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.

Born the son of John Gibson, bank accountant and founder of a successful Pennsylvania distillery, Henry C. Gibsondiversified the family’s holdings while remaining partner of the distillery for approximately 30 years. As a financierand banker, he was a founder and life director of the Fidelity Insurance, Trust & Safe Deposit Co. (later FidelityBank), 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 holdingsthroughout the city and beyond were managed, developed and periodically sold by Henry C. Gibson asPhiladelphia 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, encompassedone of the greatest art collections ever assembled in America. It included Imperial Chinese porcelain andcloisonné enamel, superb European paintings and American sculpture, as well significant holdings of Europeanfurniture and works of art.

Henry C. Gibson (center) and family, 1887



Henry C. Gibson’s philanthropy supported many Pennsylvania cultural and public institutions that remainsignificant today. He was a long-standing Director and later Vice President of the Pennsylvania Academy of FineArts, and he bequeathed his collection of paintings and sculpture to the Academy upon his passing in December1891. He was a founding member of the Park Art Association, which, when it was founded in 1872, was America’sfirst non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and betterment of public art and urban planning. Hewas a generous donor to the Academy of Natural Sciences, giving mineral specimens, marble columns, as well asproviding funds for Dr. Joseph Leidy's work involving the assembly and display of the bones of Hadrosaurus foulkiidiscovered in 1858 in New Jersey, the first nearly-complete fossilized skeleton of a dinosaur ever recovered. Alongwith donations secured for various academic departments at the University of Pennsylvania, Gibson is alsoremembered for his dedication to public health. He contributed to the University's Hospital that still has a wingthat bears his name, as well as to Provost William Pepper's "Institute for Hygiene", the first laboratory of its kind inthe 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 ofhome and family", Gibson taught his granddaughter, Mary K. Gibson Henry, how to pollinate orchids as a youngchild. 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 hergrandfather’s gift, became the Henry Foundation for Botanical Research in 1949. This institution will be supportedby proceeds from this auction.

Notes: This monumental flask embodies the refinement in ceramiccraftsmanship of Qing imperial potters under the supervision of Tang Yingat Jingdezhen kiln during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign. Its smoothgreenish-gray glaze and jinsi tiexian (gold thread and iron wire)craquelure highlights the finest imitation of the definitive Song dynastyGe wares. The moon flask form, assimilated from “pilgrim bottles”,originates from ancient Near East during the Iron Age, and ceramicreplicas 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.$200,000-400,000
