PALLADIO, Andrew (1518-1580). The Architecture of A. Palladio. London: John Darby for the author, 1721.2 volumes in one, folio (465 x 284 mm). Engraved frontispiece, engraved portrait of Palladio, 230 copper-engraved plates by Bernard Picart, Michael Vandergucht, John Harris and others (most full-page, 5 double-page and a few in text). (Some toning and spotting, a few marginal repairs.) Contemporary calf (rebacked and repaired, some wear).Second edition in English of Palladio's influential architectural treatise, translated by Giacomo Leoni. The two editions form ''a turning point in the history of British Palladianism,'' marking not only the first complete English translation of I Quattro Libri but the first use of ''worthwhile engraved copies of the original woodcuts'' (RIBA). While portions of the original Italian text had been translated into English during the 17th century, the first edition in English in 1715 sparked a Palladian architectural revival in Great Britain and its American colonies.

A George III 'Lac Bergaute' and Black and Gilt-Japanned Secretaire Cabinet-on-StandCirca 1765, Incorporating 17th Century Chinese Lacquer PanelsHeight overall 61 x width 26 x depth 18 1/4 inches.This lot is located in Chicago.Provenance:Sir Phillip Sassoon, Bt., Trent Park, Hertfordshire, recorded in Sir Philip's bedroom in 1939;Christie's, London, Works of Art from Collections of The Cholmondeley Family and the Late Sir Philip Sassoon, Bt. from Houghton, 8 December 1994, Lot 117 (with catalog)James Hepworth, London, 5 June 1996 (with copy invoice)Literature:C. Hussey, "Japanned Furniture at Trent Park," Country Life, 18 October 1930, p. 498, fig. 4P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, rev. ed., 1954, Vol. I, p. 85, fig. 43R. Edwards, The Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture, London, 1964, p. 101, fig. 30Note:With its 17th century Chinese lacquer panels lushly inset with mother of pearl, this elegant secretaire epitomizes the height of the English fascination with the East popularized by the designs in Thomas Chippendale" The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker" Director, 1754-1763. Their frequent combination of Chinese elements within an at times blinding array of naturalistic and Classical forms served as inspiration and a creative ideal. Elements from Chippendale" designs, such as the fretwork seen on the legs of the present lot, depicted in China Shelves (plate CLXI) and the Chinese Cabinet (plate CXXIII) from 1761, were likely drawn upon by this as yet unknown cabinet-maker. The secretaire's sophisticated melange of Chinese and Western ornament, and particularly its use of lac bergaute, an incredibly rare and expensive form of Chinese lacquer, indicates it was almost certainly a specific commission by an unknown aristocratic patron similar to the 4th Duke of Badminton (1704-1759). His Chinoiserie bedroom apartment at Badminton, Gloucestershire, which was supplied by William and John Linnell in the 1750s has two related japanned china cabinets which show yet another interpretation of this all-encompassing aesthetic (H. Hayward, William and John Linnell, London, 1980, fig. 218).The descendant of two prominent Jewish banking families, the Sassoons and the Rothschilds, politician, patron and connoisseur Sir Phillip Sassoon (1888-1939) was at home in the highest aristocratic circles. Sassoon" aesthetic eye saw the potential of Trent Park, an unremarkable house with grounds designed by the pre-eminent 19th century landscape architect Humphry Repton (1752-1818) and hired the architect Philip Tilden (1887-1956) to transform the house into a Georgian mansion worthy of this setting. The eminent British architectural historian Christopher Hussey (1899-1970) said that Sassoon captured "that indefinable and elusive quality, the spirit of a country house... an essence of cool, flowery, chintzy, elegant, unobtrusive rooms that rises in the mind when we are thinking of country houses." Trent Park and its grounds were documented in the 18 October 1930 issue of Country Life. After Sassoon" death, this cabinet and other works from his collection went to Houghton, the home of his sister Sybil, Marchioness of Cholmondeley (1894-1989).Photo Credit: Japanned Cabinet, Trent Park from Country Life, 18 October 1930: Future Publishing Ltd.Overall well-conserved, original condition.

Ca. 200-300 AD. A schist head of a bodhisattva, with elaborate coiffure featuring a topknot (Ushnisha) and carefully-detailed hair, nice headband, heavy, lowered eyelids, elegant nose, neat moustache, closed mouth and strong chin. His identity as a bodhisattva is established by the presence of a well-defined urna on his forehead. Together, these details create a majestic impression of a bodhisattva or individual who is able to reach nirvana (enlightenment) but delays doing so through compassion for suffering beings. The back is rough and unfinished, suggesting this piece was originally placed in an architectural setting. Gandhara was an ancient region in the Peshawar basin in the north-west of the ancient Indian subcontinent. The Kushan period (c. 75-451 AD) of Gandharan art, to which this head belongs, was the golden age of artistic production in the area.

A WOOD RELIEF OF A DANCING DEITY, KERALA, SOUTH INDIA, 18TH TO EARLY 19TH CENTURYRichly carved and reticulated with a dancing male deity, his right hand raised above the head holding a sword, the left arm wrapped around a hoop, dressed in a dhoti and finely embellished with beaded and floral jewelry, a richly adorned scarf at the shoulders, the face with bulging eyes below arched eyebrows centered by an urna, a bushy mustache, and surmounted by a floral crown, flanked by a dancing male and female attendant, each adorned with fine jewelry, and in the top right with a vyala next to a parasol. Provenance: Jeremy Knowles Ltd., London, United Kingdom, 2006. A British private collection, acquired from the above. A copy of the original invoice from Jeremy Knowles, dated 2 April 2006, describing the piece as a wooden chariot panel, and dating it from the late 18th to the early 19th century, accompanies this lot. Jeremy Knowles has been dealing with Indian and Asian works of art for over 25 years, specializing in fine and decorative sculpture and paintings. After working as a specialist in the Indian and Southeast Asian department of Spink and Son Ltd., he established his own business in 1993. He has previously exhibited at Asian Art in London, the Arts of Pacific Asia show in New York, and the Brussels Oriental Art Fair. Condition: Commensurate with age, with obvious losses, expected age cracks, chips, scratches, splits, warping, wormholes, extensive wear, signs of weathering, and old repairs with remnants of adhesive, but overall displaying extraordinarily well.Weight: 15.5 kg Dimensions: Height 58.4 cm (excl. base), 61 cm (incl. base)Wooden architecture is especially prevalent in Kerala, and ancient wooden prototypes are considered the forerunners of stone temple architecture. However, due to the perishable nature of the material and the tropical climate, only a few early examples have survived.A vyala is a mythical beast with the body of a lion and a horned, chimeric head. These figures are among the most common features of Indian temple architecture and usually act as brackets, set into the recesses of the exterior walls, typically supporting overhanging cornices. The composite figure of a lion and a mythical head is a symbol of both royalty and the force of nature, and their placement within temple architecture often serves as an element of protection.Literature comparison:Compare a related wooden temple cart of Shiva as Bhikshatana, 19th century, in the British Museum, museum number 1997,0127.4.
