Mrs. Farrant and Husband
Anonymous
Stamford
Circa 1826
Oil on canvas
A pair of sensitively rendered, forthright and pleasant portraits of very well dressed subjects. The lady wears a dramatic and intricate lace cap interwoven with wide lilac color ribbon accentuated with powerful golden-yellow thistle; on her fichu is an oval gold pin. She holds a letter addressed to... "Mrs. Farrant-Town Hall-Stamford" and post marked "June 3, 1826". The well dressed gentleman appears to be most agreeable; his position within the community, probably a lawyer or judge, is personalized within the composition. He wears a pair of gold seals and is depicted with a book that reads...Goals-Rules/Regulations and Visiting Magistrates. The portraits are well painted; the palate, black-on-black clothing detail and attitude are all successful. The pictures are mounted within period gilt frames that measure 30.5 by 35.75-inches and have been relined and are mounted on original stretchers; light cleaning with no apparent restoration.

Looking Glass
Mahogany, gilded wood, string-inlay and gesso on wire
Uniquely American, New York
Circa 1790-1800
With a decidedly American personality, excelling in vertical proportion, festooned with flowers and foliage and no English cognate...this example remains in a seldom-encountered high state of originality. Centering the graceful high tightly scrolled molded and carved crest ornamented with Tudor roses is the beautifully executed carved and gilded urn with wheat and floral stocks artistically arranged; beneath which is mounted a molded oval medallion boss. A bead molding is applied to the frames outside edges with the carved and gilt sight edge molding glued to the inside edges. A simple string inlay centers the inner and outer moldings. The crest with a single line inlay is butted and glued to the top of frame edge; secured by blocking and straps with the outstanding elaborate transitional Rococo scrolled base and corner scrolls likewise butted and secured against the frame. The surface of this mahogany veneer on white pine mirror appears to be original and has a rich patina. Probably New York City or Albany. (Height: 64-inches; width: 24 3/8-inches.)

Daguerreotype of Two Boys
One Holding a Musical Instrument
Quarter Plate
Daguerreotype of two little boys, one wearing a fancy off the shoulder shirt and ruffled pants and the other (with his head held in place by the hand of an anonymous adult) off the shoulder dress. The boy in the fancy shirt holds a bottle shaped instrument with finger valves on his lap and both boys are clearly not enjoying the experience. Freckled with rust spots, some tarnishing, lid of leatherette case is missing. A quick dip would greatly improve this image.
