Rare and Important American
Rare and Important American Gothic Revival Oak Hall Chair, possibly New Orleans or New York, mid-19th century, the tall back supported by pierced and carved stiles terminating in crocketed spires, the central pierced and carved splat with an additional carved spire, the solid plank seat with molded edge hinged along the back edge and opening to a void cavity, supported by pierced front legs, h. 71\". This chair belongs to a small but important group of furniture associated with the Antebellum South. Related chairs have been found in Vicksburg, New Orleans, and most notably Stanton Hall Plantation in Natchez, Mississippi. It has been suggested that New Orleans may have been the source of this body of furniture since the Stanton Hall examples were invoiced by Henry Siebrecht of New Orleans. Related examples are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Bybee Collection, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Henry Francis duPont Winterthur Museum and the New Orleans Museum of Art. A mate to the Winterthur chair sold at New Orleans Auction Galleries in March, 1998, for $40,700, and another sidechair in March, 2000, for $56,000. The New Orleans Auction St. Charles Gallery sold the matching recamier in April, 1998, for $44,000.

O/C AFTER CIGNIANI, JOSEPH AND
O/C AFTER CIGNIANI, JOSEPH AND POTIPHAR'S WIFE19th century oil on canvas painting after Cigniani, Joseph and Potiphar's Wife. Unsigned. Housed in a giltwood frame with gilt mat having octagonal opening. Sight - 38" H x 38" W. Framed - 52" H x 52" W. Accompanied by a file of information on its restoration and research into the history conducted by the late owner. Painting was professionally conserved at Winterthur's Art Conservation Program in 1985 with full report enclosed. According to this documentation, the painting had been in Mrs. Green's family for four generations and was originally owned by Carl C. Giers. It passed to his son Otto, whose wife, Sarah "Sallie" Hunter, "being very much a Victorian Lady, did not feel the painting was proper to hang in her house, so she relegated it to an outside shed in the back of the house and this is where it sustained most of the damage that occurred over the years." When their daughter, Hunter Giers Hicks (Mrs. Edward Dickson Hicks IV) inherited it, she brought it out and hung it in the main house. Provenance: the estate of Sarah Hunter Hicks Green, formerly of Historic Devon Farm, Nashville, Tennessee. (Higher-resolution photos are available at www.caseantiques.com)
