A CHINESE BRONZE KNIFE COIN, of gently angled form with a curved end and ring handle, the upper surface with nine archaic characters, the handle with two horizontal lines, probably Warring States, 7.25"" long.

For a comparable six-character example, see Wang Yu-Chuan `Early Chinese Coinage`, 1951, plate 29.

TWO SIMILAR CHINESE BRONZE MIRRORS, each with a central square motif within a stylised scroll surround and geometric lappette border, probably Han, 3.75"" diameter(2) Provenance: The Collection of Dr. Julian Deveron Redmill (1916-1993), and thence by descent.

Provenance: The Collection of Dr. Julian Deveron Redmill (1916-1993), and thence by descent. Probably acquired on the London Art Market in the 1950`s.
A FINE CHINESE SILVERED-BRONZE MIRROR, of gently concave form with an angled rim, the centre decorated with a central band of two opposing figures with further figures above and below, within an inner border with alternating lunettes and characters, and a dragon-scroll outer border, probably Tang, 5.5"" diameter. Provenance: The Collection of Dr. Julian Deveron Redmill (1916-1993), and thence by descent. Probably acquired on the London Art Market in the 1950`s.
TWO CHINESE BRONZE MIRRORS, the larger example with an inward-facing lunette centre, within a stylised character border and two-character mark, probably Ming, 4.25"" diameter; the other with relief decoration, Han or later, 3.5"" diameter (2).
