[OREGON & CALIFORNIA -- FURNITURE CO ARCHIVE]. HAMILTON, Clarence & BUREN, Max OBiblio.com

A noteworthy archive of over 400 documents and samples chronicling the buying preferences and habits of Oregonians at one of Salem Oregon’s largest home furnishings and art stores at the end of the Gilded Age and into the Progressive Era. Buren & Hamilton drew upon wholesalers in Portland OR Seattle New York Detroit Chicago and heavily from San Francisco & Sacramento firms just a couple years before the devastating 1906 Earthquake & Fire for wallpapers linoleum floorings oriental carpets framed photos and art mouldings bed mattresses and much more.

1893Best.-Nr. 56869Salem OR: Buren & Hamilton 1893-1904. 4to. 90 mylar sleeve leaves unnumbered. containing 403 invoices shipping & waybills TLS ALS TL copy letters and more many of which appear on steel-engraved letterhead many printed on colour-tinted paper often shipping and weight bills still retaining original stamps a few mailing envelopes a number of check receipts many w/ manuscript and stamped autographs others w/ corrections and/or annotations in ink or pencil; also included are actual samples of velvet fabrics wallpapers and textured colour sample papers printing sample for perforated business card. All preserved in recent 3-ring cloth binder stamping on front cover. An exceptional archive of original letters invoices waybills business cards and receipts all documenting the thriving business of Buren & Hamilton at the end of the Gilded Age and beginning of the Progressive Era in Salem Oregon in the aftermath of the 1893 economic crash. Drawing from suppliers in California just a few years before the San Francisco Earthquake & Fire the company also sourced from Seattle WA New York and Chicago. Portland was the manufacturing and industrial hub of Oregon as can be seen in these invoices and receipts: such companies as The Columbia Chair Company Dealers who sold chairs office chairs and rockers from 309-311 Front St. shipped rocking chairs and office chairs to Salem in 1903; Henry Jenning & Sons located at 172-174 First St. shipped a load of leather oak chairs in 1903; J.G. Mack & Co. located at 86 & 88 Third St. in Portland supplied velvet rugs oil cloths and lamp shades in 1903; while the A. Merle Co. and McCord & Work located on Water St. supplied brass and iron bed frames the same year. Buren & Hamilton also sourced mattresses and sacks of recycled denim cotton “Shoddy” from Peters & Roberts Furniture Co. for mattresses; and purchased often from the Portland Mattress & Upholstery Co. at 18-20 Front St. which supplied wool-combed coverings mattresses mattress tops from 1900-1904 -- their factory would be gutted by fire in 1907. Many of the items were shipped down the Willamette River on the Oregon City Transportation Co. ships with a note from 1904 indicating the company had completed a sale of odd sized mattresses to them; numerous Southern Pacific Oregon Division freight bills; as well as a shipment on the SS Oregonian via the American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. of five crates of chair seats from Marshall Field & Co.In addition it appears that Oregonians in and around Salem purchased heavily from the store luxury goods such as beveled mirrors framed artwork sleek wallpapers velvet fabrics tapestries oriental rugs and more. Many of the invoices letters waybills and documents record many items supplied by the storied W.P. Fuller & Co. of San Francisco & Sacramento CA as well as their subsidiary in Portland OR. They were main suppliers of beveled and mirrored glass on the Pacific Coast which often had to be imported from England into the U.S. and several of the orders in 1899-1901 note that the company was having issues supplying such pieces to Buren & Hamilton due to labor difficulties finally sourcing mirrors from Pilkington Bros. English Picture Glass. They occasionally canceled orders and the Fuller Co. writes in 1901 over a canceled order of “deadening felt.” The W.P. Fuller Co. explain that “your reasons for wishing to cancel your order are not considered sufficient to justify us in doing so . . . ” and that they were aware that “some of our competitors are circulating unjust and untrue reports concerning us all the time.” Included amongst these letters are samples of cotton backing for carpets and even three original samples of wallpaper. There are also present a number of letters and invoices from the firm of Tozer & Son which took over the W.P. Fuller Wallpaper division about 1901 with letters present making that announcement. Of additional interest are the many invoices letters and waybills back and forth with the storied Schussler Bros. on 119-121 Geary St. Star King Building in San Francisco detailing many of the popular framed and matted photographs and images for Salem shoppers. These encompassed the “Lone Indian” which were often reproductions of the iconic End of the Trail sculpture by James Earle Fraser; Athletes Dutch Windmills Shakespeare prints of assorted types and sizes Lone Arab a Chinese print a boxing series of matted “Deal of a Fellow” Madonna Artotypes -- typically reproductions of Raphael’s Madonna and Taber art photos. Many of the letters bill heads and invoices sport steel engraved architectural vignettes documenting buildings which would be destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire as well as many of the business records for those companies. One of the freight bills bears the photographic letterhead of the Chicago & North-Western Railway Co. dated 1904. Another significant supplier was the D.N. & E. Walter & Co. of San Francisco which supplied linoleum flooring fabrics and more for Buren & Hamilton from 1899-1904 and even includes in one of the letters a piece of the red velvet fabric they no longer carried.Buren & Hamilton was originally founded in the late 1880’s by A.T. Yeaton as a furniture/undertaker business later sold to A.B. Buren and finally sold to Max O. Buren and Clarence Hamilton who operated at three locations along Commercial St. including Greenbaum’s Building at 298 Commercial the building at 136 Commercial 340 Court St. now Sid’s Furniture. Clarence bought out Max Buren’s shares in 1916 becoming the C.S. Hamilton Furniture Co. and operating until it was sold to Rubenstein’s in the 1960’s.

DECOUPAGE - FURNITURE DECORATION [WATTEAU, Antoine]Biblio.com

Paravent de six feuilles

1740Best.-Nr. 2420Augsburg: Johann Jacob Haid & son 1740. Six tall narrow folio-sized engravings with etching platemarks 400 x 207 mm. sheets 435 x 277 mm. deckle edges unsigned but by Jacop Wangner after Watteau numbered 1-6 in the plate at lower right imprint at lower right I. Haid et filius excudit A. V. Augustae Vindelicorum. Upper edges archivally tipped to mats. Fine. A perfectly preserved suite of six large rococo engravings reproducing Watteau's paintings for a folding screen intended to be cut out by ladies for use in furniture decoration. Watteau's influence on 18th-century decorative arts throughout Europe by way of the many engravings after his work published by Gersaint has long been recognized but the use of the engravings as actual sheets to be cut up and applied to household objects has garnered little attention until recently. The vogue for decoupage probably first appeared in the late seventeenth century and by the 1720s the hobby of cutting out colored prints for application to various household objects and pieces of furniture was all the rage in France Germany and beyond. The process which remained a favorite pastime throughout the eighteenth century was known as la découpure in French as Ausschneidekunst in German and as lacca contrafatta or lacca povera in Italian although "the latter term appears to be a true misnomer considering the amount of minute work involved" Kisluk-Grosheide p. 83. It consisted of neatly cutting out hand-colored engraved or woodcut motifs or figures applying them to a textile or sometimes cardboard ground and varnishing them. These creations were applied to furniture as well as to "screens folding screens wall hangings ceilings the tops of coaches and sedan chairs" loc. cit. affording a passable imitation of Asian lacquer. The craze which created a goldmine for certain print publishers reached the point that bibliophiles and collectors were warned to keep a vigilant eye on their most precious books prints and paintings lest eager young ladies attack them with scissors. In 1728 six engravings after Watteau's paintings for a folding screen were commissioned by the art collector Jean de Julienne as part of a vast program of reproductions of Watteau's painted oeuvre. They were engraved by Louis Crépy fils and published by the Paris marchand-mercier art dealer and print publisher Edmé-François Gersaint. An announcement of their upcoming publication in the November 1727 Mercure de France explicitly described them and two other Crépy-Watteau engravings as "marvelously appropriate for decoupages with which ladies these days make such pretty furniture" Crépy grave actuellement six morceaux en hauteur . d'après un Paravant peint par Watau dont les compositions sont très-galantes. De pareils sujets peints sur des fonds blancs conviennent à merveille aux découpures dont les Dames font aujourd'hui de si jolis meubles Mercure de France 1 Novembre 1727 p. 2492 digitized on Gallica. Indeed the publisher himself highlighted this usage in his own note in a later issue of the Mercure cited by Glorieux p. 212: pointing out that all of the decorative motifs in the Watteau engravings were "most useful for painters fan-makers sculptors goldsmiths tapestry-weavers embroiderers etc." he added that "all these ornaments can be perfectly used in decoupage" tous ces ornements réussissent parfaitement en découpure. These and other rococo engravings were quickly taken up by German publishers especially in Augsburg Metken p. 102. This paravent folding screen suite was one of the first of the Watteau engravings to be copied in Germany. The present very close reverse copies of Crépy's six plates appeared in Augsburg only a few months after their publication in June 1728 in Paris: engraved by Jacob Wangner or Wagner ca. 1703-1781 they were published by the heirs of Jeremias Wolff in 1729. This set is an otherwise unrecorded reissue of the Wangner copperplates. A lavishly decoupage-decorated secretary in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art includes cutouts that were almost certainly from these Augsburg plates as they are from "reverse copies of the prints by Crépy" Kisluk-Grosheide p. 88 noting other examples of Augsburg copies of Watteau prints used on the same secretary. Her assertion that "it has not been shown that these engravings were actually used for this purpose" p. 84 is only applicable to the French plates. Indeed other examples of lacca povera objects described in her article point to the German production of copies of French rococo prints as the main source for decoupage at this time on pieces produced throughout Europe including in Italy and in France itself. The general title appears at the foot of the first plate. Each engraving presents a central figure or scene set within a frame of delicate rococo arabesques and ornaments. Three show the Comédie italienne figures of Pierrot Harlequin and Colombine a woman playing the lute on a rug-bedecked stage a pair of allegorical figures flanking an awning above and at bottom the smiling visage of a Commedia dell'Arte character of the opposite sex. The remaining pastoral scenes of courtship or douceur de vie are set within naturalistic elements two with streams flowing over a dripping shell-shaped basin or ledge under which a ghostly face can be dimly discerned. Watteau's designs were based on earlier designs by Claude III Audran decorative painter for Louis XIV at Versailles and Fontainebleau to whom Watteau had apprenticed. "After joining forces with ornamentalist Claude III Audran about 1708 he Watteau began inserting figures in Comédie-Italienne costumes into Audran's trademark arabesques" Judy Sund "Watteau's Pierrots Why so Sad" The Art Bulletin vol. 98 no. 3 2016 p. 325 reproducing the Pierrot panel from the present series. OCLC locates a single copy of the Wolff issue at the Bibliothèque nationale de France reproduced in Gallica. In the present issue of which I locate no other copies the engraver's signatures were removed. On the Wolff issue cf. W. Augustyn "Augsburger Buchillustration im 18.

An album of gouache and watercolor paintings of furniture

1890Best.-Nr. 3212Paris 1890. Oblong folio 395 x 260 mm. 135 drawings of ornate furniture in lead and watercolor highlighted in gum arabic on 104 leaves of heavy paper later pencil foliation including four mounted drawings on tinted paper and two smaller loose drawings one of the latter signed A. Archambaut del. both with notes of measurements and pattern or stock numbers the second with specifications of colors and material. No. 93 a bed apparently unfinished.

The drawings on guards bound in half shagreen and pebble-grained cloth rubbed spine gilt lettered “Album Meubles Fantaisies.” A spectacular manuscript album of watercolor designs of colorfully decorated painted and inlaid furniture in Louis XV Louis XVI and Second Empire styles by a female artist and furniture designer. Depicted are commodes large and small tables desks cabinets wardrobes sideboards dressers armchairs mirrored stands stands holding manicure sets multi-drawered sécrétaires beds clocks and even bellows and brooms for the chimney. Most are highly ornate and include colorful painted or inlaid decoration meticulously rendered often in minute detail by the artist-designer. With their cabriole legs serpentine curves and lavish inlay and marquetry these delightful creations express to a sometimes impractical degree the late 19th-century vogue for Louis XV and Louis XVI-style furniture. The artist can be identified as Aline Anne Archambault née Carrausse 1847-1908 thanks to the one signed drawing loosely inserted which matches stylistically those of the album. The only child of the Paris furniture designer Jean Marie Carrausse Archambault moved in artistic and artisanal circles: in 1877 she married Arthur Eugène Archambaut a graveur ciseleur or engraver of luxury metalwork; the four witnesses at their marriage were his uncle a sculptor; his cousin a printer; and two friends identified respectively as a printer and a furniture maker this information from Geneanet.org. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds six furniture drawings by her also signed with her first initial and last name and a few lithographs after her one of the drawings V&A accession number E.284-1952 has an additional printed signature “P. Levant Carrausse del.” clearly a member of her family. Since Aline was married and died in the 4th arrondissement in Paris it is likely that this album was created there. The title on the binding “Album of Furniture Fantasies” implies that at least some of the pieces were not intended to be built: they abound in bright colors and witty details such as the tree-branches wrapping around two basket stands fol. 17 or the wildly ornate bed with which the album ends. While the element of fantasy in these accomplished paintings is thus clear many probably did function as specimens of furniture that could be ordered from members of the artist’s entourage of furniture makers. This is evident from the two inserted drawings both of chests of drawers which have measurement notes and stock numbers. One has the inkstamped name “G. Cauvet” on the verso. The archival records indicate that Aline lost a daughter in infancy in 1877 when she was 30. She had no other children. The ebullient drawings in this album betray no hint of tragedy and it is tempting to view them as a work of youth before shadows arrived to dim the joy of creation. “The best known of the nineteenth-century revivals was that for Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture. The Louis XV revival intensified during the Second Empire when it departed so much from the 18th-c. prototype that it is best called `Rococo’.” H. Osborne ed.
