晚清紫檀西洋花卉紋扶椅一對

each ornately carved in the Rococo style with Europeaninfluenced lotus, the vase shaped back splats surmounted byshaped crest rail with fan shaped crestings, the scroll armssupported by acanthus-form pilasters, above rectangular solidseats, with scroll and ruyi head carved apron, raised on fourcabriole legs, united by plain peripheral stretcher (2)

68cm wide, 114cm high, 52cm deep

Provenance:Private Scottish Collection.

Note:The present pair of chairs exemplifies the influence of Westerncabinet-making techniques and decorative motifs on Chinesefurniture during the Qing dynasty. Beginning in the early Qingdynasty, foreign tradesmen and firms brought European-madeitems and built trading houses in European styles in China. Atthe same time, the Jesuits arrived in Beijing and entered theEmperor’s service as court artists. They not only producedwestern-designed objects but also influenced architecturaldesign, the most prominent example being the Chang ChunYuan (Garden of Everlasting Spring) in the Summer Palace. Asa result of such commercial and cultural exchange, European-

influenced decorative arts objects, in particular furniture,began to appear in and outside the imperial court.The architectural crest of the two chairs and the Westernizedlotus and acanthus motifs of the surface carving are all drawnfrom the repertoire of Rococo art. The fanned lappet-shapedheadrest surmounting the crest-rail clearly resembles a shell,another typical Rocaille motif. These motifs remind one of theidentical carved decorations on the European-style complex ofbuildings in the Garden of Everlasting Spring. We can onlyimagine what the furniture looked like in the series of palaces,pavilions and terraces of the Yuanmingyuan as it is now only aplace of memories. These ornate, pseudo-Rococo designssatisfied the self-indulgent taste of the royal household.For similar examples see Tian Jiaqing: Classic Chinese Furnitureof the Qing Dynasty, p. 42, pl. 26 (see illustration above); asimilar chair from the Qing Court, is in Treasure of the Mingand Qing Dynasty Palace Furniture, Vol. 1, Beijing, 2007, pl. 18and another Western influenced chair, pl. 88; Sotheby’s NewYork, Collection of Lt. Col. Robert Gray Peck, 19th March 2014,lot 400; Christie’s Hong Kong, 2nd December 2008, lot 2508.

8 HD810/1RARE PAIR OF ZITAN AND REVERSE-PAINTEDGLASS HANGING LANTERNSQING dYNASTY, 18TH/19TH CENTURY

清十八/十九世紀紫檀玻璃彩繪人物圖四方燈

each exquisitely made of square section with a waisted top anda waisted stand, carved overall in delicate pierce-work withauspicious motifs including lotus flowers, cloud-heads, ruyi andsymmetrically arranged scrolls, the centre section with latticeborders framing four inset glass panels reverse-painted withimmortals, Chinese boys and foreigners within landscapesettings (2)

52cm high

Provenance:Yester House, East Lothian, Scotland; formerly in the collectionof the Italian-American composer and librettist Gian CarloMenotti (1911-2007), possibly acquired by the previous ownerof Yester House, The Marquess of Tweeddale.Menotti won the Pulitzer Prize twice, for The Consul (1950) andfor The Saint of Bleecker Street (1955). He founded the notedFestival dei Due Mondi (Festival of the Two Worlds) in Spoletoin 1958 and its American counterpart, Spoleto Festival USA, in1977. In 1986, he commenced a Melbourne Spoleto Festival inAustralia. In 1974, Menotti, persuaded by the fine acoustics ofthe main room, purchased Yester House, in the village ofGifford, East Lothian, in Scotland.

Note:Zitan framed lanterns made use of this precious timber leftover from the making of larger pieces of furniture. Detailedwith elaborate carving and delicately pierced lattice borders,they are comparable to the architectural latticework found ondoors, windows and balustrades of traditional Chinese Palaces.Translucent glass panels are inset into their frames and it isknown that in the middle of the Qing dynasty glass replacedpaper or silk in windows, so it is highly probable that glass alsobegan to be used in lanterns at that time.In addition to the fine carvings, elaborate pierce-work andpleasant spacing of the design elements, this pair of Zitanlanterns have a metal receptacle plate with a central piercedhole into which lit candles can be inserted. The dark openworkcarving would have been silhouetted against the candlelight inan attractive pattern.Zitan and reverse-painted glass lanterns of similar form,bedecked with streamers and fringes, hang within the imperialwedding chamber in the Palace of Earthly Repose at theForbidden City, see Wan-go Weng/Yang Boda (1982): ThePalace Museum: Peking, Treasures of The Forbidden City.p. 56-57. Also refer to similar Zitan lanterns from the Collectionof Robert H. Ellsworth (1929-2014), see Christie’s sale in theirNew York rooms on 17th March 2015, lot 52. Anothercomparable pair of lanterns can be found in the collectionof the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, see R.D. Jacobson, &N. Grindley (1999): Classical Chinese Furniture in theMinneapolis Institute of Arts. p. 170.

Provenance:Private Dutch Collection.

HK$160,000-260,000UK£15,000-24,000 | US$20,000-30,000



One of the key features of these chairs is the surface carving.Imbued with traditional Chinese symbols of positive meanings,the chair also indicates the owner’s wealth and status. Runningalong the façade of the seat are auspicious Chi-dragons, andon the splat are carved fortuitous symbols of good fortune,long life and prosperity which run the gamut from lively qilin(Chinese unicorn), lotus blooms, Buddhist lions among otherbears of luck.The hunting chair can be folded with ease, and comes with ahandsome attached foot-stool with brass inlay. The brassfittings on the chair lends it a sense of strength whilstproviding highlights to the piece. The ageless flowing densegrains of the precious Huanghuali adds greatly to the chair’sgrand appeal.For a similar chair, see Christie’s Fine Chinese Ceramics andWorks of Art sale in their London rooms on 8th November2011, lot 273. See also Wang Shixiang: Connoisseurship ofChinese Furniture, p. 56, pl. A93; Wang Shixiang: ClassicChinese Furniture, Ming and Early Qing Dynasty, p. 106, pl. 58.

清晚期黃花梨交椅

the curved top rail with outscrolling arms, above a piercedcarved splat depicting two qilin amongst clouds, surmountedby a further smaller pierced panel carved with a lotus blossom,the slatted seat over a scroll carved frieze, the slender legsunited by a foot rest mounted with huangtong plaque, centredby interlaced lozenges



Note:Originally used only by the Emperors and princes, huntingchairs became popular among high ranking officials in the laterperiod who commissioned these fine portable seats forthemselves. These chairs accompanied their owners who oftenrode ahead on horse-back during hunts while male servantscarried them upon their back and followed behind on foot.



11u HD418/1RARE PAIR OF HUANGHUALI ‘SOUTHERNOFFICIAL’S HAT’ CHAIRSMING dYNASTY, 17TH CENTURY

明十七世紀罕見黃花梨南官帽椅一對

each with shaped top rails above a gently curved splat finelycarved with a ruyi roundel, the hard mat seat within arectangular frame with ornate shaped and scroll carvedaprons, raised on rounded square section legs united bystepped stretchers with a foot rest (2)


Provenance:The Collection of Mr. J Ritchie; purchased from Martin FungAntiques & Furniture Co., Hollywood road, Hong Kong in 1987,accompanied by the original receipt and certificate of antiquity.

HK$900,000-1,300,000UK£80,000-110,000 | US$116,000-167,000



Note:This pair of armchairs is an excellent and rarely found exampleknown as ‘Southern official’s hat.’ Unlike the Northern type, theends of the Southern official’s chairs do not protrude.

The name ‘official’s hat,’ in Chinese guanmaoyi, derived fromthe chairs’ resemblance to the winged hat that was part of theformal attire of Ming officials, used exclusively by members ofthe elite class. Thus, even today, they are regarded as symbolsof status and authority by the Chinese.

These two chairs embody a timelessness in the way theycombine linear simplicity with sophistication of detail, loyalty tothe traditional canon with a striking sense of modernity. Each iselegantly proportioned, with the narrow top rail supported ongracefully curved rear posts. The S-shaped splat is carved witha delicate ruyi-head medallion. The Huanghuali wood is of anattractive golden yellowish-brown tone with a mesmerizingtranslucent shimmer. The high-back form of the chairs istypical of the Ming dynasty.

With the excellent material and superb craftsmanship, there isno doubt that they are the work of a highly skilled artist andare of a rare quality.

For similar examples, see Wang Shixiang: Connoisseurship ofChinese Furniture, p. 46, pl. A76; Wang Shixiang: ClassicChinese Furniture, p. 90, pl. 48; Christie’s sale in their New Yorkrooms on 22nd-23rd March 2012, lot 1735.

48cm long, 48cm wide, 34.5cm high

Provenance:From the Sze Yuan Tang Collection; acquired in Hong Kong inthe 1980s.

Note:With the transmission of Buddhism from India to China, thecustom of building pagodas for the sepulchral burial ofBuddhist relics also transmigrated to China. The Indian stupa,which is shaped as an inverted bowl, served as thearchitectural model for the Chinese pagoda while at the sametime coming to adopt Chinese characteristics.Receptacles for Buddhist relics (Sanskrit: sarira) such as thepresent lot would have been deeply interred in a vaulted cryptin the foundation of pagodas. Among the ones that have been

excavated in China, none can be dated before the 5th century.It was between the Northern Dynasties and the Tang Dynastythat the making of Buddhist reliquaries and their burial underpagodas of monasteries flourished.The traditional Chinese Buddhist reliquary is typically a square-shaped stone chest with a chamfered lid. The stone chesthowever is only the outermost layer in a nest of three to fivecontainers. The reliquary excavated from Dayunsi monasteryin Jingchuan, Gansu Province, for example is comprised of fournested containers: a stone casket with a chamfered lid, a giltbronze casket, a silver sarcophagus, and finally a gold coffin inwhich a glass bottle containing grains of sarira was found.Of the stone reliquaries known, most are of plain form with thesides uncarved and only the lid inscribed. Stone reliquarieswith bas-relief carvings around the sides, typically depictingscenes from the life of Shakyamuni Buddha, are extremelyrare. A stone reliquary with bas-relief carving, also from theTang Dynasty, is mentioned in P.E.Karetzky: A Scene of theParinirvana on a Recently Excavated Stone Reliquary of theTang Dynasty, in East and West, Vol. 38, No. 1/4 (December1988), pp. 215-230.For further reading, see Hong Yang: Ancient BuddhistReliquaries in China and Korea, in: Chinese Archaelogy, Vol. 10,Issue 1, 2010.

With traces of cobalt evident in the Tang dynasty it is not untilthe Yuan dynasty that the art of blue and white porcelainbecame the “most revolutionary technical and decorativeinnovation of the mongol regime in China, if not the whole ofChinese ceramic History” (m. medley 1969: The Chinese Potter).The Yuan dynasty’s connections with the middle east saw theimport of cobalt and spurred the creation of these wares tomeet the demands of the middle eastern merchants andsubsequently for export. Whilst these merchants provided thestimuli for these types of wares, they were neverthelesspainted with Chinese motifs, such as bands of scrolling lotusflowers symbolic of Buddhism. The imported cobalt which wasdifficult to grind was boldly applied in what is now regarded asan attractive quality of being ‘heaped and piled’, with some

cobalt particles frequently seen at the end of each brushstroke. The firing of these new wares took great technical skillto achieve the proper shades of blue by controlling thetemperature and reducing effect in the kiln. This skillaccompanied by the viscosity of the Yuan glaze prevented thecobalt diffusing, allowing clear, intricate decoration of whichthis period is renowned (s. J. Vainker 1995: Chinese Pottery andPorcelain: From Prehistory to Present).For a comparable blue and white charger, also from the YuanDynasty, see Bonhams’ sale in their Hong Kong rooms on 4thDecember 2008, lot 216.For another rare blue and white Yuan charger, but with the‘mandarin ducks’ motif, see Christie’s sale in their Hong Kongrooms on 30th may 2012, lot 4054.


ernest Thornhill lived in Clapham, london and was a Britishpharmacist registered with the royal Pharmaceutical societyfrom 1890 to 1936. Thornhill is acknowledged as an ardent andknowledgeable collector of asian ceramics, collecting from anumber of sources including the renowned firm of Bluett &sons. Few details are known about his personal life, but henevertheless has made his mark with the philanthropic legacyhe left behind him.

in 1926 and in 1933 Thornhill donated six pieces of hiscollection to the British museum, however it was not until later,during the london Blitz in World War ii, that he sent theremaining 276 pieces to the then North staffordshire TechnicalCollege for safekeeping. as a mark of appreciation to thecollege for their generosity he later bequeathed the entirecollection to them for its future study and appreciation.

Over time the college merged with a number of institutions tobecome staffordshire University and the collection has

remained at the University ever since. in the 1970s, ProfessorFlavia swann, Head of art and Design History at Northstaffordshire Polytechnic, ensured that the collection was fullycatalogued, thanks to funding from the spode Trust. inaddition a scholarly paper describing the Collection waspublished in the Transactions of the Oriental Ceramics society1983–1984, Vol.48. in keeping with the wishes of mr Thornhill,all the works were displayed at the University until the early1990s.

The Thornhill stem Cup is an excellent example of its type,which is virtually unseen outside museum collections. Themotif of flying dragons was popular in the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), but was revived in the Xuande (1425-1435) as can beseen in this case. The fearsome five-clawed dragon fliesamongst flames, chasing the eternally flaming pearl, above asea with crashing waves tipped in white, with rocks seenaround the base. The stem Cup is crowned by the elegantlypainted six-character reign mark within the cup, and circled bydouble rings, repeated on the inside and outside rim, and onthe foot. This is a truly remarkable and rare piece, of a type notseen at auction for many years.The reign of the emperor Xuande commenced when the mingdynasty (1368-1644) had been in power for 60 years, and China


found herself thriving under new leaders. They had a capableand just government, there were no recent wars or naturaldisasters, and artistic inspiration was allowed to flourish at thekilns at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province. Xuande was a muchrespected leader, well read and versed in the classics, and atalented artist in his own right. He was fascinated by porcelainand was a keen collector. The word ming translates as brilliant,and this applies to the treasures produced during the reigns ofthe triumvirate of emperors; Yongle, Xuande and Chenghua.scholars agree that the reign of the Xuande emperorrepresents the apogee of blue and white ceramic productionduring the ming dynasty. The clay was purified several times toproduce the whitest and finest porcelain.

(front) (back)



The wares’ unique qualities include theglaze, which is thick and lustrous, witha buttery softness to it that respondsto touch, and a luminosityunsurpassed in later wares. This glazeis untainted by age, and consequentlythe pieces still give us the samepleasure today as when the emperorXuande held them in his hands.

Today, The National Palace museum,acknowledged to hold the finest collection in theworld, has a collection of over 2,000 various Xuandepieces. The British museum and The Percival David Foundationcollection (now housed in the British museum) also hold anumber of interesting Xuande wares including a small number

of stem cups. The museum’s collectionconsists of three similar stem cups, onewith a lotus scroll, one with a phoenixin flight and the last with dragons on ablue wave ground.

The Percival David Foundation has avery similar stem cup, but with a Qilin on

the cup rather than the flying dragon. analmost identical cup is found in the National

Palace museum in Taiwan, although with ameander border circling the foot [see Catalogue of

the special exhibition of selected Hsüan-Te imperialPorcelains of the ming Dynasty, National Palace museum,1998].

30.1cm diam

Provenance:Private english Collection.

Note:Following the passing of the Chinese emperor Xuande and theempowerment of the empress Dowager as regent, theinterregnum period of blank ceramics commenced. With theimplementation of an edict banning the production of blue andwhite wares, which had flourished in production and use underthe emperor Xuande, empress Dowager promoted a new stylein ceramics. Following her passing and the succession ofChenghua we encounter not only a revival in the production ofblue and white wares but a period where it can be argued thatit reached its zenith, as it is considered the main rival toXuande wares. The earlier pieces, still with the darker importedcobalt remaining from Xuande, show transition into the lighterblues of locally mined cobalt that the period is more knownfor. The locally mined cobalt was more malleable to prepareand apply, resulting in the replacement of the ‘heaped andpiled’ effect to a much softer and even toned greyish blue.Comparatively very few pieces of Chenghua wares bear thereign mark of the period. However, examples such as thepresent dish with the Chenghua reign mark allow us tounderstand that it was accorded official approval and intendedfor imperial use with the dragons all endowed with five claws.For further reading, see D. macintosh (1994): Chinese Blue andWhite Porcelain.

Note:The term langyao (‘lang wares’) derives its name from langTingji, supervisor of the official kilns at Jingdezhen between


1705-1712, who is credited with the revival of monochromeglazes and particularly copper-red glazes.The copper-red colour is often considered the mostchallenging to regulate during the firing process as exactly theright conditions are required within the kiln to achieve the richtones. although copper-red was used successfully in the mingdynasty, particularly during the Xuande period, the copper-redmonochrome glazes seen in the Qing dynasty became evenmore refined and were of an exceptionally even and vibranttone. The fine glaze and elegant form of the present vasedemonstrates the skill of the Chinese potters under langTingji.a similar vase of larger size was sold by Christie’s in theirlondon rooms on 13th may 2014, lot 100.

In the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), bianzhong werecommonly played during ceremonies at the Temple of Heavenand the Temple of Agriculture, as well as during imperialbanquets and state rites. Bells of this type were usuallyassembled in graduate sets of sixteen, producing twelvedifferent musical tones and four repeated tones of a loweroctave. Their respective musical notes were determined bytheir thickness. As depicted in court paintings, bianzhongwould have been suspended in two tiers of eight over tall andelaborate wooden frames. Some of these bells were reputed tohave left China during the late 19th and early 20th century. Afew of these bells, particularly from the Ming dynasty, haveresurfaced at auction over the past decade, including anidentical gilt-bronze bell sold at Sotheby’s Paris, 9th June 2010,lot 43.
