Gentlemen:

I am pleased to inform you that Parke-Bernet Galleries is having two important Works of Art sales this Fall.

A collection of Italian maiolica and works of art will be offered on October 25th.  Included in this first sale is a group of Hispano-Moresque and Isnik pottery.  The maiolica section will include an early Florentine drug jar, circa 1450; a large group of Urbino Istoriato dishes; 13 Deruta lustre decorated dishes; The Spitzer Patanazzi Vase, Urbino, dated 1580 and a documentary Urbino trefoil basin by Francesco Patanazzi, dated 1608.  The works of art section will have the bronze acquamanile from the Castiglioni Collection, pl. VIII, a Venetian 16th Century bronze inkstand from the collection of Sir Francis Cook, No. 231, a good Nottingham alabaster relief, a Gothic polychrome decorated stone statue of the Virgin and Child and a large and interesting group of 14th to 18th Century European wood carvings.

On the 14th of November Parke-Bernet will hold a major sale of sculpture, previously part of the inventory of French & Company.  The first section is metalwork including dinanderie, a rare pair or Spanish gilded bronze and [[underlined]]champleve[[/underlined]] enamel ceremonial stirrups, Hispano-Moresque late 15th Century; several bronze statuettes; an attractive set of four Limoges enamel plaques of the Seasons, attributed to Pierre Courteys, third quarter 16th Century.
