GERARDO PITA (Madrid, 1950)."Landscape of Madrid".Oil on canvas.Enclosed certificate of authenticity issued by the artist.Measurements: 60 x 81 cm; 68,5 x 89 cm (frame).In this panoramic view of the city of Madrid captured from a rooftop, it is possible to appreciate a day of bright and intense sky on which the silhouettes of some of the most emblematic buildings of the city are cut out. In fact, the quadrigas that form part of the rooftop of what is now the Department of the Environment can be seen perfectly, and part of the dome of the Catalavras church can also be seen.Gerardo Pita, originally from Madrid, developed an artistic interest from his youth, in fact, at the age of thirteen he entered a painting competition for the first time, in which he received a gold medal, and a year later a bronze medal. This interest in painting and drawing led him to enrol in a degree in architecture. However, in 1972, he abandoned this facet to devote himself entirely to painting. He held his first exhibition in 1976 at the Vandrés Gallery in Madrid, which was followed by many others in important art centres such as; Fisher Fine Art Limited Gallery in London, Staempfli Gallery in New York, Club Financiero Génova, Galería Eude in Barcelona, Hollis Taggart Galleries (Washington and New York) and the Galería Leandro Navarro in Madrid, among others. His work is characterised by the use of a hyperrealist aesthetic, charged with a very personal lyricism. Today his work can be visited in important art collections such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, the Arkansas Arts Foundation Collection, the E. F. Hulton Collection (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and the Art Institute of Chicago.F Hulton Collection (New York), Seavest of contemporary Realism Collection (New York), Melon University Collection (Pennsylvania), Exxon Company Collection, Baron Thyssen- Bornemisza Collection (Lugano, Switzerland), Hunt Institute Collection (Pennsylvania), Argentaria Collection (Madrid), Caja de Brugos Collection, Palacete de la Magdalena Collection (Oviedo), and Fundación Suñol Collection (Barcelona), among others.

A VERY RARE GOLD AND SILVER-INLAID BRONZE TAPIR-SHAPED VESSEL, XIZUNYuan/Ming DynastyFinely cast after the archaic bronze wine vessel zun in the form of a tapir, the beast standing foursquare with head facing forward with an upturned snout, cast in relief with bulging gold-inlaid eyes below curved brows, the face and pricked ears further decorated with archaistic motifs inlaid with gold and silver, the neck encircled with a collar, the taut muscular body inlaid in silver with broad spirals on either side, the densely inlaid tail pointed downwards, the hollow body fitted with a small leaf-shaped hinged cover, the bronze with an enhanced greenish-brown patina with patches of malachite-green encrustation.17cm (6 11/18in) long.Footnotes:元/明 銅錯金銀犧尊Provenance: Mark Dineley (1901-1975)Peter Dineley (1938-2018), and thence by descent來源:Mark Dineley(1901-1975年)舊藏Peter Dineley(1938-2018年)舊藏,並由後人保存迄今Mark Dineley and his son Peter Cleverly Dineley collected antique arms and armour, Chinese, Tibetan and Nepalese art amongst other interests. The collections were displayed in the former family home, Aubrey House, located in Holland Park, London - a stately 18th century house. The house came into the Dineley family when it was acquired in 1873 by William Cleverly Alexander (1840-1916) from whom Mark and Peter were descended. Alexander was a banker and a great connoisseur and patron of the artist James McNeill Whistler, as well as a renowned collector of Chinese ceramics, jade and Japanese art, much of which is now in the British Museum, London, including the celebrated Northern Song Alexander bowl. He was amongst the lenders to exhibitions held at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1895, 1896 and 1910 and to the City of Manchester Art Gallery's Exhibition of Chinese Applied Art in 1913, and to exhibitions held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. In May 1931 his collection of Chinese ceramics, including 355 lots, was sold over two days and Sir Percival David acquired a significant part, now in the British Museum.This rare zoomorphic vessel illustrates the scholar's interest in antiquity and especially in ancient bronzes. Bronze vessels of this form with inlaid silver and gold decoration are based on ancient prototypes which originated as early as the Western Zhou dynasty. Tapir-form bronze vessels of this type began to appear in greater numbers in the Eastern Zhou dynasty, see for example a tapir-form vessel featuring intricate inlay, Spring and Autumn or Warring States period, illustrated in Masterworks of Chinese Bronze in the National Palace Museum, National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1969, pl.25. The examples from the Bronze Age appear to have found favour with the Northern Song Emperor Huizong (reigned 1100-1126), who was a very keen antiquarian and who instigated the publication of illustrated catalogues of the items in his collection. One of these - the Xuanhe Bogu tulu (Xuanhe Illustrated Collection of Antiques)- included an illustration of such an early bronze vessel. While the original edition would not have been readily available to later craftsmen, it was reprinted on a number of occasions, and the illustration of this zoomorphic vessel appears, for example, in the 1528 edition, known as the Bogu tulu.The popularity of these zoomorphic vessels continued into the Yuan and Ming periods. See a related bronze 'tapir' vessel inlaid with gold and silver, Yuan dynasty, in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum, Saint Louis (acc.no.273:1919), illustrated by P.K.Hu, Later Chinese Bronzes: The Saint Louis Art Museum and Robert E.

Sir Michael's maternal grandparents were Sir Robert Grenville Harvey, 2nd Baronet (1856-1931) and Lady Emily Blanche Harvey (1872-1935) of Langley Park, Buckinghamshire. The Chinese art collection can be, at least in part, traced back to Langley Park, Buckinghamshire, home to the Harvey Baronets from 1788 until 1945, as demonstrated in a pre-1945 photograph showing Lot 122, the cloisonné enamel tripod 'elephant' incense burner, Qianlong.Sir Michael Oppenheimer's paternal family was the well-known South African mining family. The baronetcy was created in 1921 for Bernard Oppenheimer, Chairman of the South African Diamond Corporation for setting up diamond sorting factories to employ wounded ex-servicemen after the First World War. The family has been involved with De Beers over many decades. Lady Oppenheimer DD (1926-2022) was a distinguished moral and philosophical theologian, with a particular interest in the ethics pertaining to personal relationships.This rare zoomorphic vessel is based on ancient prototypes which originated from at least as early as the Western Zhou dynasty. Tapir-form bronze vessels of this type began to appear in greater numbers in the Eastern Zhou dynasty; compare with a tapir-form vessel, Spring and Autumn or Warring States period, finely inlaid with gold and silver geometric designs, illustrated in Masterworks of Chinese Bronze in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1969, pl.25. The examples from the Bronze Age appear to have found favour with the Northern Song Emperor Huizong (reigned 1100-1126), who was a very keen antiquarian and who instigated the publication of illustrated catalogues of the items in his collection.

While the original edition would not have been readily available to later craftsmen, it was reprinted on a number of occasions, and the illustration of this zoomorphic vessel appears, for example, in the 1528 edition, known as the Bogu tulu.The name xizun appears in both the Bo gu tu, compiled during the Northern Song dynasty, and the 'Catalogue of the Antiquities in the Xiqing Pavilion', Xiqing gu jian, compiled in the eighteenth century. The word xi meaning 'sacrificial victim', often refers to an ox or another animal.Vessels shaped as tapirs are often dated to the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Durham Condition Report: With marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age, handling, cleaning and everyday useThese formerly would have had candle sconces to the centre of each- now absent. There are still visible screw holes and threads where these would have been fitted. Dreweatts can make no comments or guarantees how easily these would be to replace. The glass is a bit of a mix suggesting various stages of ad hoc replacement. Would suggest that little remains of original glass fitments.

We have elected not to try and clean this- to allow the potential purchaser either to leave it as it is- or effect remedial cleaning to their own preference.There are four entire drops missing to one lustre, to both there are some variation to the drops and these are by no means a complete 'set' various replacements over the years have been used it is impossible to say which may be original or not Please refer to additional images for visual references to condition which forms part of this condition report.All lots are available for inspection and Condition Reports are available on request.

A FRENCH GILT BRONZE FIGURAL CANDLESTICK AFTER CORNEILLE VAN CLEVE (1645-1732) LATE 18TH OR EARLY 19TH CENTURY The candlestick formed as a Satyr seated on a dog and holding a cornucopia terminating in the candle sconce, raised on a heavy pierced rococo base 37cm high overall The design of this candlestick is a variant on a design by the French baroque sculptor Corneille Van Clève. has been noted that a pair of three-light candelabra recorded as lot 154 in the 1761 sale of the late Trésorier général de la Marine, Marcellin-Francois-Zacharie de Selle: "Deux très beaux Chandeliers à trois branches, enriches d'ornemens. Les tiges sont compoées l'une d'une Bacchante, qui ayant un pied posé sur un Dauphin, tient de la main droite un autre Dauphin par la tête, dont la queue soutient la bobèche, A l'autre tige, est un Satyre assis sur un Tigre, il teint une corne d'abondance d'où sort la bobèche; leurs pieds sont en rocailles et moulures." This example substitutes a dog for the tiger- a less martial display more suitable for a household setting.Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age and useDirt and discolouration to the gilt metal, areas of rubbing and wear, unevenness to the surfaceSome pittingDoes not appear to have been drilled to convert to electricity, there is some wax deposits to the interior of the sconce.

AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE BLUE AND WHITE '384 SHOU' BRUSHPOT, BITONGKangxi six-character mark and of the periodThe cylindrical vessel rising from a grooved foot ring, painted around the exterior of the straight walls in vibrant tones of cobalt-blue with 384 Shou ('longevity') characters in various calligraphic styles of seal script. 17cm (6 3/4in) diam.

There is a closely related brushpot with Shou characters in underglaze copper-red, Kangxi, but supported on three short feet and with no mark on the base, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Blue and White Porcelain with Underglaze Red, Shanghai, 2000, p.182, no.166, where the authors note that it was made in the late Kangxi period. Another related blue and white brushpot decorated with Shou characters, Chenghua six-character mark, Kangxi, with flat and slightly recessed 'button' base, is in the Art Museum, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (acc.no.2000.0081). Stylistically, the present brushpot with numerous Shou characters is also related to a large blue and white 'ten thousand Shou character' zun vase, Kangxi, from the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Blue and White Porcelain with Underglaze Red, Shanghai, 2000, pp.8-9, no.5. Another similar blue and white zun vase with Shou characters, Kangxi, is in the Nanjing Museum, and illustrated in Qing Imperial Porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Reigns, Hong Kong, 1995, no.12. See also a blue and white baluster vase, Kangxi, decorated with Shou characters in various seal script, illustrated in Qing Shunzhi Kangxi chao qinghuaci, Beijing, 2005, p.436.With regards to the date of the present lot, the channelled foot ring suggests that it was made in the early Kangxi period. The channelled foot ring is a feature that appeared in the Shunzhi reign. A blue and white brushpot with channelled foot, cyclically dated to 1667, serves to demonstrate that by this year, the potters were still producing pieces with an unglazed channel foot ring. Extant pieces bearing cyclical dates show that by 1671, fully developed unglazed channel foot rings were commonly used. This channelled foot ring however, virtually disappeared by the late Kangxi reign; see T.Canepa and K.Butler, Leaping the Dragon Gate: The Sir Michael Butler Collection of 17th-Century Chinese Porcelain, London, 2021, p.374. Therefore, it is very likely that the present brushpot was made circa 1670's. Another clue that the present lot could have been made in the 1670's, is the close stylistic relationship between the style of the Shou characters and a dictionary re-published in 1670. The characters on the present brushpot include unusual variants of the Shou character including in so-called 'tadpole' script (kedou wen 蝌蚪文) and 'birds and worms' script (niaochong wen 鳥蟲文). The characters on the brushpot appear to be based on the Jinshi yunfu (金石韻府) or 'Treasury of Ancient Characters on Bronze and Stone', an epigraphic dictionary that combines characters from earlier dictionaries and a wide range of sources. It was originally compiled by the Ming scholar Zhu Yun in 1530, but in 1670 another edition was published, from which the present lot may have been based on. The Kangxi reign ushered in a new age for epigraphy with numerous scholars and Imperially sponsored projects compiling new dictionaries; the largest among these was the 'Kangxi Dictionary' published in 1716, the most authoritative dictionary of Chinese characters from the 18th century until the 20th century. The proliferation of dictionaries reflects the Kangxi emperor's personal concern for Confucian culture and to foster the standardisation of the writing system. This paved the way for the height of the 'searching for evidence' movement (kaozheng 考證) in the Qianlong era: a rigorous new philology that sparked closer scrutiny of stone inscriptions and inscriptions on archaic bronze. The fascination for characters can be seen on a screen with Shou characters, used in the background of a painting of a lady; see 'Twelve Beauties at Leisure Painted for Prince Yinzhen', late Kangxi, illustrated in China: The Three Emperors 1662-1795, London, 2005, pp.258-259. Scholars generally accept the large blue and white zun vases with Shou characters mentioned above, were ordered by the Kangxi Emperor for his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's (1613-1688) 60th birthday (corresponding to 1673 in the Gregorian calendar). Furthermore, in 1674, the major kilns in Jingdezhen were razed to the ground following the chaos and suppression of the Revolt of the Three Feudatories (1673-1681). The rebuilding of the kilns was not completed until 1684. It therefore seems likely that the present lot was also made for the occasion of an Imperial birthday before 1674. Another opinion, though less likely, is that the present lot was made after 1684, for the occasion of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's 75th birthday (1687, by Chinese count), which would correspond to the period when several vessels were written and signed by Gong Yuzi (攻玉子). Gong Yuzi was apparently active for only a three year period between the 26th and 28th years of the Kangxi reign (1687-1689). According to research by Lu Chenglong, 'Jianwei zhizhu - You xin faxian de yi xiao kuai cipian tan Kangxi qinghua wanshou zun' (Recognising the Whole from one Small Part: New Discoveries from a Kangxi Blue and White Ten Thousand Shou Character Zun Vase) in Gugong bowuyuan yuankan, no.6, 2002, pp.114-123, which shows a blue and white brushpot signed by Yu Gonzi; Lu argues tenuously that Yu Gongzi possibly inscribed the calligraphy for the Shou character zun vases. See a blue and white brushpot with the 'Ode to Red Cliff', Wenzhang shandou mark, signed by Gong Yuzi, illustrated in Qing Shunzhi Kangxi chao qinghua ci, Beijing, 2005, no.213. Another blue and white brushpot signed by Gong Yuzi, decorated with Shou characters, is in a private collection in Beijing an...
