Justus DaLee, 1793-1878,
American, Rochester, NY. DaLee's portraits rank high among
the upper echelon of early American portrait painters in both
quality, execution and detail. His portraits are found in the finest
collections and institutions and are highly prized and sought after
today. This portrait of Fenner King is a fine example of his work
depicting King in his advanced years. It rests in its original red
painted frame under early historic glass and dated 1839. Excellent
overall condition measuring 4.25 x 4.75 overall. An old price tag of
$2100. represents my price in 1999 when I sold it to Bryce and
Audrey Chase. Inventory number 25-262.
$2950.

A very eye-appealing early
20th century quarter fan quilt on a black ground. For us,
quilts are all about design and color and this "killer" example
fulfills that criteria. Its chosen colors are graphically pleasing
and jump out at you on a very neutral black background. Excellent
overall condition. Dimensions: 67 x 72. We don't buy many quilts
these days and it takes something very special to get our attention.
Inventory number 25-307.
