A RARE AND IMPORTANT ARCHAIC BRONZE SNAKE LAMP, WARRING STATES/EARLY WESTERN HAN DYNASTY, the sinuous snake gliding effortlessly up, his body bending six times as his wide jaws engulf one side of the three-lobed channelled oil tray with three prickets, all counterbalanced perfectly by his lower body loosely and naturalistically coiled along the ground forming the base, his lightly cast 'D' shaped scales expanding at the apex of the bend and shrinking on the opposite side, the overall surface covered in a green patina with light patches of malachite and cuprite encrustation. 52cm highProvenance:Sotheby's New York, March 31 - April 1, 2005, Lot 162 Gallery J J Lally, New York Note:Cast in the form of a snake, the simple design of this lamp suggests that it may have been influenced by the art of the Chu State. Snake form lamps are exceptionally rare; one other known example is a Zhou dynasty bronze ornament in the shape of a coiled snake in the Musee Guimet, Paris and illustrated in Alain Thote's 'Aspects of the Serpent on Eastern Zhou Bronzes and Lacquerware', Colloquies on Art and Archaeolgoy in Asian, no 15: The Problem and Meaning in Early Chinese Ritual Bronzes, London 1990, p152, pl 3. Far more common for the Han Dynasty were goose foot lamps; examples of which can be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and Shanghai Museum, China. Here, the body of the snake bends six times as it winds upwards, its jaws engulfing one side of the three-lobed channelled oil tray, whilst its tail coils at the base in perfect counterbalance. The body has lightly cast 'D' shaped scales; the surface covered in a green patina with patches of malachite and cuprite encrustation. The Bronze Age of China began in 1700 BC and declined after the Han Dynasty (206BC - 220AD). During the Han Dynasty lamps became the main source of lighting and an important household item. Lamps also provided light for the soul's path to the afterlife and most lamps in existence today have been excavated from tombs. The dating of this lot is consistent with the results of the thermoluminescence test, Oxford Authentication, Ltd, no. C204c75.
Y A Victorian brass inlaid rosewood two-day marine chronometerHennessy, Swansea, circa 1875The four pillar full-plate single chain fusee movement with spotted plates, Harrison's maintaining power and Earnshaw type spring detent escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance with circular timing weights and helical balance spring, the frontplate stamped with serial number 1375, the 4 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with gold spade steel hands, subsidiary seconds engraved with an anchor, power reserve dial, and inscribed HENNESSY, Maker to the Admiralty, SWANSEA, No. 1375 to centre, set in a lacquered brass bowl with screw-down bezel mounted within pivoted gimbals with locking screw, the rosewood three-tier case with brass shield nameplate engraved J.O.D.

Bernard Hennessey is recorded in Peate, Iowerth C. CLOCK AND WATCH MAKERS IN WALES as working from 5 Wind Street, Swansea 1841-75. He was a noted Nautical Instrument-maker, specialising in chronometers and marine barometers, including sympiesometers. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible alteration or obvious replacements. There are a few spots of discolouration to the brass hence a gentle clean and service may be advisable. The dial has overall light patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the silvering otherwise appears to be in fine condition. The brass bowl and gimbal assembly appears all-original and has old dark bronze coloured lacquer finish which is now fairly heavily worn. The silvered canted insert to the glazed bezel also has some discolouration/degradation where it meets the glass. The case appears to be in sound original condition. The leading edge of the top has been repaired by inserting a new quarter-round profile along the full width; the adjacent (ie. outer) brass strings are consequently missing from the leading edge of the top and front. There is also a small loss of stringing to the left corner front of the top tier otherwise all brass inlay appears to be intact and with minimal lifting. Faults to the case are otherwise generally very much limited to minor shrinkage, bumps, scuffs and wear commensurate with age and use with the finish having and overall slightly faded appearance.Instrument retains its original tipsy winder but has no case key.
