Lots 1-80: Property from the Collection of Dr. Morris Shelanski: A Philadelphia Doctor, 

Entrepreneur and Prolific Collector of Fine and Decorative Art. 

Dr. Morris Shelanski, educated at Harvard, began collecting fine art and antiques in the 1950s following the 

completion of his service as a U.S. Navy physician. Along with his wife Rita and four sons and a daughter, Dr. 

Shelanski continued throughout the subsequent decades to acquire paintings, furniture, decorative arts and other 

fine and rare items from auction houses and galleries locally and further afield. The Shelanski Collection, up to now 

housed in the family’s Main Line home, is emblematic of a true lifelong collector’s work: it is sizable, eclectic and 

reveals changing interests and refinement of the collector’s eye. 

Regarding his personal collection, Dr. Shelanski says: “Living with these beautiful objects has not only brought our 

family tremendous pleasure over many years, but also they serve as reminders of the wonder of human creativity 

and artistic expression from all corners of the world throughout the ages.” 

Part II of the Shelanski Collection, comprising fine European works of decorative art and Chinese export wares, will 

be offered in Freeman’s October 7 2014 English & Continental Furniture and Decorative Arts auction.

Property from the Collection of Henry C. Gibson and Family


Lots 150-171, from the Renowned Collection of Henry C. Gibson (1830-1891) 

and his Descendants. 

Henry C. Gibson (center) and family, 1887 

Born the son of John Gibson, bank accountant and founder of a successful Pennsylvania distillery, Henry C. Gibson 

diversified the family’s holdings while remaining partner of the distillery for approximately 30 years. As a financier 

and banker, he was a founder and life director of the Fidelity Insurance, Trust & Safe Deposit Co. (later Fidelity 

Bank), a director at First National Bank of Philadelphia, a board member of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Co. 

and partner in various other enterprises in the city of Philadelphia. His father’s sizable real estate holdings 

throughout the city and beyond were managed, developed and periodically sold by Henry C. Gibson as 

Philadelphia expanded. 

Henry C. Gibson’s greatest and most enduring legacy in the city was his philanthropy and patronage of the arts. 

His collection, housed in his Victorian townhouse redesigned by Frank Furness and George Hewitt, encompassed 

one of the greatest art collections ever assembled in America. It included Imperial Chinese porcelain and 

cloisonné enamel, superb European paintings and American sculpture, as well significant holdings of European 

furniture and works of art.


Henry C. Gibson Home interior, Philadelphia. Lot 150 seen at left, 

Lot 167 seen on shelf above mantel center right, and Lot 157 seen at right 

Henry C. Gibson’s philanthropy supported many Pennsylvania cultural and public institutions that remain 

significant today. He was a long-standing Director and later Vice President of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine 

Arts, and he bequeathed his collection of paintings and sculpture to the Academy upon his passing in December 

1891. He was a founding member of the Park Art Association, which, when it was founded in 1872, was America’s 

first non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and betterment of public art and urban planning. He 

was a generous donor to the Academy of Natural Sciences, giving mineral specimens, marble columns, as well as 

providing funds for Dr. Joseph Leidy's work involving the assembly and display of the bones of Hadrosaurus foulkii 

discovered in 1858 in New Jersey, the first nearly-complete fossilized skeleton of a dinosaur ever recovered. Along 

with donations secured for various academic departments at the University of Pennsylvania, Gibson is also 

remembered for his dedication to public health. He contributed to the University's Hospital that still has a wing 

that bears his name, as well as to Provost William Pepper's "Institute for Hygiene", the first laboratory of its kind in 

the country. He was both a donor and trustee of Jefferson Hospital, as well. 

Described by friends and relatives as a man of "uncommon tenderness & strength" and with abundant "love of 

home and family", Gibson taught his granddaughter, Mary K. Gibson Henry, how to pollinate orchids as a young 

child. He further nurtured her botanical interests by presenting to her a copy of William Robinson’s 1870 book, 

The Wild Garden. Mary K. Gibson Henry’s lifelong project, the unique wilderness garden inspired by her 

grandfather’s gift, became the Henry Foundation for Botanical Research in 1949. This institution will be supported 

by proceeds from this auction.

Large and very rare Imperial Ge-type moon flask

straight neck terminating in everted rim flanked by molded leaf-form S 

handles; covered in a grey-green glaze suffused with dark grey and goldtoned 

craquelure. 

H: 19 1/2 in. D of body: 15 in. 

provenance: 

Notes: 

This monumental flask embodies the refinement in ceramic 

craftsmanship of Qing imperial potters under the supervision of Tang Ying 

at Jingdezhen kiln during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign. Its smooth 

greenish-gray glaze and jinsi tiexian (gold thread and iron wire) 

craquelure highlights the finest imitation of the definitive Song dynasty 

Ge wares. The moon flask form, assimilated from “pilgrim bottles”, 

originates from ancient Near East during the Iron Age, and ceramic 

replicas can be found in China dating back to the Han and Tang 

dynasties. The molded design of the Eight Trigrams testifies 

Emperor Yongzheng’s personal fondness of the Taoist 

traditions. Flasks of this shape and size are extremely rare 

to find, and only few examples with this glaze have 

appeared at auction. A Yongzheng marked flask of 

similar designs with greyish-white glaze was sold 

at Sotheby’s London, 8th November 2006, 

lot 173; and another with comparable glaze 

but different form was sold at Sotheby’s 

Hong Kong, 8th April 2011, Lot 3017.

medallions, lingzhi, lotus and other traditional motifs in turquoise over a deep violet-glazed ground; the unglazed 

biscuit base with impressed “Made at Kairakuen” four character mark. 

H: 11 1/2 in. 

provenance: 

The Kairakuen kiln in Kii province produced ceramics for the Kii branch of the Tokugawa Clan. It is recorded to have 

fired only four times between 1819 and 1836. The style of this vase reflects an interest in Chinese Ming ceramics that 

had swept through Japan in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. 

Similar examples of Kairakuen “fahua” vases are in The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore; Musee Cernuschi, Paris; The 

Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. 

We find no examples of Kairakuen ware kabin from this period having sold at auction in the past 20 years.

or any other method approved by 

Freeman’s. Checks will not be 

deemed to constitute payment until

interest in the offered lots and the 

proceeds therefrom, other than the 

broker’s Commissions, and all sales 

are subject to any such interest. 

11 

No “buy” bids shall be accepted at 

any time for any purpose. 

12 

Any pre-sale bids must be submitted 

in writing to Freeman’s prior to 

commencement of the offer of the 

first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy 

of any such bid shall conclusively be 

deemed to be the sole evidence of 

same, and while Freeman’s accepts 

these bids for the convenience of 

bidders not present at the auction, 

Freeman’s shall not be responsible 

for the failure to execute, or, to 

execute properly, any pre-sale bid. 

13

the successful bid price and is 

payable by the buyer as part of the 

total purchase price. The Buyer’s 

Premium shall be: 25% on the first 

$75,000 of the hammer price of 

each lot, 20% on the portion from 

$75,001 through $1,500,000, and 

12% thereafter. 

14

payment thereof, the buyer will be 

required to pay any and all federal 

excise tax and any state and/or local 

sales taxes, including where 

deliveries are to be made outside the 

state where a sale is conducted, 

which may be subject to a 

corresponding or compensating tax 

in another state. 

15

arrange to have purchased property 

posted and shipped at the buyer’s 

expense. Freeman’s is not 

responsible for any acts or omissions 

in packing or shipping of purchased 

lots whether or not such carrier 

recommended by Freeman’s. Packing 

and handling of purchased lots is at 

the responsibility of the buyer and is 

at the entire risk of the buyer. 

16 

In no event shall any liability of 

Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the 

purchase price actually paid. 

17 

No claimed modification or 

amendment of this Agreement on 

the part of any party shall be 

deemed extant, enforceable or 

provable unless it is in writing that 

has been signed by the parties to 

this Agreement. No course of dealing 

and no delay or omission on the part 

of Freeman’s in exercising any right 

under this Agreement shall operate 

as a waiver of such right or any other 

right and waiver on any one or more 

occasions shall not be construed as a 

bar to or waiver of any right or 

remedy of Freeman’s on any future 

occasion. 

18 

These Conditions of Sale and the 

buyer’s, the Consignor’s and 

Freeman’s rights under these 

Conditions of Sale shall be governed

Common Pleas and the United
