358Carved pine Seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusettslast quarter 19th centuryCarved with the figure of an Indian dressed in a shirt, leggings and moccasins, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, with the Latin motto‘Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem’, (By the sword we seek peace but peace only under Liberty) inscribed in the banner.H: 69 in. W: 71 in.provenance:Before its removal this August, the seal hung on the exterior wall of a hunting lodge on the grounds of an estate in Meadowbrook Station, Pennsylvania. Theproperty was originally owned by Thomas B. Wanamaker (1862-1908), businessman and owner of the progressive Philadelphia newspaper ‘The NorthAmerican’ and son of legendary Philadelphia merchant John Wanamaker (1838-1922).note:The Commonwealth Seal portrayed in this large carving can be dated to the last quarter of the 19th century by comparing it to a variety of seals used byengravers of that period. The Massachusetts Legislature did not mandate the use of a single seal until 1898.John Wanamaker was very involved in the Financial Committee of the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition and it is thought that the seal may have been usedas one of the many ‘Trophies’ hanging from the exhibition halls at the Centennial and purchased at the close of festivities.$30,000-50,000

He moved to Philadelphia in 1798, andwas commissioned to design The Bank of Pennsylvania, the first major structure in theGreek Revival style in America. In 1799, Latrobe began work on the PhiladelphiaWaterworks. He proposed the use of steam-powered pumps to bring water from theSchuylkill River to the Center Square. There his temple-form marble Pump House housedthe steam engine that pumped water to a holding tank on the upper floor, and thendistributed water throughout the city by gravity through wooden pipes. Center Squarebecame a popular gathering spot and was used until the construction of the FairmountWaterworks in 1812. The structure was demolished in 1828. Latrobe also served asSurveyor of the Public Buildings of the United States. He worked on numerous publicbuildings including the White House and the United States Capitol Building. Thiswatercolor is one of the few extant drawings of Latrobe’s Philadelphia work. Acomprehensive conservation report and extensive research accompanies the lot.$30,000-40,000

865The Francis-Fisher-Coxe Chippendale carved mahogany card tablecarving attributed to the ‘garvan carver’philadelphia, pennsylvania, circa 1760The rectangular top with conforming hinged leaf opening to a lined playingsurface with rectangular inset candlestick recesses and oval counterrecesses above a shaped skirt carved with acanthus leaves centering acabochon pendant, the corners carved the cross-hatching and ‘C’-scrollscontinuing to acanthus leaf-carved cabriole legs ending in ball and claw feet;the swing rail reveals a hidden drawer.H: 29 1/4 in. W: 32 in. D: 15 1/2 in.provenance:The table was probably made for merchant Tench Francis, Jr. (1730-1800)and Anne Willing (1733-1812), daughter of Philadelphia mayor CharlesWilling and Anne Shippen, at the time of their marriage at Christ Church in1762. Tench Francis, Jr., a successful businessman and patriot contributed tothe Revolutionary cause from his personal wealth. As a result of his actions,Francis was appointed First Cashier of the Bank of North America, andPurveyor of Public Supplies. In the latter position he unified Navy purserswhich lead to the creation of the U.S. Navy Supply Corps. The tabledescended to their daughter Elizabeth Powel Francis (1771-1856), whomarried Joshua Fisher (1775-1806) son of Sarah Logan and Thomas Fisher;To their only child Joshua Francis Fisher (1807-1873) and his wife Eliza Izard

Middleton (1815-1890) of Middleton Place, Charleston, South Carolina,granddaughter of Arthur Middleton (1742-1787), Signer of the Declaration ofIndependence; To their daughter Maria Middleton Fisher (1847-1933) wife ofCharles Brinton Coxe (1833-1892), of Philadelphia; and thence by descent topresent owner.note:This card table has never been published or exhibited before. Theornamentation of this card table has been attributed to the as yetunidentified master Philadelphia craftsman, known as the ‘Garvan Carver’.This craftsman was first identified as the carver on a high chest of drawers inthe Mabel Brady Garvan Collection at Yale University Art Gallery. His workis distinguished by graceful, fluid naturalistic forms: sinuous leaves, shells,vines and flower heads. The carving is especially distinctive at the leaf endswhich twist and turn back on themselves; depth is created by groupings offine parallel cuts. The apron of this table exhibits such leaves. The sinuouslines of the cabriole legs are accentuated with scrolls and elongatedacanthus leaves ending in powerfully carved claw and ball feet.For two related card tables see Furniture Treasury, Wallace Nutting (1928)fig. 1022 and Sotheby’s Important American Furniture, New York, February 2,1991, Lot 1442.$200,000-300,000
