PARK AVENUE AND FIFTY-NINTH STREET, NEW YORK TELEPHONE PLAZA 93856 SALES CONDUCTED BY MR. FREDERICK A. CHAPMAN AND MR. A. N. BADE a ee ee a ’ 2 ae INTRODUCTION HE collection of the late Mr. Thomas Allen of Boston, here of- fered for sale by order of his heirs, is the collection of a painter Ph had many interests and many sympathies. Mr. Allen was a gradu- _ate of the Royal Academy of Diisseldorf, Germany. He studied in ‘Paris, and exhibited at the Salon. In-1884, after he had returned to _ the United States, he was appointed Associate of the National Academy. | He became closely identified with the art life, not only of Boston, but | of the United States. He served as Judge of Awards at the Field ' Columbian Exposition in 1893. He was chairman of the International | Jury of Awards and of the Jury of the Department of Fine Arts at St. Louis in 1904. He was for many years chairman of the Art Com- mission of the City of Boston and gave long service as trustee of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. A few months before his death he was elected president of the Museum. In New York, too, he had many con- tacts, among them his association with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which he was a fellow in perpetuity. Though his collection reflects broad interests, it is predominat- ingly oriental. Mr. Allen was one of the pioneers in the appreciation of Japanese art in the United States. His friends and contemporaries were men whose names will always be associated with the art of Japan, among them, Denman Ross, Edward S. Morse, Ernest Fenollosa. Things Japanese are nowadays such a familiar story, that it is hard to realize that it is only about seventy years—the span of a man’s life—since Admiral Perry sailed into Uraga Bay to open to the world “unknown Japan’. Not until ten years had passed was Japan safe for the foreigner. It took another decade or so for Paris to discover Japanese art. Forty-odd years ago, when Mr. Allen was a young artist in Paris, interest was high in the art of Japan—the screens, the lacquer work, the cunningly wrought sword mounts, the delicately carved ivories, the porcelains and potteries, the Japanese color prints, so despised in the country of their origin that they had first come to Paris, not as works of art, but as waste-paper used for wrapping porcelains. The interest on which Mr. Allen’s collection was built was stirred to life in Paris. Some of the objects now offered for sale—a few por- celains, unfortunately not now identifiable; some Persian weapons— were bought there in 1881 at a sale of Objets de l’Orient belonging to M. Jules Jacquemart, held at the Hotel Drouot. eroNy ere Back in the United States, Mr. Allen made the acquaintance of another lover of Japanese art, Mr. Edward Greey, an art dealer of the old school, who was also a student of the Japanese language and a literature. ‘Through Mr. Greey the collection of Captain Brinkley was brought to the United States. In 1884, six years before Fenollosa og began his active missionary work in America for the art of J apan, 4 - Captain Brinkley’s Japanese, Chinese and Korean porcelains and pot- teries, through the instrumentality of Mr. Allen, were put on exhibi- 7 tion at the Boston Museum. A year later, the collection was sold by 4 public auction in New York, and at the sale Mr. Allen purchased the greater number of the oriental potteries and porcelains described in 4 this catalogue. The Brinkley collection was made under most auspicious circum- stances. In the year 1871, the feudal system was finally abolished in fi Japan. ‘The daimyos were retired into private life on modest pensions. — q To augment their fortunes, to provide for their retainers, in some cases — perhaps to prove themselves modern by discarding the old, many of them sold their treasures. Paintings, porcelains, the delicately sturdy = potteries used for the Tea Ceremony, ivories, even swords, “the souls of the Samurai”, came on the market. Captain Brinkley, then one of a very few foreigners who understood oriental ceramics, chose well and bought cheaply things which it would be hard to obtain to-day in a Japan fully awakened to the value of her own art—enamelled Imari of the best period, Satsuma of excellent quality, potteries from the most — 1 famous kilns of Japan. Little by little he added to his collection. When it reached New York it contained many rare pieces, a number bearing the signatures of famous potters, not a few carrying with them the prestige of having been part of the collection of the famous Japa- nese connoisseur, Mr. Ninegawa Noritane, and several really fine Chinese specimens. | Mr. Allen secured for himself some of the best pieces of the Brink- ley collection. Later he added to his collection from other sources. The result is an aggregate of Japanese ceramic art such as is rarely found in the hands of a private collector. While the emphasis of the collection is on Japanese pieces, there are a few Chinese potteries and porcelains of exceptional quality. Among them is the perfect mirror-black vase of the Kang-hsi period, Number 671 of the sale, illustrated as the frontispiece to this cata- logue. ‘The cucumber-green bottle of the Chien-lung period, Number 691 of this catalogue, is also an excellent example both in potting and in color, and the Ming blanc-de-chine beaker, Number 670, is well worthy of note. There are also a number of celadons of first quality, and the few Temmoku bowls, subtly modest, are pieces for connoisseurs. The Allen collection is not entirely confined to porcelains, nor in- _ deed to oriental art. Particularly worthy of mention are the Japanese swords with fine mountings. Of these, Numbers 504-549 (with the ex- ception of 519 and 520) carry. with them the certificates of a Japa- nese Official Judge of Swords named Moto-Kawa, in the translation of Mr. Greey, with certain comments on the mountings by Mr. Greey ; these certificates have been followed in making the catalogue. The group of fine 18th century No-Dancer’s masks is also of interest, and one should not overlook, among the minor objects, the delicately carved netsuke and other specimens of glyptic art, some of them bearing well-known signatures. | In the field of textiles, two pieces stand out: one, Number 720, a _ Japanese velvet of the 177th century, notable for its technical perfec- tion, its bold delicacy of design and subtle coloring, and rivalling in quality the famous piece of the Byng collection, Paris, illustrated in LT’Art Japonais; the other, Number 692, a beautiful Brussels verdure tapestry of the 16th century. There are one or two very good pieces of English silver and a few fine old pieces of European furniture. It is, however, primarily as a sale of oriental objects that the Allen collection is offered to the public. Many of the potteries and porcelains have been exhibited in the Boston Museum. ‘Those that still bear the Museum numbers are designated in the catalogue by the words “Boston Museum”. ‘The pieces from the Brinkley sale, where they are identi- fiable, are marked with the name “Brinkley” and the number they bore in the catalogue of the Brinkley sale, which will be exhibited with the objects. In spite of the fact that in certain instances, in the light of recent knowledge, some slight modification might perhaps have been advisable, Captain Brinkley’s dates and attributions have in most cases been followed. | EvizaBeTH TiTzEL ORDER OF SALE 2, °t) Meg tt WEDNE ‘SDAY - AFTERNOON pak Le TWENTY-FIFTH 1- 33 34-732 SE TA-144 + A AL AN 145-200 e As J }} i ~ash - rat ¢ = ie bo 4 vw 5 7 = f = 3 errs ~ AY AFTERNOON.
