Est: $2,000 - $3,000
JOHN HALEY BELLAMY Maine/New Hampshire, 1836-1914 Circa 1872-1900 carved pine spread-wing eagle plaque retaining its original paint. Nicely articulated curved tongue and piercing eye, both painted red, and gracefully sweeping wings with refined feathers. Red, white and blue American Liberty shield at its breast. Mellow patina. Unsigned, as typical of Bellamy's work. Accompanied by a letter of authentication from James A. Craig, a curator and author specializing in Bellamy's work. Craig writes the staining scheme is original to the time of manufacture and notes the rarity of this example because of the three stars on the shield, rather than the typical single star, and that it was stained to resemble mahogany rather than bearing the typical white milk paint or gilding.

Est: $12,000 - $15,000
JOHN HALEY BELLAMY Maine/New Hampshire, 1836-1914 Carved pine what-not shelf commemorating the Emancipation Proclamation and the Grand Army of the Republic, executed circa 1866-1872. Carved with a scrollwork border, a laurel wreath, a scroll inscribed "Jan. 1.st 1863", a quill pen, broken chain links, and an American shield flanked by draped flags on poles. While unsigned, the textured dimpling below the inscription, the parallel tick marks throughout the scrollwork, and the execution of the other elements is stylistically consistent with authentic documented pieces produced under the direction of Bellamy by his firm, Titcomb & Bellamy of Charlestown, Massachusetts. Retains original metal hinges. Accompanied by a December 2017 letter of authentication from James A. Craig, a specialist in Bellamy's work. Craig writes that apprentices made the original machine cuts on the piece, but Bellamy contributed the finishing surface cuts. Craig also writes this piece is the only known Grand Army of the Republic what-not shelf in existence, although it was long believed to have been part of Titcomb & Bellamy's product line. Height 18".
