Antique blue-and-white Chinese porcelain vase, stamped on reverse, from the private antiquity collection of Gordon and Ann Getty. A treasured find for pottery collectors and interior design enthusiasts of unique pieces with a story to tell! Ann Getty was a paleoanthropologist, tastemaker, interior designer, and author. Married to Gordon Getty, billionaire philanthropist, classical music composer, the 4th son of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty. They were chic intellectual Bay Area socialites, supportive advocators for the arts, music, science, and education. The J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center, and Getty Villa, exhibit Getty's private art and antiquity collections, the J. Paul Getty Trust Fund is the world’s wealthiest art institution. Anne grew up on dairy, peach, and walnut farms in northern California, then graduated from UC Berkeley with dual degrees in Biology and Anthropology. She supported archaeological digs in Ethiopia and Turkey, searched for human fossils and artifacts, studied genetics and DNA structures. She was unpretentious, hands on, intellectually in synch with scientists, craftsmen, and artists. There’s a photo of her restoring ancient fossilized buffalo horns at the National Museum of Ethiopia. She applied these personal traits, mannerisms, curiosity, and keen eye in her approach to collecting art and antiques, first student, then connoisseur. She knew the provenance and story behind every piece she acquired. She taught herself by observing, experimenting, and absorbing everything. She employed artists that became her greatest teachers. Prior to launching her interior design firm she hired legendary designers Albert Hadley, Sister Parish, and John Stefanidis to design her Pacific Heights estate, an early 1900’s sprawling Italianate mansion with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, designed by architect Willis Polk. The estate was nicknamed the “San Francisco Embassy” for its lavish political and cultural parties. Shortly after opening her interior design firm she launched "The Ann Getty House Collection," a line of antique reproductions inspired by her personal collection, produced by old world craftsman Luis Rossi (L Rossi Antiques...

Very well executed oil on masonite painting of a sunset in Topeka, Kansas by the American artist, Pauline Haynes Shirer. Signed lower right. Circa 1950. Condition is excellent. Recently professionally cleaned. Newly framed in a custom gallery frame. Overall framed measurements are 17.5 by 20.5 inches. Provenance: A Long Island, New York collector. Pauline Haynes Shirer (1894 - 1975), American Born in Topeka in 1894, Pauline is said to have been at least partially raised by her aunt, Hannah Haynes Headlee (Pauline’s mother died when she was 8 years old). By 16, she was living as a ward in the Topeka home of Elizabeth Cunningham, a dressmaker. After graduating from Topeka High School, she attended the New York School of Fine and Applied Art (later Parsons School of Design), completing a two-year course in one year (1913-1914). At the same time, she took weekend classes at the Art Students League. Returning to Topeka, she studied and taught at Washburn College (now University) from 1914 to 1915 and instructed summer sessions at Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburgh, during the same period. Afterward, she returned to the New York School of Fine and Applied Art, where she taught and took classes (1915-1918). She spent the summer of 1916 as an instructor at the Skidmore School of Art, Saratoga Springs, New York. In 1917, Pauline married Hampton F. Shirer, an architect from MIT, who was also an artist and came from a prominent Topeka family. The couple later settled in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1921, living in a house which they built and decorated themselves. During the next 16 years, they raised two children and Pauline also found time to illustrate promotional brochures and primary school texts. During the early years of her career, Pauline focused on the applied arts – such as watercolor designs for curtains, silk fabrics, wallpaper as well as poster designs, theater backdrops and book covers. Later she would transition into creating her own representational works of art. Shirer returned to Topeka in 1937. During her career as a painter in oils and watercolors, she sketched in Europe four times and did paintings of New England subjects. However, most of her paintings were of the West. She executed Kansas views first, and they continued to hold her interest throughout her life. Typical were her studies of rustic buildings on the plains, glimpses of the prairie country, and the historic buildings of Topeka. She also painted New Mexico landscapes and Colorado mountain scenes. Among her exhibitions, mostly solo but occasionally with her husband, were those held at the Harlow and Harland’s Gallery, Boston (1922); The Scattery, Wellesley, MA (1925); Vose Galleries, Boston (1931); Topeka Art Guild (1952); Copley Society...

Range S 43 Simplicity that unfolds its effect everywhere: Mart Stam removed the back legs from furniture that for centuries had been created based on the same principles. Through evolutionary refinement, an object that simply looks good in any place where both understatement and quality are wanted. For his furniture designs, Mart Stam placed a high value on usefulness and austerity with regard to aesthetics as well as material. The straight-lined form, a clear construction and improved sitting comfort resulted from this approach. Stam achieved the greatest possible reduction with the cantilever chair S 43 by combining the tubular steel frame with moulded wood elements for seat and backrest. The pure, restrained form of this cantilever chair makes it an exemplary design in the spirit of modernism...

Copernican Solar System – Celestial Plan, Doppelmayer, Hand-Colored c.1742 Description: This large and finely engraved celestial chart illustrates the Copernican solar system and is titled Ephemerides Motuum Coelestium Geometrica, a scientific visualization of planetary motion according to the Copernican hypothesis. The work was created by Johann Gabriel Doppelmayer and published in Nuremberg circa 1742, during the height of the Enlightenment’s engagement with astronomy and mathematical science. The map is offered unframed, giving flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. The chart presents a geometric representation of the irregular motions of the planets, including their directions, stations, and retrogradations. At the center is the sun, surrounded by concentric, color-coded orbital bands representing the paths of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Radiating lines and numerical annotations record observed planetary positions across specific dates, translating empirical observation into visual form. Surrounding diagrams provide auxiliary explanations of orbital mechanics, apparent motion, and planetary phenomena. These panels were intended for scholarly use, offering astronomers, mathematicians, and educated readers a precise tool for understanding celestial movement within the Copernican framework. The Latin text reinforces its academic purpose and confirms its role as a serious scientific instrument rather than a decorative fantasy. The composition is further enriched by allegorical figures representing astronomy and the celestial sciences, engraved in the Baroque tradition and delicately hand colored. These figures bridge science and art, a hallmark of Doppelmayer’s work, making the chart both intellectually rigorous and visually compelling. Johann Gabriel Doppelmayer was one of the leading scientific illustrators and mathematicians of the Holy Roman Empire, closely associated with the Nuremberg publishing world. His celestial charts are today prized for their accuracy, clarity, and refined engraving quality. This engraving stands as an important document in the history of astronomy, marking the widespread acceptance of the Copernican system in 18th-century Europe. It is highly desirable for collectors of scientific instruments, astronomical prints, Enlightenment-era works, and decorative interiors with intellectual character. This chart was produced by Johann Gabriel Doppelmayer and published in Nuremberg circa 1742. Doppelmayer was a leading mathematician and scientific illustrator of the early Enlightenment, closely associated with the Nuremberg scientific publishing tradition. His Ephemerides Motuum Coelestium Geometrica played an important role in visualizing and popularizing the Copernican heliocentric system through precise geometric representation of planetary motion. Condition report: Good condition overall. Contemporary hand coloring. Light age toning and patina throughout, with minor browning and scattered surface marks consistent with age. Vertical centerfold as issued. Small handling wear at margins. No modern restoration observed. Framing tips: This chart benefits from a museum-style presentation. Use a wide ivory or warm off-white mat to balance the strong colors, paired with a dark walnut, ebonized, or gilt frame. UV-protective glazing is recommended due to the original hand coloring.
