Later in his life Bristow represented Essex and Middlesex counties as a delegate to Virginia's Constitutional Convention in 1901-1902. The main purpose of the convention was to establish Jim Crow laws to take the right to vote away from Black and economically disadvantaged Virginians while trying to circumvent the 14th and 15th amendments.  During his Constitutional Convention campaign, he shared his opinions in the May 3, 1901 issue of the Southside Sentinel writing: "I have taken the oath of allegiance to support the constitution of the United States and do not propose to evade its requirements. Therefore I cannot vote to disenfranchise a Black man because he is Black. If elected I shall do my whole duty as sacredly to represent the humblest citizen of the commonwealth as that of her most honored official servants. As we are to have a new constitution may all good people hope and pray that it may be born in the light of the gospel of Christ and we and our children will never be ashamed of it." The Jim Crow laws were approved at a 67 to 28 vote. Bristow was one of the 28 who opposed. See Encyclopedia Virginia's article on Bristow for a more in-depth biography.

Catalogue Note: James Neil McKericher (1840-1913) immigrated to America from Scotland in either 1859 or 1865 settling in Winchester, Virginia where he married local resident Ann Virginia Affleck in 1866. His early years were spent in Winchester working as a photographer at his Main (Loudoun) St. studio, but by 1880 his residence is listed as Battletown (now Berryville) in neighboring Clarke Co., VA. In 1913 McKericher dies in Washington DC, where he'd been living since at least 1900, but he was returned to be interred in Winchester's Mount Hebron Cemetery. Several of his photographs are in the collection of the Winchester-Frederick County Historical Society, accession numbers: 69-1625, 69-1627, 166-06. The identity of the sitter is sadly still unknown, but there were a number of prosperous Black families in Winchester around 1870. One of the most notable was the Evans family who owned and operated the public transportation system for the city, and it's possible that this lady is related to this rather large family. Later generations would operate the Evans Hotel, a long-running African-American hotel through several decades of the 20th century.

Catalogue Note: This portrait was lent by "The Misses Boykin" to The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for a 1941 exhibition, the catalogue from the exhibition spuriously attributes the work to English artist Richard Cosway (1742-1821) with the incorrect assumption the Miss Burton was born in England. Anna Burton George (1808-1855) was born in Richmond to Robert Burton and Anna Pitfield (Braddock/Braddick) Burton (later Brown).

Sully / Miniature & Fancy Painter / Richmond." with "1789" written in pencil beneath, the label has a printed bead detail around the outer edge and is crowned by a printed urn and garland motif which is partially cut-off at the top implying that it may be a label for something larger that the artist cut down for this purpose. Housed in the likely original yellow gold frame that tested between 14K and 18K gold fineness, possibly made by Richmond silver and goldsmith William Richardson. Circa 1795. 2 5/8" x 2 1/4" OA. Catalogue Note: Born in Ireland, Lawrence Sully (1769-1803) immigrated with his family to the United States in 1792, establishing himself in the nascent, growing city of Richmond. The elder brother of fellow portraitist, Thomas Sully, the two worked in Richmond and Norfolk through the end of the 18th century, until Lawrence was supposedly mortally wounded in a brawl in 1803. Thomas later married his brother's widow and provided for his children. The light/allegorical subject matter of this miniature is something scholars have attributed to Lawrence Sully's early works, and very few, if any, other nudes are known in his oeuvre. Another interesting component of this piece is the label which appears to advertise Sully's offerings. It's likely that this piece was not commissioned as so many of his known works are, but rather a piece that was made for retail. The name of the subject is unknown, and she may be after another work of art, or possibly an invention of the artist.

Catalogue Note: This portrait was lent by "The Misses Boykin" to The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for a 1941 exhibition, the catalogue from the exhibition attributes the work to Lawrence Sully.

Lot: 2399 - WILLIAM CHARLES ANTHONY FRERICHS (DUTCH / AMERICAN, 1829-1905) NORTH CAROLINA LANDSCAPE PAINTING

WILLIAM CHARLES ANTHONY FRERICHS (DUTCH / AMERICAN, 1829-1905) NORTH CAROLINA LANDSCAPE PAINTING, oil on canvas, depicting the joining of two rivers with dramatic waterfalls and rapids moving over rocks, a fisherman can be seen in the foreground drawing back his fly rod. Initialed "WF" along the bottom edge. Housed in the likely original period gilt gesso frame. Third quarter 19th century. 29 1/4" x 45 1/4" sight, 41" x 56" OA. Catalogue Note: Born in Ghent, Netherlands, William Charles Anthony Frerichs (1829-1905) studied art from a young age at The Hague before emigrating to New York in 1850. By 1854 Frerichs moved to North Carolina accepting a job as professor of arts and languages at Greensboro Female College (now Greensboro College). During his time in North Carolina, he painted numerous depictions of the Sauratown Mountains and the area around the popular Piedmont Springs spa. Many of his works feature an area called Tamahaka in Cherokee Co., the majority featuring waterfalls in this region, but there's some conflicting information regarding whether or not this was a semi-fanciful region invented by Frerichs or whether it was a real place which is now flooded by Fontana Lake. Many stories, which are probably embellished, detail harrowing plots of Frerichs's treacherous journeys into the mountains to paint including one instance where Native Americans stole his painting equipment and he had to bargain with them to get it back. Tragedy struck in 1863 when Frerichs's studio burned in a fire at Greensboro College. Around the same time, he was conscripted by the Confederate Army to serve as a civil engineer near the Sauratown Mountains and evidently was captured by Union Troops on at least three occasions. He and his family then moved to eastern North Carolina briefly, taking care during their journey to avoid run-ins with the Confederate and Union armies by taking irregular routes. After a failed farming endeavor at their new home, the family returned to New York by 1865. Frerichs remained in New York for the remainder of his life, and it's thought that many of his North Carolina scenes are painted during this time from sketches and memory of his life there.

Lot: 2400 - ARTHUR FITZWILLIAM TAIT (BRITISH-AMERICAN, 1819-1905) PORTRAIT OF DEER IN A LANDSCAPE

ARTHUR FITZWILLIAM TAIT (BRITISH-AMERICAN, 1819-1905) PORTRAIT OF DEER IN A LANDSCAPE, oil on board, featuring a majestic standing stag with a reclining doe behind him and mountainous terrain beyond, signed and inscribed lower right "A. F. Tait / N. Y. 1864", also bearing period inscription verso "No. 304 / A. F. Tait / Morrisania / Westchester Co., N.Y. / March 186[?] / N.Y. Fair for U.S. Sanitary Com." as well as an early label giving the title for the present work as "The Monarch". Housed under glass in possibly original frame. Dated 1864. 9 1/2" x 11 1/2" sight, 12 1/2" x 14 1/2" OA. Catalogue Note: Born near Liverpool, England, Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait (1819-1905) immigrated to the United States in 1850. Largely self-taught, Tait primarily learned by studying the works of others in museums and collections. Always drawn to nature, he established early on a camp in the Adirondacks as a base for painting excursions and would remain a resident of New York State thereafter. Tait exhibited regularly in major venues and was extremely popular in his lifetime. To wit, his work depicting animals and sporting subject matter was frequently reproduced by the prolific printmakers, Currier and Ives.  The present painting is particularly interesting given its association with the United States Sanitary Commission and the conclusion of the Civil War, a pivotal moment in the nation's history. Given the artist's inscription verso, it appears that the present work was an entry in one of the many exhibitions held in New York City in the spring of 1864 under the sponsorship of the U.S. Sanitary Commission. Known collectively as the Metropolitan Fair, the event brought together artists, merchants, and performers in an effort to raise funds for disabled Civil War veterans. Hugely successful, the Fair brought in over 1.3 million dollars over a three-week span. Recently discovered and completely fresh to the market, the present painting is a classic example of the artist's work, executed in his prime, that bears additional historical significance.

A January 16, 1953 newspaper article from the Richmond News Leader discussing a recent discovery of many unframed canvases in a Richmond attic is included with the lot, and described in more detail below in the Catalogue Note. Dated 1891. 25 1/2" x 18 1/2" sight, 31 1/4" x 23 1/4" OA. Catalogue Note: Born in Buffalo, New York, John A. Mooney (1843-1918) traveled to Georgia to enlist in the Confederate Army at the outbreak of the Civil War. After the cessation of hostilities, he remained in the South and began painting professionally in earnest. He is know to have painted scenes in Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, DC. He died of tuberculosis in a Richmond, VA almshouse in 1918. In the summer of 1952, a large number of Mooney's paintings were discovered in the attic of the Valentine house at 12 East Franklin St. by Richmond artist David Silvette (1909-1992) after Mrs. Norman V. Valentine mentioned that she was aware of "some old paintings" in her attic. Evidently the paintings were placed in the attic shortly after the artist's death when Granville Valentine paid for Mooney's body to be interred in the Confederate Soldiers' section of Hollywood Cemetery as opposed to "Potter's Field" near the poor house. In 1953, after these paintings were rediscovered, the Valentine Museum had an exhibition of his works, in which this piece was possibly included. Pictured in the article appears to be one of Mooney's pieces sold through our firm (Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates, 12/2/2023, lot 2372).

Housed in the likely original gilt Newcomb-Macklin style gilt frame. Third quarter 20th century. 10 1/2" x 15 1/2" sight, 14 1/2" x 19 1/2" OA. Catalogue Note: Born in New York City, Eliot Candee Clark (1883-1980) traveled extensively in his youth, but eventually settled in Albemarle County, Virginia, where he spent a good deal of the latter period of his life. His father, Walter Clark (1848-1917), was an accomplished landscape painter in his own right, who had studied with George Inness, and the young Eliot would often accompany his father on painting expeditions along the East Coast with fellow artists such as John Henry Twatchman and Edward Potthast. Clark pursued formal study at the Art Students League in New York City and in 1904 left for Europe to continue his training. In Europe, he traveled widely and was exposed to a number of locations, styles, and influences, most notably Monet at Giverny. After a brief period on the East Coast following his return to the United States, Clark ventured to the American West, where he painted scenes in Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Wyoming. In the 1920s he lived and worked in Kent, Connecticut, and eventually made his way to Albemarle County, Virginia in 1932. Between trips to New York City and the Far East, Clark continued in his career as an artist and teacher, making Virginia his permanent home after 1959. A member of the National Academy for over forty years, Clark served as President of the institution for two years. He also taught courses at the University of Virginia and even served on the Board Of Visitors at the university. Widely admired, Clark exhibited a great deal during his life, receiving numerous awards and accolades as well. His work is today included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the National Academy of Design, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Dayton Museum of Art, among others.

Possibly made at Virginia Craftsman in Harrisonburg or the Shenandoah Community Workers, Bird Haven, Shenandoah Co. Both firms were producing this type of furniture based on earlier "Colonial" styles. The Shenandoah Community Workers were founded in the early 1920s by William Bernard Clark. The organization was started, in part, to provide paid work to the economically disadvantaged local community. Near Basye, VA, at the base of the Allegheny Mountains, the Clark family named this area Bird Haven. Their production began primarily with puzzles, toys, and games for children, but they expanded production to include furniture, hooked rugs, metal objects, and many other domestic articles. Many of their products were sold through mail-order brochures, and at some point, a post office branch was established on the grounds to accommodate the volume of products being mailed out. A retail shop in the community also existed, and it's thought that many of the larger pieces of furniture were sold there. Research into the operation of Bird Haven and the pieces produced there is ongoing.

The interior of the case with numerous yellow pine glue blocks on the interior of the front corners. Poplar, walnut, and yellow pine secondary woods. Retains period weights, winding key, a likely replaced period pendulum, and an old refinished surface with warm color. Multiple pencil inscriptions and repairmen's notes to the interior are retained with some dating to the mid 19th century with others as recent as the 21st century. Probably a follower of or cabinetmaker in the circle of the shop of Joshua Newbrough (1771-1847) and Job Smith Hendricks (1787-1846). Circa 1815. 97 3/4" HOA, 19 3/4" WOA, 10 1/2" DOA. Literature: See Patricia Long-Jarvis - A Southern Backcountry Mystery: Uncovering the Identity of a Northern Shenandoah Valley Cabinetmaking Shop, pp. 63-68 for a discussion of Winchester, VA clock cases and p. 119, figs. 71-76 for a very similar tall-case clock.

Lot: 2421 - STIREWALT FAMILY, ATTRIBUTED, NEW MARKET, SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA PAINT-DECORATED YELLOW PINE BLANKET CHEST

STIREWALT FAMILY, ATTRIBUTED, NEW MARKET, SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA PAINT-DECORATED YELLOW PINE BLANKET CHEST, the hinged lid with applied edge molding over a dovetailed case with applied base molding, interior with lidded till, all raised on turned feet mortised through the underside of the bottom board, retaining a mid 20th century Luray, Virginia printed shipping label to back and original polychrome surface featuring stenciled leaf devices flanking a stylized urn against a green / blue ground. Circa 1850. 18 1/2" H, 40 1/2" W, 14" D.  Literature: See Moore and Goodman - "The Stirewalt Group: Painted Boxes and Miniature Chests from Shenandoah Co., Virginia", The Magazine Antiques, September 2007, pp. 76-83 for a discussion of this distinctive regional group. Catalogue Note: Recently discovered, the present blanket chest shares a number of construction and design features with the highly-desirable Stirewalt Family-attributed group of boxes likely produced in New Market, Virginia in the second quarter of the 19th century. As is typically the case with the Stirewalt examples, the present chest is constructed of yellow pine, bears undersized hinges (in this case iron), employs a stenciled decorative scheme, and rests on ring-turned feet mortised through the underside of the case. The present chest does, however, exhibit stenciled devices that are slightly different from those used on recorded Stirewalt examples, and may represent an entirely new hand (or sets of hands) working in the same style and likely in the same area of the Shenandoah Valley. Research is ongoing.

Lot: 2422 - SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA FEDERAL BUTTERNUT / WHITE WALNUT BLOCK-FRONT CHILD'S CHEST OF DRAWERS

SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA FEDERAL BUTTERNUT / WHITE WALNUT BLOCK-FRONT CHILD'S CHEST OF DRAWERS, the rectangular top with a flat front profile and beveled end profile over four dovetailed full-length lipped drawers, each with the original brass knobs, lock, and inlaid modified-kite escutcheon, the whole of the front with a serpentine/block-front profile, flanked by solid ends with cut-out double-arch skirts, the front skirt with a serpentine profile conforming with the chest's front. Yellow pine and tulip/yellow poplar secondary woods. Two drawers have "1822" written/painted on the interior of the back board. Retains a later finished surface. Possibly Rockingham Co., VA. First quarter 19th century. 23" HOA, 23" WOA, 12 1/4" DOA. Catalogue Note: Serpentine/block front furniture is extremely rare in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Several construction and design elements of this interesting little chest suggest it was built by a house joiner rather than a cabinetmaker. Foremost is the case's dado-and-rabbet joint construction. In addition, the drawer construction supports this theory, including its rather crude, oversized dovetails, the fronts being cut out of the solid, and the bottoms nailed directly to the sides and back.

Lot: 2423 - FREDERICK CO., SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA, WALNUT CORNER CUPBOARD

FREDERICK CO., SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA, WALNUT CORNER CUPBOARD, single-piece form, the overhanging cove-molded cornice over a single 12-pane hinged cabinet door concealing three shelves, and two fielded-panel cabinet door concealing a single door, the whole raised on cut-out feet which issue from the stiles and the returns.

Lot: 2424 - STAUNTON, AUGUSTA CO., SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA WALNUT PEMBROKE / BREAKFAST TABLE WITH ARCHIBALD STUART ASSOCIATION

STAUNTON, AUGUSTA CO., SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA WALNUT PEMBROKE / BREAKFAST TABLE WITH ARCHIBALD STUART ASSOCIATION, the rectangular top supporting two hinged leaves over a plain apron with pull-out lopers with wooden knobs to support the leaves, the whole resting on straight square legs with chamfered inner edges. Yellow pine secondary wood. Retains a stellar early, probably original finished surface. The top with small initials carved into the leaf reading possibly "RSB". Possibly the circle/shop of Gideon Morgan (1751-1830), Staunton, VA (MESDA craftsman #45750). Late 18th century. 28 1/4" HOA, 29 3/4" x 18" top closed, 29 3/4" x 32" top open. Catalogue Note: According to family history as conveyed by the consignor, this piece had been a fixture in the Archibald Stuart House (built in 1791) for generations, most recently residing in the small dependency built in 1793 which Judge Archibald Stuart used as his law office.

Lot: 2425 - NORTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA CHIPPENDALE FIGURED CHERRY SECRETARY / DESK AND BOOKCASE

NORTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA CHIPPENDALE FIGURED CHERRY SECRETARY / DESK AND BOOKCASE, two-piece form, the upper bookcase with a well-proportioned overhanging cove-molded cornice over two fielded-panel hinged cabinet doors concealing original adjustable shelves; the lower case with a hinged slant front concealing a fitted interior with central prospect door with expressive graining and cubbies with cut-out valances, above four graduated cock-beaded drawers, the whole raised on outwardly-splaying French feet which flank a cut-out skirt. Poplar secondary wood. Retains replaced brasses with Federal eagle design, and an old refinished surface which displays the grain of the cherry very well. Possibly Martinsburg, VA (now WV). Early 19th century. 92" HOA, 45 3/4" WOA, 22 3/4" DOA.

Lot: 2426 - SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA PAINTED YELLOW PINE JELLY CUPBOARD

SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA PAINTED YELLOW PINE JELLY CUPBOARD, the rectangular top with canted front corners over two fielded-panel cabinet doors which conceal two fixed shelves, the whole flanked by chamfered corners and paneled ends, and raised on slightly-tapered legs which issue from the stile. Yellow pine secondary wood. Retains early, probably original turnbuckles, and an old green-painted surface over the original Spanish brown. Second quarter 19th century. 47 1/2" HOA, 39 1/2" WOA, 17 3/4" DOA.

Lot: 2427 - FRANKLIN CO., SOUTHWEST / VALLEY OF VIRGINIA PAINTED POPLAR PUNCHED-TIN-PANELED FOOD / PIE / MEAT SAFE

FRANKLIN CO., SOUTHWEST / VALLEY OF VIRGINIA PAINTED POPLAR PUNCHED-TIN-PANELED FOOD / PIE / MEAT SAFE, of overly-large form probably for large meat storage, the rectangular top with an applied tall gallery with shaped front edges over two short drawers each set with the original turned knobs over two doors each set with three punched-tin panels which conceal two removable shelves, the whole flanked by ends each set with three punched-tin panels and raised on turned legs which issue from the stile. Each tin is made of a full sheet with an applied half sheet, featuring a large central Masonic-style arch flanked by two smaller arches over a variety of circular and crescent forms. Yellow pine and poplar secondary woods. Retains an early green surface over the likely original salmon, which is retained on one end. Possibly made by Abner Bennett (1794-1853). Mid 19th century. 61" HOA, 55 1/4" WOA, 27" DOA. Catalogue Note: A verbal history accompanying this lot stated that it was made by a Bennett in Franklin Co., and that he made two, one for each of his daughters. The Bennett who best fits this profile is Abner Bennett (Pittsylvania/Franklin Co., VA, 1794-1853), who had two daughters. Abner was listed as a farmer in all of the census records we were able to locate, which still leaves the possibility that he is working as a cabinetmaker in the winter or slower farming times, but reports himself as a farmer when the census is taken in the summer. Another possible maker in Franklin Co. is George Washington Swepstone (1803-1869). Swepstone is also recorded as a farmer in every census except for 1850 when he is listed as "cabinetmaker".

Lot: 2428 - SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA TURNED POPLAR ROPE BED

SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA TURNED POPLAR ROPE BED, of unusual form, featuring distinct turned posts with acorn finials over deep rings and other stylized devices flanking a shaped headboard with a so-called rolling pin decoration at the top over an applied factory-carved molding.

Lot: 2429 - FINE VIRGINIA CHIPPENDALE CARVED WALNUT OPEN ARMCHAIR

FINE VIRGINIA CHIPPENDALE CARVED WALNUT OPEN ARMCHAIR, featuring shaped crest rail with distinctive spiraled or scrolled ears, splat with vertical lobate piercings intersected by a medial band and set into a separate shoe, serpentine arm rests terminating in carved volutes above shaped supports, trapezoidal molded-edge seat frame marked "II" to front rail, all raised on square legs joined with robust box stretcher. Retains likely original yellow pine slip seat marked with corresponding "II" and an old refinished surface with mellow color. Circa 1790. Probably Alexandria, VA. 37" HOA, 23" x 17 1/2" seat, 17" seat height. Literature: See MESDA Object Database, Photo # S-5984, for a similar example, now in a private collection, from the same school or cabinetshop. Catalogue Note: The present armchair is attributed to a school or cabinetshop in Alexandria, Virginia. There are at least seven examples, dubbed the "Alexandria Chairs Group" by Luke Beckerdite, with Alexandria attributions recorded in the MESDA database, each bearing nearly identical crest rails, splat design, and stretcher arrangement. Interestingly, the arm profile on the present chairs are remarkably similar to those on documented Frederick Co., Maryland examples, which also exhibit through-mortised side rails and similar leg and stretcher arrangement. At present, it is unclear whether there is a single shop or if there is a network of shops involved in the manufacture of these distinctive chairs. Research is ongoing.

Lot: 2437 - JOHN W. SIMPSON (ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, 1827-1914) MAHOGANY OPEN WASHSTAND

SIMPSON / CABINET - CHAIR / MAKER / [illegible] St / ALEX Va". Retains the original turned knobs, and an early, possibly original, finished surface. Mid 19th century. 31 1/4" HOA, 26" WOA, 15 3/4" DOA. Catalogue Note: Born in 1827, John W. Simpson appears to be part of a larger family of cabinetmakers and joiners living in Alexandria. The 1850 census shows John and his two brothers, Peter and Henry, all recorded as cabinetmakers. By 1860 John's recorded as a house carpenter, and by 1900 he and his family have moved to Baltimore where he is then noted as "Builder". Eventually he moved to Campbell Co., VA and dies in Lynchburg in 1914. John and his brothers are recorded in MESDA Craftsman Database (#98033, #98034, #98035). We were unable to locate any other signed pieces of furniture by the Simpsons.

Lot: 2439 - VIRGINIA FEDERAL INLAID WALNUT DROP-LEAF BREAKFAST TABLE

Lot: 2442 - RARE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY CHERRY CELLARETTE / BOTTLE CASE

RARE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY CHERRY CELLARETTE / BOTTLE CASE, a fine vernacular form of French influence, featuring sarcophagus-type hinged lid, open interior, fielded panels, beaded stiles, and unusual legs having reeded ankles and bandy-type feet. Poplar secondary wood. Retaining an old surface with mellow color. First quarter 19th century. 28" HOA, 18 1/2" WOA, 14 1/4" DOA. Catalogue Note: The following is from Sumpter Priddy's 2011 report on the presently offered lot: "This intriguing bottle case highlights the complexities of furniture identification in the lower Mississippi Valley, where the low survival rate for early regional furnishings that were produced in the French taste [has resulted in] relatively scant evidence of and scholarship about local furniture shops in many areas of the inland South. This bottle case is important evidence of the continuation of the French style and cross-culturalization in local cabinetmaking that occurred late in the first quarter of the 19th century - its beveled sarcophagus top, fluted leg stiles, and 'bandy' legs were inspired by French designs, [most notably] Louis XV style furniture. Indeed, sarcophagus tops were especially popular on cellarets and wine coolers, and in this instance, likely alludes to a wine-associated function. Not surprisingly, furniture with similar French details are found in Louisiana in the early 19th century. A cherry tea table in the collection of the Louisiana State Museum, originally made for and given to the Female Orphan Society in New Orleans circa 1819 by Julien Poydras, shares a similar high stance and shaped feet; the table has one drawer with a heavy beaded edge that relates directly to the beaded corners of the [presently offered] cellaret under discussion. An early 19th-century Louisiana armoire with bandy legs and hoof feet, flat panel doors with inlaid rather than beaded edges shares the same design inspiration. Materials, craftsmen, and furniture designs traveled freely through the vast network of rivers of the inland South in the early 19th century; in 1819 French naturalist francois Andre Michaud noted in his travel account that cherry planks were 'sent from Kentucky to New Orleans where they were also employed in cabinet-making.' This cross fertilization of styles and traditions makes it difficult to assign exact attributions until further scholarship is undertaken."

Lot: 2443 - RARE TENNESSEE / KENTUCKY CHERRY AND MAHOGANY SUGAR BUREAU / CHEST

RARE TENNESSEE / KENTUCKY CHERRY AND MAHOGANY SUGAR BUREAU / CHEST, the unusual form featuring a hinged lid concealing an interior with a removable, divided, dovetailed insert, fluted and ring-turned full columns, a false upper drawer, a full lower drawer, double-paneled ends, and turned feet. Poplar secondary wood. Retaining an old, likely original surface with rich color. Circa 1840. 41" H, 32 1/2" W, 21 1/2" D. Literature: See Williams and Harsh - The Art and Mystery of Tennessee Furniture and Its Makers Through 1850, p. 145, figs. 159 and 159a for a sugar press from Henry Co., TN that features similar removable, divided interior inserts.

Lot: 2444 - TENNESSEE LATE FEDERAL TIGER MAPLE SUGAR CHEST

TENNESSEE LATE FEDERAL TIGER MAPLE SUGAR CHEST, rare oversized form having hinged lid concealing divided interior, chest of dovetailed construction, attached to a base with applied reeded quarter-round walnut molding over two short drawers, all raised on turned legs issuing from the stiles. Poplar secondary wood. Retaining early, possibly original, knobs, and an old surface with mellow color. Mid 19th century. 31 1/2" HOA, 40" WOA, 17" DOA. Literature: See Williams and Harsh - The Art and Mystery of Tennessee Furniture and Its Makers Through 1850, fig. 310, p. 228 for a similar example in cherry.

Lot: 2445 - VERY FINE CHRISTIAN CO., KENTUCKY CHERRY STAND

VERY FINE CHRISTIAN CO., KENTUCKY CHERRY STAND, the round top over a conforming veneered apron of unique laminated construction, the whole raised on high turned legs terminating in narrow tall spoke-like feet. Poplar substrate. Retains a stellar original surface with the base retaining a dark crackled finish and the top a light smoothed surface from years of cleaning. A partial note to the underside reads "80 yrs old / your Grandmother / Electa Fox". Attributed to James Coleman (1777-1851), Hopkinsville, KY. Circa 1830. 29" HOA, 20" D top. Catalogue Note: James Coleman (1777-1851) was born in Virginia and recorded in Kentucky by 1800. The 1850 census records him as a wheelwright and engaged in "miscellaneous repair services". Richard Perrin briefly mentions Coleman in County of Christian, Kentucky: Historical and Biographical, saying on page 353, "... James O. and Lucy Coleman, came from Pennsylvania to Christian County, in the latter part of the eighteenth century. He was by trade a cabinetmaker, which he pursued in Hopkinsville for nearly half a century, and died in 1851..." Edna Talbott Whitney also records him in A Checklist of Kentucky Cabinetmakers from 1775-1859 as a wheelwright. The round laminated skirt construction and bold leg turnings of this table directly speak to the work of an experienced wheelwright, making the attribution to James Coleman very probable. Electa Fox (1885-1958) is recorded as living in Hopkinsville, KY, with her husband, Frank, from around 1914 to 1918. It's unclear whether she is referring to herself as "your grandmother" or to an ancestor. Regardless, it places the table in the same town where it was made about "80 years" prior, as Electa notes.

Lot: 2446 - NORTHERN GEORGIA PAINTED YELLOW PINE DIMINUTIVE BLANKET CHEST

NORTHERN GEORGIA PAINTED YELLOW PINE DIMINUTIVE BLANKET CHEST, nailed construction, the rectangular hinged lid with an applied edge molding over an open interior, the applied bracket foot base extends across the back and has a canted molded top edge similar to that of the lid over a distinctive series of semi-circular cut-outs, the central of which acts as a foot, the ends with a similar motif. Retains original iron hinges and lock, and the likely original red-painted surface with a later protective varnish. Possibly Habersham Co., GA. Second quarter 19th century. 18 1/2" HOA, 39" WOA, 17" DOA. Catalogue Note: The lack of an interior till seems to be relatively consistent through most Georgia blanket chests we have studied. Additionally, several other chests attributed to Habersham Co. and the surrounding area have exhibited the same base framing that extends across the back of the piece.

Lot: 2447 - SOUTHERN, POSSIBLY TENNESSEE, INLAID WALNUT TALL CHEST OF DRAWERS

SOUTHERN, POSSIBLY TENNESSEE, INLAID WALNUT TALL CHEST OF DRAWERS, the overhanging cove-molded cornice over a three-over-two-over-four drawer arrangement, the whole flanked by solid ends and raised on modified French bracket feet.

Poplar and yellow pine secondary woods. Retaining an old surface with warm color. Possibly Virginia or Western Maryland. Circa 1770. 77" HOA, 29 1/2" DOA, 71 1/4" WOA.   

Lot: 2450 - FINE AND RARE EDWARD PRIESTLEY (BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 1778-1837), ATTRIBUTED, CLASSICAL MAHOGANY SECRETARY / DESK AND BOOKCASE

Pine and poplar secondary woods. Retains richly figured veneers throughout and an early surface with warm color. Circa 1825. 99" HOA, 51 1/2" WOA, 24" DOA. Literature: See Kirtley - "A New Suspect: Baltimore Cabinetmaker Edward Priestley", American Furniture (2000), pp. 100-151 for an in-depth overview of the Priestly's work. Catalogue Note: Born in Annapolis, Maryland, Edward Priestley (1778-1837) moved with his widowed mother to Baltimore in 1790. While no records exist regarding his apprenticeship, it is likely that he trained under a master in the city during the last decade of the 18th century. By 1801, he had entered into a partnership with fellow cabinetmaker, Samuel Minskey (1778-1819), and the two established a shop near the wharves in Baltimore, where they advertised a full array of furniture and furnishings for prospective clients in the city as well as those further south through export. In 1807, Priestley and Minskey dissolved their partnership, and set up their own individual enterprises. Priestley maintained the present location on Baltimore Street and prospered there for nearly three decades as one of the rapidly growing city's most sought-after cabinetmakers. His list of clients during this period include everyone from the region's wealthy elite to President James Madison and First Lady Dolly Madison.  A number of Priestley's most iconic pieces bear distinctive carved "Mummy" figures as a decorative motif, undoubtedly resulting from keen interest in Egyptian architecture and decorative arts during the latter phase of the Neoclassical period. The presently offered desk and bookcase does just that, using the "Mummy" figures as faux columns that flank the lower cabinet doors, giving the entire piece a decidedly architectural aesthetic that was in such strong demand during the era. A new discovery in Baltimore furniture from the early republic, this exquisitely crafted desk and bookcase in remarkably fine condition represents the only documented example of the form by Priestley that we were able to locate.

Literature: See Kirtley - "A New Suspect: Baltimore Cabinetmaker Edward Priestley", American Furniture (2000) for an in-depth overview of the Priestly's work. Catalogue Note: Born in Annapolis, Maryland, Edward Priestley (1778-1837) moved with his widowed mother to Baltimore in 1790. While no records exist regarding his apprenticeship, it is likely that he trained under a master in the city during the last decade of the 18th century. By 1801, he had entered into a partnership with fellow cabinetmaker, Samuel Minskey (1778-1819), and the two established a shop near the wharves in Baltimore, where they advertised a full array of furniture and furnishings for prospective clients in the city as well as those further south through export. In 1807, Priestley and Minskey dissolved their partnership, and set up their own individual enterprises. Priestley maintained the present location on Baltimore Street and prospered there for nearly three decades as one of the rapidly growing city's most sought-after cabinetmakers. His list of clients during this period include everyone from the region's wealthy elite to President James Madison and First Lady Dolly Madison.  A number of Priestley's most iconic pieces bear distinctive carved "Mummy" figures as a decorative motif, undoubtedly resulting from keen interest in Egyptian architecture and decorative arts during the latter phase of the Neoclassical period.

He was the son of Robert Provo Carr (1820-1861) and Mary Anne Carr (1824-1867) of Richmond. By 1870 James was working as a mould maker, likely using skills he learned from his carpenter father. The 1880 US Census lists James as "Works in Iron W[orks]", most likely at the famed Tredegar Ironworks. The first record located of Carr owning his own firm is an advertisement in the March 13, 1886 "Richmond Labor Harold" for "James W. Carr, Iron and Brass Founder, 1511 East Cary St., Richmond, Va.", which announces his production of "Fronts, Grates, Fenders, Andirons, Hydrant Traps, Sinks, Iron and Brass Casting, Ventilators, &c. Plow Castings a Specialty." The listing for Carr's foundry in the 1891 Richmond City Directory notes his address as 1420 Cary St. and indicates that he has added "Iron Mantels" to his list of products. His firm is listed at 7 N. 25th Street in the 1912 issue of the City Directory. James announced his retirement in the May 12, 1913 issue of the "Richmond Times Dispatch" and noted that his son Frederick Clifton Carr (1874-1941) "who has been associated with me in the business, will continue the same under the old firm name." The last record found of the Carr Foundry is in the 1931 Richmond City Directory at the same 25th Street address. The James Carr firm is noted for producing a number of marked, highly decorative garden furnishings and ornaments like the settees in the present lot. An article in the November 17, 1907 issue of the "Richmond Times Dispatch" offers the only reference located so far to this decorative line. It reports that Carr has purchased a large lot on 25th Street between Main and Franklin Streets in order to expand his foundry. It goes on to say, "Mr. Carr began the manufacture some years ago in a modest way in this city of iron settees, vases, weather vanes and ornamental iron and brass work..." The article goes on to note other production including "iron fencing". These decorative articles were most likely produced when he was at his first Cary Street location. Research on this firm ongoing.
