Nye & Company will hold a Chic and Antique Estate Treasures auction, online-only, January 19th-20th

BLOOMFIELD, N.J. - Jan. 5, 2022 - PRLog -- Nye & Company Auctioneers' two-day, online Chic and Antique Estate Treasures auction planned for Wednesday and Thursday, January 19^th and 20^th, at 10 am Eastern time both days, will offer a wide variety of fine and decorative arts, with a concentration on 17^th thru 20^th century paintings, furniture from the 18^th through the 21^st century, silver and jewelry.

The auction will be headlined by property from a private Southern New Jersey collection, the NAMITS collection, property from descendants of the New York and Philadelphia Clinedinst family, property descended in the Fulton, Ludlow, Livingston and Phillips families, property from the estate of John Strawbridge Lloyd of Philadelphia and, lastly, a small selection of Rev War-era property approved for deaccession by the Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York City.

A headliner of the auction is one of the earliest known paintings of Martin Van Buren, by Thomas Sully.  Initialed and dated 1810, the painting descended in the estate of John Strawbridge Lloyd.  This early Sully work depicts a young Van Buren in a striking half-length pose. Documentation goes back to the early 1920s, when it was sent to the Pennsylvania Museum of Art.

Also, coming from the New York and Philadelphia Clinedinst family is a portrait marked as Hannah Van Buren on the verso, but it is more likely a portrait of the late President's daughter-in-law, Angelica Singleton Van Buren, who assumed the role of "White House Hostess" during Martin's presidency.

The fine art category includes a bold yet refined 16^th/17^th century British School Portrait of a Gentleman, one that serves as a window into the life of Elizabethan aristocracy. For those who enjoy the Old Masters, there is a small selection of paintings from private collections. There are also a number of 19^th century American and European paintings from a private Southern New Jersey collection, led by a tonalist and impressionistic landscape by Emile Gruppe (1896-1978). The painting perfectly captures the New England landscape.
