PLAINVILLE, CONN. — On June 12 at 5:30 pm, Winter Associates will draw from a collection of homes and estates in New England a variety of Americana and early American furniture, a Civil War soldier’s collection, Continental decorative arts, including multiple Nineteenth Century Viennese enamelware, paintings, prints, Asian woodblocks, scrolls, carvings, etc., as well as contemporary art and sculptures, Oriental rugs, silver and more.

From a stately Nineteenth Century South Windsor, Conn., home comes a selection of early American furniture, including two pieces with provenances of interest, a tiger maple tall chest is inscribed “W 1793 D” on an inside backboard. The Nathan Liverant and Son receipt dated 1970 reads “Rare Tiger Maple Tall Chest, completely original, including brasses made in Newport Rhode Island by William Dennis – 1793.” Second, a New England joined oak chest with a four-panel front, the 1971 receipt from Lillian Cogan, available to successful buyer, records the origin of the chest to be Hartford, circa 1680. From the same house comes early American furniture, including other chests, inlaid bookcase desk, settle, slant lid desk, drop leaf tables, stands, corner cabinet, trencher, beds, etc., along with reproductions by Warren Chair Works, Eldred Wheeler, etc.; and Americana including weathervanes, stoneware, early tools and andirons, metalware, treenware, early glass inkwells and others.

A rare Civil War soldier’s collection from an estate in Massachusetts offers the public a look into the daily life of Union soldier Private Albert I. Sands in the years of 1862-68, with numerous manuscript letters, his Hassam bowie knife inscribed “A.I. Sands, Co. F. 38th Reg. M.V.,” his sketchbook with military scenes, early photographs of Sands in uniform, pocket bible inscribed “Albert I. Sands, Cambridge Mass, Co. F. 38th Regt. Mass Reg. Gen. Emarys Brigade Banks Expedition New Orleans La.” along with notations in the bible of fort locations visited, Sand’s wedding ring, etc. Private Albert I. Sands of Cambridge, Mass., served in the Massachusetts 38th Infantry Regiment, Company F, and saw action at the Battle of Port Hudson and other conflicts ranging from 1862 to 1863. Eight letters from Sands to family members describe the war, sickness, death, troop movements, battles and other topics.

In addition are 16 letters by Private Adolph H. Levee, dated 1863-1864, addressed to Allie (Albert I. Sands) and Carrie (Albert’s sister and Adolph’s love interest), discussing Private Levee’s actions during the war, his injuries, religion, the war, troop movements, officers, etc. Other Civil War-era items from the same estate include pro-Union poem by J.W. Hering, titled “Jeff Davis,” circa 1860s, describing hanging Jefferson Davis, marching through the South, and other pro-Union sentiments, inscribed at the bottom “written from Hateras Inlit, N.C. Gen. Burnside Division,” as well as 24 Civil War themed envelopes, all with pre-printed motifs depicting pro-Union imagery, politicians and generals, political cartoons and abolition messages.
For admirers of Thomas Hart Benton, two lithographs, “Gateside Conversation” and “Corral,” are strong examples of the artist’s Regionalist style. From the same private Connecticut collector is “Self-Portrait – 55 Division Street” by Ivan Le Lorraine Albright, along with more than 30 prints by Joseph Hirsch, Lawrence Kupferman, Emilio Amero, Nora Woodson, Luigi Lucioni, Harry Sternberg, Ellison Hoover and others.
