The following eleven lots (1–11) 

were created by Italian designer 

Fulvio Bianconi (1915–1996). 

Bianconi began his career in glass in 1947 when he met Paolo 

Venini in Murano, Italy. While working at Venini’s Cappellin 

Venini & Co. (established in 1925) Bianconi developed and 

perfected his skills and techniques of glass blowing. The 

relationship was so successful that Bianconi stayed at 

Venini’s furnaces for over fifty years. Bianconi’s and Venini’s 

designs are still synonymous with style and creativity and 

remain extremely popular.

The Church of Saint Martin of Tours, New Hope, PA. 

The Church of Saint Martin of Tours, located in New Hope, 

was founded in 1885. George Nakashima was a long-time 

parishioner of the church. A decision was taken in 1960 to 

remodel the original church building and slightly modernize 

the interior. It was decided new church furniture was 

needed. The Pastor turned to Mr. Nakashima for the new 

church furniture and, subsequently, these pews were 

supplied to the church in April of 1961. 

In recent years the congregation has grown too large for the 

small church in New Hope and a new larger church 

was constructed a short distance away from town. The 

original church building was sold to the Town of New Hope 

and the pews were moved to storage. Only two pews were 

retained for the new church and the rest are now being 

sold at auction. 

To our knowledge, this is the only ecclesiastical commission 

Mr. Nakashima worked on and so we are pleased the Church 

has chosen Samuel T. Freeman and Company as the venue to 

sell these pews. 

Copies of the original drawings will accompany the lots. 

Please note that some additional pews may be available 

after the sale.

Terms & Conditions 

all property offered and sold (“property”) through samuel t. freeman 

& co, ("freeman's") shall be offered and sold on the terms and 

conditions set forth below which constitutes the complete statement 

of the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. 

by bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by 

written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be 

bound by these terms and conditions. 

1 

Unless otherwise indicated, all Property 

will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for 

the Consignor. 

2 

Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the 

terms of sale and any such variance shall 

become part of these Conditions of Sale. 

3 

Buyer acknowledges that it had the right 

to make a full inspection of all Property 

prior to sale to determine the condition, 

size, repair or restoration of any Property. 

Therefore, all property is sold “AS-IS”. 

Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction 

broker, and unless otherwise stated, does 

not own the Property offered for sale and 

has made no independent investigation of 

the Property. Freeman’s makes no 

warranty of title, merchantability or 

fitness for a particular purpose, or any 

other warranty or representation 

regarding the description, genuineness, 

attribution, provenance or condition to 

the Property of any kind or nature with 

respect to the Property. 

4 

Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive 

discretion, reserves the right to withdraw 

any property, at any time, before the fall 

of the hammer. 

5 

Unless otherwise announced by the 

auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are 

per lot as numbered in the printed 

catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to 

determine any and all matters regarding 

the order, precedence or appropriate 

increment of bids or the constitution of 

lots. 

6 

The highest bidder acknowledged by the 

auctioneer shall be the buyer. The 

auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, 

to advance the bidding at his absolute 

discretion and in the event of any dispute 

between bidders, the auctioneer shall 

have the sole and final discretion either to 

determine the successful bidder or to reoffer 

and resell the article in dispute. If 

any dispute arises after sale, the 

Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive 

in all respects. 

7 

If the auctioneer determines that any 

opening or later bid or any advance bid is 

not commensurate with the value of the 

Property offered, he may reject the same 

and withdraw the Property from sale. 

8 

Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any 

offered lot or article will immediately pass 

to the highest bidder as determined in the 

exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, 

subject to compliance by the buyer with 

these Conditions of Sale. Buyer 

thereupon assumes full risk and 

responsibility of the property sold, agrees 

to sign any requested confirmation of 

purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, 

plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such 

part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may 

require. 

9 

No lot may be removed from Freeman’s 

premises until the buyer has paid in full 

the purchase price therefor including 

Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such 

terms that Freeman’s, in its sole 

discretion, shall require. Subject to the 

foregoing, all Property shall be paid for 

and removed by the buyer at his/her 

expense within ten (10) days of sale and, 

if not so removed, may be sold by 

Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a 

public warehouse, at the sole risk and 

charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s 

may prohibit the buyer from participating, 

directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer 

in any future sale or sales. In addition to 

other remedies available to Freeman’s by 

law, Freeman’s reserves the right to 

impose a late charge of 1.5% per month 

of the total purchase price on any balance 

remaining ten (10) days after the day of 

sale. If Property is not removed by the 

buyer within ten (10) days, a handling 

charge of .1% of the total purchase price 

per month from the tenth day after the 

sale until removal by the buyer shall be 

payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; 

Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total 

purchase price per month for any 

property not so removed within 60 days 

after the sale. Freeman’s will not be 

responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or 

otherwise responsible for any goods left 

in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) 

days. If the foregoing conditions or any 

applicable provisions of law are not 

complied with, in addition to other 

remedies available to Freeman’s and the 

Consignor (including without limitation 

the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for 

the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, 

may either cancel the sale, retaining as 

liquidated damages all payments made 

by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In 

such event, the buyer(s) shall remain 

liable for any deficiency in the original 

purchase price and will also be 

responsible for all costs, including 

warehousing, the expense of the ultimate 

sale, and Freeman’s commission at its 

regular rates together with all related and 

incidental charges, including legal fees. 

Payment is a precondition to removal. 

Payment shall be by cash, certified check 

or similar bank draft, or any other method 

approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not 

be deemed to constitute payment until 

cleared. Any exceptions must be made 

upon Freeman’s written approval of credit 

prior to sale. 

In addition, a defaulting buyer will be 

deemed to have granted and assigned to 

Freeman’s, a continuing security interest 

of first priority in any property or money 

of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s 

possession, and Freeman’s may retain 

and apply such property or money as 

collateral security for the obligations due 

to due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall 

have all of the rights accorded a secured 

party under the Pennsylvania Uniform 

Commercial Code. 

10 

Unless the sale is advertised and 

announced as “without reserve”, each lot 

is offered subject to a reserve and 

Freeman’s may implement such reserves 

by bidding through its representatives on 

behalf of the Consignors. In certain 

instances, the Consignor may pay less 

than the standard commission rate where 

Freeman’s or its representative is a 

successful bidder on behalf of the 

Consignor. Where the Consignor is 

indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may 

have an 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 

A Buyer’s Premium will be added to 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 $20,000 of the hammer price of 

each lot, 20% on the portion from 

$20,001 through $500,000, and 12% on 

the portion of the hammer price 

exceeding $500,000. 

14 

Unless exempted by law from the 

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 

Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer 

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

the Consignor's and Freeman’s rights 

under these Conditions of Sale shall be
