SALES CONDUCTED BY MR. O. BERNET AND MR. H. H. PARKE THE CHARMING LEFORTIER COLLECTION ADAME LEFORTIER, so well and favorably known both in Paris and New York for her exquisite taste, has now brought another collection to America for disposal by the American Art Association. There are many important French collections from which objects have been acquired by Madame Lefortier; amongst them the fol- lowing are representative: Prince de Wagram; Madame Rigault; the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt; Princesse Louise de Belgique; the Comte de Rézé; Hamburger; the famous Lebreton; the Chateau de Cormatin, Saone et Loire; the Chateau de Bernonville now occupied by M. Clémenceau, Eure et Loire; Chateau de Bazanville, Calvados, and the de Gournay, Chateau de Coutrevoult. The gathering of beautiful French needlework furniture of the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries is very extensive and of an excep- tionally high order; it includes love seats, banquettes, fauteuils, salon suites, large and small canapés, state chairs, coffrets and screens ; many admirably executed in point St. Cyr, gros- and petit-point, many with the blue backgrounds so difficult to find, but so desirable to-day to fall in with exclusive decorative schemes. Amongst these is a very charming set comprised of a canapé and six fauteuils with Chinese personages displayed on the backs, the seats with animals and birds worked in point St. Cyr and other points, with rare freshness of color. Another set of six needlework grand fauteuils by the famous Parisian XVIIIth century chairmaker F. Geny, illustrating episodes in La Fontaine’s Fables, deserves especial notice, not only for its beauty but for its rarity; six chairs in such fine preservation being exceedingly difficult to discover. The Aubusson, Felletin and Flemish tapestry furniture is of the same period as the needlework, similar in form and with its rich mellow tones and deeper blues and greens forms a charming foil to the livelier needlework. A number of interesting small XVIIIth century tulipwood and other small tables, poudreuses and library tables, two fine commodes and several clocks and porcelains add vastly to the ensemble. One or two Gothic sculptures and a series of early stained glass panels delight with their beautiful rich colors, as does a large array of crimson velvet and tapestry cushions. A unique and dainty collection of over one hundred and fifty French XVIIIth century, old-fashioned stocking-shaped porte- monnaies executed in cut-steel beads, was doubtless hard for Madame Lefortier to part with, for they had been patiently gathered as a personal pleasure during the last fifteen years from almost every nook of France. The point de Flandre and d’Angleterre and filet lace covers are distinguished by their lovely filmy patterns. Amongst the sumptuous textiles and embroideries are several most interesting XVIth century needlepaintings with gold and silver threads, of quaint charm and mellow colors; others of a later date are naturally more brilliant in color, including a marvelous set of late XVIIth cen- tury lambrequins with point St. Cyr figure panels and many others of equal beauty. Embroidered velvets, brocades and damasks give an admirable setting for the important tapestries and lengths of a rare Louis XIII crimson damask amounting to about sixty yards claim attention, for nothing is more difficult to acquire than these early French damasks. Over sixty tapestries and large needlework hangings are on view and range from the mellow-toned verdures with animals and figures of the XVIIth and XVIIIth century Aubusson, Felletin and Flemish to the remarkable Armorial Beauvais after Jean Berain, which is so rich in its crimson, or the arabesque Gobelins with its very lovely back- ground of ravishing sapphire-blue. Two XVIIth century Brussels Teniers tapestries appeal as usual with their fine compositions and amusing subjects. A rarity is a floral and fruit cover in rich colors from the early looms of Paris.
