Boston Queen Anne secretary stands out at Wiederseim's sale May 8

May 30th, 2010

GLENMOORE, Pa. – With a star-studded lineup of Americana and more – from a Boston Queen Anne secretary to a collection of Staffordshire figures – Wiederseim Associates Inc. will conduct their Spring Antique Auction on May 8. LiveAuctioneers will provide Internet live bidding. The 593-lot auction will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern at Griffith Hall, Ludwigs Corner Firehouse.

The Queen Anne walnut secretary bookcase, circa 1740, should sell in the early afternoon. This rare example features an interior fitted with pigeonholes and document drawers – in the upper section. Contained in the lower section behind a slant lid are more pigeonholes and drawered compartments over four graduated drawers. Standing on straight bracket feet, the secretary bookcase is 78 1/2 inches high by 36 inches wide by 22 1/4 inches deep. It has a conservative $8,500-$10,000 estimate.

“It’s a beautiful piece,” said Ted Weiderseim. “It was purchased recently for $30,000. I don’t know if it will bring that again but it should do well.

Another fine period piece is a Pennsylvania Queen Anne mahogany dish-top candlestand, circa 1780, with a birdcage support, ball turned shaft and snake feet. It is expected to bring $4,500-$5,000.

Wiederseim said that another highlight will be the collection of Staffordshire figures from the estate of Leonard E.B. Andrews of Malvern, Pa. Andrews, a writer-publisher who died Jan. 2, 2009, made news when he bought 240 previously unknown Andrew Wyeth works depicting a mysterious woman known as Helga, and later sold them for a big profit. Wiederseim said that Andrews bought the Staffordshire figures years ago from a Philadelphia collector.

Included will be nearly a dozen pairs of Staffordshire spaniels. One rare pair is red and white and has arched bases. The pair is estimated at $2,000-$2,500.

Estate jewelry will be another highlight of the sale, said Wiederseim. “There are 14- and 18-karat gold necklaces, bracelets and earrings that should do well,” he said. Included are several pieces by jewelry designer David Yurman. A ladies’ Piaget Polo wristwatch with pavé diamonds consisting of 26 single cut diamonds and an 18K gold case and bracelet carries a $5,000-$7,000 estimate.

Four paintings by Chester Springs, Pa., artist Albert Van Nesse Greene (1887-1971) will be sold including a large oil on board picturing the Brooklyn Bridge in winter.

“His paintings are doing very well now,” said Wiedersim, noting that Greene, a veteran of World War I, is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Getting ready to rally

April 5th, 2010

In a slow and steadily running monologue, Karen Ogden calmly delivers her mantra: repetition, consistency, and reward. “Behavior is driven by a consequence,” she says. “You have to reinforce the behavior you want, reward better behavior…. Basically what you’ve got are blank slates. We’re working to influence future choices.”

And the owners and their three puppies pay respectful attention: Norman and Kathy Lobb and Becki, their 13-week-old German shepherd; Marc Brasefield and his daughter Ashley with Boomer, a 15-week-old black lab, and Lee and Jim Aven and Ruby, a 15-week old labradoodle.

Saturday morning at Ms. Ogden’s Positive Rewards Dog Training begins with puppies – proud owners, frisky pups, baby talk, and treats. “I don’t like making an animal uncomfortable in order to do something,” she says. Then she shifts to her Rally Obedience group, the only one on the Island – proud owners, trial drills, and serious business.

But for the first hour in the large open studio behind Woodland Center in Vineyard Haven with its blue mat flooring, the puppy owners, separated by low curtained partitions, will put their dogs through the signal, action, reward exercises as explained and demonstrated by Ms. Ogden.

“Be an anchor rather than a bungee cord,” Ms. Ogden tells the pet owners, explaining that their pups should not be allowed to pull when walking on a leash.

A certified dog trainer, as well as a rescue and recovery handler, she stops often to interpret what the pups are thinking: “Hey, what are you doing?” when distracted by being touched to get a desired action; and “Ah, a light bulb moment,” when Ruby wags her tail.

For Ms. Ogden, it’s not about goals, it’s about process: “I tell people that this is going to be a commitment on your part. It’s not: you’re going to do this for six weeks and your dog is going to be fine. You’re going to be getting some core skills down and then you will be working on pressing these skills with your dog for the remainder of your dog’s life.”

The morning’s puppy training concluded, the partitions are removed, and members of the Rally Obedience group straggle in – Katie Upson and Dundee, her Scotty, Julia Humphries and Xochi, her golden retriever, Susanna Sturgis and Traveler, her malamute, Eric Bates and Willow, his Australian shepherd, and Ms. Ogden, with Nolan, her Australian shepherd. (Regular member Valerie Becker and Toby, her Cairn terrier, were away.)

The long-time group quietly waits for Ms. Ogden to create the course to be followed by setting out numbered signs, each identifying a different action for the dogs to execute. The dogs seem to know it’s time to get down to business; no jumping, yipping, sniffing around. “When [the dogs] come in here, they know they’re here to work,” Ms. Upson says.

They are preparing to participate at a Rally trial being held in Franklin, an event that requires the dog and its owner (or family member) to walk as a team through a course set with 10 to 15 posted signs for the dogs to execute: left and right turns, half circles, spirals, and various heeling maneuvers.

Rally Obedience, a sport developed by Charles “Bud” Kramer in 2000, is now recognized by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and the American Kennel Club.

At the Novice level (the first in three earned titles) owners walk along with their dogs on leashes. Moving at a brisk pace, they are permitted to verbally praise and encourage, but not touch their dogs or reward them with treats. It’s a teamwork exercise and anything harsh or intimidating is penalized. Those who score enough points gain Novice standing and go on from there.

Things to Know Before Selling Your Jewelry

April 3rd, 2010

Selling your jewelry can prove lucrative if you find yourself in need of some extra cash or if you simply wish to get rid of pieces that you never use. And while it might not necessarily be a very fun activity, it’s worth to to a bit of homework so you know you’re getting the best value for your jewelry. Here are a few things to consider.

Don’t Trust Engravings

A lot of countries don’t have strict regulations for how accurate jewelry engravings have to be. I’m referring here to the engravings that label jewelry pieces as being and X number karats. This means that some of the pieces you own might be incorrectly labeled and not worth as much as you think. Most reputable jewelers will be able to tell how many karats a metal contains without having to rely on the engraving. To see how might your jewelry is actually worth, in terms of karats, it might be a good idea to get it appraised by a professional before taking it to jewelry stores to sell. 

Retail Value vs. Scrap Metal Value

Retail value accounts for style, craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. But if you’re selling your jewelry for scrap metal value, all of these will not be taken into account. The only thing a gold buyer, for example, cares about is the intrinsic value of the metal, which means that even though you paid a certain amount for the piece originally, it’s resale value as scrap metal will likely be a lot less. Jewelry stores tend to mark up their pieces by up to 20 times the value of their materials.

Old vs. Antique

The jewelry industry is driven largely by style trends. If the pieces of jewelry you’re trying to sell are in a style that is no longer popular, they won’t be worth as much as if the pieces were currently in style. Estate jewelry that is not currently in vogue will go for a much lower price.

However, if your jewelry is “antique”, the rules are a little different. The classic look and feel of antique jewelry fetches a high price regardless of what is currently is style. Antique jewelry is collectible and highly prices, so make sure you get your jewelry appraised and know what exactly it is you’re selling, so that you don’t get an unfair price on the market.
