We're pleased to share highlights from our July 8–9 auction: July Americana & Shaker followed by Gameboards and Americana from the Collection of Bruce & Doranna Wendel.

Day One, July 8, brought strong results across Shaker and Folk Art categories, including a Shaker needlework sampler wrought by Elizabeth Field in 1816, a chrome yellow miniature Shaker box, and a Shaker storage cabinet in original paint. Folk portraiture led the sale, with an exceptional miniature of twin sisters by Clarissa Peters (Mrs. Moses B.) Russell circa 1850, an attributed Rufus Porter portrait of a child in a red dress, and an attributed Carver Limner miniature portrait of a man holding a book. A Gus Wilson merganser decoy and a J. W. Fiske "St. Julian" Horse and Sulky weathervane rounded out top results, alongside Paul Seifert's watercolor of the Nelson Bennet farm, Seifert's last home and purported last work.

Day Two, July 9, drawn from the collection of Bruce and Doranna Wendel, showcased American folk game boards, led by a Parcheesi board in original paint, a checkers board with landscape vignettes, and a double-sided baseball checkers board. The category saw exceptional bidder interest throughout, underscoring the continued strength of the game board market.

Special thanks to Bruce Wendel, the Estate of Edward Deming Andrews & Faith Andrews, our consignors, bidders, and the trade for a strong sale. Full results at newenglandauctions.com.
