The John Perona Collection
European royalty, Hollywood stars, South American millionaires
and prominent figures in society, commerce and the arts all
gathered at El Morocco, the undisputed star of New York’s night
spots. Countless photographs of celebrities and socialites seated
on zebra-patterned banquettes beneath tropical palm trees
chronicle the Golden Era of New York’s night clubs, and through
those images, the legend of El Morocco still lives today.
EARLY LIFE
John E. Perona was born Giovanni Enrione Perona on January
18, 1897 in the village of Chiaverano near Ivrea in the Province of
Turin, Italy. His parents, Clemente Enrione Perona and the former
Rosa Ravera, were farmers. The seven Enrione Perona children
included John; his two brothers, Emilio (Emil) and Giuseppe
(Joe), both of whom also emigrated to the United States; and his
four sisters, Nota, Gina, Norina and Corinna.
In 1912 at the tender age of 15, John Perona departed for the
United States from Le Havre, France, on the French liner
S.S. Rochambeau, arriving in New York on May 22. He joined his
older brother, Emil, who had already emigrated in 1908 and was
working as a farmer in Sussex County, New Jersey. In 1917, Emil
established Perona Farms, where John worked through World
War I. Originally a dairy farm, Perona Farms eventually became a
genteel boarding house favored by prominent
actors and entertainers seeking a relaxed country respite from

proprietor of New York’s legendary
supper club – El Morocco.
the city. It is still owned by descendants of Emil Perona.
Following the end of the War in 1918, John Perona moved to
New York City and by 1919 was working in the restaurant business
as a busboy. On February 4, 1922, John married Eleonora (Eleanor)
Pauline Enriello Allono (1900-1959) in Greenwich Village at the
Church of Our Lady of Pompeii, in an earlier building predating
today’s imposing 1929 structure. Eleanor was the New York-born
daughter of Giovanni Enriello Allono and Anna Ciamporcero, Italian
immigrants from Ivrea. The newlyweds settled into their new home
on nearby Sullivan Street and welcomed the birth of their son,

Over the ensuing years, John opened other speakeasies catering
to a more upscale clientele. The Bath Club, described as
“Manhattan’s most elegant oasis,” was housed in the former
Ogden Mills Reid mansion at 35 West 53rd Street. Decorated in
a Turkish theme, it even featured a “lady’s bar,” a backgammon
room, and a ping pong room on its upper floors. The Jungle
Club at 201 West 52nd Street featured a “Spanish patio bar.”
In 1932, in partnership with his friend Peppy d’Albrew, a former
professional dancer, John transformed the shuttered Jungle
Club into Place Pigalle. The new club was decorated to resemble
Montmartre and featured a quartet of can-can dancers and a

After operating El Morocco for almost thirty years in the same

two blocks east to larger quarters at 307 East 54th Street.
The old club celebrated its final night on January 9, 1961, and
seventeen days later, John hosted the grand opening of the
newly expanded El Morocco. His health in decline, he traveled

where he died in his home at 400 East 52nd Street on June 9, 1961.
John Perona’s funeral at Holy Family Church in Union City,
New Jersey drew hundreds of mourners, among them many
prominent patrons of El Morocco. Later that year, John’s son,
Edwin, sold the club, marking the end of El Morocco’s heyday.
John Perona’s grandchildren, having treasured his collection

El Morocco with fans and collectors worldwide.

the 1930s onward. Included are early articles by Ed Sullivan, an
El Morocco regular, as well as those by Jerome Zerbe, Lucious
Beebe, Walter Winchell and others including several clippings

Bath Club Raided” about the demise of a 53rd street speakeasy
and “Whaddya Mean, Rift?” above a photograph of Errol Flynn
and his wife. A dapper tuxedo-clad Clark Gable looks stunned
under the headline “Gable’s Wife asks Divorce”, Max Baer
refused to fight under the headline “No dough, No fight” and
things got wild at the opening night party at El Morocco as
“Party Guests Hang on Chandeliers.” The papers recorded
famous and foreign visitors to El Morocco under headlines such
as “Visitors from London indulge in Gotham’s Night Life Whirl”
and “N.Y. Night Clubs and Cafes Jammed as Wave of Gaiety

FIRPO, LUIS ANGEL. Group of six signed items and ephemera. Comprising two
autographed vintage photographs, three postcards signed, and one signed piece of
currency. Most addressed and inscribed to John Perona, circa 1923. Each mounted to
disbound album sheets. The largest photograph (7 x 5 inches) depicts Firpo in the training
ring with two women (Miss New York & Miss Buffalo); the smaller photograph depicts
Firpo on the deck of a ship in March 1923; the postcards postmarked from Mexico
(June 1923), Montreal, and Philadelphia (August 1923); and the currency dated
October 1923. Mounted minor creases and wear.
Luis Angel Firpo (1895-1960) was an Argentinian Heavyweight boxer who fought Jack
Dempsey in New York in September 1923 in a title-bout that is considered one of the
greatest fights of all time. This rare archive of signed items to friend John Perona dates
from the period surrounding this historic fight. While Dempsey defeated Firpo in the
second round, Firpo knocked his opponent out of the ring in the first round resulting in
Dempsey hitting his head hard on a sportswriter’s typewriter nearly causing him not to
return to the fight. The moment was famously captured by George Bellows in his 1924
Dempsey and Firpo. Despite his fame, the autograph of the most well-known Latin
American heavyweight is scarce. The ephemera included in the lot includes newspaper
clippings including one from the day following the fight “Dempsey wins most terrific
fight in history” and, in true El Morocco style, the sub-header reads “Firpo Tangoes and
Joins Revel Until Two O’Clock After Fight.”

BURTON, RICHARD [trans.]. The Book of the Thousand
Nights and a Night, with Supplemental Nights. Benares:
Kamashastra Society, 1885-88. First edition. Sixteen volumes,
full dark-green morocco by H.S. Nichols Ltd., spines heavily
gilt, moire silk endpapers, gilt dentelles, top edges gilt,
original cloth bound in at the rear of most volumes.
9 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches (24 x 15 cm); illustrated throughout
with remarque proofs on Japan paper. Spines uniformly
sunned to brown, a few very minor marks to covers, but
a sound, well bound and attractive set.
Often considered Burton’s most enduring work, the first
ten volumes were issued in 1885, and the balance three
years later. The edition was one thousand copies. This
translation is quite explicit, as are some of Burton’s notes.
The Kamashastra Society was Burton’s vehicle to avoid
prosecution, which would have been likely if this work had
been published in an open edition. Privately disseminating
works with explicit content among the members of a society
was legal, and was the means by which Burton skirted the
obscenity laws.

Glossary
The following examples define some of the terms
used in this catalogue. The reader is reminded
that all of the terms and descriptions used in
this catalogue as to authorship, period, culture,
source or origin for any property are made and
used as qualified statements and opinions only,
and are subject to the Conditions of Sale and the
Terms of Guarantee.
In connection with the attribution of authorship,
as described in paragraph 2 of the Terms of
Guarantee, the following terms are used in this
catalogue, and are defined as follows:
FURNITURE and DECORATIONS
Regency Rosewood Sofa Table
First quarter of the 19th century. This heading
with the date included means that the piece is, in
our best judgment, of the period indicated with
no major alterations or restorations.
Regency Rosewood Sofa Table
This heading without inclusion of a date indicates
that in our best judgment, the piece, while
basically of the period, has been substantially
altered or restored and in some cases it may also
indicate that the piece has been constructed from
old parts.
Regency Style Sofa Table
The inclusion of the word “style” in the heading
indicates that, in our opinion, the piece is an
intentional copy or reproduction of an earlier
work or style of works.
PAINTINGS
Nicolaes Maes
In our best judgment the work is by the named
artist. This is our highest category of authenticity
in the present catalogue.
Attributed to Nicolaes Maes
In our best judgment, while the work is of the
period of the named artist, and on the basis of
style can be ascribed to him, we cannot state with
certainty that it is by him.
School of Nicolaes Maes
In our best judgment, the work is of the period of
the named artist, by a pupil or close follower of
the artist, but is not by the artist.
Circle of Nicolaes Maes
In our best judgment, the work is of the period of
the named artist and closely related to his style.
Manner of Nicolaes Maes or After
Nicolaes Maes or Follower of
Nicolaes Maes
In our best judgment, although the work is in the
style of or a copy of a work by the named artist, it
is of a later period.
Conditions of Sale
Signed Nicolaes Maes
In our best judgment, the signature, monogram,
initials or other similar indicia of authorship is a
recognized signature of the artist and appears in
one of the six areas of the painting designated as
follows:
(u.l.) Upper left
(l.l.) Lower left
(u.r.) Upper right
(l.r.) Lower right
(u.c.) Upper center
(l.c.) Lower center
Bears signature, Nicolaes Maes
In our best judgment, the signature, monogram,
initials or other similar indicia of authorship is not
that of the artist and may have been added at a
later date.
Dated
In our best judgment, the date indicated on the
work is the date the work was executed.
Dated (for bronzes)
In our best judgment, the date indicated when
the original model was executed. Since the exact
date of the casting of a bronze sculpture is often
unknown and illustrations
in reference books may not specify which
particular cast is discussed or illustrated, it should
be pointed out that dates of execution and
entries listed under Literature in the
individual catalogue entries do not necessarily
refer to the castings included in the sale.
PRINTS
Name of Artist
Subject to the Conditions of Sale and Terms of
Guarantee set forth in this catalogue, and except
where stated as being “after” or “attributed to”
an artist, each lot is by the artist appearing at
the head of the lot, except in the case of lots
containing works by more than one artist.
Title
If there is a generally accepted title for the print,
that title is given in upper case at the beginning
of the lot description. If the work has no title or
the title is unknown to us, a descriptive title is
given in brackets.
References
Information from the standard catalogues of the
artists’ works is cited when possible following the
title.
Medium
The mediums are described as fully as possible,
although secondary techniques may not be listed.
Date
The date given is that of the original plate, block,
stone or screen. It is not necessarily the date at
which the impression offered for sale was printed.
Edition
Information regarding the size of the edition is
given when possible.
I
Signature
Only manuscript signatures of the artists are
indicated. Signatures “in the plate” are not
mentioned since they are considered part of
the image.
Quality and Condition
An attempt has been made to give relevant
information concerning the quality of the
impression, the size of the margins and the
condition of the prints when possible. These
descriptions are qualified statements or
opinions only, and are made subject to the
Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee.
The print sleeves are the property of Doyle New
York and are not included in the sale.

neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes
any warranties or representations, express or
implied, with respect to such lots, except for the
limited warranties expressly stated in the Terms of
Guarantee section of this catalogue. Prospective
buyers are strongly advised to examine personally
any property in which they are interested,
before the auction takes place, to determine its
condition, size, and whether or not it has been
repaired or restored.
Except as otherwise expressly and specifically
provided in the Terms of Guarantee, neither
Doyle New York nor its consignor makes any
express or implied warranty or representation of
any kind or nature with respect to merchantability,
fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue
or other description of the physical condition,
size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material,
genuineness, attribution, provenance, period,
culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or
historical significance of any lot sold. The absence
of any reference to the condition of a lot does
not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or
completely free from wear and tear, imperfections
or the effects of aging; nor does a reference to
particular defects imply the absence of others.
References in the catalogue entry or the
condition report to damage or restoration are
for guidance only and should be evaluated
by personal inspection by the bidder or a
knowledgeable representative.
The Terms of Guarantee are controlling, and no
statement, whether written or oral, and whether
made in this catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of
sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the
remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be
deemed to create any warranty,
representation or assumption of liability. All statements by Doyle New York in the catalogue entry
for the property or in the condition report, or
made orally or in writing elsewhere, are
statements of opinion and are not to be relied
on as statements of fact. Except as stated in the
Terms of Guarantee, neither Doyle New York nor
the seller is responsible in any way for errors or
omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental
material. Buyers are responsible for satisfying
themselves concerning the condition of the
property and the matters referred to in the
catalogue entry.
Doyle New York and its consignor make no
warranty or representation, express or implied,
that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or
reproduction rights to any lot sold. Doyle New
York expressly reserves the right to reproduce
any image of the lots sold in this catalogue. The
copyright in all images, illustrations and written
material produced by or for Doyle New York
relating to a lot, including the contents of this
catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the
property of Doyle New York and shall not be used
by the buyer, nor by anyone else, without our
prior written consent.
revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall
below or above this range. An estimate of the
selling price should not be relied on as a
statement that this is the price at which the
item will sell or its value for any other purpose.
Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium.
Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please
contact the Specialist Department for
further information.
3. WITHDRAWAL
6. BIDDING
Doyle New York reserves the right to withdraw
any lot at any time prior to the commencement
of bidding for such lot and shall have no liability
whatsoever for such withdrawal.
4. RESERVES
If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is
below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer
may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from
sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening
bid, he decides that any advance thereafter is
insufficient, he may reject that advance.
Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered
subject to a reserve, which is the confidential
minimum price below which such lot will not be
sold. No reserve will exceed the low estimate
of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with the
consignor or, in the absence thereof, in the
absolute discretion of Doyle New York.
Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all
bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue.
Lots marked C preceding the estimate are
consigned and reserved. Those marked • are
reserved property in which Doyle New York has
an interest.
Doyle New York on occasion makes loans or
advances funds to consignors.
The auctioneer may implement the reserve by
opening bidding on any lot by placing a bid
on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer will not
specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the
seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf
of the seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by
placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot
or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
Unless otherwise noted in the catalogue or by an
announcement at the auction, Doyle New York
acts as agent on behalf of the seller and does not
permit the seller to bid on his or her
own property.
5. ESTIMATES
Each lot in the catalogue is given a low and high
estimate representing that range which, in the
opinion of Doyle New York, represents a fair and
probable auction value. When possible, the
estimate is based on previous auction records
of comparable property, condition, rarity,
quality and provenances. The estimates are often
determined several months before a sale and are
therefore subject to change upon further research
of the property, or to reflect market conditions
or currency fluctuations. Estimates are subject to
Doyle New York reserves the right, at our
complete discretion, to refuse admission to the
premises or participation in any auction and to
reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to
acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder
acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the
purchaser. The auctioneer has the right at his
absolute and sole discretion to advance the
bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to
withdraw or divide any lot, and to combine any
two or more lots. In the event of error or dispute
between bidders, or in the event of doubt on
our part as to the validity of any bid, whether
during or after the sale, the auctioneer has final
discretion to determine the successful bidder, to
continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to
reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute
arises after the sale, the Doyle New York sale
record shall be conclusive.
7. PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITY

hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder,
subject to the conditions of sale set forth herein.
Such bidder thereupon assumes full risk and
responsibility therefor (including, without
limitation, liability for or damage to frames and
glass covering prints, paintings or other works).
Although in our discretion we will execute orders
or absentee bids or accept telephone bids as a
convenience to clients who are not present at

omissions in connection therewith.

personal liability to pay the purchase price as

purchaser is the amount of the successful bid
price plus a premium of 25% on the first $100,000
of the hammer price, 20% on the portion from

portion of the hammer price exceeding
$2,000,000. Payment shall be made as follows:

the day of the auction. Such payment shall be

are made with Doyle New York. The buyer will
not acquire title to the lot until we have received
all amounts due to us from the buyer in good
cleared funds even in circumstances where we
have released the lot to the buyer. Doyle New
York reserves the right to hold merchandise
purchased by personal check until the check has
cleared the bank. The purchaser agrees to pay
Doyle New York a handling charge of $35 for any
check dishonored by the drawee.

purchaser’s obligations to us, any property or
money of or owing to such purchaser in our

of Guarantee, as well as the purchaser’s and our
respective rights and obligations hereunder,
the conduct of the auction and any matters
connected with any of the foregoing, shall be
governed and interpreted by the laws of the
State of New York. By bidding at auction, whether
present in person or by agent, by written bid,
telephone or other means, the buyer shall be
deemed to have submitted, for the benefit of
Doyle New York, to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the federal or state courts located in the state and
county of New York and waives any objection to
the jurisdiction and venue of any such court.
Doyle New York warrants the authenticity of
authorship of each lot contained in this catalogue
solely and expressly subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below.
1. DEFINITION OF AUTHORSHIP
“Authorship” is defined as the artist, artisan,
workshop, designer, school, period, culture, or
source of origin, as applicable and indicated in
the description of the lot. The warranted
information appears in bold print immediately
following the individual lot number; no other
language in the catalogue is warranted, including
any supplemental material which appears below
the bold print headings. Doyle New York is not
responsible for any errors or omissions in any
material, which appears below the bold print
headings. The description of authorship in this
catalogue may be amended by a supplement to
the catalogue, or by notices or announcements
at the time and place of the auction sale. This
catalogue may contain one or more glossaries
explaining the terminology used in the catalogue.
All terminology used in this catalogue, including
the contents of the glossaries, are merely
qualified statements or opinions and are not
intended or made as warranted statements or
representations under these Terms of Guarantee.
Doyle New York makes no warranties whatsoever,
express or implied, with respect to any material
in the catalogue, except as set forth in bold print
headings following individual lot numbers in this
catalogue and subject to the exclusions set
forth below.
2. COVERAGE UNDER
THE GUARANTEE
Subject to the exclusions set forth below in
paragraphs 5 and 6, Doyle New York warrants the
authorship (as that term is defined above) of each
lot in this catalogue for a period of five years from
the date of the sale of the lot. The guarantee is
made only to the original purchaser of record at
the auction, and only the registered bidder for
the lot at the auction will be considered as the
original purchaser. The buyer must give written
notice of claim within five years from the date of
the auction. Doyle New York may require,
at its option, to have the purchaser obtain at the
purchaser’s expense the opinion of two
recognized experts (approved by Doyle New
York) in the field relating to the item in question,
before Doyle New York determines whether to
rescind a sale under the above warranty. Upon
request, Doyle New York will provide the
purchaser with the names of acceptable experts.
3. NON-ASSIGNABILITY
The benefits of this warranty are not assignable
and shall be applicable only to the original
purchaser of record (i.e., the registered bidder)
and not to any subsequent owners (including,
without limitation, donees, heirs, successors,
beneficiaries or assigns) who have, or may
acquire, an interest in any purchased property.
The original buyer must have remained the owner
of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to
any third party.
4. SOLE REMEDY
The purchaser agrees that in the case of a breach
of warranty under these Terms of Guarantee, he
shall have no remedy other than rescission of the
sale and the refund of the original purchase price
paid. The original purchase price paid is defined
as the amount of the successful bid price, plus the
buyer’s premium. No rescission and refund will be
made unless the item is returned to Doyle New
York at 175 East 87th Street, New York, NY 10128,
in the same condition as at the time of sale. The
remedy of rescission and refund is exclusive and
the purchaser waives any other remedy which
may be otherwise available in law or equity.
Doyle New York shall not be liable for any special,
consequential or incidental damages incurred
or claimed including, without limitation, loss of
profits or for interest.
5. EXCLUSIONS
This warranty does not apply to:
i. authorship of any paintings, drawings or
sculpture created prior to 1870, unless the lot is
determined to be a counterfeit which has a value
at the date of the claim for rescission which is
materially less than the purchase price paid for
the lot; or
ii. any catalogue description where it was
specifically mentioned that there is a conflict of
specialist opinion on the authorship of a lot; or
iii. authorship which on the date of sale was in
accordance with the then generally accepted
opinion of scholars and specialists, despite
the subsequent discovery of new information,
whether historical or physical, concerning the artist or craftsman, his students, school,
workshop or followers; or
iv. the identification of periods or dates of
execution which may be proven inaccurate by
means of scientific processes not generally
accepted for use until after publication of the
catalogue, or which were unreasonably expensive
or impractical to use at the time of publication of
the catalogue.
The term counterfeit is defined as a modern fake
or forgery, made less than fifty years ago, and
made with the intent to deceive. The authenticity
of signatures, monograms, initials or other similar
indications of authorship is expressly excluded as
a controlling factor in determining whether a work
is a counterfeit under the meaning of this Terms
of Warranty.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY
As stated in paragraph 2 of the Conditions of
Sale, neither Doyle New York nor its consignor
makes any express or implied representations or
warranties whatsoever concerning any property
in the catalogue, including without limitation,
any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, except as specifically and
expressly provided in these Terms of Guarantee.
IV
Information on Sales and Use Tax Related to
Purchases at Auction
To better assist our clients, we have prepared
the following information on Sales and Use
Tax related to property purchased at auction.
WHY DOYLE NEW YORK
COLLECTS SALES TAX
WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK IS NOT
REQUIRED TO COLLECT SALES TAX
Virtually all State Sales Tax Laws require a
corporation to register with the State’s Tax
Authorities and collect and remit sales tax if the
corporation maintains a presence within the state,
such as offices. In the states that impose sales tax,
Tax Laws require an auction house, with a
presence in the state, to register as a sales tax
collector, and remit sales taxcollected to the
state. New York sales tax is charged on the
hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other
applicable charges on any property picked up
or delivered in New York, regardless of the state
or country in which the purchaser resides or
does business.
Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax
on property delivered to states other than those
listed above. If the property is delivered to a state
where Doyle New York is not required to collect
sales tax, it is the responsibility of the purchaser
to self-assess any sales or use tax and remit it to
taxing authorities in that state.
WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK
COLLECTS SALES TAX
Doyle New York is currently registered to collect
sales tax in the following states: New York and the
District of Columbia.
For any property collected or received by the
purchaser in New York City, such property is
subject to sales tax at the existing New York State
and City rate of 8.875%.
If the property is delivered into any of the states
in which Doyle New York is registered, Doyle New
York is required by law to collect and remit the
appropriate sales tax in effect in the state where
the property is delivered.
Property collected from Doyle New York premises
by common carriers on behalf of the purchaser for
delivery to the purchaser at his address outside
of New York is not subject to New York Sales Tax.
If it is delivered by the common carrier to any of
the states where Doyle New York is required to
collect sales tax, applicable tax will be added to
the purchase price.
Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax
for property delivered to the purchaser outside of
the United States.
RESTORATION AND
OTHER SERVICES
Regardless of where the property is subsequently
transported, if any framing or restoration services
are performed in New York, it is considered to be
a delivery of the property to the purchaser in New
York, and Doyle New York will be required to
collect the 8.875% New York sales tax.
LOCAL TAX ADVISORS
As sales tax laws vary from state to state,
Doyle New York recommends that clients with
questions regarding the application of sales or
use taxes to property purchased at auction seek
tax advice form their local tax advisors.
CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS
Most states that impose sales taxes allow for
specified exemptions to the tax. For example, a
registered re-seller such as a registered art dealer
may purchase without incurring a tax liability, and
Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax
from such re-seller. The art dealer, when re-selling
the property, may be required to charge sales
tax to its client, or the client may be required
to self-assess sales or use tax upon acquiring
the property.
If a not-for-profit or charitable organization is
selling property through Doyle New York, it
may be sold as a tax exempted purchase. The
not-for-profit seller must be registered with the
New York Department of Taxation and Finance as
an exempt organization and the property must
be picked up or delivered in New York. However,
a compensating use tax is due from the buyer if
any such lot is shipped to any of the states where
Doyle New York maintains offices. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due.
Buyers claiming exemption from sales tax must
have the appropriate documentation on file with
Doyle New York prior to the release of
the property.
Buying at Doyle
Since 1963, Doyle New York has built a worldwide
reputation for expertise, integrity and service. In
our New York salesrooms, we hold approximately
forty auctions annually featuring fine art, jewelry,
furniture, decorative arts, books, prints, couture
and a variety of other categories. Our global
audience of buyers and sellers know the quality of
our sales and appreciate our standard of service.
If you are new to the auction process, please take
a moment to review the following information.
The following will help in understanding the
auction buying process. All bidders should read
the Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee
in this catalogue, as well as the Glossary or any
other notices. By bidding at auction, bidders are
bound by the Conditions of Sale and Terms of
Guarantee, as amended by oral announcements
or posted notices, which together form the sale
contract between the successful bidder
(purchaser), Doyle New York and the seller
(consignor) of the lot.
BEFORE YOU BID
Doyle New York produces both printed and Internet auction catalogues that contain
descriptions of the property being offered and
the presale estimates and are available prior to
the sale date. Our free Internet catalogues,
available at Doyle.com, also provide illustrations,
direct communication with our
specialists, and the ability to leave online
absentee bids and track lots. The catalogues will
help familiarize you with property being offered
at the designated auction. In addition,
Doyle.com offers a free Internet Personal
Shopper that allows collectors to enter keywords
of objects they are seeking. As each Internet
auction catalogue is posted online, the collector
is notified by email of any matches.
A prospective buyer must complete and sign
a registration form and provide identification
before bidding. We may require the production
of bank or other financial references.
Provenance
In certain circumstances, Doyle New York may
print in the catalogue the history of ownership of
a work of art if such information contributes to
scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists
in distinguishing the work of art. However, the
identity of the seller or previous owners may not
be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For
example, such information may be excluded
to accommodate a seller’s request for
confidentiality or because the identity of prior
owners is unknown given the age of the work
of art.
Specialist’s Advice
Prospective bidders may be interested in
specific information not included in the catalogue
description of a lot. For additional information
please contact either a Doyle New York specialist
or Doyle New York’s Client Services Department.
You may also request a condition report from the
specialist in charge.
V
BIDDING AT AUCTION
Auctions are open to the public without any
admission fee or obligation to bid. Pre-auction
viewings are open to the public free of charge.
Doyle New York’s specialists are available to give
advice and condition reports at viewings or by
appointment. The auctioneer introduces the
objects for sale - known as “lots” - in numerical
order as listed in the catalogue. The auctioneer
accepts bids from those present in the salesroom,
from telephone bidders, from Internet bidders or
by absentee written bids left with Doyle New York
in advance of the auction.
Live Bidding
The most exciting way to participate at auction
is the traditional method of bidding live in the
salesroom with an auction paddle. Buyers who
would like to bid may register for a paddle on the
day of the sale upon entering the salesroom at
least 30 minutes before the sale. The paddle is
numbered so as to identify you to the auctioneer.
To register, you will need a form of identification
such as a driver’s license or credit card. If you
are a first-time bidder, you will also be asked for
your address, phone number and signature and
a bank reference in order to create your account.
To avoid any delay in the release of purchases,
please pre-arrange check or credit approval
through Doyle New York’s Credit Department
at 212-427-4141 ext. 205. If you are bidding for
someone else, you will need to provide a letter
from that person authorizing you to bid on that
person’s behalf. Issuance of a bid paddle is in
Doyle New York’s sole discretion.
Once the first bid has been placed, the
auctioneer asks for higher bids, in increments
determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid,
simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer
acknowledges you.
As a courtesy to bidders, a currency board may
be operated. It displays the lot number and
current bid in both U.S. dollars and foreign
currency. Exchange rates are approximations
based on recent exchange rate information and
should not be relied upon as a precise invoice
amount. Doyle New York assumes no
responsibility for any error or omission in foreign
or United States currency amounts shown.
Telephone Bidding
Clients unable to attend the sale may still
participate live by bidding on the telephone with
a trained staff member on the auction floor. The
Telephone Bid Forms are available on our Web
site, in our printed catalogue, and through our
Client Services Department. Please contact the
Bid Department prior to the sale to make arrangements or to answer any questions you may
have. Telephone bids are accepted only at Doyle
New York’s discretion and at the caller’s risk.
Calls may also be recorded at Doyle New York’s
discretion. By bidding on the telephone,
prospective buyers consent thereto. Telephone
bids cannot be accepted for lot estimated below
$1,000. Arrangements must be confirmed with
the Bid Department at least 24 hours prior to the
auction at 212-427-4141 ext. 242. Arrangements
to bid in languages other than English must be
made well in advance of the sale date.
Doyle New York offers all absentee and
telephone bidding services as a convenience to
our clients but will not be responsible for errors
or failuresto execute bids.
Absentee Bidding
For buyers unable to participate live in the
salesroom or on the telephone, Doyle offers the
option of Absentee Bids. Absentee Bids work
exactly as if the bidder were in the salesroom
bidding up to a predetermined price limit, except
that the price limit is given confidentially to Doyle
ahead of time. Absentee Bid Forms are available
on our Web site, in our printed catalogues, and
through our Client Services Department. Return
the completed Absentee Bid Form to Doyle New
York either by mail or by fax. When the lot that
you are interested in comes up for sale, a Doyle
New York representative will execute the bid on
your behalf, making every effort to purchase the
item for as little as possible and never exceeding
your limit. The auctioneer may execute absentee
bids directly from the rostrum, identifying these
as “absentee bids,” “book bids,” or “order bids.”
This service is free and confidential. For detailed
instructions and information, please see the
Doyle New York Absentee Bid Form at the back
of this catalogue or on our Web site. In the event
that identical bids are submitted, the earliest will
take precedence.
Internet Bidding
Buyers may also conveniently leave bids on our
Web site through our Internet catalogues. These
bids are executed at the auction in the same
fashion as an Absentee Bid.

Successful Bids
Successful absentee bidders will be notified
after the sale. Absentee bidders will receive
a list of sale results if they enclose a stamped
self-addressed envelope with their Absentee Bid
Form. Printed lists of auction prices are available
immediately after the sale on our Web site and at
our galleries. While invoices are sent out by mail
after the auction, we do not accept responsibility
for notifying you of the result of your bids. Buyers
are requested to contact us by telephone or in
person as soon as possible after the sale to
obtain details of the outcome of their bids to
avoid incurring unnecessary storage charges.
After The Auction
If your bid is successful, you can go directly to
Purchaser Accounting to make payment
arrangements. Otherwise, your invoice will be
mailed to you. The final price is determined by
adding the buyer’s premium to the hammer price
on a per-lot basis. Sales tax, where applicable,
will be charged on the entire amount. Payment
is due in full immediately after the sale. However,
under certain circumstances, and generally with
the seller’s agreement, Doyle New York may offer
buyers it deems creditworthy the option of an
extended payment plan. Credit terms should be
arranged prior to the sale. Please contact the
Credit Department for information on credit
arrangements for a particular lot.
Methods of Payment
Accepted forms of payment include bank wire
transfers, cash (in US currency up to $5,000),
traveler’s check (in US currency up to $5,000),
money orders (in US currency up to $5,000),
or personal check made payable in US dollars
drawn on a US bank, unless other arrangements
are made with Purchaser Accounts. It is Doyle
New York’s policy to request any new clients or
purchasers preferring to make a cash payment
to provide: verification of identity (by providing
some form of government issued identification
containing a photograph, such as a passport,
identity card, or driver’s license), confirmation
of permanent address and identification of the
source of the funds. Invoices greater than $5,000
require payment by certified check, bank check
or wire transfer. Credit cards are not accepted for
payment of auction purchases.
VII
Selling at Doyle
To pay for a purchase by check, please see our
cashier and fill out a Check Acceptance
Account form. Until approved, you will not be
permitted to remove purchases before the check
has cleared. To avoid delivery delays, prospective
buyers are encouraged to supply bank or other
suitable references before the auction. Check
acceptance privileges are reviewed from time to
time by Doyle New York and may be granted or
withdrawn at our sole discretion. Checks should
be made payable to Doyle New York. Note that
checks drawn on foreign banks may be accepted
with the approval of the Credit Department, may
not be accepted for values under $500, and that
there is a $100 minimum collection charge on
checks drawn on foreign banks located outside
the U.S. Certified checks, banker’s drafts and
cashier’s checks are accepted at Doyle New York’s
discretion provided they are issued by a
reputable financial institution governed by
anti-money laundering laws. Instruments not
meeting these requirements will be treated
as “cash equivalents” and subject to the
constraints noted above.
Storage Fees
Pursuant to section 8 of our Conditions of Sale,
we request that successful buyers collect their
property within two business days following the
sale. Should the property (except jewelry, coins,
stamps or as announced by the auctioneer)
remain on our premises for more than 31 days
following a sale it will be transferred to an
independent warehouse on the buyer’s behalf
at the purchaser’s risk and subject to storage
charges at the purchaser’s expense. As
transferred property will no longer be in Doyle
New York’s custody or care, Doyle New York will
not be able to assist you with pick-up or shipping
arrangements. To avoid storage charges, please
arrange for the removal of your purchases as soon
as possible.
At Doyle New York, we commit our expertise,
experience, market knowledge and global
outreach to every sale. The numerous auction
records set in our salesrooms are testimony to
the advantages of selling property at Doyle. To
make the auction process as easy and convenient
as possible, our team of dedicated professionals
will guide you through the entire appraisal and
auction procedure. As part of our commitment
to providing comprehensive auction services to
collectors, institutions and estates, Doyle New
York offers several options to those seeking to
sell their property: consignment of the objects to
auction at Doyle, outright sale of the objects to
Doyle, a combination of both, or referrals to
other organizations.
Please Note: Transfer to a Storage facility of
uncollected purchases past the 31-day grace
period will constitute delivery of the property to
the buyer in New York State. As a result, buyer will
be liable to pay New York State Sales Tax if not
tax-exempt.
OBTAINING AN APPRAISAL
Please direct inquiries regarding wire transfer
or ACH credit to Steven L. Kuzio, 212.427.4141
ext. 202, steven.kuzio@doyle.com
The charges are payable to an outside Storage
Company and therefore cannot be waived by
Doyle New York. We encourage all buyers to
collect purchased property within two business
days following the sale.
Buyer’s Premium
The invoice will include the successful hammer
price of the item and the buyer’s premium.
Doyle New York charges a premium to the buyer
on the final bid price of each lot sold at the
following rates: 25% on the first $100,000 of
the hammer price, 20% on the portion of the
hammer price from $100,001 through $2,000,000,
12% on the portion of the hammer price
exceeding $2,000,000. Applicable sales tax will
also be added to the final total. New York Sales
tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s
premium and any other applicable charges on
any property picked up or delivered in New York
State, regardless of the state or country in which
the purchaser resides or does business. Please
refer to “Information on Sales and Use Tax
Related to Purchases at Auction” in the back
of the catalogue. All sales are final and subject
to the Conditions of Sale.
Pick-Ups
Once your payment has been cleared, property
may be released. Unless otherwise agreed by
Doyle New York, auction purchases should be
paid for and picked up at Doyle New York within
48 hours of the auction. Items left beyond the
48 hours may be subject to a storage fee (see
below). Please note that the hours for removal of
property are Monday through Friday from 8:15am
until 4:45pm, except on auction days during
which only purchases made that day may be
picked up. As a courtesy to purchasers who come
to Doyle New York to pick up property, Doyle
New York will assist in the packing of lots,
although Doyle New York may, in the case of
fragile articles, choose not to pack or otherwise
handle a purchase. Doyle New York will not be
responsible or liable for damage to glass covering
paintings, drawings or other works, or damage to
frames, regardless of cause.
In order to collect property from Yorkville Van and
Storage, buyers must present a copy of a paid
invoice bearing a Yorkville warehouse release
stamp. This warehouse release stamp can only
be obtained from the cashier at Doyle New York’s
main reception desk located at 175 East 87th St
in Manhattan.
Shipping
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Upon
request, our Client Services Department will
provide a list of shippers who deliver to
destinations within the United States and
overseas. Kindly disregard the sales tax if an
I.C.C. licensed shipper will ship your purchases
anywhere outside the state of New York or the
District of Columbia.
Endangered Species
Certain property sold at auction, for example,
items made of or incorporating plant or animal
materials such as coral, crocodile, ivory,
whalebone, tortoise shell, etc., irrespective of
age or value, may require a license or certificate
prior to exportation and additional licenses or
certificates upon importation to another country.
Doyle New York suggests that buyers check on
their government wildlife import requirements
prior to placing a bid. Although licenses can be
obtained to export some types of endangered
species, other types may not be exported at all,
and other types may not be resold in the
United States.
The first step in selling property at auction is to
obtain a free informal appraisal of the item. The
appraisal includes an estimated value, which is
the specialist’s best judgement as to what the
object will sell for at auction. The figure is based
upon the specialist’s expertise and knowledge
of what similar items are fetching in the current
auction market.
There are various ways to obtain appraisals.
Information and appointments to view property
in your home or in the gallery can be arranged
through our Scheduling Department, an
appropriate Specialist Department, or a Doyle
New York Regional Representative. Once your
property has been evaluated, Doyle New York
representatives can then help you determine how
to proceed with the auction process. They will
provide information regarding sellers’
commission rates and other charges, auction
timetable, shipping and any other further services
you may require.
Submitting Photographs
We welcome photographs of property to
evaluate for possible auction if the property is
not portable, or if you are not able to visit our
galleries. If you have a large collection, a
representative selection of photographs is
acceptable. Please bring in the photographs or
email photos of your objects to the Scheduling
Department. You may also mail photographs to
the Scheduling Department, or call them at
212-427-4141, ext. 260, to discuss your property
and perhaps arrange an appointment with a
specialist. Please be sure to include the
dimensions, artist’s signature or maker’s mark,
medium, physical condition, and any other
relevant information. Our specialists will provide a
free preliminary auction estimate subject to a final
estimate upon first hand inspection.
Regional Appraisal Days
Doyle New York’s Regional Representatives host
free appraisal days on a regular basis throughout
Connecticut, the metropolitan Washington, DC
area, as well as in other areas throughout the
United States. These popular events provide ease
and convenience for collectors outside of New
York who wish to sell their property at Doyle. At
these events, we accept property for upcoming
auctions in our New York salesrooms through
both consignment and outright purchase.
SELLING YOUR PROPERTY
Consigning To Auction
In consigning property to auction, the seller
retains ownership until the successful sale of the
item at auction. When property is consigned to
Doyle for auction, we devote the expertise of
our specialists and professional staff to achieving
outstanding prices at auction.
The Consignment Contract
When you consign property to Doyle New York
you will receive two copies of our Consignment
Agreement, the legal document delineating
the terms of sale. One copy should be initialed,
signed and returned; the other kept for your
records. Once the property is received in our
gallery, you will be sent a Contract Schedule
listing the property, the planned sale dates, the
estimated price ranges, and the reserves will be
listed, along with the agreed upon seller’s
commission and other related fees.
Reserve Price
Before an item is offered at auction, the
consignor and Doyle New York may agree on
a reserve price, a confidential minimum selling
price. Unless a specific reserve is arranged, a
discretionary reserve is fixed at fifty percent of
the low estimate. If the consignor designates a
reserve on a lot, and it remains unsold, there will
be a buy-in fee charged on the reserve price.
Outright Sale To Doyle
Outright purchase of property by Doyle allows the
seller the advantage and convenience of immediate payment. Many sellers prefer this method of
sale rather than consigning their property to auct
ion and awaiting payment after the successful
sale of the items. For further information please
contact our Scheduling Department.
After the auction
Payment To Consignors
Payment to consignors is mailed five weeks
after the date of the sale, together with a final
settlement statement. The amount of payment
is the hammer price of each lot successfully sold,
less the commission and any other fees.
Estate and
APPRAISAL Services
For forty years, Doyle New York’s Appraisal and
Auction Services Department has worked with
museums, corporate collections, banks and law
firms, trust and estate professionals, heirs, and
private clients across the nation providing our
comprehensive appraisal and auction services.
Our thorough, well-researched fair market
appraisals have earned Doyle a solid reputation

throughout the United States.
Doyle New York offers a full range of expert
appraisal services, specializing in providing timely
formal appraisals for estate tax and probate
purposes. Our expert team of specialists and
our professional staff bring years of experience
to each appraisal. Full color digital photographs
may be included in the appraisal in order to make
each object easily identifiable. Depending on the
location, we are happy to provide, at no charge,
a preliminary walk-through examination to
determine approximate costs and special needs.
Appraisal fees are based on the scope of the
property with travel expenses additional.
Doyle New York will prepare a customized
proposal tailored to the specific property under
consideration for auction, including a commission
and fee structure developed to maximize returns
to consignors. We may also make an outright
purchase offer on individual items or entire
estates. As part of our focus on comprehensive
estate liquidation, we offer our unique
“Broomclean Service” – our own trucks and crew
will transport the fine property to Doyle, remove
remaining items, and leave the
premises “broomclean.”

• Absentee bids are executed in competition
with the audience, on an alternate basis. Due
to the uncertainties of bidding patterns, a lot
may sell to the audience for the same amount
or slightly less than your bid. To avoid this
possibility, you may authorize us to increase
your bid by one increment by placing a plus
sign (+) beside the maximum bid.
