THOMASTON, MAINE — On February 25, 26 and 27 at 11 am, Thomaston Place Auction Galleries will present “Winter Enchantment,” an auction of rarities and fresh-to-the-market finds. The sale will include collections of paintings, folk art and country Americana, pottery and glass, Asian antiques and designer and custom decorative accessories.
Thomaston Place owner and auctioneer Kaja Veilleux said, “This auction presents an interesting balance of traditional and modern objects that will appeal to virtually all collecting and design interests.”

Leading the painting category is a work by Jessie Arms Botke (1883-1971) depicting two white peacocks amid a garden of exotic flowers. “Spring Tide,” a dynamic oil on canvas seascape by Frederick Judd Waugh (1861-1940) will also be featured, along with paintings by James Edward Buttersworth (1817-1894), Thomas Moran (1837-1926), Ralph Eugene Cahoon Jr (1910-1982) and Karl Albert Buehr (1866-1952).
Two Andy Warhol (1929-1987) “Campbell’s Soup” limited edition serigraphs from 1968 will be offered — “Campbell’s Soup I” (Tomato) and “Campbell’s Soup I” (Green Pea) will be offered along with three Outsider art watercolors by folk artist Bill Traylor (1854-1947).

There will be a selection of early American folk art portraits, including a Prior Hamblin School work of a young brother and sister, an infant child with cat by Aaron Dean Fletcher (1817-1902) and a pair of husband and wife portraits by E.E. Finch (active 1832-1850). Other folk art items include five weathervanes, six carousel animals (including rare moose and sea monster figures), plus groups of ship models, decoys, theorems, early signs, baskets and treenware.

The sale will present a mid-Nineteenth Century British soldier-made quilt composed of thousands of wool geometric pieces, probably from military uniforms, centered by UK and US flags and assorted symbols. Another historic treasure to be sold is a 1795 appointment signed by President George Washington.

Featured among the more than 200 lots of furniture will be a round walnut dining table purchased by Marilyn Monroe for her Brentwood, Calif., home; a circa 1700 red-painted Deerfield blanket chest; a rare maple William and Mary drop-leaf butterfly table; New England rampant tiger maple chest on stand; plus many other early painted and inlaid pieces and custom designer items by Thos. Moser, Mies Van Der Rohe and Nils Jonsson.

A pottery and glass collection will include two lots of Eighteenth Century German free-blown stemware; pottery by Brother Thomas Bezanson (1929-2007), Martin Brothers, Pablo Picasso and Doulton Lambeth; early porcelain by Coalport, Derby, Wedgwood and Worcester; plus selections of early stoneware, redware and mocha ware.

There will be more than 130 lots of Asian antiques and artifacts, led by a Chinese inlaid rosewood pedestal display table from the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair, a set of 18 Chinese late Eighteenth Century carved ivory Buddha disciple figures, multiple lots of early Japanese tsuba and an early Thai gilt cinnabar Buddha figure.

Other items of interest include a man’s 2005 Rolex Submariner wristwatch, an early Twentieth Century Italian micromosaic portrait of a standing musketeer from the Vatican Studio, a circa 1800 tall case clock by Nathan Hale (son of the Revolutionary War patriot), selections of early barometers and a group of boxes and tea caddies.

The gallery will be open for previews from Monday through Friday, February 14-18 (9 am to 4 pm); Saturday, February 19, (10 am to 3 pm); and Monday through Thursday, February 21-24 (9 am to 4 pm). Previewing will also be available on auction days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 9 to 11 am.
