Offsite Sold Property Storage Information
Please note that all lots listed at the beginning of our printed catalog, if not removed immediately
after the sale, will be transferred to a nearby storage facility. For the convenience of the successful
bidder of one or more of these lots, all purchased lots will be transferred to our offsite storage
together. Please read the Conditions of Sale regarding the removal of sold lots.
Bonhams & Butterfields’ storage and logistics partner is Box Brothers, a well-known organization
that specializes in crating, packaging and shipping.
Our storage and logistics partnership provides several beneficial services. The first being
5 days of free storage.
•
During this auction, clients will be expected to pick up all property from Bonhams &
Butterfields by 4pm on Wednesday, December 9, 2009.
•
All items listed at the beginning of our printed catalog, along with all other items
purchased, if not removed immediately after the sale, will be transferred to Box Brothers
warehouse. With an appointment made 24 hours in advance, clients can pick up their
property at 2321 Filbert Street in Oakland.
•
Box Brothers will charge an uplift fee to transport your items to their warehouse. Small
items that can be handled easily by one person will be charged $50. Larger items
that can still be handled by one person will be charged $85. Large items that require
two people to handle will be charged $100. Charges will be payable directly to Box
Brothers. Should you choose to have Box Brothers ship or deliver your property, this
uplift fee will be waived.
•
Clients will have 5 days of free storage to retrieve their property or make arrangements
with Box Brothers to pack and ship their property. Storage fees will begin to accrue on
the 6th day of storage.
•
Retrieval from the offsite warehouse is by appointment only. Clients must call 24 hours
in advance. Clients can utilize the delivery services offered by Box Brothers or clients may
make their own arrangements. Please call +1 (800) 942-6822.

Box Brothers is available to ship internationally. They offer importing and exporting
services. Clients can select either airfreight or ocean cargo delivery options, which range

Butterfields for a period of 21 days beginning the date of the auction. During this 21
day period, clients may remove such property themselves, make arrangements with
the Bonhams & Butterfields packaging and shipping department or provide their own
shipper for removal of all property. If a client does not retrieve his/her property or finalize
shipping arrangements within 21 days, the purchases will be removed to the offsite
storage facility of Box Brothers. Again, uplift charges for packing and transport from our
gallery to Box Brothers will be charged by Box Brothers.

or other fees due to Box Brothers should be made directly to Box Brothers.

CONDITIONS OF SALE
The following Conditions of Sale, as amended by any
published or posted notices or verbal announcements
during the sale, constitute the entire terms and conditions
on which property listed in the catalog shall be offered for
sale or sold by Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp.
and any consignor of such property for whom we act as
agent. As used herein, “Bonhams,” “we” and “us” refer
to Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp.
1. As used herein, the term “bid price” means the
price at which a lot is successfully knocked down to
the purchaser. The term “purchase price” means the
aggregate of (a) the bid price, (b) a PREMIUM retained
by us and payable by the purchaser EQUAL TO 22%
OF THE FIRST $100,000 OF THE BID PRICE, 20% OF
THE AMOUNT OF THE BID PRICE ABOVE $100,000
UP TO AND INCLUDING $500,000, AND 12% OF THE
AMOUNT OF THE BID PRICE OVER $500,000, and
(c) unless the purchaser is exempt by law from the
payment thereof, any California, Arizona, Georgia,
Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Washington state, or other state or local sales tax
(or compensating use tax) and other applicable taxes.
However, if the purchaser pays for all lots purchased by
it from the sale in cash or by “cash equivalent” (which
term is defined to include cashier’s check or money
order, approved check, wire transfer or other immediate
bank transfer), and makes such payment in full by the
payment due date specified in Paragraph 2 below, a
discounted buyer’s premium rate of 20% will apply to
the first $100,000 of the bid price.
2. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, the
highest bidder shall have purchased the offered lot in
accordance and subject to compliance with all of the
conditions set forth herein and (a) assumes full risk
and responsibility therefor, (b) if requested will sign a
confirmation of purchase, and (c) will pay the purchase
price in full or such part as we may require for all lots
purchased. No lot may be transferred. Any person
placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or
not such person has disclosed that fact or the identity
of the principal) may be jointly and severally liable with
the principal under any contract resulting from the
acceptance of a bid.
Unless otherwise agreed, payment in good funds is
due and payable within five (5) business days following
the auction sale. Whenever the purchaser pays only a
part of the total purchase price for one or more lots
purchased, we may apply such payments, in our sole
discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment will
not be deemed made in full until we have collected
good funds for all amounts due.
Payment for purchases may be made in or by (a) cash,
(b) cashier’s check or money order, (c) personal check
with approved credit drawn on a U.S. bank, (d) wire
transfer or other immediate bank transfer, or (e) Visa or
MasterCard credit or debit card. A processing fee will
be assessed on any returned checks. Please note that
the amount of cash notes and cash equivalents that can
be accepted from a given purchaser may be limited.
The purchaser grants us a security interest in the
property, and we may retain as collateral security for
the purchaser’s obligations to us, any property and all
monies held or received by us for the account of the
purchaser, in our possession. We retain all rights of a
secured party under the California Commercial Code.
If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable
conditions herein are not complied with, in addition
to other remedies available to us and the consignor by
law, including without limitation, the right to hold the
purchaser liable for the purchase price, we at our option
may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated
damages all payments made by the purchaser or (b)
resell the property, either publicly or privately, and in
such event the purchaser shall be liable for the payment
of any deficiency plus all costs and expenses of both
sales, our commission at our standard rates, all other
charges due hereunder, attorneys’ fees, expenses and
incidental damages. In addition, where two or more
amounts are owed in respect of different transactions
by the purchaser to us, to Bonhams 1793 Limited and/
or to any of our other affiliates, subsidiaries or parent
companies worldwide within the Bonhams Group, we
reserve the right to apply any monies paid in respect
of a transaction to discharge any amount owed by the
purchaser. If all fees, commissions, premiums, bid price
and other sums due to us from the purchaser are not
paid promptly as provided in these Conditions of Sale,
we reserve the right to impose a finance charge equal to
1.5% per month on all amounts due to us beginning on
the 31st day following the sale until payment is received,
in addition to other remedies available to us by law.
3. We reserve the right to withdraw any property and
to divide and combine lots at any time before such
property’s auction. Unless otherwise announced by the
auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as
numbered in the catalog and no lots shall be divided or
combined for sale.
4. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder,
to split any bidding increment, and to advance the
bidding in any manner the auctioneer may decide. In
the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the
event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the
auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to
determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell
the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale,
our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects.
5. If we are prevented by fire, theft or any other
reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the
purchaser or a sale otherwise cannot be completed, our
liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefor
by the purchaser and shall in no event include any
compensatory, incidental or consequential damages.
6. If a lot is offered subject to a reserve, we may
implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the
consignor, whether by opening bidding or continuing
bidding in response to other bidders until reaching the
reserve. If we have an interest in an offered lot and the
proceeds therefrom other than our commissions, we
may bid therefor to protect such interest. CONSIGNORS
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BID ON THEIR OWN ITEMS.
7. All statements contained in the catalog or in any
bill of sale, condition report, invoice or elsewhere
as to authorship, period, culture, source, origin,
measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance,
exhibition and literature of historical relevance, or
physical condition ARE QUALIFIED STATEMENTS
OF OPINION AND NOT REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES. No employee or agent of Bonhams is
authorized to make on our behalf or on that of the
consignor any representation or warranty, oral or
written, with respect to any property.
8. All purchased property shall be removed from
the premises at which the sale is conducted by the
date(s) and time(s) set forth in the “Buyer’s Guide”
portion of this catalog. Property designated with a
“W” and associated purchased lots, if not removed
promptly following sale, will be transferred to an offsite
warehouse at the purchaser’s risk and expense, as set
forth in more detail in the “Buyer’s Guide.” Purchased
property that is permitted to remain onsite at Bonhams’
facility should be removed at the purchaser’s expense
not later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time five (5) business
days following the date of the sale. If not so removed,
a storage fee of $5.00 per lot per day will be payable
to us by the purchaser beginning at the close of the
21st day following the sale, and we may thereafter
transfer such property to an offsite warehouse at the
purchaser’s risk and expense. Accounts must be settled
in full before property will be released. Packing and
handling of purchased lots are the responsibility of the
purchaser. Bonhams can provide packing and shipping
services for certain items as noted in the “Buyer’s
Guide” section of the catalog.
9. The copyright in the text of the catalog and the
photographs, digital images and illustrations of lots in
the catalog belong to Bonhams or its licensors. You
will not reproduce or permit anyone else to reproduce
such text, photographs, digital images or illustrations
without our prior written consent.
10. These Conditions of Sale shall bind the successors
and assigns of all bidders and purchasers and inure to
the benefit of our successors and assigns. No waiver,
amendment or modification of the terms hereof (other
than posted notices or oral announcements during the
sale) shall bind us unless specifically stated in writing
and signed by us. If any part of these Conditions of
Sale is for any reason invalid or unenforceable, the rest
shall remain valid and enforceable.
11. These Conditions of Sale and the purchaser’s and
our respective rights and obligations hereunder are
governed by the laws of the State of California. By
bidding at an auction, each purchaser and bidder
agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale. Any
dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this agreement, or the breach, termination or
validity thereof, brought by or against Bonhams (but
not including claims brought against the consignor by
the purchaser of lots consigned hereunder) shall be
resolved by the procedures set forth below.
Mediation and Arbitration Procedures
(a) Within 30 days of written notice that there is a
dispute, the parties or their authorized and empowered
representatives shall meet by telephone and/or in person
to mediate their differences. If the parties agree, a
mutually acceptable mediator shall be selected and
the parties will equally share such mediator’s fees. The
mediator shall be a retired judge or an attorney familiar
with commercial law and trained in or qualified by
experience in handling mediations. Any communications
made during the mediation process shall not be
admissible in any subsequent arbitration, mediation or
judicial proceeding. All proceedings and any resolutions
thereof shall be confidential, and the terms governing
arbitration set forth in paragraph (c) below shall govern.
(b) If mediation does not resolve all disputes between
the parties, or in any event no longer than 60 days
after receipt of the written notice of dispute referred to
above, the parties shall submit the dispute for binding
arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator. Such
arbitrator shall be a retired judge or an attorney familiar
with commercial law and trained in or qualified by
experience in handling arbitrations. Such arbitrator shall
make all appropriate disclosures required by law. The
arbitrator shall be drawn from a panel of a national
arbitration service agreed to by the parties, and shall be
selected as follows: (i) If the national arbitration service
has specific rules or procedures, those rules or procedures
shall be followed; (ii) If the national arbitration service
does not have rules or procedures for the selection of
an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be an individual jointly
agreed to by the parties. If the parties cannot agree
on a national arbitration service, the arbitration shall
be conducted by the American Arbitration Association,
and the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with
the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and shall set forth
findings of fact and legal conclusions.
CONDITIONS OF SALE - CONTINUED
c) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or provided
by the published rules of the national arbitration
service:
(i) the arbitration shall occur within 60 days following
the selection of the arbitrator;
(ii) the arbitration shall be conducted in the designated
location, as follows: (A) in any case in which the
subject auction by Bonhams took place or was
scheduled to take place in the State of New York or the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the arbitration shall
take place in New York City, New York; (B) in all other
cases, the arbitration shall take place in the city of San
Francisco, California; and
(iii) discovery and the procedure for the arbitration shall
be as follows:
(A) All arbitration proceedings shall be confidential;
(B) The parties shall submit written briefs to the
arbitrator no later than 15 days before the arbitration
commences;
(C) Discovery, if any, shall be limited as follows: (I)
Requests for no more than 10 categories of documents,
to be provided to the requesting party within 14
days of written request therefor; (II) No more than
two (2) depositions per party, provided however, the
deposition(s) are to be completed within one (1) day;
(III) Compliance with the above shall be enforced by the
arbitrator in accordance with California law;
(D) Each party shall have no longer than eight (8)
hours to present its position. The entire hearing before
the arbitrator shall not take longer than three (3)
consecutive days;
(E) The award shall be made in writing no more than 30
days following the end of the proceeding. Judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as
required by applicable arbitration rules, each party shall
bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in connection
with the proceedings and shall share equally the fees
and expenses of the arbitrator.
Limited Right of Rescission
If within six (6) months from the date of sale, the original
purchaser (a) gives written notice to us alleging that the
identification of Authorship (as defined below) of such
lot as set forth in the BOLD TYPE heading of the catalog
description of such lot (as amended by any saleroom
notices or verbal announcements during the sale) is
not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the
catalog (including the terms of any glossary contained
therein), and (b) within 10 days after such notice returns
the lot to us in the same condition as at the time of
sale, and (c) establishes the allegation in the notice to
our satisfaction (including by providing one or more
written opinions by recognized experts in the field, as
we may reasonably require), then the sale of such lot will
be rescinded and, unless we have already paid to the
consignor monies owed him in connection with the sale,
the original purchase price will be refunded.
If, prior to receiving such notice from the original
purchaser alleging such defect, we have paid the
consignor monies owed him in connection with the sale,
we shall pay the original purchaser the amount of our
commissions, any other sale proceeds to which we are
entitled and applicable taxes received from the purchaser
on the sale and make demand on the consignor to pay
the balance of the original purchase price to the original
purchaser. Should the consignor fail to pay such amount
promptly, we may disclose the identity of the consignor
and assign to the original purchaser our rights against
the consignor with respect to the lot the sale of which
is sought to be rescinded. Upon such disclosure and
assignment, any liability of Bonhams as consignor’s agent
with respect to said lot shall automatically terminate.
The foregoing limited right of rescission is available to
the original purchaser only and may not be assigned
to or relied upon by any subsequent transferee of
the property sold. The purchaser hereby accepts the
benefit of the consignor’s warranty of title and other
representations and warranties made by the consignor
for the purchaser’s benefit. Nothing in this section
shall be construed as an admission by us of any
representation of fact, express or implied, obligation or
responsibility with respect to any lot. THE PURCHASER’S
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BONHAMS
FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER IS THE LIMITED RIGHT
OF RESCISSION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
“Authorship” means only the identity of the creator, the
period, culture and source or origin of the lot, as the
case may be, as set forth in the BOLD TYPE heading of
the print catalog entry. The right of rescission does not
extend to: (a) works of art executed before 1870 (unless
these works are determined to be counterfeits created
since 1870), as this is a matter of current scholarly
opinion which can change; (b) titles, descriptions, or
other identification of offered lots, which information
normally appears in lower case type below the BOLD
TYPE heading identifying the Authorship; (c) Authorship
of any lot where it was specifically mentioned that
there exists a conflict of specialist or scholarly opinion
regarding the Authorship of the lot at the time of sale;
(d) Authorship of any lot which as of the date of sale was
in accordance with the then generally-accepted opinion
of scholars and specialists regarding the same; or (e) the
identification of periods or dates of creation in catalog
descriptions which may be proven inaccurate by means
of scientific processes that are not generally accepted for
use until after publication of the catalog in which the
property is offered or that were unreasonably expensive
or impractical to use at the time of such publication.
Limitation of Liability
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, ALL
PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS.” NEITHER BONHAMS
NOR THE CONSIGNOR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR CONDITION OF
THE PROPERTY OR AS TO THE CORRECTNESS

Auction Estimates
The first step in the auction process is to determine the
auction value of your property. Bonhams & Butterfields’
world-renowned specialists will evaluate your special items
at no charge and in complete confidence. You can obtain
an auction estimate in many ways:
• Attend one of our Auction Appraisal Events held regularly
at our galleries and in other major metropolitan areas.
The updated schedule for Bonhams & Butterfields Auction
Appraisal Events is available at www.bonhams.com/us.
• Call our Client Services Department to schedule a private
appointment at one of our galleries. If you have a large
collection, our specialists can travel, by appointment, to
evaluate your property on site.
• Send clear photographs to us of each individual
item, including item dimensions and other pertinent
information with each picture. Photos should be sent to
Bonhams & Butterfields address in envelopes marked as
“photo auction estimate”. Alternatively, you can submit
your request using our online form at www.bonhams.
com/us. Digital images may be attached to the form.
Please limit your images to no more than five (5) per item.
Consigning Your Property
After you receive an estimate, you may consign your
property to us for sale in the next appropriate auction.
Our staff assists you throughout the process, arranging
transportation of your items to our galleries (at the
consignor’s expense), providing a detailed inventory of
your consignment, and reporting the prices realized for
each lot. We provide secure storage for your property
in our warehouses and all items are insured throughout
the auction process. You will receive payment for your
property approximately 35 days after completion of sale.
Sales commissions vary with the potential auction value
of the property and the particular auction in which the
property is offered. Please call us for commission rates.
Professional Appraisal Services
Bonhams & Butterfields specialists conduct insurance
and fair market value appraisals for private collectors,
corporations, museums, fiduciaries and government
entities on a daily basis. Insurance appraisals, used for
insurance purposes, reflect the cost of replacing property
in today’s retail market. Fair market value appraisals are
used for estate, tax and family division purposes and
reflect prices paid by a willing buyer to a willing seller.
When we conduct a private appraisal, our specialists will
prepare a thorough inventory listing of all your appraised
property by category. Valuations, complete descriptions
and locations of items are included in the documentation.
Appraisal fees vary according to the nature of the
collection, the amount of work involved, the travel
distance, and whether the property is subsequently
consigned for auction.
Our appraisers are available to help you anywhere and at
any time. Please call our Client Services Department to
schedule an appraisal.

BUYER’S GUIDE
BIDDING & BUYING AT AUCTION
All Bonhams & Butterfields previews and sales are free and
open to the public. Should you have any questions, please
visit our website at www.bonhams.com/us or call our Client
Services Department at +1 (800) 223 2854 ext. 3550.
Catalogs
Before each auction we publish illustrated catalogs that
include dates and times for previews and auctions. Our
catalogs also provide descriptions and estimated values for
each “lot.” A lot may refer to a single item or to a group
of items auctioned together. We offer our catalogs by
subscription or by single copy. For information on subscribing
to our catalogs, you may refer to the subscription form in
this catalog, call our Client Services Department, or visit our
website at www.bonhams.com/us.
Previews
Auction previews are your chance to inspect each lot prior to
the auction. We encourage you to look closely and examine
each object on which you may want to bid so that you will
know as much as possible about it. Items are sold “as is” and
with all faults; illustrations in our catalogs, website and other
materials are provided for identification only. At the previews,
our staff is always available to answer your questions and
guide you through the auction process. Condition reports
may be available upon request.
Estimates
Bonhams & Butterfields catalogs include estimates for each
lot, exclusive of buyer’s premium and tax. The estimates
are provided as an approximate guide to current market
value and should not be interpreted as a representation or
prediction of actual selling prices. They are determined well in
advance of a sale and are subject to revision. Please contact us
should you have any questions about value estimates.
Reserves
All lots in a catalog are subject to a reserve unless otherwise
indicated. The reserve is the minimum price that the seller
is willing to accept for a lot. This amount is confidential and
does not exceed the low estimated value.
BIDDING AT AUCTION
At Bonhams & Butterfields, you can bid in many ways: in
person, via absentee bid, or over the phone. By bidding at
auction, whether in person or by agent, by absentee bid,
telephone or other means, the buyer or bidder agrees to
be bound by the Conditions of Sale. Absentee bids can be
submitted in person, online, via fax or via email.
A valid Bonhams & Butterfields client account is required to
participate in bidding activity. You can obtain registration
information online, at the reception desk or by calling our
Client Services Department.
Lots are auctioned in consecutive numerical order as they
appear in the catalog. Bidding normally begins below the
low estimate. The auctioneer will accept bids from interested
parties present in the saleroom, from telephone bidders, and
from absentee bidders who have left written bids in advance
of the sale. The auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf
of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve, but never
above it.
We assume no responsibility for failure to execute bids for
any reason whatsoever.
In Person
If you are planning to bid at auction, you will need to register
at the reception desk in order to receive a numbered bid
card. To place a bid, hold up your card so that the auctioneer
can clearly see it. Decide on the maximum amount that
you wish to pay, exclusive of buyer’s premium and tax, and
continue bidding until your bid prevails or you reach your
limit. If you are the successful bidder on a lot, the auctioneer
will acknowledge your paddle number and bid amount.
Absentee Bids
As a service to those wishing to place bids, we may at our
discretion accept bids without charge in advance of sale
by telephone, by facsimile or in writing on bidding forms
available from us. “Buy” bids will not be accepted; all bids
must state the highest bid price the bidder is willing to pay.
Our auction staff will try to bid just as you would, with the
goal of obtaining the item at the lowest bid price possible.
In the event identical bids are submitted, the earliest bid
submitted will take precedence. Absentee bids shall be
executed in competition with other absentee bids, any
applicable reserve, and bids from other auction participants.
A friend or agent may place bids on your behalf, provided
that we have received your written authorization prior to the
sale. Absentee bid forms are available in our catalogs, online
at www.bonhams.com/us, and at our San Francisco, Los
Angeles and New York galleries.
By Telephone
Under special circumstances, we can arrange for you to bid
by telephone. To arrange for a telephone bid, please contact
our Client Services Department a minimum of 24 hours prior
to the sale.
Online
Web users may place absentee bids online from anywhere
in the world. To bid online, please visit our website at www.

quoted for conversion of other currencies to U.S. Dollars are
indications only and should not be relied upon by a bidder,
and neither Bonhams & Butterfields nor its agents shall be
responsible for any errors or omissions in the operation or
accuracy of the currency converter.
Buyer’s Premium
A buyer’s premium is added to the winning bid price of
each individual lot purchased, at the rates set forth in the
Conditions of Sale. The winning bid price plus the premium
constitute the purchase price for the lot. Applicable sales
taxes are computed based on this figure, and the total
becomes your final purchase price. If you pay for all lots
purchased in the auction entirely in cash or cash equivalent,
a reduced premium rate will apply, as set forth in the
Conditions of Sale.
Unless specifically illustrated and noted, fine art frames are
not included in the estimate or purchase price. Bonhams &
Butterfields accepts no liability for damage or loss to frames
during storage or shipment.
All sales are final and subject to the Conditions of Sale
found in our catalogs, on our website, and available at the
reception desk.

GLOSSARY (F&D)
Typical Headings Used in the Catalog
The following are examples of the terminology used in the catalog. While every
reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the statements made in the
catalog are correct, all statements and terms in this catalog are subject to the
provisions of the Conditions of Sale and the Galleries and Consignors make no
warranties or representations with respect to any lot.
FURNITURE
George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers
Third Quarter 18th Century
This heading, with date included, means that the piece is, in our opinion, of the
period indicated with no major alterations or restorations.
George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers
This heading, without the inclusion of the date, indicates that, in our opinion,
the piece, while basically of the period, has undergone significant restoration
and alteration.
George III Style Mahogany Chest of Drawers
The inclusion of the word “style” in the heading indicates that, in our opinion,
the piece was made as an intentional reproduction of an earlier style.
BRONZES
Antoine-Louis Barye
This heading indicates that the casting and patination were done by the artist or
with his direct authorization or supervision.
Cast After a Model by Antoine-Louis Barye
This heading indicates that the casting and patination of a known Barye model
were done by another, i.e., artisans at the F. Barbedienne or other foundry.
CERAMICS
Meissen Porcelain Cup and Saucer
Late 19th Century
This heading states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in
the last quarter of the 19th Century.
Meissen Porcelain Cup and a Saucer
Late 19th Century
Again, this heading states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen
factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century, but it also indicates that the cup
and saucer may not have been “born” together.
Endangered Species and CITES Permits
The export of a lot from the United States or import into certain countries may
be subject to export and import regulations, licensure and/or other restrictions;
in particular, lots containing animal material such as ivory, rhinoceros horn,
tortoise shell, coral or whalebone may require the granting of one or more
export or import licenses or may be banned from import altogether by some
countries. Lots that contain these aforementioned materials may also not be
eligible for exportation if they are not over one hundred years of age. Lots
noted in the catalog with a Y next to the lot number contain one or more
such animal materials. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such
restrictions and to obtain any relevant export or import licenses. Please note
that this process is governed by local authorities and may take considerable
time. Regardless of any delay in the obtaining of an export or import license
or denial of a license’s issuance, purchased lots shall be paid for in accordance
with the Conditions of Sale, and any such delay or denial shall not serve as
the basis for cancellation of any sale. Prospective buyers are advised to obtain
information from the relevant regulatory authorities regarding export and
import restrictions, requirements, and costs prior to bidding.
Upon request, Bonhams & Butterfields can refer the purchaser to an agent
who can assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses.
However, there is no assurance that any necessary licenses can be obtained.
Circa 1900
This heading states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory
around the year 1900.
‘Meissen’ Porcelain Cup and a Saucer
19th Century
This heading states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although
of the date specified, not necessarily made at the Meissen factory.
This heading, without a specific date, simply states that the pieces were made
at the Meissen factory but does not specify when, implying that their age is
questionable.

The Collection of Dr. Don Van Derby
and the late Don B. Liles (1927-1990),
San Francisco, California
Bonhams & Butterfields is delighted to present the
collection of Dr. Don Van Derby and the late Don B. Liles
(1927-1990) of San Francisco.
In 1962 Dr. Don Van Derby and his late partner Don B. Liles
purchased an important San Francisco Victorian classic at
2527-2531 Washington Street. The La Place family, owners
of the famous early San Francisco restaurant The Old Poodle
Dog, built this double house in 1887 for their two sons. The
house was purchased directly from the widow of one of the
La Place sons. Through a labor of love and many years of hard
work this San Francisco jewel was meticulously restored to its
former grandeur. The interior was decorated with flare and
taste and filled with carefully chosen paintings, furniture and
decorations to perfectly compliment the setting.
Dr. Van Derby’s home was featured in the first edition of
“Painted Ladies, San Francisco’s Resplendent Victorians”
by, Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen, published in
1978. Many of the pieces to be offered by Bonhams were
showcased in “Cherished Objects” by Allison Kyle Leopold,
published by Clarkson-Potter, 1991.
The first part of the collection is presented in the following lots.
Part II will be sold at our SoMa estate sale on December 20.

CORINTHIAN STUDIOS
The history of Corinthian
Studios is legendary in the
annals of the antiquarian world
in the second half of the 20th
century. The owners, Bob
Kongsli and Vern Halcomb, met
in 1954 and established their
business in the San Francisco
Bay Area and eventually opened
their premiere establishment
in Saratoga, California. Their
reputation was international
with clients form Europe,
Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Japan
and the United States traveling
to see their extraordinary
collection of 19th century
French furniture and decorative
arts, Tiffany lamps and works
of art, sculpture, silver and jewelry. Among the most astute collectors, Corinthian Studios became
synonymous with the great ebenistes Linke, Sormani, Zweiner and Beurdeley. In 1984 Bob and Vern
retired to one of the finest Belle Epoque villas on the Mediterranean in Cannes. They spent many years
restoring the 36,000 square foot villa to its prior glory. Later they returned to the United States and
took up residence in the Pacific Northwest. Bonhams & Butterfields is honored to offer objects that are
part of their private collection.

Paul Sormani was one of the most important ebenistes of the 19th century. Italian by birth, his first gallery and workshop was established in 1847 in Paris. After his death in 1877, the firm continued
under the direction of his widow, Ursule-Marie-Philippine. Specializing in furniture made in the Louis XV and Louis XVI style, Sormani advertised his workship as providing “toute sa production revele
une qualite d’execution de toute premiere ordre”. He received a medal of premiere classe at the Exposition Universelle in 1855, followed by another medal at the 1862 exposition in London. The
superb quality of the bronze chasing and gilding on the offered commode and the overall form, execution, use of lacquer as well the color of the marble make this one of Sormani’s masterpieces.

This and following two lots were brought from
Italy to the United Sates at the beginning of the
20th century by the architect Addison Mizer.
Mr. Mizer planned to include these arches (and
four others from the same set) in Casa Bendita,
Palm Beach, Florida that was being constructed
for John S. Phipps. It was decided at a later
point not to use the arches and they were stored
underneath the villa. After Mr. Phipps’ death in
1961 the house was demolished and the arches
were discovered and moved to another part of
the estate. The current owner of these arches
purchased them from a direct descendant of
John S. Phipps in 2005.
