John Bellamy American Centennial
Carved Walnut and Pine Box, signed and
dated “J.H. BELLAMY MAKER 1876” on the
bottom, for John Haley Bellamy (American,
1836-1914), rectangular box with hinged lid
supported on applied carved paw feet, the
top and sides ornamented with a central
relief-carved symbol of American iconography
surrounded by arabesque scrolled foliage
and flowers, the top centered with the Great
Seal of the United States, the front carved
with a spreadwing eagle grasping a banner
inscribed “E PLURIBUS UNUM” over an
American shield, the shields heightened with
red coloration, the right and left sides with
allegorical angelic figures, and the back with a
simplified stylized American shield, ht. 8 1/2,
wd. 19, dp. 12 in.
$30,000-50,000

Known by Americana enthusiasts everywhere
as the “carver of eagles,” John Haley
Bellamy made his living in the second half
of the 19th century selling carvings of the
American symbol to adorn ships and walls
across New England. His body of work is
composed almost completely of the iconic
“eagle with banner” that appears with some
frequency in well-known institutional and
private collections. While this box is certainly
a departure from his most well-known
productions, it is nonetheless an example of
Bellamy at his best.
In the five visible panels of this box, Bellamy

shows off his extensive skill as a carver and
designer. Probably intended for personal use
or that of a client, it bears extensive stylistic
and technical similarities to another box
known to have been carved by Bellamy for
his own purposes, a box heavily carved in a
similar manner but with his family’s coat-
of-arms rather than with American patriotic
motifs. In addition, this box bears Bellamy’s
signature on its bottom panel, lettered before
the word “MAKER.” Carefully examined
by James A. Craig, curator and author
specializing in 19th century American marine
art, the box has been found to be so certainly
by Bellamy’s hand that it is slated for inclusion
in Craig’s upcoming book on Bellamy’s work.
Craig connects several elements on the box

to other known examples of Bellamy’s carving.
For example, the stylized florid shield on the
back panel of the box relates quite directly
to the same shape on the gangway board
Bellamy carved for the screw-sloop-of-war
U.S.S. Enterprise. On the top of the box,
the Great Seal of the United States appears,
rigourously carved in careful detail. An eagle
on the front panel of the box spreads its wings
and ducks its head in a pose very similar to
Bellamy’s most common output, clasping a
banner in its talons that bears the motto “E.
Pluribus Unum.”
Surrounding each of these elements, though,

are fields of carving having a greater sense
of flourish than the artist indulged in his more
market-oriented carvings for ships and public
buildings. Working at a moment in time when
designers enthusiastically revived motifs from
the history of decorative arts, Bellamy here
employs foliate C-scrolls from the mid-18th
century, hairy paw feet from the early 19th
century, and patriotic motifs that belonged
very much to his own 1870s zeitgeist. In this
combination, he demonstrates his awareness
of contemporary trends, trends to which he
most certainly would have been exposed in
everyday domestic and public life, through
visual and material culture. The resulting box
is a pleasingly eclectic and highly successful
object of late 19th century design.
A copy of James A. Craig’s full report is

available upon request.

Hairwork Memorial Ring Reportedly with a
Plaited Lock of George Washington’s Hair,
the gold band is mounted with a finely braided
lock of ginger-colored hair and a small foliate-
engraved plaque.
Provenance: It is reported by the consignor

that the ring descended in her family from
the early part of the 20th century. Originally, a
lock of hair was given by George Washington
as a token of esteem to his aide-de-camp
Alexander Hamilton. It descended to
Hamilton’s son James A. Hamilton. In 1872,
James gave the lock of hair to Mrs. Margaret
(Cash) Pechin (1812-1911) of Philadelphia,
where it was lent or gifted by her to the
Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania. Upon Mrs. Pechin’s death,
the ring was returned to her family, and
descended through Dupont and Moreland
families, and lastly to the consignor, Mrs.
Margaret Pechin’s great-great niece. At some
point the lock of hair was incorporated into
a memorial ring. The ring is accompanied by
a small undated c. 1900 newspaper clipping
announcing the gift of the lock of Washington’s
hair by Mrs. Pechin. An internet search for

Mrs. Margaret Pechin of Philadelphia brings
up several similar articles about her donation
of the lock of hair to the Washington Memorial
Chapel.

Conditions of Sale
1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below
which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of
Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or
raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.
2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property,
and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship,
attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall
be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer
shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have
sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the
accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate.
4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a
monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or item lot not paid for within thirty-five (35) days of the date of sale.
Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale. If any property has not been
removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage
charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three days, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. may place the merchandise in a subsequent
auction, without Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds
to the purchaser.
5. Skinner accepts cash or check for payment. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner, Inc. or if a bank authorization has
been received guaranteeing a personal check. Skinner, Inc. reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank.
The purchaser agrees to pay Skinner, Inc. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Please contact Accounting for additional payment
methods. Skinner does not accept payment by credit card for merchandise purchases.
6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all items for which it was
the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any
payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the
purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of
sale.
7. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such purchaser for such item.
8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and
overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered
species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities
is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers
from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a
Massachusetts exemption number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston.
10. Except for property purchased via On-line Auctions, a premium equal to 20% of the final bid price up to and including $500,000, plus 12% of the final bid over
$500,000, will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the Buyer as part of the purchase price. The buyer’s premium on property purchased via On-line Auctions will
be in an amount up to 23% of the final bid price.
11. Bidding on any item indicates your acceptance of these terms and all other terms printed within, posted, and announced at the time of sale whether bidding in
person, through a representative, by phone, by Internet, or other absentee bid.
12. Skinner, Inc. and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any
lot sold. Skinner, Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalog. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material
produced by or for Skinner, Inc. relating to a lot, including the contents of this catalog, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of Skinner, Inc. and shall not be
used by the purchaser, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent.
13. These conditions of sale shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).
The buyer/bidder agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement may be brought, and any action against Skinner in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting therein. The bidder/buyer consents
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.
