HORACE TOWNSEND THE SALE TO BE CONDUCTED BY MR. THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, MR. OTTO BERNET AND MR. H. H. PARKE, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, Managers MADISON SQUARE SOUTH, NEW YORK 1921 THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES AND DIRECTS ALL DETAILS OF ILLUSTRATION TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY BY WAY OF PREFACE Those who attend sales of Works of Art may be divided into two classes. There are collectors, each one of whom, as a rule, has a well-defined specialty and there are those who are given to the acquisition of some particular piece because of its inherent desirability or adaptability to fit into some pre-conceived plan of furnishing. Both of these will be interested in the Luigi Orselli Collec- tion, which the American Art Association oflfers at Unreserved Public Sale. For many years Mr. Orselli has been known as one of New York's most prominent Connoisseurs and Dealers in Italian Works of Art, and his Forty- seventh Street Gallerj^ has alwaj's been a center of attraction both to discrim- inating collectors and to those who buy a piece of old Furniture, a Textile or a Wrought Iron, because they see, at a glance, in their mind's eye, precisely the place it should worthily occupy in one or another of their own rooms.. Especially noteworthy were the upper floors of the gallery, which were trans- formed with rare intelligence into a series of rooms suggesting an Italian interior of the Middle Ages. There were an Entrance Hall, Dining, Living and Bed Rooms, the walls of which were decorated in the Florentine manner of the Fifteenth Century, while the fittings, draperies and other accessories, as well as all the Furniture, the Chairs, the Tables and the Cabinets, had been, for years, patiently and carefully chosen, and so placed and disposed as to offer a very concrete idea of the home surroundings of the Italians of Renais- sance times. These rooms, too, served as successful examples of the beauty of those old Italian decorations, the many brilliant colors of which were so harmonized as to offer an agreeable and satisfying ensemble. Mr. Orselli, too, was something more than a mere dealer in old things, he had a real and abiding love for them and a jlair for gatliering them together quite apart from all commercial consideration. He has always been a sedulous observer of, and a liberal purchaser at, the more notable sales of Italian Works of Art, where he was wont to acquire any pieces which were considered by him to be of genuine merit and of which he did not deem the price to be exorbitant, and he also has been fortunate in securing the active co-operation of Mr. J. Dabissi. As a natural consequence, his Collection is surprisingly diversified and contains articles which are likely to appeal to a vast number of tastes. Among the col- lections offered in this country from which he drew largely were those of the Davanzati Palace, of Prof. Elia Volpi and of Stefano Bardini, while he has secured either himself, or through his European establishment, examples from the leading collections dispersed in Italy and other countries. Among the things now offered for sale will be found many which are striking either on account of their unusual design or superb execution, as well as a number whose character is bound to attract those who desire a Table, a Chair, a Torchere or a Drapery which will fill "some long-felt want" in a room of either house or apartment. Indeed, it may be said that a most exceptional opportunity is offered by this sale of the Luigi Orselli Collection, in which there are many things of artistic significance which cannot fail to win the regard and attention of admirers of Italian art and of all those who love to surround themselves with objects of beauty, interest and quaintness. Horace Townsend. CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.
