Gorham Martelé turtle soup tureen and plates come to Doyle April 10

Gorham Martelé Sterling Silver Covered Terrapin Soup Tureen on Stand, estimated at $10,000-$20,000 at Doyle.

NEW YORK – A turtle soup tureen and 12 matching soup plates from Gorham’s exclusive Martelé range will be presented at Doyle New York. Offered as part of the Manhattan firm’s Wednesday, April 10 auction of American Art, Silver, Furniture & Décor, the two lots are estimated at $10,000-$20,000 and $7,000-$10,000, respectively.

Turtle soup, which first became a delicacy on European tables with the emergence of the West Indies trade in the 18th century, was hugely popular among the elite of American society at the turn of the 20th century. It was the favorite dish of the 27th U.S. president, William Howard Taft, who went so far as to hire a chef at the White House for the specific purpose of preparing turtle soup.

Gorham’s archives list four similar ‘terrapin sets’ in the handmade Martelé line. Another terrapin tureen of a differing model, with 12 bowls, was sold by Sotheby’s New York in April 2023 for $30,000.

Like the others, Doyle’s example would have been hugely expensive. As a point of reference, the archives report that a similar Martelé tureen took 136 hours to make and 158 hours to chase, all in the context of a 60-hour week. The net factory price was $520. The dishes, priced at $50 each, took more than eight hours each to ‘raise’, and thereafter required around 20 hours of chasing.

The tureen, with its turtle finial and stand with stylized shell and seaweed feet, dates to 1912 and weighs 124 troy ounces. Across the bombe-form body and domed cover it is chased with scrolling seaweed and ripples to replicate water.

Each of the dozen matching soup plates are chased and engraved to the scalloped borders with turtles, shells, and seaweed. They weigh a total of 147 troy ounces.

The trade name Martelé derives from the French verb ‘marteler’ (to hammer), denoting the distinctive hand-hammered surface of the silverware. The range was produced in Gorham’s Providence, Rhode Island workshops by its best silversmiths under the direction of Englishman William Christmas Codman (1839-1921).

Leading the 18th-century silver is a previously unrecorded inverted pear form teapot by Swiss-born silversmith Daniel Christian Fueter (1720-1785), who worked in the latest fashions in New York. Dated 1762 to the base, it is engraved with the crest and initials of descendants of Albert Albertszen Terhune (circa 1623-1685), a Huguenot ribbon weaver from Holland who settled in Gravesend in Kings County (now part of Brooklyn). The teapot, one of only a few examples of holloware by Fueter in private hands, is estimated at $6,000-$8,000.

WOODBURY, Conn. – A silver and turquoise tazza designed by Danish silversmith Erik Magnussen (1884-1961) for the Gorham Manufacturing Company sold for $24,000 ($30,960 with buyer’s premium) at Schwenke Auctioneers on December 12.

Magnussen worked for Gorham as artistic director for only a short time just before the Depression after emigrating to the U.S. in 1925. This 75oz footed bowl, marked Gorham alongside Magnussen’s monogram, assumes a hand-hammered 16in petal form supported by a cylindrical base and four spherical feet of turquoise. A marriage of Danish Arts and Crafts and the Art Deco style, it is typical of the innovative mixed-media designs that helped reinvigorate Gorham’s domestic silver line in the late 1920s, but ultimately sold poorly. This piece, part of a group of silver items from a New England educational institution – it had a scratched accession date of 09/27/89 to the base – is one of only a handful of examples of its type. The estimate was $3,000-$5,000.

After disappointing sales, Magnussen left Gorham shortly before the Wall Street crash in 1929 to work for the New York branch of the German firm August Dingeldein & Sohn. In 1932 he set up on his own, working first in Chicago and then in Los Angeles.

Some of the best lots in the sale came from the estate of Theodora Gibson Berg of New Canaan, Connecticut. They included a platinum, diamond, ruby and pearl necklace that – although unsigned – came in a fitted case labeled for Frank Walter Lawrence Inc. of Fifth Avenue, New York.

Lawrence (1864-1929) is best known for his contribution to the Arts and Crafts movement and turn of the century jewels inspired by history, color, and design rather than great intrinsic value (period newspapers credit him with pioneering jewelry featuring baroque pearls found in the Mississippi River). However, this necklace, with its pavé-set bows and diamond florettes, was likely made after 1913, when Lawrence and two of his cousins incorporated the firm. His cousins continued to run the business until 1975. The necklace hammered for $29,000 ($37,410 with buyer’s premium) against an estimate of $15,000-$20,000.

Among the furniture lots was a 3ft 9in Spanish domed coffer with elaborate tracery carving and wrought iron strap-work bindings. A good example of a type popular in the 17th century, it was estimated at $400-$600 but hammered for $15,000 ($19,350 with buyer’s premium).

MONTREAL, Canada — A fascinating and eclectic mix of items from the past provide additional color to Kavanagh’s Antiques, Decorative and Fine Arts Auction on Saturday, December 16. The catalog is now open for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

A group of three World War II, Korea War and Vietnam-era aviator flight jackets starts off the review. Two are lettered for the U.S. Navy, while a third seems to refer to the Army Air Force’s 9th Bomber Group, which served in Latin America and the Caribbean until being relocated to the South Pacific in 1944 towards the end of the war. One Vietnam-era example shows assignment to Gerald M. Felton (1948-2007) as plane captain of Attack Squadron 64. All three jackets carry a CA$100-CA$15,000 ($70-$11,035) estimate.

Once a powerhouse of American silver manufacturing, Gorham operated from 1831 to 1986, when a corporate takeover by the Textron conglomerate shuttered the plant. This set of four sterling silver scalloped-edge chargers are 11in in diameter, have a combined weight of 2,505 grams and an estimate of CA$500-CA$15,000 ($360-$11,035).

A wonderful overmantle mirror features everything you might want in a vintage Canadian antique: a miniature beaver figural centerpiece, maple leaf adornments and an intricate rope border. Its estimate is CA$100-CA$15,000 ($70-$11,035).

Little is known about Canadian artist Jeanette Helen Twist beyond a birthdate of 1910, a home in Toronto, Ontario, and her legacy of pastel portraits of Inuits that are often identified as being from the mid-1960s. This pastel of an Inuit woman’s face surrounded by her winter parka is estimated at CA$50-CA$15,000 ($30-$11,035).

CHICAGO — Demand for Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica-pattern porcelain was high at Hindman‘s August 24 Dining at Home auction, with numerous lots selling well above their estimates.

With a rich history dating to the early 19th century, Royal Copenhagen remains an auction favorite with buyers worldwide. Hindman’s lots came from two Chicago collectors, Marguerite Hark and Barbara D. Greenwood, and did not disappoint.

One of the sale’s top lots was a set of 12 Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica reticulated porcelain dinner plates, selling for $10,000 ($13,000 with buyers premium) against an estimate of $5,000-$10,000. Competitive bidding between the floor and internet kept the action lively.

The next lot was a presale favorite. The Flora Danica monteith with beautiful illustrations all around the dish was estimated at $2,000-$3,000, but ultimately sold to an internet bidder for $6,500 ($8,450 with buyers premium), underscoring its collectibility.

Decorated with Linnaea borealis L., this Flora Danica teapot from the 1992-1999 period of manufacture soared to $3,250 ($4,225 with buyers premium), well above its $1,000-$2,000 estimate.

The chocolate pot with two cups and saucers was another anticipated lot, leapfrogging its estimate of $1,500-$2,500 to land at $3,000 ($3,900 with buyers premium).

Outside of the Flora Danica collection, a set of 12 Gorham silver dinner plates soared above the $4,000-$6,000 estimate, selling for $10,000 ($13,000 with buyers premium).

CINCINNATI – A striking selection of 18th- and 19th-century silver and furniture achieved exceptional prices during the March 30th American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts auction at Hindman. Queen Anne, Chippendale and Federal furniture sold for strong prices, and music players also caught the attention of bidders. Additional top lots included four Andrew Clemens sand bottles that displayed the development of the renowned artist’s craft. A painting by William B.T. Trego depicting General Custer leading his men on horseback, from the collection of the Bloomington Public Library in Bloomington, Illinois, was another important lot. For years, the painting was believed to be completely lost.
