REHOBOTH, MASS. — Americana Auctions will conduct a diverse estates and nautical auction on Sunday, October 2, at 11 am, at the firm’s gallery, encompassing a wide variety of items, most from Cape Cod and islands estates. The live-on-premises sale will offer close to 600 fresh-to-the-market antiques and collectibles to satisfy most dealers and connoisseurs. It will also be showcased online at www.liveauctioneers.com and www.invaluable.com.

Highlighting the maritime portion of the sale will be a pair of J.E. Buttersworth yacht race paintings. They have some past restoration but are considerably larger than the artist’s typical works at 20 by 32 inches. James Buttersworth (1817-1894) is considered a preeminent marine artist from the New York/New Jersey area and was noted for many yachting and clipper ship subjects. There are several China Trade paintings incorporating British and American ships, most notably a monumental oil on wood panel of Hong Kong harbor with various international ships as well as Victoria Peak, prominent in the background. The work was consigned by a Virginia collector with other notable paintings. Rounding out the maritime-themed artwork includes FS Cozzens (two watercolors of beached boats), two Louis Dodd historical paintings of ships in harbor (Hawaii and Boston), Graham Flight painting of the Confederate ship Alabama, whaling subjects and more.

Other listed artists in the sale include a George Wharton Edwards monumental impressionist painting of a horse-drawn sleigh exiting the W. Cornwall Bridge in Connecticut, probably the artist’s magnum opus. Other notable works include David Lazarus (six paintings and 25 prints) Reginald Nickerson, William A Walker, Antonio Cirino, C. Gordon Harris, W. Morrell, Stacy Tolman, John Hare, W. Petroff, Harry Sunter, W. Clausen, C. Muller, L. Scweiger and PJ Loutherbourg,

There is a plethora of nautical items, including six half-hull models (largest almost 6 feet long), old ship figurehead of a lady, three British wool work pictures, an unusual butler’s “ship wheel” table with large bell base and ringer, carved wood whale plaques, eight bronze portholes, ship medical boxes “Cocaine” and “Opium” and more.

A Robert Dollar carved dolphin ship trade sign from his US Presidents passenger line, circa 1930s, will be offered. Also included are several scrimshaw whale’s teeth, rare 8-foot-long narwhal tusk, pair oxen horns with Inuit scrimshawed sea animals and sailor made items (game boxes, whale bone chess set, mini cordial set, two fine busks and more). Weathervanes include two Frank Adams metal clipper ships, folk art wood and copper fish weathervane signed J. Dean 1869 and an antique iron and copper jockey on horse vane. There is a George Kneass of San Francisco brass yacht binnacle with dolphin-carved base made for EE Dickinson of Essex, Conn. (Witch Hazel maker), as well as whale harpoons, sailor-made whale bone canes, eel spears, nautical charts and shell valentines.

A grouping of clocks is highlighted by a Simon Willard mahogany tall clock from a doctor’s home in Newport, R.I. It belonged to a Boston merchant, circa 1800, and has a rotating ship dial. Deaccessioned from a small local museum is a period Aaron Willard Bride’s mantel clock, A. Willard Jr & E. Stennes banjo clocks and E. Howard #1 regulator clock (largest one made at just over 4 feet tall). Also, a large E. Howard #69 brass marine wall clock, Hamilton ship chronometer and several Chelsea ship’s bell clocks round out the clock category.

Other interesting items include a Revolutionary War sword with scabbard carried by British officer Henry Hypp at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 where he was mortally wounded. It has written provenance and descended to a relative on Cape Cod who was relocating, reluctantly consigning it for auction.

Other items include a prototype cannon dated 1872 by Nathan Thompson of New York, Civil War porthole recovered from the CSS Rob Roy 1865 (with COA), presentation-grade Civil War officer’s sword by Horstmann, Sharp’s 1852 carbine and two Springfield Civil War muskets. More recent military items include World War I and World War II field equipment.

This auction also includes period furniture from Newport, Maine, Baltimore, Boston and other areas, about 40 antique Oriental rugs, including a Karachopf Kazak, several lots of gold jewelry as well as Native American silver jewelry. As usual, there is much silverware offered, including a rare Eighteenth Century sugar urn by New York silversmith Ephraim Brasher — a Revolutionary War patriot, neighbor of George Washington and designer of the Brasher Doubloon in 1787. Also hitting the block will be a 1732 English silver teapot by W. Kay, a 1770 English sterling salver by John Carter II, sterling silver tea sets and hollowware and several flatware sets by Tiffany and other makers.

Americana Auctions is at 380 Winthrop Street. For information, 508-223-9471 or www.americana-auction.com.
