bowed at either end and flanked
by half round drop leaves with
slender cabriole legs and is valued
at $10,000 to $15,000.
Two other fine American Chip-
pendale pieces include a carved
curly walnut slant-front desk from
Pennsylvania circa 1760, and a
mahogany highboy from Con-
necticut, the latter featuring a
swan's neck pediment centering
and flanking flame finials over
shell and foliate carving. The for-
met is estimated to be worth in the
neighborhood of $10,000, while
the latter is deemed to be worth
$125,000 to $175,000.
There is a variety of other Chip-
pendale pieces, as well as a Feder-
al mahogany tall case clock by El-
nathan Taber, 1784-1854, from

,fluted colonettes, centering a
white painted dial ornamented
with a pear, a fig and grapes with
gilt and painted spandrels, said to
be worth $125,000 to $175,000.
Perhaps the most historical
piece is the Jacobus Stainer violin
labeled "Jacobus Stainer in Ab-
sam Prope Oenipontum 1677" in
its original leather case with two
bows, mother of pearl and silver
ended.
Stainer was a royal violin maker
for Roman Emperor Leopold.
Hawkins' "History of Music"
states that "The violins of Cre-
mona are exceeded only by those
of Stainer, a German, whose in-
struments are remarkable for a full
and piercing tone." The instru-
ment is considered to be worth be-
tween $90,000 and $120.000.
The estate also includes collec-
tions of Limoges, Bennington,
