THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANT, MR. OTTO BERNET, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MANAGERS MADISON SQUARE SOUTH, NEW YORK O17 ALL DETAILS OF ILLUSTRATION | TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY INTRODUCTORY Gratified and deeply impressed by the marked success of the last year’s sale of my Davanzati Palace and Villa Pia Collections, I returned to Italy charged with a resolution to acquire more of the treasures of the art of the Italian Renaissance which I might offer to American amateurs and connoisseurs. To do this I found it necessary not only to contribute many objects I had myself gathered together in former years but which, for one reason or another, had not been included in my former sale, but also to secure the active co-operation of private collectors and leading dealers throughout Italy. ‘The results of these endeavors, materially aided by my intimate knowledge of the art of the Renais- sance and later periods, are to be seen in the important collection I now offer for the unrestricted public competition of the people of America. The beauty, subtlety and charm of old Italian Furniture have taken a firm hold on the affections of the people of this country, and I accordingly felt that I was acting wisely in sparing neither time, energy nor money in bringing together the most interesting pieces it was possible for me to secure. Nor did I confine myself to any epoch or period. It was my aim to make a compelling showing of the unrivaled skill and ability of Italian furniture-makers of many generations of the fifteenth, six- teenth and seventeenth centuries, and I have, therefore, included many fascinating examples of later schools, such as that of Venice in the eighteenth century. Italian Renaissance Textiles and Embroideries have always been highly regarded, and of this regard their wide dispersal throughout the world has been an obvious consequence. It therefore gives me peculiar pleasure to have brought here a number of early velvets, damasks and embroideries such as, I confidently believe, have never been seen in this country. The Pictures and Sculpture, the Tapestries and Oriental Rugs, the Carvings and Metalwork, as well as the minor articles, have all been selected with a feeling for associative value as well as inherent beauty, and so should convey a very urgent appeal to the students of human nature as well as to those who are chiefly influenced by artistic worthiness. As in my preceding sale, so on this occasion, I have had the ines- timable assistance of Professor Silvio Zanchi of Florence and Mr. Cesare A. Guglielmetti of Rome, as well as Mr. Horace Townsend, | who has so discriminatingly written this catalogue, and to them the sincerest of my thanks are due. Evia Voirt. CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the pur- chasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale shall be a charge against such purchaser. 4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on pre- senting the bill of purchase. Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the pur- chaser. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Association will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 7%, Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imperfection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper foundation. AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, American Art Galleries, Madison Square South, New York City. a ” . . MISCELLANEOUS WORKS OF ART AND UTILITY “Ogetti Vari” or “Various Objects” is the term applied by Pro- fessor Volpi to a section of his collection which will have an especially widespread interest. In its simple comprehensiveness the phrase suggests what is probably the most outstanding feature connected with Italian art of Renaissance times. Not one or two things, but everything, was glorified by the innate love for beauty which guided the hand of its fashioner, and whether it were intended for use or ornament it re-- ceived an equal amount of artistic consideration. So it is, therefore, that the originator of this collection has evidently been as much at- tracted by the skill of the silversmith who wrought the spoons and forks which set forth the table as by the genius of the painters and sculptors who limned the pictures and chiseled the statues which adorned the Salas of the noble sixteenth century Florentines. Nor is his attitude far different from that of the average American lover of beautiful things, and so it is entirely likely that almost as much at- tention will be attracted by some graceful torchére of wrought iron, some marvelously ciselé casket of silver and bronze, some plaque or inkstand of cast bronze, as by the Textiles, the Furniture and the Pic- tures which form a more important feature of this collection.

TEXTILES, EMBROIDERIES AND RUGS As the center of the world’s luxury, which there attained a pitch undreamed of since the days of the Byzantine Empire, [Italy of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was the home of shimmering silken and velvet stuffs and the ultimate glories of the art of the needle. From the days when Roger II of Sicily brought Oriental weay- ers and embroiderers to Palermo, the art spread over the whole coun- try until in Renaissance times there was no town too small to have its Bottega devoted to the activities of weavers and needleworkers. The Popes, the Venetian Doges, the Dukes of Florence, Milan and Ferrara encouraged the art with constant and liberal orders, while distinguished artists, such as Raphael and Perino del Vaga, thought it not inconsistent with their dignity to draw designs for the em- broiderers. Within the last quarter of a century, however, the awakening consciousness of collectors to this wealth of beauty and decorative value has led to the dispersal throughout the world of a vast ma- jority of these cut velvets, silken damasks and elaborate embroid- eries, which were at one time a commonplace of Italian life. It is, therefore, the more remarkable that Professor Volpi has been able to bring to us so characteristic a showing of Textiles, for it.is at least doubtful if more important examples of the sixteenth century Italian looms have been, at one time, offered to American collectors. Regarding the small collection of rugs, it must be remembered that it was through Italy that Europe of Renaissance times was brought into touch with the near East, and it was the Italians who first perceived and appreciated the beauty of the Turkish and Persian floor-coverings. As early as the middle of the fifteenth century Bartolo painted one in a picture now in Siena, and though one type of sixteenth century Asia Minor rug is known as the Holbein, it is on the pictures of the Italian, rather than of the Northern Masters, that we more frequently find them. These rugs of Professor Volpi’s, then, have a twofold interest. Not only are they strikingly beautiful examples of the earlier Oriental looms, but each one of them has spent long centuries of service in the Palace or Villa of some Italian of high degree. | Ea SECOND AFTERNOON’S SALE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1917 AT THE AMERICAN ART GALLERIES BEGINNING AT 2.30 O'CLOCK Catalogue Nos. 168 to 344, inclusive 168—SEVENTEENTH CrenTuRY IraLiAn SILK TABLE Cover 7 @ Rectangular shape.

Modeled in low relief with a subject of the Virgin, Child Christ and St. John the Baptist. The Virgin in red robe and with a halo supports on her right arm, and on a fold of checkered drapery, the nude Child Christ, and guides His right arm with His hand uplifted in the act of blessing. She looks downward as does the Christ on the infant St. John the Baptist, with his symbolic cross, who occupies the lower . left-hand corner of the bas-relief. Above, in the upper cor- | ners, are two cherubim with many wings. The charm of thee Fpter, ! Jbbo- example of fifteenth century modeling lies not so much in the : expression of the Madonna’s face with its brooding melancholy as in the varying types of childhood shown in the Child Christ, the St. John and the two cherubim. In a contemporary frame of carved and gilded wood, with molded cornice, frieze deco- rated with a dotted design of circular medallions and scrollings, supporting fluted pilasters and molded base. Height of bas-relief, 20 inches; width of bas-relief, 16 inches. Height of frame, 34 inches; width of frame, 31 inches. : Note: Of the three Maiani brothers, Benedetto was from all ac- counts the most eminent as a sculptor. As this surpassingly lovely study, no less than that masterpiece, his pulpit in Santa Croce, shows, the high repute in which his contemporaries held him was worthily attained. It is a study for a marble sculpture known by repute but at present non- existent and has received the high praise of acknowledged experts, documents to which effect are in the possession of Professor Volpi.

(Illustrated) “PoRTRAIT OF VENETIAN AMBASSADOR” retto) (By Jacopo Robusti—called Jl Tinto TAPESTRIES Despite the admirable work of the tapestry-weavers of Fer- rara and Florence, it is nevertheless unquestionable that the art of tapestry-making was never thoroughly acclimatized in Italy. That the rooms of the Roman, Florentine and Venetian Palaces were hung with these unrivaled wall-coverings, however, is equally beyond all question, and hence it is that during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the ateliers of Flanders and France found a ready market for their wares in the southern community. It follows, then, that though the tapestries here catalogued have for centuries hung on Italian walls, though more than one was. woven after the design of an Italian painter, they were, with few exceptions, actually woven in other countries and that, therefore, by adoption only are they Italian.
