Large-scale animal masks appear on some of the most famous vessels of the period, such as the Li gui; see W.Fong, The Great Bronze Age of China, New York, 1980, no.41. The style established by such important works as the Li gui probably enhanced the popularity of this motif at the time.Two related gui vessels from the reign of the third Zhou King, Kang Wang (1020-996 BC or 1005-978 BC) make it likely that the present lot was also produced during the same reign.

A rare silk kesi 'dragon' panelWanliThe rectangular panel finely decorated with a large front-facing dragon coiling around a flaming pearl and emerging from turbulent waves interspersed with pointed rocks, all delicately woven in gold wrapped thread and shades of blue, coral, green, black and yellow, framed and glazed. 92.5cm (36 3/8in) wide x 62.5cm (24 5/8in) high.Footnotes:明萬曆 緙絲趕珠龍紋掛屏Provenance: Sotheby's London, 5 November 2008, lot 372A European private collection來源：倫敦蘇富比，2008年11月5日，拍品編號372歐洲私人收藏Capable of flying high in the sky and diving back in the sea, dragons were since the earliest phases of Chinese history seen as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth and regarded as vehicles transporting humans to immortal realms. According to the 'Book of Songs', compiled in the 3rd century BC, dragons represent victory over the forces of darkness, cast light onto the Gate of Heaven and allow one to glimpse the wondrous residence of immortal beings. A similar kesi 'dragon' panel, 17th century, with a gilt ground was sold at Christie's South Kensington, 11 November 2015, lot 610, and a further kesi dragon panel, 17th century, as a table frontal from the collection of Jean-Pierre Dubosc (1903-1988), was sold at Christie's Paris, 9 June 2015, lot 18.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A very rare huanghuali and hongmu scholar's table17th/18th century The rectangular top with a mitred frame and moulded edge above a recessed waist fitted with a large drawer and decorated with reticulated designs of oblong cartouches, all above a straight apron and four rectangular legs joined by a hongmu 'cracked-ice' lattice footrest. 86cm (33 7/8in) high x 110.5cm (43 2/2in) wide x 49cm (19 2/8in) deep.Footnotes:十七/十八世紀 黃花梨紅木帶屜書桌Provenance: an English private collection, and thence by descent.

Large tables, such as the present example, would have occupied a central position in a scholar's studio. Their broad surface could easily accommodate a variety of decorative objects and the accoutrements typically associated with the scholar, such as a brushes, inkstones, water pots, brush pots and small scholar's rocks. Conveying a sense of structural lightness, the high waist of the table provides added strength, making the presence of stretchers redundant. With its high waist and a large drawer, the present table illustrates how variations within a classic design could be formed through subtle changes and refinement of details. The drawer was probably used to store writing material and is cleverly hidden below the table frame. Drawers are often associated with 17th-18th furniture construction, as they first entered the Chinese furniture vocabulary with the introduction of Western-style furniture. An example of huanghuali table, late 17th century, fitted with a drawer, is illustrated by M.Flacks, Classical Chinese Furniture, New York, 1997, p.189.See also a huanghuali table, Ming dynasty, featuring a similarly-shaped reticulated design for the waist, illustrated by Wang Shixiang, Connoisseur of Chinese Furniture. Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, vol.2, Hong Kong, 1990, p.94, no.B77. Huanghuali tables displaying such elegant reticulated hongmu lower panels as the present example are exceptionally rare. Conveying a dramatic visual effect, the openwork design, known as binglieshi, or 'ice-crackled' decoration, was described in Ji Cheng's influential book, 'The Garden Treatise', Yuanye, compiled in 1631, as the 'best design for window panels for the simple yet most elegant lines. The auspicious design heightened the rich luminosity of the costly huanghuali wood and varying light sources created an intriguing network of shadows throughout the day. A huanghuali high-waisted table with similar proportions as the present example and dated to the 16th-17th century, is illustrated by Kai-Yin Lo in Classical and Vernacular Chinese Furniture in the Living Environment, Hong Kong, 1998, pp.148-149, no.26.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A rare set of four huanghuali armchairs, meiguiyi18th/19th centuryEach with a rectangular top rail mortised and tenoned to the stiles, set with a beaded-edge apron shaped with curving scrolls enclosing two confronted chilong heads contending the yin and yang symbol, all tongue-and-grooved into the top rail, the stiles continuing through the seat frame and extending as the back legs, the arms mortise and tenon to the stiles and posts, continuing through the seat and extending as the front legs, the hard cane seat bordered by a horizontal stretcher set with vertical pillar-shaped struts below, the front beaded-edged apron carved in low relief with meandering tendrils, the side aprons and the back apron left plain, the front legs joined by a shaped footrest atop a plain shaped apron on the front and aprons on the sides, the legs joined by rounded square stretchers. 82cm (32 2/8in) high 59.5cm (23 2/8in) wide x 45cm (17 6/8in) deep (4).Footnotes:十八/十九世紀 黃花梨券口靠背玫瑰椅 四張成堂Provenance: an English private collection, and thence by descentThe collection was formed by the grandfather of the former owner who was the Assistant Commissioner, Shanghai Municipal Police, 1919-1928. His father was a Protestant missionary in China. The family returned to England shortly after the Second World War.來源：英國私人收藏，並由後人保存迄今。本拍品前任藏家之祖父曾於1919至1928年任上海公共租界工部局警務處副官，其父為一名新教傳教士；第二次世界大戰爆發後，舉家回到英格蘭。Notable for their refined elegance, slender lines and light construction, the present chairs are exceptional examples of their type. Chairs displaying a low rectangular back, only slightly higher than the arms, which were placed at right angles to the front posts, were referred to as 'rose chairs, meiguiyi, or writing chairs, wenyi. The straight back and arms gave a sense of austerity to the scholars sitting in them and would fit neatly under the window of a scholar's studio, without obstructing the view outside. Much praised for their compact proportions, meiguiyi chairs are characterised by their top rail and arms curving smoothly into the posts, imitating the flexibility of bamboo by means of complex mortise-and-tenon joints. Moreover, the chairs are lightened by the use of the humpback stretchers with pillar-shaped struts above the seat frame. This design is thought to have been inspired by a low-back armchair manufactured during the Song dynasty, an example of which is depicted in a twelfth century painting by Ma Gongxian (act.1131-1162). Here Li Ao (d.ca. 844), a Confucian scholar, is seeking instruction from Yaoshan Weiyan (751-834), a Chan master, who is seated on a low bamboo chair which resembles the construction of a meiguiyi, with the addition of a back rest. Low-back armchairs were also frequently depicted in paintings and prints dating to the Ming and Qing dynasties. A 'Literary Gathering in the Apricot Garden', painted by the court artist Xie Huan (act.1426-1452), features 'The Three Yangs' scholars of the Hanlin Academy besides bamboo and hardwood low-back armchairs. Meiguiyi armchairs also served as informal seats for women: this is visible on a woodblock print illustration to 'Phoenix Seeks a Mate' Huang Qiu Feng, a drama dating to the Qing dynasty, which depicts three court ladies seated on low-back armchairs.Smaller and less formal than the 'yoke-back' or 'horseshoe-back' armchair, low-back armchairs were often more ornately decorated, displaying decorative frames and stretchers on the back panels, such as the present examples. The back frame of the present examples features an elaborate silhouette embellished with delicate designs of angular spirals and perky chi dragons enclosing the yin/yang symbol, while the arch-shaped frame of the base displays a curling tendril motif on the seat apron.For a detailed discussion of low-back armchairs meiguiyi and their Song dynasty origin, see S.Handler, 'Rose, Bamboo and the Low-Back Armchair', in Chinese Furniture: Selected Articles from Orientations, 1984-1999, Hong Kong, 1999, pp.250-256.

A rare small bamboo-veneered 'double lozenge' box and cover18th centuryExquisitely decorated in tiehuang technique, the top with interlinked squares of varied archaistic scrollwork, the sides with two registers of linked 'S'-shaped angular scrolls, the bamboo patinated to a light golden-brown. 11cm (4 3/8in) wide. (2).Footnotes:十八世紀 文竹連雲紋方勝式盒Provenance: a European private collection來源：歐洲私人收藏Works of art produced in the zhuhuang or 'bamboo-veneer' technique became especially popular during the reign of the Qianlong emperor. It is a decorative method that involves the separation of the veneer which is of light yellow colouration and is taken from the inner wall of the bamboo stem. The veneer is then applied over a wood core, and is carved in shallow relief. As the colour of the bamboo skin is lighter than wood, the design is left in reserve against the darker background, resulting in an elegant and attractive two-toned finish. A related but larger bamboo-veneer covered box of this form, from the Qing Court Collection, is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Bamboo, Wood, Ivory and Rhinoceros Horn Carvings, Shanghai, 2001, pl.72.

Easily folded and carried over the shoulder, light weight, and durable, folding stools were a practical alternative for seating when travelling or hunting. Although separately attached footrests became relatively rare on chairs during the Ming dynasty, they were often retained for convenience on stools, which were more frequently moved.According to Robert Ellsworth, stools featuring a similar shape as the present example may have been used as ad-hoc palanquin seats. The placement of footrests on both sides in fact suggests that the passenger or palanquin bearers would not need to turn around when coming and going.For a huanghuali folding stool, late Ming dynasty, see R.H.Ellsworth, Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, New York, 1996, pp.42-43, no.1.Compare with a related huanghuali folding stool, 17th/18th century, which was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 May 2018, lot 3018.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Although this movement originated in a renewed scholarly interest in ancient texts and inscriptions on archaic bronzes, as literati sought a more empirical approach to understanding their ancient heritage, it led to a greater fascination for decorative designs adopted from ancient bronzes too.Several jade cups with chilong handles and archaistic designs, Ming dynasty, are illustrated in the Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum: Jade, 7, Beijing, 2011, nos.138, 148.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * Y* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.Y Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
