• SET OF FIVE BELLE EPOQUE WALL
  SET OF FIVE BELLE EPOQUE WALL PANELS FROM ANNESDALE MAN...A set of five (5) monumental French Belle Epoque period carved gilt-wood room panels, featuring Aesthetic Movement-inspired oil paintings on canvas with gold-leaf ground set into elaborate carved and pierced Rocaille frames. The largest panel features an imposing peacock perched atop a flower-filled urn, while the others depict urns and stands festooned in a variety of flowers along with birds, butterflies, and imagery emblematic of the four seasons. Unsigned. Height - 108"-115" (see full dimensions below). Dimensions: The two largest panels are: Framed: 115" H x 45 1/2" W. Sight: 97" H x 42 3/4" W. Two narrow panels: Framed: 108" H x 28" W, Sight: 97" H. x 22 3/4" W. One Medium Size panel: Framed : 115" H x 44 3/4" W, Sight: 96 1/2" H x 31 3/4" W. Note: For more than a century, these panels were a focal point of Annesdale, one of Memphis, Tennessee's most historic and elegant mansions. Annesdale was completed in 1855 for Dr. Samuel Mansfield. In 1868, it was purchased by Robert Campbell Brinkley (1816-1878), originator of the famous Peabody Hotel, as a wedding gift for his daughter, Anne Overton Brinkley (1845-1923), and her new husband, Col. Robert Bogardus Snowden (1836-1909), and re-named Annesdale. The 17,000 square foot Italianate villa with 14 foot ceilings, 5 stories including bell tower, and magnificent gardens was home to the prominent Snowden family for seven generations. The home was eventually sold and preserved as an event venue. Earlier this year, the mansion on what is now known as Lamar Avenue was sold again, into private hands, and these panels were removed. Acquiring lavish, elegantly painted panels to adorn a room was a popular practice among the Southern elite during the late 1800s and very early 1900s. In 1911, noted American artist Everett Shinn painted a series of slightly less extravagant flowering urn canvas panels for a monumental (109"H) screen for the Ballard House of Louisville. It is not known where or how the Snowdens acquired these particular panels - by commissioning them or by bringing them home from their overseas travels - but they likely date from around the same period. These panels are one of several lots formerly from Annesdale Mansion being sold in this auction, along with Snowden family portraits, silver and ephemera. Condition: Overall fair to good condition commensurate with age and use. Each canvas with some form of crazing and craquelure, stretcher bar creases, several areas of paint/pigment loss, touch-ups and in-painting, punctures and patches to canvas, and areas of surface dust & grim. All panels have been glazed with an ochre paint over the pink borders to stabilize fugitive areas of paint cracking and loss. Each frame with some form of loss to surface finish, minor losses to scroll and frame elements, breaks, repairs, drill holes, touch-ups, separation at joints, and some areas with small spilled white paint dots.

• US WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 MUSKET .22
  US WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 MUSKET .22 LR RIFLEFeatured in this lot is an U.S. Winchester Model 1885 Low Wall musket chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The rifle features a 28-inch round barrel with a covered front sight and Lyman precision receiver sight. The Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Model 1885 is a single-shot falling-block action, which was offered in two distinct variations, the Low Wall and the High Wall, and was designed by John Browning and produced from 1885-1918. In 1883, Thomas G. Bennet, the Vice-President, and General Manager of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, traveled to Ogden, Utah to meet with the Browning Brother’s about the negotiation and purchase of the single-shot design, as well as a prototype of what would become the Model 1886 lever action. This meeting began what was to be a very fruitful 20-year Winchester and Browning collaboration. The rifle was produced to satisfy the demands created for the growing sport of long-range “Match Shooting” and was dominated by the single-shot giants, such as Sharps, Remington, Stevens, Maynard, and Ballard. They entered as not only competitors, but also excelled, with Major Ned H. Roberts (inventor of the .257 Roberts cartridge) describing the Model 1885 as “the most reliable, strongest, and altogether best single shot rifle ever produced”. The action was considered so strong and trustworthy that Winchester used the Model 1885 as the test rifle for all new large calibers. The rifle features the band fastened grooved full length walnut forearm and straight grip sportier style walnut stock with original crescent steel butt plate. The rifle receiver shows some of the original finish color fading to a gray coloration, with the barrel having the same dark original finish and some gray. The wood shows patina from wear and use. The bore is bright with good rifling. Serial Number: 123178. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
