Lot 553
Antique camphor wood sea chest 1850 and most probably American. Of tapered form for stability and with an alarmed lock which strikes a bell when the key is turned - thus alerting the owner or anyone else within earshot that that there is a thief about. Locks of this nature were available, especially, for sea chests in those days but this is the first we have owned so it can be considered a very rare feature.

Its conversion to a table lamp has not damaged it in the slightest as no extraneous holes have been drilled. Parts unscrewed in order to allow the passage of the flex have been kept and could, if desired be re-instated. A truly historic piece that is both functional and decorative....

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese, 1839-1892). "Study for Woodcut #12". Pen and ink drawing. c1880s. Translucent Gampi (Washi/Rice/Mulberry) paper affixed at the corners to a semi-opaque, handmade, laid paper. Composed with black and cinnebar inks. Very good condition; the black spots visible on the jpg are on the support sheet, not the drawing, the Gambi paper being translucent. Provenance: Wittenborn Art Books, New York City. Overall size: 10 3/4 x 7 in. (273 x 178 mm). Image size: 9 5/8 x 6 1/8 in. (244 x 156 mm). Drawings by Yoshitoshi are very scarce. This drawing came from a hand bound album of drawings and sketches, with Yoshitoshi’s name and date inscribed, not in his hand, on the first leaf (please see images). The date is written “the 27th year of Meiji period, Oct. 10th.” The 27th year of the Meiji is the year 1894, two years after the Artist’s death. The album is hand bound and had many blank pages. In addition, the final non-blank pages are colored around the drawings with cinnabar, clearly by the artist. Hence while the album could have been assembled after his death, the more likely probability is that it was bound by the Artist and became a working album, which he continually added to over the years. He is also known as Taiso Yoshitoshi, Yoshitoshi Taiso, and Tsukioka Kinzaburo Yoshitoshi. [25341-2-400]

Arthur Beecher Carles (American, 1882-1952). "Flower in the Woods". Oil on canvas. c1914. Signed lower left. Good condition; old repair upper right. Image size: 28 x 22 in. (711 x 559 mm). Art historian Barbara Ann Boese Wolanin describes Carles as a link between Philadelphia and Paris, and as "one of the most brilliant colorists in the history of American art." She says of him: "His paintings range in style from tonalism and Impressionism to prophecies of Abstract expressionism. His approach was intuitive. An expressionist by nature, he was guided by feeling, believing that 'accuracy is an intellectual quality while art is an affair of the emotions'". Carles, an American Modernist painter, studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts between 1900 and 1907 with Thomas Pollock Anshutz, Hugh Breckenridge, Henry McCarter, Cecilia Beaux, and William Merritt Chase. In 1907 he traveled to France where he remained until 1910. In France, he greatly admired the works of Cézanne and Matisse, and became close friends with John Marin and Eduard Steichen. He displayed six landscapes in the Salon d'Automne of 1908. In March 1910 his work was included in the “Younger American Painters” show held at Alfred Stieglitz’s New York gallery, 291. Stieglitz gave Carles his first one-man show at 291 in January 1912. He returned to France from June to October 1912 and exhibited at the 1912 Salon d'Automne. After his return to America he exhibited at the Armory Show of 1913. [27871-10-8000]
