- JOSEPH F. H. LÉGER (1881-1955) FRENCHJoseph
JOSEPH F. H. LÉGER (1881-1955) FRENCHJoseph Fernand Henri Léger, watercolour, “Composition à La Fleur, 1945”. Signed and dated B/R. Dominion Gallery and Galerie Agnès Lefort labels verso. 10.25” x 14.25”. In World War II, Léger lived in the United States. During his tenure in the US, Léger began making paintings in which freely arranged bands of color are juxtaposed with figures and objects outlined in black. Léger credited the neon lights of New York City as the source of this innovation: "I was struck by the neon advertisements flashing all over Broadway. You are there, you talk to someone, and all of a sudden he turns blue. Then the color fades—another one comes and turns him red or yellow”. The example offered here is enigmatic of that period and demonstrates the juxtaposition of colour and objects.

- Rare and Important American Gothic Revival
Rare and Important American Gothic Revival Oak Hall Chair, possibly New Orleans or New York, mid-19th century, the tall back supported by pierced and carved stiles terminating in crocketed spires, the central pierced and carved splat with an additional carved spire, the solid plank seat with molded edge hinged along the back edge and opening to a void cavity, supported by pierced front legs, h. 71\". This chair belongs to a small but important group of furniture associated with the Antebellum South. Related chairs have been found in Vicksburg, New Orleans, and most notably Stanton Hall Plantation in Natchez, Mississippi. It has been suggested that New Orleans may have been the source of this body of furniture since the Stanton Hall examples were invoiced by Henry Siebrecht of New Orleans. Related examples are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Bybee Collection, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Henry Francis duPont Winterthur Museum and the New Orleans Museum of Art. A mate to the Winterthur chair sold at New Orleans Auction Galleries in March, 1998, for $40,700, and another sidechair in March, 2000, for $56,000. The New Orleans Auction St. Charles Gallery sold the matching recamier in April, 1998, for $44,000.

Coin silver is a 19th-century American term referring to silver goblets, bowls, trays, and flatware containing roughly 900 parts silver and 100 parts copper. While the term has its roots in the silver content found in British and Spanish coins of that period, most objects that were made out of coin silver were not made exclusively from melted coins, although that certainly did occur. Instead, an object stamped "Coin" or "Pure Coin" or "C" was simply understood to contain roughly 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, regardless of the source of the component metals. The exact percentage of silver in coin-silver objects, especially those made from coins, varied quite a bit. Coins minted in the United States after the Revolutionary War only contained 892 parts per 1,000 of silver. The silver content in U.S. coins was increased to 900 in 1837, and in 1869, the United States embraced the British sterling standard of .925. That gave further definition to the coin standard of .900, which was made official in 1906 after the passage of the National Stamping Act.
