Auction Description

Fine Arts Collection of Morris V. Shelanski M.D. by Hess Auction Group

Morris V. Shelanski is life long collector of Fine Arts and Antiques. He was born to European immigrants and grew up in South Philadelphia during the depression. Upon graduating from South Philadelphia High School he was awarded a scholarship to Harvard. While studying biochemistry there he took a humanities course in archeology and ancient civilizations where his passion for classical art was kindled. He went on to medical school, served in the Navy and went to work in Pharmaceutical R&D holding several important patents in the field.

From the 1950s through the 1970s he acquired many fine objects in his weekend travels to antique shops on Pine Street and the surrounding Philadelphia suburbs. He bought with unbridled enthusiasm from classic cars to classical arts. He also bought in quantity. Prominent dealer Phil Bradley once remarked that while on a buying outing to Pine Street in the 1960s that he could not buy a single painting because Dr. Shelanski had already bought them all.

The majority of these objects have been in storage for over 40 years, many even longer, some having been packed away upon purchase.

This auction consists of over 150 paintings from 16th to 20th centuries, over 50 prints and etchings from 17th to 19th centuries, large selection of antique and semi-antique Oriental Carpets, crib quilts, Arts and Crafts oak furniture, period and period style furniture, bronze sculptures, Orientalia, 18th & 19th century rhinoceros horn libation cups, woodenwares, Metalwares, etc.

Terms & Conditions

Conditions of Sale

Any Prospective Bidder (“hereinafter referred to as “Bidder” and sometimes “Buyer”) who bids on any item, hereby agrees to these Conditions of Sale of John M. Hess Auction Company, Inc. (also d/b/a Conestoga Auction Company, Hess Auction Group) (hereinafter referred to as the “Auction Company”) relative to property being offered for sale at auction. These Conditions of Sale and all other contents of the catalog are subject to amendment by the Auction Company by the posting of notices or by oral announcements made during the sale. Auction Company has made every effort to catalog and correctly describe the property to be sold, however, all lots are sold 'AS IS' and should be examined prior to bidding.  Flaws and imperfections caused in the making are not noted.  Expect normal wear and oxidation on antique metal wares and crazing and normal glaze loss on pottery and ceramics. Any additional condition questions should be made 24 hours prior to the start of the auction to allow for our staff to review the items. In all matters, the records of the Auction will be final.

 By participating in any sale the Bidder agrees to be bound by the following terms and conditions:

A.             All bidders must register for a buyer's number and provide satisfactory identification. An 18% In-House Buyer's Premium is added to each item sold at auction. On-line buyers are charged an additional premium.  The on-line buyer’s premium varies according to the listing platform that is used.  Check the on-line conditions of sale for the buyer’s premium for each auction when bidding on line.  6% Sales Tax will be charged except to persons with a current Dealer's Sales Tax Exemption on file with the Auction. Upon the fall of the hammer or said sold, the title and responsibility for each item or lot passes on to the Buyer.  In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer, at his discretion, will determine the successful bidder or re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. In addition to signing these Conditions of Sale, Bidder agrees that he or she will not be permitted to take delivery of purchases until his or her check(s) have cleared unless he or she has previously established credit or made payment arrangements satisfactory to Auction Company. A premium equal to 18% of the successful bid price will be added to all lots, and is payable by the Bidder, as part of the total purchase price.

B.             BIDDING INCREMENTS: The auctioneers will be using set bid increments. If you have placed absentee bids that do not follow the set increments, your bid will be executed at the set lower increment.

C.             ABSENTEE BIDDING will be accepted with a valid credit card number to guarantee the bid. In the event of duplicate in-house absentee bids, the first bid received will take precedence.  In-house absentee bids will not be executed on items which are found to be other than described in the catalog.  The auctioneer may reject any bid which he considers to be nominal and not commensurate with the value of the article offered.  It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid price as they are handled competitively.  Due to uncertainties of bidding, a lot may sell to the floor bidder for the same amount as an absentee bid. To prevent this from happening, the absentee bidder can give Auction Company the right to bid the next higher bid by placing a (+) sign after the bid price. Auction Company will not be responsible for any omissions when processing your absentee bids. All sales are final and must be paid in full immediately.  Items must be inspected before leaving absentee bids.

D.             ON-LINE BIDDING: On-line buyers are charged an additional premium.  The on-line buyer’s premium varies according to the listing platform that is used.  Check the on-line conditions of sale for the buyer’s premium for each auction when bidding on line.  We are not aware of the live bids in advance, but only during the time of the auction as they are forwarded to our computer. Auction Company will not be responsible for any omissions, errors or slow communications on absentee bids from On-line. In the event of a tie bid with a floor bidder and an online bidder, the floor bidder will take precedence. The auctioneer's decision in this matter is final.

E.             PHONE BIDDING: There are a limited number of phones available and will be issued on a first come, first serve basis. Phone bidders will begin the bid at the stated low estimate. Arrangements must be made at least 24 hours before the sale. Phone lines are reserved for serious bidders only. Auction Company holds the right to reject any phone bids that are submitted after the set deadline.

F.             PAYMENT: Payment must be made prior to removal from the auction house. In house bidders must settle their accounts on the day of sale. Absentee, Telephone and On-line Bidders must make payment within fourteen (14) business days. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of items.

G.            ON-LINE PAYMENTS: All invoices will be emailed to the buyers on the first business day following the auction. PayPal, Money Orders, Cashier’s Check, Wire Transfer, MasterCard, and Visa will be accepted for payment of purchases.  If using PayPal to send payment, please use our email at ebaylive@conestogaauction.com. Items must be paid for within fourteen (14) days of the auction. Items must be scheduled for removal from our auction facility within fourteen (14) days or be charged a monthly fee of 1.5% of the purchase price.

H.             SHIPPING: Auction Company does not pack or ship any items in house.  Buyer pays shipping cost directly to shipper. All items are sent through the UPS Store, a third party shipping company.  All international customers are responsible for their own taxes and tariffs based upon the actual selling price.  The declared value cannot be of lesser value than purchase price.  Please contact either:

·         The UPS Store at store3230@theupsstore.com  (717)733-1482

O.            Auctioneer’s Discretion. If the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the article from the sale.  If having accepted an opening bid, the auctioneer decides that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the advance.

P.             Successful Bid. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass from Owner to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, subject to these Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and such bidder (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase and (c) will pay the purchase price in full or such part as Auction Company may require for all lots purchased.

Q.            Collateral/Security.  The Buyer grants Auction Company a security interest in the purchase property and Auction Company may retain as collateral security for the Bidder’s obligations to Auction Company any property or monies held or received by Auction Company for the account of the Bidder.  Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Auction Company has collected funds represented by checks, or, in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, until Auction Company has confirmed their authenticity. Bidder agrees that a 1-1/2% per month late charge will be imposed on the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein and agrees to pay any returned check charges that may be incurred.

R.             Removal of Property. The Bidder, at Bidder’s expense must remove all property from Auction Company not later than 10 business days following the sale.    Removal of purchases during the auction is encouraged.  Purchases not so removed will be subject to the following charges to cover handling and storage costs:  After 10 business days following the sale, a handling charge of 1% of the purchase price will be payable by the buyer per month until the items are removed, with a minimum of 5% for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Bidder agrees that any property which is paid for but left at Auction Company’s premises for any reason in excess of sixty (60) calendar days after the sale may be sold by Auction Company at public auction with the balance of any funds recovered in excess of the storage charges and auction charges, being remitted to the Bidder.

S.             Non-Payment.  If the Bidder does not make full payment for the purchases within the time required, Auction Company is authorized in its absolute and sole discretion to exercise one or more of the following remedies, in addition to other remedies available to Auction Company and the Owner:  Auction Company is authorized to: (a) hold the buyer liable for the total purchase price; (b) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the Buyer; (c) resell the property at public auction or private sale with terms that Auction Company deems appropriate; (d) to resell the property at public auction without reserve and the Buyer shall be liable for any deficiency, cost,  handling charges and the expenses of both sales and the commissions on both sales; (e) to offset the full purchase price against any amount owed by Auction Company to the Buyer; (f) to not allow any bids at any upcoming auctions by or on behalf of the Buyer; and (h) to take other actions as Auction Company find necessary and appropriate.

Buyer shall be liable to Auction Company for all other charges incurred as a result of Buyer’s non-payment, including attorney fees, expenses and incidental damages.  As between Auction Company and Owner, if the successful bidder does not pay for the property, collection procedures shall be the responsibility of the Consignor and not Auction Company.

T.             Limited Right of Rescission. If within twenty-one days of the sale of any lot, the Buyer gives notice in writing to Auction Company alleging that the identification of authorship (as defined in the Catalog) of such lot as set forth in the Catalog description of such lot (as amended by any written notices or verbal announcements during the sale) is not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the catalog, and (b) if within fourteen days of such notice the buyer returns the lot to Auction Company in the same condition as when sold, and (c) establishes the written allegations to Auction Company’s satisfaction (including by providing one or more written opinions by recognized experts in the field, as Auction Company may reasonably require), then the sale will be rescinded with only the purchase price and Buyer’s premium refunded.  No reimbursement shall be made for any shipping costs incurred. 

U.             Limitation of Liability. If, for any reason a purchased lot cannot delivered in the same condition as at the time of sale, or should any purchased lot be stolen, miss-delivered or lost prior to delivery, Auction Company shall not be liable for any amount in excess of that paid by the buyer.

V.             Endangered Species. International shipping is not available for items containing materials from endangered species including but not limited to; ivory and rhino horns. These items will only be shipped within the United States, except to prohibited states. All buyers agree to comply with any additional restrictions regarding the trade of endangered species as a condition of sale. It is the purchaser's responsibility to obtain any licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation prior to shipment. In the case of denial or delay of any required documentation or paperwork, they buyer will still be responsible for making on-time payment for the total purchase price of the lot. Therefore, if you are unsure, we recommend that you DO NOT BID on endangered species items.
