inscribed on the front in paint, L.P.P ... Maid of Orleans / ....?, together with typed note regarding history of the Maid of Orleans. Height 20 1/2 x width 42 1/2 x depth 18 1/2 inches. According to the provided note, the Maid of Orleans arrived in New Orleans from Philadelphia in 1819, where it is listed within the New Orleans Wharf register of 1812-1820 as having arrived to port on February 12, 1819. Provenance:Property from the Collection of Noel and Kathryn Wadsworth, Atlanta, Georgia Noel and Kathy Wadsworth’s appreciation of American history was captured through their fine art, furniture and decorative arts collection. Noel and his late wife, Kathy, are among the original founders of the Auburn Fine Arts Museum, contributing the gallery that bears their name: The Noel and Kathryn Dickinson Wadsworth Gallery. A portion of their art collection was loaned to the museum and featured in the exhibition, Auburn Collects. The Wadsworth’s curated collection was also featured in Time magazine in the early 1980s. The couple met at Auburn University and were members of the first graduating class in June 1960. Following graduation, they moved to Dalton, Georgia, the epicenter of the American Carpet Industry, where Noel’s career and their family thrived. Philanthropic and community-minded, they eventually settled in Atlanta, Georgia and filled their Marietta home with a collection that spanned from the American Colonial period through Art Nouveau. An interest in American art grew after traveling to exhibitions, fairs and auctions in New York, New Orleans, London, and Paris. The couple collected mostly American fine art from the late 19th and early 20th century with a focus on Ashcan school artists. The Wadsworth’s, however, felt important European artists who were friends of the American artists represented in their collection were also needed to convey the full story of the period. The result became a lifelong decorative and fine art collection that reflects the eye of discerning collectors and will be offered through multiple auctions at Hindman this spring. Condition: Showing in use where and discoloration to the surface throughout. Appears to retain its original blue paint. Rubbing to the painted inscription and most areas throughout. A later yellow-painted interior. The hinges, while seemingly early, may be replaced. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Age cracks visible, some with associated filler.
