The Estate of N. David Scotti, Providence, Rhode Island

N. David (Nino) Scotti (1941-2008)

As a teenager, Nino Scotti began attending estate auctions with his mother. These trips no doubt inspired a
love of history and its artifacts, and he joined the Rhode Island Historical Society at the young age of 14. With
a voracious appetite for reading, a great memory and a discerning eye, he was self-taught in the areas of the
China Trade, American silver, and maritime paintings. A tireless researcher, he possessed an extensive
knowledge of Rhode Island history and genealogy. While still a young man, Nino and an associate founded
Associated Appraisers, Inc., in downtown Providence, where they conducted estate auctions attended by
dealers and wealthy clients. According to his obituary in the Providence Journal, Nino's “acerbic banter” was
a highlight of the auctions held there, and he “prided himself on being able to conduct, with gavel in hand,
what were usually twelve- or fourteen-hour auctions with nary a break and only a sip or two of ginger ale,” a
fact corroborated by a number of Skinner buyers.

Additionally, “he was generous with his expertise, examining and appraising antiques and artifacts.” Recalls
Stephen Fletcher, "When Bob Skinner and I saw Nino entering the gallery, we could count on having an
interesting and lively conversation about the things we had in common--antiques and art. We respected and
admired his diverse knowledge and valued him as a friend and colleague" and are pleased to be offering his
collection at Skinner.

Literature: See The Magazine Antiques, “Mary Balch’s

37
Newport Sampler” by Betty Ring, September 1983, pp.
500-507. This sampler is similar in style to a group of
samplers stitched in the last half of the 18th century by
girls in the Newport, Rhode Island, area, including one
worked by eleven year old Mary Balch, who went on to
instruct girls in needlework in Providence, Rhode Island.
Ring writes on p. 500, “The style was fully developed by
1767...distinguished by a composition of horizontal bands
containing pictorial motifs and inscriptions, with wide floral
borders along the sides and a cartouche at the bottom
containing the needleworker’s name, birth date, and the
date of the sampler. There is generally at least one bird in
the top border, or playful people with animals, and one of
the horizontal bands, usually second from the top,
contains naturalistic strawberries. The pictorial motifs
almost invariably include richly dressed figures with friendly
pets, oversize birds and insects...and a building often
worked in blue.” The sampler offered here is illustrated on
p. 507, and the lot includes the magazine and a
conservation report.

William Bradford (American, 1823-1892)

Arctic Sunset with the Ice-Bound Panther. Signed and dated [18]75 l.r. Oil on artist’s board, 9 x 13 3/4 in., in original ornate gilt-
gesso frame. Condition: Very good, uncleaned, light scratch on left, minor craquelure, frame rub upper and left edges.

Provenance: A note affixed to the reverse of the frame is inscribed: “For Minnie Ida Reynolds/Painted by Wm Bradford for my New
Year’s present-/Jan. 1st 1876.”

Provenance: According to family lore, this painting passed from Minnie Reynolds through the family to the present owner. Minnie
Ida (Conant) Reynolds (1867-1952) was the daughter of Prelet Drake Conant (Sept. 23, 1833-March 23, 1900) and Jane Monroe
Rounds (1825-December 16, 1905), a wealthy socialite couple living in Fall River, Massachusetts. Prelet was involved in insurance,
real estate, and stocks and was a justice of the peace. He was one of the directors of Laurel Lake Mills, a textile mill in Fall River,
which operated from 1881 to 1931. Jane was a patroness of the arts and she hosted gatherings with local artists, including William
Bradford. Even as a child, Minnie greatly enjoyed and appreciated art, so much so that at a New Year’s party held by her mother on
January 1, 1876, William Bradford gave her a painting of his as a gift. Minnie was only eight years old at the time. Minnie later
married Ralph Reynolds. They never had any children, and Minnie doted on her grand-nephew William Sidney Bateman, Jr. (1899-
1967), the grandson of her sister Mary Jane Conant Neill. On her death, Minnie bequeathed her William Bradford painting to him,
who passed it down to the present consignor.

Note: William Bradford began his career painting ship portraits in New Bedford, Massachusetts, across the harbor from his
birthplace of Fairhaven. In 1861 he traveled to Labrador to study and paint icebergs. He returned to the Arctic several times, and
in 1869, he set out on his most ambitious voyage. With the financial backing of a New York businessman, Bradford chartered his
own bark, the Panther, a converted sealing vessel and enlisted the help of two Boston photographers who documented the trip,
while he sketched and painted. The result was hundreds of sketches and more than 300 photographs of arctic scenes, 141 of
which were included in his 1873 book, The Arctic Regions, published in London. His body of work that resulted from his Arctic
voyages gained Bradford worldwide acclaim, so much so that Queen Victoria commissioned him to paint an Arctic scene that was
shown at the Royal Academy in 1875. Afterward, he traveled extensively giving lectures and slide shows about the Arctic. He
eventually opened a studio San Francisco to paint the natural wonders of the American West, but it is his Arctic scenes that remain
his legacy.

Needlework Family Record and Related Coin Silver Spoon,
“Lucebia Windship’s Work,” probably Lexington, Massachusetts, c.
1812, worked in silk threads on a linen ground depicting a tree with
fruiting leafy branches, the bottom of the tree with two entwined
hearts, inscribed with the following statistics: “Daniel Harrington bn.
Mh 26 1739” and “Anna Munroe bn. Aug. 13 1740,” “Married May 3
1760”; the fruit on the branches are inscribed with the names and
birthdates of their eleven children, (minor fading and toning), 20 x 13
1/2 in., housed in the original tiger maple frame with geometric inlaid
border; the sampler is accompanied by a coin silver spoon engraved
with the initials “DAH,” and dated “1760,” wt. approx 1 troy oz.; the
spoon was probably a wedding gift to Daniel and Anna Harrington,
who were married May 3, 1760.

Provenance: Family descent through a descendant of Daniel

Harrington, John Harrington. John married Marion Cady and the
family record devolved through the Cady family to the wife of the
present owner.

Literature: The History of Lexington, Genealogies, by Charles

Hudson, 1913, p. 279, lists the children of Daniel Harrington (b. 1739)
and Anna Munroe (b. 1740), and notes that Daniel was clerk in
Captain Parker’s company of Minute Men and was on the common
on April 19, 1775, in the Revolutionary War and stood on line at
Lexington Common to face British troops on route to Concord to
seize the cache of arms and weapons stored at Concord. The girl
who stitched the family record, Lucebia Windship, may have been the
granddaughter of Daniel and Anna Harrington. She is listed on p.
773 as the daughter of Thomas (spelled Winship) and Anna
Harrington, one of the daughters of Daniel and Anna Harrington.
Lucebia was born May 2, 1794. She married Lot Reed on
298 September 19, 1816 and together they had two children. Lucebia
died September 25, 1821.

Illustrated Album of Poetic Sentiments, Selinda Hill, Peterborough,
New Hampshire, with illustrations by her sister, Caroline Hill, 1830s-
70s, small 8vo with half morocco binding with gilt spine and marbled
boards, 7 3/4 x 4 3/4 in.
Note: Selinda Hill’s “little Album” begins with an “Introductory
Address,” a poem inscribed by her, and opposite a watercolor
illustration of a girl in a landscape reading a book; it is followed by
128 pages containing sentimental poetry inscriptions, many
accompanied by watercolor and graphite depictions of figures,
flowers, birds, fruit, and houses. The poems were written by family,
friends, relatives, and likely classmates of Selinda, at the nearby New
Ipswich Academy in New Ipswich, New Hampshire; one entry by
Selinda’s younger sister Caroline, dated February 1835, has a small
watercolor depiction of the New Ipswich Academy at the top of the
page and is signed by Caroline. The New Ipswich Academy was
New Hampshire’s second academy, which was chartered in 1789.
Two other illustrations in the album were signed by Selinda’s sister
Caroline. One is a small pencil drawing depicting a house, and one,
on the last page, is a watercolor illustration depicting the Hill family
titled “An Evening At Home,” dated 1831. Job is writing a letter, and
one of the daughters, probably Caroline, is painting a picture of a
flower, on a tripod candlestand. Their mother Betsy and the other
three daughters, Selinda, Mary, and Abigail are shown engaged in
needlework while the youngest, brother Charles, is reading a book.
Literature: History of the Town of Peterborough, Hillsborough County,
New Hampshire, by Albert Smith, John Hopkins Morison, 1876,
Peterborough, New Hampshire, p. 110, “The Hill Family.” Selinda and
Caroline Hill were the daughters of Job (b. 1780) and Betsy (Perry) Hill
(b. 1782). The Hills married in 1808, and lived in Vermont before
arriving at Peterborough, New Hampshire, in 1825, where Job
became part-owner and managed the village grist mill from 1829-39.
In 1831 he built the first dwelling on Summer Street in Center Village,
a brick cottage. The Hills had five daughters and one son, one
daughter, Betsy, died at the age of ten. Betsy, the mother, and her
daughters all worked periodically at the nearby Phoenix Mill, which
manufactured cotton sheeting and thread. The daughters featured
most prominently in this album are Selinda, the Hills’ first child (b.
May 26, 1809-1891), and their fifth child, Caroline (b. November 15,
1816). Selinda married Ephraim Holt in December of 1837. Caroline
married Reverend Levi L. Fay, an itinerant preacher, on September
19, 1843, and together they had five children. Caroline died at the
age of 37 on October 8, 1854.
The Art of Family: Genealogical Artifacts in New England, by Peter
Benes, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2002, the cover
illustration, a watercolor depicting the Hill family, with their family
register hanging on the wall behind them, was done by Caroline Hill.

END OF SALE
 Skinner, Inc. - 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.

4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the

Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other
