Quincy’s wife, Deborah Norris Bent, oversaw the design and construction of the house and decorated the interior. She spent
many summers in Europe with her mother, Deborah Norris Brock, and these travels undoubtedly influenced her aesthetic.
While the house was under construction, mother and daughter purchased most of the furnishings in Italy. Family lore has it that
they were shipped directly to Gloucester along with building materials such as marble and roofing tiles.
Mediterranean Revival, popular in the early 20th century with Grand Tour alumnae, combined elements of Gothic, Renaissance,
and Baroque furniture and decorative arts from northern Europe, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and the Spanish colonies. The
décor from Quattro Venti, which translates from the Italian as “four winds,” epitomizes this eclectic style with its juxtaposition
of verdure tapestries, heavy dark furniture, bright ceramics, and wrought iron accents. The home’s sterling silver, including an
extensive dining suite, illustrates the lavish lifestyle the Bent family maintained at Quattro Venti.

For over forty years he assembled his collection with a keen eye
and unmatched enthusiasm.
His story begins when he moved into his home. Back in 1972, while house hunting in a northern Chicago suburb, Harry saw an
advertisement for a house that met his requirements and asked a real estate agent to arrange a showing. He arrived on time for
a four o’clock appointment and didn’t leave until after nine-thirty in the evening. What kept him there so long was not the house
itself—in fact he realized after leaving that he didn’t even see the entire house—what held his interest was the owner’s collection
of 18th century English earthenwares.
Harry had previously collected cow creamers from the same period, as he was part owner of a dairy. But the quality and variety
of wares in the house totally captivated him. Harry bought the house and tried in vain to impress the owners to sell some of their
pieces before their move into smaller quarters. Although he didn’t manage to buy anything, he did find a gift waiting for him on
the mantel in the living room when he started moving in.
It was a large tortoiseshell-decorated creamware platter, a bottle of scotch whiskey with two glasses, and a note welcoming
him to his new home and to the world of “Whieldon.” Needless to say, he was hooked. From that moment on he focused his
collecting on English pottery from the 18th century.
Thomas Whieldon’s name has become synonymous with 18th-century English pottery, although in truth there were many
potters in Staffordshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire that manufactured similar wares. In many cases the wares are so similar that
it’s difficult to attribute pieces to a specific potter. Up until about twenty years ago it was quite normal to refer to the majority of
these pieces as Whieldon-type wares.
Since then, excavations and research have revealed a plethora of names associated with these wares including Wedgwood,
Greatbatch, Astbury, Booth, the Elers brothers, and Dwight of Fulham. Harry Root’s collection tried to capture the breadth and
variety of wares produced throughout 18th century England—from early red stoneware tea wares manufactured in imitation of
Chinese Yixing wares to white salt-glazed stoneware.
Red stoneware was first introduced in England by the Elers brothers in the late 17th century, and came to an end at about 1700.
Not until the middle of the 18th century was it again produced by English potters, often in forms resembling silver and pewter.
Salt-glaze was England’s first attempt to compete against the profitable Chinese export porcelain market. The addition of salt
in the firing process gives the surface of these wares an almost orange peel texture. The range of decoration spanned from
slip-casting and press-molding to lathe-finished thrown wares. Enameling, transfer-printing, gilding, and scratch blue were other
common forms of decoration.
Cream-colored earthenwares, often considered England’s greatest contribution to the history of ceramics, make up a large part
of the Root Collection, adding vibrant splashes of colors, often in mottled patterns resembling tortoiseshell. Overglaze enamel
decoration was also popular, as were black-glazed and green-glazed wares, agate ware, and even those made to resemble
pineapples and melons.
For scholars everywhere, a portion of the Root Collection has been donated to the Art Institute of Chicago. For collectors
everywhere, Skinner is proud to offer the Root Collection of English Pottery.

be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer
shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have
sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the
