Lot 229

A D. José (1750-1777) Portuguese silver plaque, 1768. Chiselled and partly-gilt decoration representing Pentecost. Signed and dated at the front “Ludovicus Jozephy fecit in Ulyssipone anno 1768” and at the back “Luis Jozé de Almeida a fez em Lxª 1768”. The silver work is exceptionally executed in relief showing Our Lady in the throne surrounded by the Apostles and Mary Magdalene, above the group the descent of the Holy Spirit as a dove throwing flames is surrounded by stars; architectonic ground in perspective. Rocaille silver frame with floral, shell and architectonic motifs and two reserves: one at the base with the inscription: “REGINA APOLOLORUM” and the one at the top with a royal crown in gold. Silk lined rosewood frame. (minor defects, minor bruises and the cross of the crown is missing) Note: Originally this plaque might be part of a silver lined piece of furniture as was usual at the 18th century, possibly a church tabernacle. For its exceptional characteristics of design and execution stressed by the presence of the royal crown this work is surely a royal commission. In our opinion this plaque might be part of the commission for the Capela Real da Ajuda. At S. João Baptista’s chapel in S. Roque’s church, Lisbon a mosaic by Mattia Moreti after card by Agostino Massucci (1691-1758) depicts a very similar scene. Luis José de Almeida is mentioned in SANTOS e Irene Quilhó, Reynaldo dos “Ourivesaria Portuguesa nas Colecções Particulares”, pp. 268 and 272. Provenance: Late Pedro Costa Collection Placa D. José em prata portuguesa do séc. XVIII, 1768 Prata relevada, cinzelada e parcialmente dourada representando Pentecostes. Assinada e datada na frente “Ludovicus Jozephy fecit in Ulyssipone anno 1768” e no verso “Luis Jozé de Almeida a fez em Lxª 1768”. A cena está excepcionalmente executada em relevo com Nossa Senhora entronada, rodeada pelos Apóstolos e Maria Madalena, sobre este grupo desce o Espírito Santo em forma de pomba cuspindo línguas de fogo e rodeado de estrelas, fundo arquitectónico em perspectiva. Enquadrada por moldura rocaille repuxada, cinzelada e gravada com motivos vegetalistas, concheados, frisos arquitectónicos e duas reservas: uma na base com a inscrição “REGINA APOLOLORUM” e outra no topo com coroa real em ouro cinzelado. Moldura em pau-santo forrada a seda adamascada. (pequenos sinais de uso e mínimas amolgadelas, falta da cruz da coroa) Nota: Originalmente esta placa poderia fazer parte de um móvel forrado a prata, como era usual no séc. XVIII, possivelmente de um sacrário. Pelas suas excepcionais características de desenho e execução reforçadas ainda pela presença da coroa real que encima toda a cena esta obra é seguramente uma encomenda real. Em nossa opinião esta peça poderá ter feito parte da encomenda da Capela da Ajuda. Na Capela de S.João Baptista na Igreja de S. Roque existe um mosaico de Mattia Moretti representando uma cena muito semelhante segundo óleo de Agostino Massucci (1691-1758). Luís José de Almeida é referenciado in SANTOS e Irene Quilhó, Reynaldo dos “Ourivesaria Portuguesa nas Colecções Particulares”, pp. 268 e 272. Proveniência: Antiga Colecção Pedro Costa. 38x22 cm (prata)

Bank of the United States. Manuscript agreement to purchase 35 Subscriptions. December 9th, 1791. 20.5cm x 8cm. Issued to Daniel C. Verplanck. $135 per subscription. Payable December 26th, 1791. Signed by Bernard Hart, one of the original signers of the Buttonwood Agreement. VF-EF. The text reads as follows:"On the twenty sixth day of Dec. Inst I promise to receive from Daniel C. Verplank Esq or order Thirty Subscriptions to the Bank of the United States & to Pay him or order at the rate of one hundred & thirty five Dollars per Subscrip New York Dec. 9th 1791." Signed Bernard Hart.Bernard Hart (1764-1855): There were five Jews among the signers of the Buttonwood Agreement - Benjamin Seixas, Ephraim Hart, Bernard Hart, Isaac M. Gomez, and Alexander Zuntz, a Hessian soldier who had worked for the British during the American Revolution.Bernard Hart came to New York from Bavaria in 1780. He became a successful businessman, an active member of the Jewish Synagogue, a member of the Black Friar's Society, the House of Lords, and the St. George's Society. Hart was a partner in the firm of Lispenard & Hart. He married Zipporah Seixas, the daughter of one of the other Jewish signers of the Buttonwood Agreement, Benjamin Seixas.Bank of United States "Scrips" (Subscriptions)In December 1790 Alexander Hamilton asked Congress to incorporate a Bank of the United States. One quarter of the subscription price was to be paid in gold or silver coins, bullion, or plate. The remainder was to be payable in U.S. debt securities obtained by trading old debt for new debt.In early 1791, both houses of Congress passed the Bank bill. After a great deal of debate on the constitutionality of the bill, George Washington signed it in late February. The intial public offering for Bank of the US "scrips" took place on July 4, 1791. Investors paid $25 in specie (gold, silver) per scrip. A $100 was due on January 1, 1792. Another $100 was then due on July 1, 1792. A payment of $100 was due on January 1, 1793, and a final payment of $75 was due on July 1, 1793. The total price per share was $400.The scrips were soon the target of intense speculation. They went from $25 to $50 in the first few weeks. The scrips rose from $50 to over $300 each, then the bubble burst and they declined back down to the $120-$130 range. At this point, Verplank optained an obtion from Bernard Hart.On December 9th, 1791 Bernard Hart promised to purchase from Daniel C. Verplank thirty-five Bank of the United States subscriptions at $135 each, if received on December 26th, 1791. If Verplanck obtained his scrips through the initial public offering he stood to gain $110 per scrip by excercising his option. The fact that this document remained among Verplanck's business papers indicates Verplanck did not execrcise the option. The reason is almost certainly due to the fact that Bank of the US scrip prices rose throughout December of 1791. This superb example of a stock transaction between a wealthy New York real estate investor, and one of the signers of the Buttonwood Agreement, will be a prize piece for any advanced collector of early American financial history.
