Tall-Case Clock Expands Scholarship in Lower Southern Piedmont
By circa 1815, the date determined by Wooten and his staff for the Mattison clock, mantel clocks had begun to replace tall-case clocks in the more urban areas of the South, said Couch. “I believe the [Reeded Raised Panel] group is of northern European ...

Note the fine reeded panels on this circa 1815 tall-case clock attributed to James Mattison, Anderson County, South Carolina. Dealer Keith McCurry bought the Mattison clock for $22,800 (est. $4000/6000). It was the top lot of the sale. Philip Toussaint bought it for $11,400 (est. $4000/6000). This was the top-dollar pot of the sale. The 27¾" x 25¼" x 12½" tiger maple desk with white pine secondary was attributed to a New England maker circa 1770. An Internet bidder beat back six phone bidders to take it for $6600 (est. $3000/5000). A 29 3/8" x 17 5/8" x 13¼" southern walnut and cherry spice or valuables cabinet with compartmentalized interior went to Philip Toussaint for $10,200 (est. $3000/5000). The Wootens found no other examples of an original menu for a 1908 dinner honoring Mark Twain. It sold to an Internet bidder for $540 (est.
he walls in the front room of Susan Ferrell’s home are painted lavender, the same as they were when she fell in love with the house more than 20 years ago. Decorative pottery from New Mexico, some filled with sand from her travels, and braided sweetgrass, which is revered as a sacred plant by some American Indian tribes, adorn the fireplace mantel. Sitting near a book of Japanese fairytales in the study is a collection of prose by Alice Walker with a bookmark tucked between the pages, like Ferrell would come home tomorrow and keep reading. Some details around the house have changed over the years – Ferrell’s tan Honda Accord decked with bumper stickers is gone from the garage and her family has given away many of her books and belongings. Still, other aspects of the home remain the way they were when Ferrell walked out the door for work on April 19, 1995. For families like her parents, Don and Sally Ferrell of Chandler, the pain lingers 20 years after a bomb exploded in front of... Twenty years later, there are survivors and people who lost loved ones, co-workers and friends who remain in an emotional struggle that doesn’t answer to time. It took a while before Sally Ferrell, Susan’s mother, could come to the house in Oklahoma City and not cry.
” I couldn’t pronounce them, but my Dutch wife taught me the words for “houses for sale” and “freestanding property,” so I could research listings at funda. Under the terms of our “10-year plan,” concluding in 2014, it was my turn to become the expat and Lina’s to be home, where she would be closer to family and bicycle everywhere on designated paths. Now in our 50s, we had spent the past decade in Durham, where we’d paid $185,000 for a historic 2,000-square-foot house in the Walltown neighborhood. After a year of searching, Lina started a job in medical diagnostics in March 2014 in the medium-sized city of Eindhoven, about 75 miles, I mean 120 kilometers, southeast of Amsterdam. Like most of the European Union, the Netherlands was just coming out of an economic slump, and housing prices were still “low,” which I was dismayed to discover still meant twice as much as in North Carolina. My role was to ready the Durham home for sale, while Lina’s was to research properties we found online in preparation for my house-hunting visit. “Let’s live on a canal, so we can launch our kayaks from home,” I said excitedly during one of our Skype sessions. We soon realized my suggestions were ludicrous within our budget of 350,000 euros, at the time about $485,000 – more than I ever thought I would spend on a house, especially a small one. The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe, meaning space is tight.
