FERDERICK A. CHAPMAN. NOTE Because of the death of a member of the firm of Ferdinand Keller of Philadelphia, the very fine objects of art here cata- logued are offered to American collectors at unrestricted public sale. Mr. Ferdinand Keller, the head of the firm, is a member of a family that for many years dealt in antiques in Europe. He has not only collected abroad but has long been a frequent visitor to New England and the Southern States in search of Colonial examples of fine furniture and other interesting objects, and he has also bought largely from the old Quaker families of Penn- sylvania. For years his Galleries have been visited by hundreds of collectors from all parts of the country, and particularly by New Yorkers, who have entire confidence in his judgment and integrity. This collection contains rare Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century English furniture, including Jacobean gate-leg tables, extending tables, chairs, and cabinets; the art of Adam, Chip- pendale, Sheraton, and Hepplewhite is represented by many unusually fine specimens; and important Seventeenth and Eigh- teenth Century Flemish Gobelin and Aubusson tapestry panels, many objects in old English and Dutch silver, rich brocades, Italian and Spanish mirrors, and other valuable objects are in- cluded. Special attention should be called to two Chippendale chairs once owned by Washington; a magnificent Spanish cabinet on a carved and gilt Chippendale stand; a fine Georgian mahogany pedestal sideboard; a Martha Washington settee; a set of six shield-back Hepplewhite chairs; a Chippendale pie-crust table; a quaint German Renaissance buffet; embroidered crimson velvet curtains from the Palace of Queen Isabella of Spain; two im- portant paintings; an Eighteenth Century Aubusson tapestry panel, “The Judgment of Paris’, and a Seventeenth Century tapestry, “The Visit of Alexander the Great to Diogenes.” The collection as a whole is of very great interest and im- portance, particularly to those collectors who are in search of unusually rare and valuable objects.
