Auction Description

January 21st, 2021 Estate Treasures Auction by Nye & Co.
Nye & Company Auctioneers, two-day, Estate Treasures auction, featuring property from the Siegmund collection of folk art and the Steve and Stephanie Alpert collection, will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 20th & 21st. The auction is packed with a variety of property from private collections, with an emphasis on American and English furniture, folk art and self-taught/outsider art, American paintings, Chinese works of art and silver and jewelry. This sale will feature a selection of self-taught art from primarily Southwestern artists such as Felipe and Leroy Archuleta, Leroy Ortega and Felix Lopez, and modern furniture from the artist Pedro Friedeberg. The Siegmund collection is a terrific assemblage of folk art objects. For those who prefer traditional decorative arts, there is a superb collection of English and Irish furniture from the estate of Robert K. Johnson of Maine and South Carolina. Headlining the collection are three lots of George II Anglo-Chinese huanghuali chairs, possibly from a set supplied to Sir Henry Gough, an extremely successful merchant who traded with India and China. Nye & Company is pleased to be offering some additional property from the estate of William Hodgins, the highly regarded Boston-based interior designer. There is a wonderful selection of Modern furniture, including a set of four Robert Venturi "Chippendale" chairs for Knoll. Folk art portraiture includes works by Micah Williams, John Paradise, Deacon Robert Pecham, William Kennedy and others. Works are delightfully done by painters such as Everett Shin, John Traynor, Joseph Barrett, Henry Bertoia and Peter Moran. There is also an exceptional double portrait of the brothers, Sheldon and Adelbert Niles Potter, painted by William Worcester Churchill (1858-1926). Part II of a New Jersey private Short Hills and San Francisco collector includes multiple pieces by designer Marco Bicago, David Yurman, Roberto Coin and Tiffany. Read more

These conditions of sale are Nye and Company’s, a division of Buck Trout, Inc. (“we,” “us” or “our”), and the consignor’s entire agreement with the  bidder or purchaser (“you” or “your”) for the property listed in the auction catalogue, other than items listed in advertising for future sales.  These conditions of sale and the contents listed in the catalogue are subject to amendment by us by the posting of notices or by oral announcements made during the sale.  We will offer the property in lots.   A lot may consist of a single item of property or multiple items of property as we may determine.  Please note that any references to the term “including” are deemed to mean “including, by way of example and not of limitation.”  By bidding at any of our auctions, whether in person or by agent, by written or any other means, you agree to be bound by the following conditions of sale:

1. Property Sold “As Is.”    All property is sold “As Is” and without any express or implied representation or warranty by us or any consignor, including with respect to warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or  as to the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, authorship, provenance, medium, period, literature, exhibitions, origin, or estimated value of any lot sold.  We and the consignor also make no representations or warranties as to whether you will acquire any copyrights, including reproduction rights, in any purchased property. The absence of any reference to the condition of property does not imply perfect or imperfect condition nor does a reference to defects imply the absence of others. No oral or written statement, including  in the catalogue or an advertisement, bill of  sale, gallery or website posting, announcement, or remarks by our staff or agents or the auctioneer,  is to be considered a warranty, representation, or assumption  of liability.  All measurements and weights are approximate.

3. Property Withdrawal.  We reserve the right to withdraw any property before or at a sale and cannot be held liable for any such withdrawal.

4. Right to Reject Bids.  We reserve the right to reject any bid.  If the auctioneer decides an opening bid is below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale.  If the auctioneer acknowledges an opening bid, and later decides that any additional bid is insufficient, he may reject that advance.  If the auctioneer does not receive or accept an advance additional bid, he then at his discretion may pass and not sell that lot.

5. Lots with Reserves; Our Interest in Property.   We may offer lots subject to a “reserve,” which is a confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold.  We may implement such reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor.  We also may begin bidding for a lot at a price above the reserve, but may reduce the bid below the reserve in order to stimulate the bidding process.  We or our affiliates may have an ownership or other financial interest, including as a result of a loan to a consignor, in the outcome of a sale of a lot.

6. Bidding Procedure. The auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may advance the bidding in any manner that he may decide, or withdraw or divide any lot or combine two or more lots.  In the event of a bidding dispute, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or to re-offer and resell the disputed lot.  If a dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive and final.
