot shipping available. 160

One of the landmark titles of the Golden Age of American comics, the series helped establish Disney comic books as a cultural phenomenon and is particularly celebrated for the early work of legendary cartoonist Carl Barks (1901–2000), whose stories fundamentally shaped the personalities and adventures of Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and the broader Duck Universe. Among the numerous highlights are Issue #1, the debut of the long-running series; #31, featuring the first Donald Duck story written and illustrated by Carl Barks; #34 and #52, introducing Neighbor Jones; #88, the first appearance of Gladstone Gander; #89, the first appearance of Chip and Dale in the title; and Issues #101–106, featuring the first Phantom Blot storyline.

Complete Golden Age runs of this scope are seldom encountered, particularly when preserved intact over many decades. Dimensions: Standard comic book size (approximately 10 × 7 in. each).

Limbaugh (1938–2023), distinguished historian at the University of the Pacific, where he served as Director of the Holt-Atherton Pacific Center for Western Studies and Director of the John Muir Center for Regional Studies.

Lot of (47) 1940 Gum Inc. Superman Trading Cards, Four PSA Graded Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 Collection of forty-seven (47) original 1940 Gum Inc. Superman trading cards, comprising card numbers 25–63 and 65–72, with no duplicates. All but one of the high-numbered cards are present. The key card, #72 “Superman vs. Torpedo,” is included and professionally graded PSA 2.5 (Good+). Also included are #54 PSA 4 (VG-EX), #55 PSA 5.5 (EX+), and #57 PSA 5 (EX). Issued by Gum Inc. of Philadelphia in 1940, this landmark 72-card series is widely regarded as the first Superman trading card set and one of the most important non-sport trading card issues ever produced. Released just two years after Action Comics #1 (1938), the set chronicles Superman’s earliest adventures and helped establish the character’s enduring popularity. The high-numbered cards were printed in smaller quantities and typically saw heavier handling by young collectors. Card #72, “Superman vs. Torpedo,” is among the key cards in the series and is seldom encountered in higher grades, owing in part to its position as the final card in the set, where it often received the greatest wear from repeated handling. Dimensions: Standard trading card size, approximately 2½ x 3 inches each. Provenance: Recently purchased at an estate sale in Folsom, California. Condition: Card #54 is graded PSA 4 (VG-EX); #55 is graded PSA 5.5 (EX+); #57 is graded PSA 5 (EX); and #72 is graded PSA 2.5 (Good+).

Star Wars: Revenge of the Jedi One-Sheet Movie Poster, 1982 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 Original U.S. one-sheet teaser poster for Star Wars: Revenge of the Jedi, the working title for the third film in the original Star Wars trilogy, ultimately released in 1983 as Return of the Jedi. Featuring Drew Struzan’s dramatic composition of Darth Vader looming above the lightsaber duel between Luke Skywalker and Vader. The Revenge of the Jedi campaign was abandoned shortly before the film’s release after George Lucas determined that “revenge” was inconsistent with the philosophy of the Jedi, and the title was changed to Return of the Jedi. Posters bearing the earlier title had already been produced and distributed, making original examples an important artifact of the film’s production and marketing history. This example is the desirable rolled, never-folded issue. Examined and authenticated, with characteristics consistent with original examples, including the correct approximately 27 x 41 in. dimensions; sharply defined blue 20th Century Fox logo with dark black surrounding field at lower right; and clearly rendered detail to Darth Vader’s chest piece. These details are useful in distinguishing period originals from later reproductions. Dimensions: 41 x 27 in. Condition: Good/Very Good. Never folded and retained rolled. Minor rubbing along the edges with two approximately 1/8 in. areas of wear at the lower left and lower right corners. Surface remains bright and glossy with strong original coloration. Scattered foxing to the upper center quadrant of the verso only; recto remains bright and presents well. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup.

French Royalist Carved System Cane, circa 1827 Estimate: $1,000 – $2,500 An extraordinary French carved fruitwood system cane created circa 1827 as a Royalist tribute to the Bourbon Restoration and the posthumous legacy of Henri, Duc de Bordeaux, the “Miracle Child,” whose birth preserved the senior Bourbon line following the assassination of his father, Charles Ferdinand, Duc de Berry, in 1820. Conceived as both a work of devotional art and a political statement, the cane is richly carved with the royal arms of France, the insignia of the Order of the Holy Spirit, the Sacred Heart, fleurs-de-lis, military trophies, and allegorical symbols celebrating the union of throne and altar.

Accompanied by extensive French research, the cane has been attributed to a professional sculptor working about 1827 and represents an exceptional combination of virtuoso carving, mechanical ingenuity, and Bourbon Restoration iconography. Among French system canes, few examples display such a sophisticated narrative program or survive with comparable documentation.

Scottish Silver-Mounted Ram’s Head Snuff Mull, Wilson & Sharp, Edinburgh Estimate: $2,500 – $5,000 Scottish Highland ram’s head snuff mull with finely engraved silver mounts hallmarked Edinburgh, bearing the maker’s mark of Wilson & Sharp. Founded in Edinburgh in 1898 by Robert Wilson and Andrew Sharp, the firm became one of Scotland’s foremost silversmiths, renowned for finely crafted Highland Revival silver, including quaichs, tea services, caddy spoons, and other traditional Scottish presentation pieces. Their maker’s mark was registered with the Edinburgh Assay Office in 1901. Snuff mulls served as both practical containers and ceremonial objects, storing powdered tobacco for communal sharing. They occupied a central role in Highland hospitality, where the offering of snuff was a customary gesture during social gatherings, hunting parties, and estate life. This example retains its original suite of suspended implements—including a mallet, rake, spoon, pick, and rabbit’s foot brush—used to prepare, loosen, portion, and clean the snuff. The unusually large taxidermied ram’s head reflects the Highlands’ close association with sheep farming, deer stalking, sporting estates, and pastoral life, while the richly engraved Celtic knotwork, thistle ornament, and faceted hardstone finials embody the Highland Revival style that celebrated Scotland’s cultural heritage during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mounted on concealed casters, the mull could be easily passed among guests during formal gatherings. XRF analysis indicates the silver mounts test approximately 94% silver, consistent with sterling-grade silver. Dimensions: 21 x 22 x 15.5 in. high.
