Key museums and historic institutions holding significant Shaker from the Andrews collection include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Winterthur Museum, Hancock Shaker Village, and the American Museum in Bath. In addition to their landmark study Shaker Furniture: The Craftsmanship of an American Communal Sect, Faith and Edward Deming Andrews produced a substantial body of scholarship on Shaker material culture, including Religion in Wood: A Book of Shaker Furniture, Masterpieces of Shaker Furniture, and The Community Industries of the Shakers. These works collectively helped define the field of Shaker studies and remain standard references for the interpretation of Shaker furniture, craft, and religious life.

Lot: 25 - Shaker Peg Rack with Ejner Handberg Hanging Shelf

Shaker Peg Rack with Hanging Shelf. Peg rack is late 19th century, shelves were made by Ejner Handberg (1902–1985). Provenance: Estate of Faith and Edward Deming Andrews. Shelf: H 40-3/4 in. W 21-3/4 in. D 7-3/4 in. Peg Rack: H 2-3/4 in. W 36 in. Reference: Ejner Handberg (1902–1985) was a Danish-born cabinetmaker and designer best known for his meticulous documentation and reproduction of historic Shaker furniture. Working in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, he measured original Shaker pieces with exceptional precision and translated them into detailed shop drawings that enabled accurate reproduction of their spare, functional designs. His published volumes of Shaker furniture and woodenware became standard references for woodworkers, preserving the Shaker tradition of simplicity, utility, and refined craftsmanship and making it widely accessible to modern makers and institutions.  Faith and Edward Deming Andrews are widely regarded as foundational figures in the scholarship of Shaker furniture. Working from the 1920s through the mid-twentieth century, they were among the first to document, interpret, and systematically collect Shaker material culture as a coherent aesthetic and religious expression rather than as isolated vernacular craft. The Andrews collection, assembled through decades of field research in surviving Shaker communities, became one of the most important early archives of Shaker domestic furnishings and continues to underpin major institutional holdings and interpretive frameworks in American decorative arts. Key museums and historic institutions holding significant Shaker from the Andrews collection include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Winterthur Museum, Hancock Shaker Village, and the American Museum in Bath. In addition to their landmark study Shaker Furniture: The Craftsmanship of an American Communal Sect, Faith and Edward Deming Andrews produced a substantial body of scholarship on Shaker material culture, including Religion in Wood: A Book of Shaker Furniture, Masterpieces of Shaker Furniture, and The Community Industries of the Shakers. These works collectively helped define the field of Shaker studies and remain standard references for the interpretation of Shaker furniture, craft, and religious life.

Eventually at the age of consent she chose not to stay on, and was said to have left the Watervliet Shaker community to marry. The sampler maker signed the Shaker needlework was "Elizabeth Field 1816". She was born 1804 in Troy; her father was a man named Jonathan Field and her husband Darius Baden, who was born in 1798 in Lee, Massachusetts; very close to the Hancock Shaker Community......Additionally, per the website "10,000 Records of Eastern New York 1777-1834", it states at the time of their marriage right after she left the Watervliet Shaker Community in 1821 at 17 years of age, that Elizabeth Field and her spouse Darius Baden were "Both of Troy" (not sure if that infers they were both together at Watervliet before marrying, or both residing down the street in Troy after both left Watervliet?)."

Lot: 215 - Henry Walton - Portrait of Silas H. Van Lew

Henry Walton (1820-1873) - Portrait of Silas H.Van Lew, aged 3, with his pet dog. Signed lower center and dated 1836. Watercolor on paper in a period frame. New York State. Frame: H 10-7/8 in. W 8-7/8 in. Sight: 8 in. W 6 in. Reference: A portrait of his younger brother Oscar was sold at Schmidt's Auction Ypsilanti, Michigan in 2013. It is not ironic that both portraits were found in the Midwest as the family like many other Upstate NY families moved to Michigan sometime after1836 as part of the early pioneering period across America and in this case Western Michigan. Silas married Luna Haynes around 1854 and settled in Kent County, Michigan and had children including a daughter named Ida. Early records show that the typical settler movement from Upstate NY would have likely consisted of a combination of boat across the Great Lakes and overland travel. From Ithaca, for instance, the voyage would have been 60 miles north by road to the Erie Canal (Syracuse was a likely place) and then by packet boat west to Buffalo on the shores of Lake Erie. That's where travelers would board a steamboat or schooner heading toward Detroit and points further west.

More on the Artist: Mary Ann Willson is among the most distinctive and sought-after American folk artists of the early Nineteenth Century. A self-taught watercolorist, she settled in Greenville, Greene County, New York, circa 1810, with her companion Miss Brundage, the two living together on a small farm where Brundage worked the land and Willson made and sold her pictures. She mixed her own pigments from berries, brick dust and other common materials, and her watercolors were reportedly sold to patrons from Canada to Mobile, Alabama. Her work went unrecognized until 1943, when a portfolio of her drawings was discovered at the Harry Stone Gallery in New York City, and she is today considered, alongside Eunice Pinney, one of the earliest American artists to work in watercolor. Examples are held in major institutional collections and rarely come to market.
