PLAINVILLE, CONN. — Paintings, clocks, important documents, as well as items being sold to benefit the Slater Museum, to include a weathervane, will be offered at Winter Associates’ January 24 auction, starting at 5:30 pm.

One of two tall clocks from local households is a David Wood Federal cherry clock, circa 1800-15. Wood was a successful American clockmaker from Newburyport, Mass. Woods’ high-end craftsmanship can be seen in the checkered string inlay on the hood and body and stylized bouquet in the arch; the case houses an eight-day brass time and strike movement. Also from this consignor are family portraits done in oil of two women identified as from the Crary family. The second tall clock is American Chippendale, circa 1780, possibly from Pennsylvania, with a cherry and walnut case.

Other paintings and prints include an A.F. Tait work, “Snowed In – After the Blizzard” or, alternatively, “Uncle Dan Catlin with His Dog, Scotty,” 1878. Purchased early to mid-Twentieth Century by an Ohio family and owned through family descent, it is recorded as no. 78.16 in Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, Artist in the Adirondacks by W.H. Cadbury with a checklist by Marsh. Some of the more notable prints include a Renoir lithograph of his son, Claude, and American prints from Kerr Eby and John Taylor Adams, as well as examples of iconic New York City views.

From the Warren C. Lane estate, important documents include letters describing activities during the Revolutionary War, one by John Jay mentioning John Paul Jones, and a letter by Lord Stirling mentioning the Marquis de Lafayette, that reflect Lane’s interest in American history.
English and Continental silver from a West Hartford home are in the more than 35 lots of silver in the January auction. A large Portuguese tea service and an ornate Eighteenth Century London epergne are standouts. Early American silver, both hollowware and flatware, are present as well as Tiffany and Gorham examples.

Deaccessioned items being sold to benefit the Slater Memorial Museum’s acquisition fund include a running horse weathervane in the manner of Jewell, an elaborately embroidered quilt top dated 1884, samplers and other textiles.

Twentieth Century Connecticut cabinetmakers’ works include a mahogany slant lid desk by Nathan Margolis, dated 1917, and a writing arm Windsor by F.E. Banning of Hadlyme, Conn., as well as Oriental rugs, antique maps, gold jewelry, garden and military items
