• JEAN ZUBER AND CO., VUES D'AMéRIQUE
  JEAN ZUBER AND CO., VUES D'AMéRIQUE DU NORD (VIEWS OF NORTH AMERICA) PANORAMIC WALLPAPER PANELS, AFTER JEAN-JULIEN DELTIL (1791-1863)The set of twenty-seven woodblock panels printed in colors on heavy paper. Overall approximately 79 x 441 in. (sheet), unframed. Note: The Zuber Manufactory printed these popular scenes of North America beginning in 1834 using antique woodblocks that dated from 1690. The company has continued to print these panels through to the present day. The full panoramic view contains thirty-two panels printed from 1,690 woodblocks using over two-hundred different colors. The scenes depicted, based on original works by Deltil, are those that were admired most by Europeans in the early nineteenth century: the Natural Bridge of Virginia, Niagara Falls, New York Bay, West Point and Boston Harbor. Widely assumed that these scenes wholly depict American landscapes, wallpaper historian Catherine Lynn has noted that some details in the compositions bear close resemblance to European ports. The wallpaper was imported from France to the United States in the nineteenth century and was not intended solely for upper class houses, though the most famous installation of the Zuber panels is in the White House. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy salvaged a set of Views of North America panels from a Maryland house that was being demolished, installing them on the west side of the Diplomatic Reception Room. In 1852, Zuber republished Views of North America as The War of American Independence , substituting figures in various scenes to recreate battles and the Boston Tea Party. Mrs. Kennedy used the 1852 wallpaper panels in her redecoration of the White House private dining room. Betty Ford disliked the battle scenes and had them removed, painting the room bright yellow instead. The Carters then rehung the War of American Independence panels and they remained in the dining room until the Clintons chose to cover the walls with pale green silk. The original set of the Views of North America remain today in the Diplomatic Reception Room where it offers foreign diplomats and guests an historical view of America. Condition Panels irregularly trimmed and with losses, tears and splits. Tack holes at the corners. Backed with linen and with remains of old glue on the reverse. Some surface soiling and scuffing. The colors strong. Lacking five original panels.Not withstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
• GEORGE III CARVED MAHOGANY CLOCK, DIAL
  GEORGE III CARVED MAHOGANY CLOCK, DIAL SIGNED JOHN BARR, PT. GLASGOW7 ft. 10 3/4 in. x 20 1/2 x 9 3/4 in. Note on the interior door: 'This clock was imported in 1751 by Obadiah Curtis, a ship owner of Boston. Mr. Curtis' family arrived in Boston in 1630 with Governor Winthrop's party of Puritans. He was born in 1724 and died November 11, 1811, the son of Samuel Curtis. Mr. Obadiah Curtis was a member of The Boston Tea Party, objecting to the tax on tea imposed on the American Colonies. His loyalty to King George was weakened further by the closing of the port of Boston by the British in 1775, where he is reported to have had interests in 14 ships which were then at sea and could not return to their home port. During the ensuing military confrontation between the Colonies and the British, the lead weights in this clock were melted down to be used in the Battle of Bunker Hill, where the British took great losses to capture the heights above Boston Harbor. Being unable to hold these heights, the British were forced to abandon the Port of Boston to the Revolutionaries. This clock descended from Obadiah Curtis to his daughter Martha, wife of Samuel Clarke. Her husband had also joined the Revolutionary cause, having interests in a dozen ships which were stranded by the closing of the port of Boston. At the death of Martha in 1841, this clock came to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Rebecca Clarke. Mrs. Clarke gave it to her daughter, Sarah, the painter, then of Newport, R.I., but who subsequently moved to live permanently in Rome, Italy to pursue her painting career. At this time, deciding not to ship the the clock overseas, she gave it to her brother, Samuel C. Clarke, who was then living in Milwaukee and who later moved to Marrietta, Georgia. It was returned to Boston in 1920 to Eliot C. Clarke, another descendant of Obadiah Curtis. It descended to his son James F. Clarke of Boston and from him to his sold Eliot C. Clarke of New York City. It has registered time in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Georgia and New York for 234 years. Lithgow, Millbrook, NY 1985.
