The Bedchamber Sword of Tipu Sultan (reg. 1782-1799), a fine gold-koftgari-hilted steel sword (sukhela) India, 18th Centurythe single-edged steel blade with flattened spine becoming double-edged towards the point, gold-overlaid inscription to spine, gold overlaid orb and parasol mark to one side, engraved inscription in English within a rectangular cartouche to the other, the steel hilt of typical tulwar form with dished disc pommel, convex pommel cap with hinged gold loop for sword knot, bellied grip and short waisted quillons curving slightly towards the tip of the blade, the hilt itself canted slightly forward, inlaid in gold with inscriptions in thuluth, bubri motifs to the edge, pierced hole to blade; the wood scabbard clad entirely in green corded silk velvet, with three silver-gilt mounts engraved overall with bubri stripes and floral motifs, the upper two with gilded iron suspension loops, the chape with impressed inscription-filled bubri motif (Haider control mark) to each side 105.9 cm. long; blade 92.9 cm. long; 109 cm. long (in scabbard)Footnotes:ProvenanceTipu Sultan (reg. 1782-1799), found in his private apartments following his death.Major General David Baird (1757-1829), presented by the Army of the East India Company in May 1799, thence by descent. Dix Noonan Webb, The Baird Jewels and Archive, Including Tipu Sultan's Sword, 19 September 2003, lot 3.Private UK collection.The inscriptions are as follows:THE SWORD OF TIPPOO SULTAUNFound in his Bed Chamber after SERINGAPATAM was taken by Storm 4th May 1799and Presented by the ARMY to MAJOR GENERAL BAIRD through their CommanderLIEUT. GENERAL HARRIS, as a token of their high opinion of his Courage and Conductin the Assault which he Commanded, and in which TIPPOO SULTAUN was slain.To the spine, shamshir-e malik, 'The sword of the king';To the hilt, ya allah! ya nasir! ya fattah! ya nasir! ya mu'in! ya zahir!, 'O Allah!, O the Helper! O the Ever-opener! O the Aider! O The Helper! O The Evident!.Impressed mark to chape, hayderThe Bedchamber SwordAs the cannons fired their last shots, and the waves of battle receded at Seringapatam, Tipu Sultan lay dead amid a heap of wounded, killed fighting hand to hand in the heat of the action. Major General David Baird, commander of the East India Company forces that day, who had previously spent almost four years in Tipu's dungeons, was led to the body by one of the sultan's courtiers. An eyewitness recorded that 'His eyes were open and the body was so warm that for a few moments Colonel Wellesley and myself were doubtful whether he was still alive' - Baird was able to look his adversary in the eye one last time (see Denys Forrest, Tiger of Mysore. The Life and Death of Tipu Sultan, London 1970, p. 293). Later, a sword was recovered from the defeated ruler's private apartments which was subsequently presented to Baird by the Army as a Trophy of his victory. In this way 'The Bedchamber Sword' became the symbol of the late sultan himself – his power and authority yielded to the British General in defeat. It was recorded by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton that 'The Sultan, lest any person should fire upon him while in bed, slept in a hammock, which was suspended from the roof by chains, in such a situation as to be invisible through the windows. In the hammock were found a sword and a pair of pistols.' (Francis Buchanan, A Journey From Madras Through The Countries of Mysore, Canara and Malabar..., London, East India Company, 1807, Vol. 1, p. 72). One can only conjecture that this was the same sword, but considering that it was presented as the Trophy to Baird signifies that it must have been one of his most prized possessions, and its importance would presumably have been known by Tipu's family and retainers at the time the prize was selected. Of all the arms and armour removed from Seringapatam after its fall which have subsequently been sold at auction, the present lot is undoubtedly the most important, with an unbroken provenance taking it back to the final day of the battle itself; moreover, to the bedchamber of the Tiger of Mysore himself. It is almost certainly the most important relic of Seringapatam still in private hands. The sword itself is a masterpiece of Indian art leaving aside its legendary history. With its wide straight blade and tulwar style hilt, it is of a type known in south-eastern India as a sukhela and typically associated with the sword of state. Furthermore, the fact that the blade is of Mughal manufacture, and perhaps of an earlier date, renders the weapon all the more worthy of its kingly ownership and this symbolic status. The gold-inlaid orb, a motif found on 16th Century German blades of the same design, is surmounted by the Mughal Imperial Parasol which was reserved only for the highest quality blades; the gold-inlaid Persian inscription to the spine reads shamshir-e malik, 'The sword of the king'. Topping off the regal blade is an exquisite calligraphic hilt, amongst the rarest types from the Indian sub-continent, decorated in the very finest gold-inlaid Arabic, listing invocations to God. For despite ruling a predominantly Hindu state, Tipu Sultan was a Muslim and a pious and doughty defender of the faith, his sword befitting the extremely high ranking Muslim he was. The sword was originally presented to Baird by Colonel Arthur Wellesley (later the 1st Duke of Wellington) who was convinced that the Major General had the best right to it. It is likely that this was a gesture of reconciliation from the Colonel, who had been made Commandant of Seringapatam the day after the storming, an appointment that had mortified Baird. When word of this gift reached the Prize Committee, however, they insisted that the sword be returned to them as it was not Welleseley's to give. This was, in part, due to the fact that General Harris wished to make it an official gift from the Army to Baird. Subsequently, an order was issued from head-quarters for the general and field-officers to assemble in Harris's tent where the sword was officially presented to Baird as a token of the Army's gratitude to him for his courage in leading the final assault on Seringapatam. After all, it had been Baird who had led the storming party into the deadly breach just hours before the city was conquered. 'P' indicates that this is a Premium Lot.

TAI XIANGZHOU (b.1968)Cosmos Worlds 1 and 2, 2014Two paintings, ink on paper, each framed. 45cm high x 75cm wide (17 3/4in high x 29 1/2in wide). (2).Footnotes:泰祥洲(1968年生) 天象世界1和2 水墨紙本 鏡框 2014年作Born in 1968 to a scholarly family in the provincial capital of Yinchuan, Ningxia, in north-central China, Tai began his training in Chinese calligraphy at the young age of four. After studying interactive design in Auckland, New Zealand, he led successful careers in digital media and conservation, founding the cultural magazine 'Chinese Heritage'. In 2003, his encounter with the painter Liu Dan pushed him to further explore the techniques of traditional Song and Yuan dynasty paintings. By 2006, Tai had devoted himself to ink painting and had begun to investigate Chinese landscape paintings from the perspective of astrology. Under the mentorship of philosopher Bao Lin, he completed his PhD from Tsinghua University in 2012 with a dissertation entitled 'Phenomena of the Universe-The Concepts and Structure of Chinese Landscape Paintings.' This work was highly admired by renowned art historian Fang Wen, who recommended the book in the preface and recommended for publishing by the Zhonghua Book Company. Attending to the nature of the materials of painting, Tai has researched traditional papermaking techniques and now paints exclusively on paper and silk produced by tenth-century methods. He also only uses ink from the Qianlong era (1736-1795), which is considered to be one of the highest-quality inks. In addition to painting, Tai in 2010 created an interactive and multimedia installation based on classical Chinese cosmology, 'The Gateway of Expedient Means', modelled on medieval revolving repositories of Buddhist sutras and constructed in wood using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. He currently lives and works in Beijing. Tai Xiangzhou's works are in the Art Institute of Chicago; the Arthur M.Sackler Museum, Harvard University; the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco; the Brooklyn Museum; Princeton University Art Museum; and Yale University Art Gallery.For related paintings by Tai Xiangzhou, see Ink Worlds: Contemporary Chinese Painting from the Collection of Akiko Yamazaki and Jerry Yang, Stanford, 2018, pp.44-45.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: W TPW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

CHUN-YI LEE (b.1965)Unyielding Mountains, 2009Ink on paper, framed. 66.3cm high x 78.5cm wide (26 1/8in high x 30 7/8in wide).Footnotes:李君毅（1965年生）不屈的山 水墨紙本 鏡框 2009年作Born in Taiwan in 1965, Chun-Yi Lee moved to Hong Kong in 1970 and graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he was deeply influenced by his teacher Liu Kuo-sung. Lee obtained his MFA from the Graduate Program of Fine Arts of Tunghai University in Taiwan. Inspired by the ancient technique of Chinese ink-rubbing, at a distance his landscapes appear to be timeless archetypal landscapes reminiscent of traditional Chinese paintings that symbolise harmony with the cosmos. Upon closer inspection, however, one realises that the landscape is not created by brushstrokes but a stunningly meticulous grid-like structure. Eschewing the brush, Lee Chun-yi creates monumental yet intricately pixelated ink paintings produced by repeatedly imprinting small cubic stamps made of soft wood or cork. Lee's process is inspired by engraved stone steles from the Northern Wei period and the seals affixed to Chinese paintings or carved woodblocks used in traditional printmaking. This creates apparently ordinary yet deconstructed landscapes. Literally building up a visual composition through words, his paintings function as symbolic poems, with the strength of the stamp indicating the intended tone of expression.As a native of Taiwan and student in Hong Kong following the years of cultural unrest in mainland China, Lee positions his works between history and the current situation between the straits. The present lot is stamped with both the Communist hammer and sickle, as well as the Republican sun used in the Taiwanese flag. By depicting the landscape as a fragmented whole, Lee illustrates an interpretation of nationalism. While the landscape acts as a symbol of history and cultural identity, Lee breaks down the whole into a fragmented puzzle and a state of confusion. Lee's art, masterfully executed and thoughtfully conceived, is thus both nostalgic and revolutionary, forging an entirely unique and contemporary visual language even while evoking the past. Lee has participated in over 30 group and solo exhibitions internationally. His works have been collected by the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Harvard University; the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; the Phoenix Art Museum, USA; the Jiangsu Art Museum; the Qingdao Art Museum, China; the National Arts Education Institute, Taipei; the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and other public and private collections.Compare with a related painting by Chun-Yi Lee, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 5 October 2015, lot 2835.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: W TPW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
