THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, MR. OTTO BERNET AND MR. H. H. PARKE OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, Manacers NEW YORK 1919 1449 Dec.? Ne Am ¢ fe FIG ie 2 es THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIA’ * a fe PARES COLLECTION Mr. Emile Pares, Antiquarian of Paris and New York, has con- signed to the American Art Association to be sold under its invariable terms of an unrestricted and unprotected public sale, the extensive stock of Antique Furniture, Textiles, Tapestries, Primitive and Early Paintings, Bronzes, Sculptured Architectural Objects in many mediums and numerous minor Works of Art from his late New York galleries at 20 East Fifty-fifth Street, and has also sent from Paris his personal collection. of extremely rare and costly Textiles, Tapestries, Ecclesias- tical Vestments and Needlework, gathered privately during years of patient traveling in many corners of Europe or bought at opportune moments from such noted Old World collections as the Comte de Chaves, Madrid, The Goyena of Seville, the Duque de Osuna, the de Lesseps, Gauthier, Besseliere, Pecquinot, Le Roy and the Duchesse de Trévise of Paris, the De Goncourt of Chateau Vierville-sur-Mer and the famous artists Fortuny and Flameng. The Sale is to be held by reason of the retirement of M1. Pares from business and the relinquishment of his New York establishment. Numerous important objects discovered and sold by Mr. Pares now enrich public and private museums of America. The late Mr. Pierpont Morgan acquired, amongst others, the “Famous Treasure of Granada,” consisting of a gold necklace and two bracelets beautifully wrought with Cloisonne enamels in the Fourteenth Century; a “Baiser de Paix magnificently enamelled by Nardon Pencaud and a pair of Hispano-Moresque Cloisonné Stirrups” of Fifteenth Century work- manship, formerly used by the famous Boabil, the last Moorish King of Spain. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a Fifteenth Century Flemish Retable of Sculptured Alabaster and a Sandstone Retable, ihe pendant to one now to be sold; the latter came from the Twelfth Century Cathedral Church of Zamora, Spain. Others who have availed themselves of this antiquarian’s discrimination are Mr. Wid- ener of Philadelphia, Mrs. Gardiner of Boston, Mr. Larz Anderson of Washington, Mr. Frick of New York, The Museum of Fine Arts, Bos- ton, the Hispanic Museum, New York and abroad, the Museums of Budapest, Lyons, Berlin and many distinguished private patrons. The collections now to be sold are of such a wide and interest- [2 ing range that it is impossible to refer individually to the many im- portant items. The furniture includes Spanish, Italian and French of the Fourteenth to late Kighteenth Centuries, with occasional speci- mens of Portuguese and English. Spanish furniture is very adequately represented, many Refectory tables, numerous Renaissance and earlier chairs of decorative and useful type, Gilded Columns, Brackets, Small Tables and Ivory Inlaid Cabinets. Two carved Bois de Fer Four- post Beds and two sets of Leather Chairs of Royal Portuguese origin are quaint and rich in aspect and exceptionally attractive for a large country house. French furniture, ranging from the Fifteenth Century Gothic, with four important Carved Oak Stalls of great distinction, two from the Catedrale d’Oloron St. Marie, France, to the Directoire Period, and embracing cabinets and chairs of the early Renaissance. The Eighteenth Century brought a degree of comfort and live- ableness unknown to the furniture of previous centuries, and the genius of the French cabinet-makers invested even the simplest ob- jects of that golden age with unusual artistic merit; amongst the very useful pieces of furniture are Fifty Small Tables, numerous Cabinets, Bonheur-du-jour, Mounted Inlaid Tulip-wood Secretaries, Commodes and Encoignures, Carved Walnut Salon Suites, and forty or more rare Petit-point Chairs, Canapés, Chaise-longues and Screens so very acceptable with their rich colorings and quaint conceits of pattern. The Tapestries are of importance, especially on accornt of their general high average of decorative power and delightful color; Gothic Arras, Italian, Flemish, Royal Aubusson and Brussels of the Four- teenth to Eighteenth Centuries in Cantonnieres, large and small panels, several woven with gold and silver threads. The Aubussons are of fine tonal quality, mostly with small scale figures so adaptable to present day rooms. Irom the Goldschmidt Collection, Avignon, France, is a small Gothic Arras Panel “Charles VI En Roi Sauvage,” one of the most interesting specimens of early weaving that has ever been offered at public sale. Another unique panel from the Gaulthier Collection, Paris, “A Dolorosa” given to the very early Italian Period, is lavishly woven with gold threads amid extremely delicate coloring and betrays a rare devotional feeling. Abundant specimens of old French, Spanish and Italian Damasks, Brocades and Ceremonial Tassels in serviceable condition and beau- tiful colorings, include several Lampas Panels drawn by that Hight- eenth Century French textile genius, Lasalle; two large Italian Crim- son Damask Coverlets and several unique animal examples of wonder- ful Fifteenth Century Hispano-Moresque craftsmanship. The sump- tuous Venetian, Gothic, Jardiniére and Genoese Velvets, magnificent Renaissance Gold Embroidered Velvet Ecclesiastical Vestments and Banners display a fascinating variety of lovely, shimmering colors, Sapphire and Azure Blue, Amethyst, Amber, Botticelli and other Greens, Black, Purple and endless tones of Rose Crimson, enlivened in many instances with drap d’or, d’argent and scarce bouclé motives. There are rare old French, Italian and English Needlework Pic- tures and Petit-point Panels. Spanish and Italian Embroidered Linen and Filet Lace Table Covers, Coverlets and Lattice Curtains and vari- ous Highteenth Century Cottage Chintzes. | Ancient Hispano-Moresque, Talavera and Alcora Polychrome Faience Tiles eminently distinguished in color and device, are in sufficient quantities to give more than a passing note to the fireplace, fountain or architectural objects that absorb them. The very important Medieval and Renaissance architectural ob- jects in Faience, Stucco, Terra Cotta, Bronze, Sculptured Marble, Stone and Wood are of extraordinary importance and extremely rare. The Sculptures include two significant examples in marble, Fif- teenth Century Spanish Gothic, Recumbent Figure of a Governor of the Balearic Isles, from the Eglesia Logrono, Province of Rioja, Spain; in stone, a Fourteenth Century Gothic Niche, supporting al- most life-size figures of the Virgin and Child, in polychrome, a re- markable early sculpture found in the Eglesia San Vincente, Zamora, Spain; a Gothic niche, perfect in its beautiful tracery and proportion, from the Cathedral of Louvain, a Renaissance Hauteville Stone Man- tel from the de Goncourt Chateau. In wood there are thirty to forty supremely interesting Byzan- tine, Gothic and Renaissance groups, statues and statuettes, mostly gilded polychrome, sculptured panels, Hispano-Moresque Portals and Doors and a Grand Gothic Tabernacle. Greek and Roman Antiquities are comprised of several remark- able Bronzes discovered in Spain on the estate of the Comte de Chaves, and a Roman Mosaic in rare condition exhumed in Tunis. Antique objects in Brass and Forged Iron, acceptable for their decorative value, are represented by several fine Spanish Brasseros, Wall Appliques, a Gothic Weather Vane and several Potences, one of the latter has the old pulleys and hook for its original deadly pur- pose, that of taking the place of the nearest tree. Amongst the Ancient Arms are a number of beautifully propor- tioned “Early Model Cannon” mainly from the studio of Poilpot, the French painter; a few inlaid Fusils, French Swords and a group of noteworthy Sixteenth Century Spanish Rapiers from the Duque de Ossuna’s Collection. A group of Primitives and Early Paintings of the Spanish, Italian, Flemish and Dutch Schools include several interesting examples by Barossa, Madonna and Child by Adrien Isenbrandt,of Kautferman, El Greco, Zurbaran and several Fifteenth Century Italian examples. Many of the Decorative Canvases of the Seventeenth and Hight- eenth Centuries will be found very desirable to complement the fur- niture of those periods; the same may be said of the Chinese and French Porecelains, Miniatures, Fans, Small Bronzes, Ivories, Enamels, Lustred Plaques and a multitude of small objects that give a pleasant atmosphere where antique furnishings prevail. The dispersal of these extensive collections will afford an un- usual opportunity to Museums and private collectors to acquire ob- jects of extraordinary interest and importance.
