Provenance

Collection of the Roma W. Leland Trust, Washington Court House, Ohio – Lots 1-118 and 418-424

For nearly 70 years Roma Woodmansee Leland of Washington Court House, Ohio, who died in 2009, and her late husband,John Arthur Leland, were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and persistent collectors of early American furniture and decorative artsincluding, but not limited to, 18th century Chinese porcelain, pewter, paintings, and Oriental rugs. In the 1960s they acquiredmany Oriental rugs from the preeminent Oriental rug dealer of the time, Richard Markarian, which will be selling at Skinner inOctober. During the same period, the Lelands expanded their collection with numerous acquisitions from well-known antiquedealers and from the sales of Dick Withington, the respected New England auctioneer. Their spacious, cheerful home of Federaldesign was built in 1960 to create an appropriate venue for their collection and for them to derive maximum enjoyment from it.For four decades, John and Roma Leland were popular, familiar figures at the Colonial Williamsburg antique forums. They alsoregularly attended antique symposia at Old Deerfield, Massachusetts, Landis Valley, Pennsylvania, and Natchez, Mississippi.
