Nye & Company Auctioneers will be holding a two day Collectors? Passion auction featuring Folk Art from the Estates of Marjorie and Robert L. Hirschhorn. The sale also includes a curated selection of early American, English and Continental Furniture, an extensive assortment of Silver and a broad selection of Fine Art and Maps starting January 24th at 10 am Eastern Time.
January is traditionally a month when Americana crosses the podium and this year is no exception. The collection of highly-inlaid parquetry furniture, canes and walking sticks from the Property from the Estates of Marjorie and Robert L. Hirschhorn anchors the artwork made on
this side of the Atlantic.
For example, Johnny Cash, s Personal Hand-Carved Owl- and Rattlesnake-Carved Cane is one of the highlights. There are also commemorative, G.A.R., Civil War, allegorical canes and walking sticks, some with figural handles and highly carved shafts. There are examples with busts of dogs, humans, animals and even Abraham Lincoln. They accumulated a number of elaborately-inlaid pieces of furniture and clocks. For example, a Roxbury Style Tall Case Clock was acquired by the Hirschhorns in 1993.
The rare Two-Part Clock on Stand was made by Clayton Williams of Mt. Airy, North Carolina, circa 1959. The Sixteen-Sided, Elaborately-Inlaid Center Table is one of several pieces in the collection depicted in Richard Muhlberger, ?American Folk Marquetry: Masterpieces in Wood, ? published by the American Folk Art Museum in 1998.
A small selection from the Stanley Weiss Collection includes a Classical Giltwood Overmantel Mirror, a Queen Anne Mahogany Drop Leaf Dining Table and a Federal Satinwood Tambour Secretary. A Pennsylvania and Connecticut collector is selling a Chippendale Walnut Chest-on-Chest with the idiosyncratic tall scroll-board of Lancaster County and a nice tall case clock.
