February 5 will feature the exclusive Palm Beach collection of Ethel du Pont, whose father was Eugene du Pont, an American businessman who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and served as the first head of the modern-day DuPont corporation.

The du Pont collection comes from her home “Seaspray” in Palm Beach, Fla., and features Federal furniture. Highlights include a Salem, Mass., Hepplewhite-style mahogany dining table and set of chairs; a New York serpentine mahogany sideboard; a pair of Salem Federal mahogany and satinwood D-shaped game tables having fluted legs; and a Nineteenth Century Salem Sheraton giltwood mirror attributed to Samuel McIntyre.
Another early piece in the collection is a Salem Sheraton mahogany sofa with a wheat design with fluted arms and a front skirt on brass casters. English furniture features a Nineteenth Century mahogany two-section breakfront with inlaid shells and scrolled arch fretwork.
Silver highlights include a Paul Revere-style punch bowl made for Cartier, a large set of English silver flatware with shell design and a Nineteenth Century fancy French silver tea service. Porcelain in the collection includes a set of Richard Ginori china, fancy English Minton plates from Tiffany & Company, New York, and The Diplomat pattern of Hutschenreuther Selb Bavarian china.

The collection continues with a family portrait of Ethel’s father, Eugene du Pont III, a Nineteenth Century portrait of Joseph Stickney, another famous relative, the owner and builder of the Mount Washington Hotel, and an oil on canvas painting by Paulo Villela Rodrigues de Morales.
