PREFACE. This, the second part of the Klauder sale, comprises the cream of the collec¬ tion. While almost every article will appeal to the connoisseur, there are many pieces in the collection which are especially rare. The collection of tea howls and tea jars is probably unique, and each bowl and jar is enclosed in a cover of Japanese cloth of the same period, as the pottery. The collection of inros is one of the most beautiful in the country, comprising about 100 examples of both ancient and modern workmanship. The ivories are unusually fine. The collection of sword guards and ornaments includes a number of exquisite examples, both ancient and modern, in iron, bronze and gold. There are about thirty Chinese and Oriental rugs, including a Rose of Persia, an antique Kermanshah and a number of antique Chinese rugs of Tiger Tooth and other rare patterns. Special note should be made of the lacquers,, including many beautiful examples of this art, in lunch boxes, writing cases, etc. Of single pieces, probably the rarest is a bronze Buddha of heroic size (about ten feet high, including pedestal), which is one of ten, the other nine now being in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This piece and a bronze temple bell are both of ancient workmanship, and beautifully lacquered. There are also two cabinets, one of gold lacquer and one of black lacquer, beautifully carved, which was purchased from the Bishop collection. The Kakemonos, of which there are about thirty, were purchased at the time of the Centennial, before this country was flooded with cheap and spuri¬ ous Japanese goods, and include examples of some of the great masters of Japan. There are also a number of Japanese and Flemish tapestries, some of which are rare and all of which are beautiful. The last day's sale will comprise the modern paintings of the estate, included among which are examples by Karl Daubigny, Michel, Rousseau, William T. Richards, Dietrich , Carl Koss and a number of canvases by other almost equally well known artists. The collection will be on exhibition Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 11th, 12th and 13th.
