But what’s the use? The pictorial treasures of Carl Rob- ert Lamm not only include specimens by Rembrandt and Rubens but. by Franz Hals, Sir Anthony Vandyck ‘and Many others of the very great. These ‘paintings, with the brilliant collection of antique silver, rare rugs and armor, come from Mr. Lamm’s old castle of Nasby, near Stockholm, which for a long time has been a place of pilgrim- age for Swedish art lovers, Mr. Lamni, with his wife, whose father and brother were curators of museums, have spent thitry years in forming it, and with singular success.

There are many weapons of the greatest rarity. For instance, there is a sword with a 1680 Toledo blade. There are halberds and spontoons from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and an entire suit of Japanese armor of the seventeenth century. e The rugs are not the least important feature of the collection and contain at least fourteen that may be called ex- | traordinary.

DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES ete DIR ~ ALL DETAILS OF pant ae TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY: — iS REGARDING THE LAMM COLLECTION ; 749 Fifth Avenue. AMERICAN ArT AssociaTION 30 East 57th Street, New York City. Dear Sirs: Although many interesting and important art collec- tions have come from the Old World to the New: although many who have come to these shores to make this their home, have brought with them all of their hereditary and valued household possessions, it has sel- dom if ever happened that the entire contents of a great and famous European palace have been brought to this country to be here dis- ‘posed of, either by private treaty or public sale. While in Stockholm last October, my advice was sought by Mr. Carl Robert Lamm, the present owner of Nasby Slott, at Roslags Nasby, Sweden, as to whether or not, the great art-loving public of the United States would appreciate and purchase his widely known collection of paintings, rugs, fabrics, armor, furniture, bronzes, silver and numerous other objects that furnished, and were housed in, this wonderful old castle, about twenty-five miles north of Stockholm. : A visit to Nasby Slott, and an examination of its contents, con- vinced me that the collection was truly a remarkable one, and that the general character of it was such as to appeal to many American art lovers, both by reason of its quality and variety. It is thus that Mr. and Mrs. Lamm have entrusted me with the dispersal of their collection, and that I in turn have consigned it to you, the American Art Association, for public sale under your man- agement, and in accordance with the usual terms and conditions of your sales. Nasby Slott was built in the year 1665-1666 for Count Peder Larsson Sparre by Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, the architect, who soon thereafter built the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Living way up in the North, in this splendid old castle on the shores of the Baltic, surrounded by acres of his own ground, with his own farms and his own villages, Mr. Lamm has spent thirty beautiful and romantic years, gathering from all corners of the earth such treasures and works of art as appealed to his taste and his imagination. It was never his aim to form a collection of one kind of art, or the art of one nation or period, for his enthusiasm was too great and his interests too varied to permit of such limitations. In forming his collection he was prompted largely by the impulse to surround himself with all that was beautiful and by the profound desire to understand countries and ages other than his own. So he lived and worked with his art treasures around him, and in his spare hours he delved into their histories and studied their beauties. As in all great collections that express the collector’s progress, there is much that is below the standard and unworthy of the high merit of his later purchases. For Mr. Lamm, even more than most, became a student as well as a lover of art, and as his knowledge grew, his en- thusiasm and ardor increased, and thus his collection was constantly enriched by the acquisition of finer and finer objects. Few men are as fortunate as Mr. Lamm in having so sympathetic and interested a helpmate, and one who so thoroughly shares his enthusiasm as does Mrs. Lamm. The daughter and the sister of museum curators, she has not only enjoyed an art education from her youth, but has herself developed much taste and discrimination. Among others in their artistic circle may be mentioned, as a close friend for many years, and one who has much assisted Mr. Lamm in his selections, Dr. Frederick Martin, the well-known art expert, and author of the great work entitled: “A History of Oriental Carpets before 1800.” Many of the paintings, rugs and art objects have been shown at important exhibitions in London and Paris, and several were repro- duced in the catalogue of the Munich Exhibition of Mohammedan Art in 1910, and other publications of note. Of the rugs, nine are de- scribed and reproduced in Dr. Martin’s book. Much of the furniture and silver in the collection, and many of the clocks and bronzes, represent France of the eighteenth century in all her glory. As a result of the very cordial and friendly relations that existed between Gustavus III and Louis XVI, Sweden accepted and delighted in French culture of the time. Through this friendly intercourse between the two nations, a great deal of fine French art found its way into Sweden, and the taste of that country still reflects the dominating influence of eighteenth century France. The large assemblage of arms and armor, and the interest which it never fails to arouse in that land of the descendants of the Vikings, is truly a relic of feudalism, and the age when Sweden was one of the greatest fighting powers the world has ever known. Rembrandt heads the list of famous painters represented by ex- amples in the Lamm Collection, and this picture is doubly inter- esting because it is a well-known self portrait of that greatest of masters in the prime of his youth, glowing with warmth and vitality. It dates from about the same period as the self portrait in Mrs. Gard- ner’s Collection in Boston, and shows a more mature subject than a number of self portraits of earlier dates in the Hague Museum, and other public and private collections. Its unquestionable authenticity and its high artistic merit are not only attested by Dr. Bode, Dr. Valentiner and other Bees but also by the fact of its being of that period before the many contemporaries and followers of Renneait were so influenced by his style of painting as to produce many can- vases which undoubtedly have been and are now erroneously considered the work of the great master’s own hand. The painting was in British possession for many years, and was acquired by Mr. Lamm from the estate of the late R. B. Berens of London. Rembrandt’s famous contemporary and countryman, Frans Hals, is represented by the portrait of a woman dressed in luminous black, with a white ruff and cuffs, and wearing a small lace cap. The back- ground, of light mahogany color, lends charm to the figure, which ‘Stands out with dignity and self-possession. The beautiful simplicity of the woman’s pose and the position of her hand is typical of the master’s work. Although painted around 1616, when the artist was in his thirty-seventh year, it is, according to Hofstede de Groot, one of the earliest of Hals ‘‘chef-d’ccuvres” that has come down to us. There are five Rubens canvases of various types and sizes. The portrait of a young man, painted between 1614 and 1615, deserves special mention as one of the most vigorous and finished products of the artist’s brush, and one of his most successful male portraits. Of the three important examples of Rubens’s no less famous pupil, Anton Van Dyck, perhaps the most interesting historically is the por- trait of Paulus Pontius, the artist whose name we associate chiefly with his excellent engravings after paintings by Van Dyck, and with a number of portraits which Van Dyck etched of him. “The Death of the Virgin,” by Lucas Cranach, is most interesting in its conception and beautiful in color, with its gold background and fabrics of Gothic design. Bernard Striegel, the early German artist, and contemporary of Diirer, whose work is extremely rare, is represented by the portrait of a young nobleman, dated 1502. Dr. Friedlander, of the Kaiser -Friederich Museum in Berlin, declared it to be of unusual value because of its early date, the museum having no example of his work of that period. No Swedish collection is complete without examples of its greatest artist of this generation, the late Anders Zorn, and here he is found, not only in two notable oils, one of which he personally declared to be the best he ever did, but also in three etchings, of which one, pre- sented to Mr. Lamm by the artist himself, is so rare as to have it said that there is but one other copy in existence. Besides those already mentioned, the splendid examples by great masters whose works are both rare and valuable are too numerous to be described individually, for they include canvases of many countries and periods. Among the tapestries there are several of unusual importance and charm. A seventeenth century Brussels pastoral tapestry, with landscape and figures of exceptionally fine weave, is signed “M. de Vos,” and bears the Brussels mark on the selvedge. A splendidly preserved early sixteenth century Arras Gothic Verdure, with leaves, wild animals and flowers, and complete border of fruit and flower design, is still bright in color and of desirable size and proportions. 7 A magnificent French tapestry, woven at the Gobelins factory in Paris around 1712 by J. Souet, represents the month of October. and is one of a set of twelve months woven for Louis XIV, similar to those made for the Infante Ferdinand of Portugal around 1530, after cartoons of Lucas Van Leyden, which are known as “Les Mois dit de Lucas.” This particular tapestry was presented by Louis XIV to the Swedish ambassador at his court, Count Sparre, through whom it became the property of Queen Louisa Ulrica of Sweden. Aside from its historic interest, it is of rare importance, for it is so well preserved and so beautiful in color that one can still appreciate each gradation of tone as it was originally executed. Very unusual is the huge Brussels tapestry table cover of the early seventeenth century, with its gay detached sprays of flowers and butterflies on a blue-black field, and its center medallion depicting the “Angel’s Visit to Abraham.” A beautiful pair of sixteenth century Arras tapestry cushions were made for Charles [X when Dauphin of France. Among the many pieces of signed eighteenth century French fur- niture, perhaps the finest is the important inlaid tulipwood upright secrétaire, mounted with cuivre doré, and signed by the great “Ebéniste du Roi,” Jean Francois Oeben. No less interesting is the remarkably fine inlaid tulipwood writing table which has the unusual distinction of having both the cabinet work and the mountings signed. The signature of Pierre Bernard, “Maitre Ebéniste,” is found on the top of the left-hand drawer, while C. P., presumably Philippe Cafferi, is responsible for the splendidly sculptured mounts. Of unusual beauty is the richly inlaid Louis XV tulipwood com- mode, with its serpentine front of perfect proportions, and elaborately mounted in cutvre doré in the style of Cafferi. This piece comes from the collection of the Chateau de Courbiéres, Haute Loire, France. A pair of inlaid tulipwood Encoignures are delightful examples of the work of the “Maitre Ebéniste,” G. Jansen, and illustrate the French genius in furnishing the corners of a room. There are four Régence carved walnut fauteuils, splendidly uphol- stered in the original petit- and gros-point, and many state and side chairs covered in brocade, needlework, tapestry and_ illuminated leather. | Of the Louis XIV period there are a number of very fine inlaid kingwood Commodes mounted in cutvre doré, and topped with slabs of ‘Rouge Royal” marble. One of the best of these is signed I. B. Fromageval. It is hardly possible to find a better or more typical example of French Renaissance furniture than the superb cabinet, reminiscent of the work of Jean Goujon. Dr. von Falke of the “Kunstgewerbe Museum” in Berlin has written about it. A unique specimen of the finest Syro-Damascan carving of the fifteenth century is the cypress-wood door, which has been reproduced and described both by Dr. Ernest Diez of Vienna and Dr. Frederick Martin of Stockholm. The rugs in the Lamm Collection are by no means the least impor- tant feature of it, for there are not less than fourteen of extraordinary type, and supreme beauty. Perhaps the earliest is a Kouba, or Dragon Carpet, from Eastern Asia Minor,-with a lustrous ruby-red field fluc- tuating to a deep rose as its predominating color, but including many _ others, in superbly delicate shades. Experts disagree as to the date of this rug, and their opinions vary from the middle of the thirteenth to the early fifteenth century. All, however, agree as to its beauty and rarity. An Imperial Ispahan seventeenth century Marine Carpet, with a central diamond medallion and boats, is so rare that in Persia it is said that the possession of it is punishable by death. Probably unique in color and type is the Ispahan, late seventeenth century, sapphire-blue Garden Carpet, of a rare design simulating gay flower-beds, fountains, canals and drifting boats. The sixteenth century Persian flowered cartouche carpet has long, arched stems of hyacinths sweeping down its entire length, and is bril- liant in color and splendid in design. All four of these rugs are reproduced in Dr. Martin’s book: “A History of Oriental Carpets before 1800,” and mentioned in A. F. Kendrick’s book entitled: ‘Handwoven Carpets, Oriental and Euro- pean.” There are a number of miscellaneous objects of particular interest. A rare sixteenth century Italian cuivre doré lock, hasp and key show superb workmanship and excellent modeling of the figures. One of the earliest European bronzes in the collection is a fine group of “Neptune and the Marine Monster,” by Adrien de Vries (1560-1627). An exquisite example of seventeenth century German workman- ship is the Augsburg cuivre doré and crystal clock, supported on the head of a kneeling Atlas and surmounted by the standing figure of St. John the Baptist. A folding shrine, painted with scenes from the life of Christ, is concealed in the foot, and signed “Wilhelm Zoller.” It comes from the collection of Count Raoul Hamilton, Oversholm, Skane, Sweden. A rare specimen of sixteenth century rock crystal is the small ewer, with episodes from the life of Neptune, and mounted in gilded silver. The amateurs of French art will delight in two beautiful cusvre doré and marble candlesticks of the Régence period which are exqui- sitely chiseled and of the highest quality. A beautifully modeled gilded bronze group, in the form of a chubby cupidon reclining and slumbering on the back of a dolphin, is by Nicolas Couston (French, 1650-1733). A pair of alabaster vases, with the finest cwivre doré mounts, are in the manner of Gouthiére, and show the Louis XVI style in its noblest form. Worthy of special attention is an imposing and unusual pair of French eighteenth century bronze, cutvre doré and marble candlesticks from the collection of Count Stenbock of Sweden, who inherited them from Princess Sophia Albertina, sister of King Gustavus III. Regal and of great value are the two cutvre doré French vases of the Louis XVI period, with another, somewhat larger, fitted with a clock by Nils Berg, Stockholm. There is an identical vase, slightly smaller, in the Royal Swedish Collection. A splendid example of the simpler type of Louis XVI ¢lock is one of bronze and cutvre doré, with a green bronze cupidon, of which the dial is signed: “Courvoisier a Paris.” Both artistically and historically the cuivre doré mounted marble clock by Barancourt is an item of the first importance. This fine timepiece was presented by the Emperor Napoleon to Marshal Ney, and is inscribed on the ball under the eagle at the top: “A M. Ney par L’Empereur.” The silver includes pieces both for collection and utility, and dates from the sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. Regal and imposing are the two large silver tureens and covers which are monogrammed and dated 1794, and come from the Royal Danish House, of which they bear the crest. | Of extremely rare quality is the important French silver coffee- pot made by Jacques Léger in Paris in 1690. Very fine, too, is the pair of eighteenth century French, urn- shaped silver “réchauffeurs” bearing the maker’s monogram and other marks of identification. Of great rarity and importance is the thirteenth century Mosul silver inlaid bronze candlestick, with medallions of royal figures inter- rupting minutely scrolled Cufic inscriptions, of which the letters at the top all terminate with human heads. It is signed on the interior lip, and was exhibited and reproduced in the catalogue of the Munich Exhibition of Mohammedan Art in 1910. A Pentelic marble water jar, which is Arabic of the fourteenth century, is very interesting with its band of ornamental Cufic inscrip- tions, and is most graceful in form. There are many splendid examples of European and Japanese textiles, but perhaps the most unusual in the collection are several pieces of Persian origin. Three very long Ispahan sixteenth century gold brocade table covers, woven of the pure metal thread and colored silks, are very beautiful and extremely rare. There are also a number of very fine sixteenth century Asia Minor velvet panels, of which one of the most interesting has a design in red and soft green on a cream ground. The extensive collection of ancient European and Oriental fire- arms, weapons and armor dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century includes a remarkable gathering of Japanese, Persian and European helmets, and many rare halberds, spontons, swords, guns, daggers, maces, stirrups and spurs which the owner has procured from famous European collections during years of study and searching. And thus, with this wealth of material, Nasby Slott became a great show place in Sweden, and was enjoyed by many visitors, from their Majesties, the King and Queen of Sweden, to the simple peasants and villagers living on its domains. Great was the country’s regret, as expressed through its daily newspapers, when it became known that the collection was being taken to America, and would be lost to the nation forever. To have packed the entire contents of an ancient Swedish castle ; to have these valuable contents transported, shipped, received, exam- ined and catalogued, all in a little over three months, has been no easy task, but I am confident that with their presentation and display in your very beautiful and remarkably conducted American Art Galleries, and your subsequent management of the sale, you will neither disap- point Mr. Lamm nor shake his great confidence in the American public, which he has expressed by offering to it his acquisitions of a lifetime. Faithfully yours, (Signed ) RutH TEscHNER. January 22, 1923. CONDITIONS OF SALE __1.

C. December 15, 1922. Cart Rozerr Lamm, Esquire, Nasby Slott, Roslags Nasby, Sweden. My Dear Mr. Lamm: His Excellency, Minister Morris, at a public dinner a few days after his arrival in this country from his post in Stockholm, stated that Sweden had met with the misfortune of losing forever the fine pictures, tapestries, rugs, armor and other artistic objects which, for so many years, have furnished your home at Nasby, and which have given so many of us both pleasure and education in viewing. To be sure, as Minister Morris said, “What is Sweden’s loss is America’s gain,” and I have no doubt that the homes of many of America’s well-to-do will be made more beautiful by their acquisitions from your treasures when Miss Teschner, who I have heard has brought the collection from Sweden with her, offers it for sale, which, I am told, will happen shortly. At the same time, it is unfortunate that we can no longer have the pleasure of enjoying this collection as such, and more particularly that we can no longer see it in our own dear country. May all be well with you, and now that definite plans have been made for the dispersal of your property, may it be attended with all success. Faithfully yours, (Signed) AxEL WALLENBERG.
