In 1924 he was appointed Civil Lord of the Admiralty under Stanley Baldwin, a post he held until the Conservatives lost power in 1929. The latter year he was also sworn of the Privy Council.

Lot 217
A beautiful looking original unrestored 1985 UK Quad film poster for Terry Gilliam's masterpiece "Brazil". One of the best from the 1980's, this design is hard to find as it was withdrawn (an unbelievable decision by the Studio) to be replaced by a man, dressed in pyjamas on a flying bed. The 'dream cabinet' imagery on this poster is a combination of imagery from the flying sequences and a deleted scene that was only ever storyboarded by Gilliam in which a dreaming Sam finds himself at a vast wall of filing cabinets. The title treatment "Brazil" is taken directly from the opening title of the film, which is a neon signage that falls away from the camera to the accompaniment of Michael Kamen's excellent score.30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)Condition: Very Good to ExcellentUnrestored, folded (as issued)Artist: Unknown Artist£300 - 500VAT Status: M

A pair of very rare imperial gilt-lacquer and mother-of-pearl-inlaid display cabinetsYongzheng/Qianlong One cabinet with nine variously proportioned and positioned open compartments, the other with eight compartments, all framed within black and gold lacquer friezes superbly embellished with mother-of-pearl inlays with an elaborate decoration of lotus flowerheads amidst dense foliage, the interior coated with dark green lacquer, meticulously enriched with lotus blossoms borne on meandering foliate scrolls, all raised on four legs linked by a lower frieze. Each 168.1cm (66 1/4in) high x 70.1cm (27 5/8in) wide x 32.2cm (12 3/4in) deep.

It is likely that the present lot was acquired during his service in China. His elder brother Prince Scipione Borghese (1871-1927), 10th Prince of Sulmona, was famous for winning the 'Peking to Paris' car race in 1907.The present pair of cabinets belongs to an exclusive group of lacquer furniture manufactured for Imperial consumption, decorated in the virtuoso technique of mother-of-pearl inlay, with the incorporation of gold and silver foil. While the use of the mother-of-pearl inlay on lacquer, employed throughout the Ming dynasty, became very popular during the Kangxi period, the gilt decoration on lacquer became more prevalent from the Yongzheng period. The spectacular visual effect, resulting from the combination of the brilliant gilding and the endless shades of pink, purple and green iridescences, reveals the exceptional dexterity of the imperial craftsmen. Compare the scrolling floral borders, executed in gilding and mother-of-pearl inlays, decorating an imperial black-lacquer throne and matching screen, both dated to the third quarter of the 17th century, from the Museum of Asian Art, Berlin, illustrated in Im Zeichen Des Drachen, Stuttgart, 2007, pp.202-204.Openwork display cabinets, known as duobaoge or 'curio cabinet of many treasures', developed and reached the height of popularity during the 18th century gracing the Imperial halls. The carefully designed asymmetrical and irregular compartments are characteristic of the duobaoge developed in the early Qing period. Such cabinets would have been used to display precious objects including ceramics, jade carvings, cloisonné enamel and archaic and later bronzes.A related double-pair of mother-of-pearl-inlaid red and green lacquer cabinets, mid Qing dynasty, from the Qing Court Collection, is in the Chuxiugong 'Hall of Gathered Elegance' in the Forbidden City. Each cabinet is placed side by side with another to make a pair, and each pair is placed in a different part of the Imperial hall. The present lot of one such pair of cabinets would almost certainly have formed part of the same suite of display cabinets; see Classics of the Forbidden City: Inlaid Furniture, Beijing, 2013, pl.24 (showing one such pair of cabinets); and Ming Qing Gongting Jia Zhu Da Guan, vol.II, Beijing, 2006, pp.696-697, pls.798-1 and 798-4 (showing the double pairs of cabinets in the Chuxiugong).Compare to a related pair of Imperial mother-of-pearl-inlaid red and gilt-green lacquer cabinets, Mid Qing dynasty, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 29 May 2018, lot 32.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A magnificent gilt-lacquered zitan-veneered display cabinetQing DynastyThe cabinet of elegant proportions with the top section divided into open compartments of various form, sizes and heights, framed by friezes carved with reticulated designs depicting clusters of vaporous ruyi clouds, joined by a vertical pillar in the form of a writhing scaly dragon, all above a pair of double-door cabinets intricately carved in relief on each door with a mountainous landscape and figures, surmounted by a pair of single drawers and three compartments decorated with floral motifs and antiques, the sides decorated with further floral motifs, the interior lacquered black and gilt-decorated with a landscape, metal hinges and lock plates, standing on four straight feet. 194cm (76 1/2in) high x 43cm (17in) deep x 94cm (37in) wide.Footnotes:清 嵌紫檀博古紋描金繪山水人物圖多寶格Provenance: Dilys Mary Eaton and thence by descent來源：Dilys Mary Eaton夫人舊藏，並由後人保存迄今It is possible that the present cabinet may be the pair to an identical zitan and hardwood cabinet, 18th/19th century, which was sold at Christie's South Kensington, 2013, 11 May 2016, lot 369. Also compare with a related zitan and hardwood cabinet, 18th century, which was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2007, lot 1398.Duobao ge 多寶格 (literally meaning 'multiple treasure cabinets') began in the early Qing dynasty and may have evolved from the mid Ming period Liang'ge gui cabinets. Qing dynasty palace archives typically identify these types of cabinets 'bogu shuge' (literally meaning 'extensive antique and book cabinets'), because the upper section was used to display antiques, whilst the lower section was used to store books and scrolls. The Imperial Household Department archives frequently mention the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors discussing the design of these type of zitan cabinets. Both the Kangxi and Yongzheng emperors greatly admired Japanese lacquer, and many pieces from the latter's reign are lacquered and decorated showing strong Japanese influence. Compare with two similar zitan display cabinets in the Qing Court Collection, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, vol.2, Beijing, 2002, p.254, no.216 and p.269, no. 28.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A large hongmu 'dragon' four leaf screenLate Qing DynastyThe four leaves arranged in a symmetrical fashion, similarly carved with each rectangular section depicting a sinuous dragon striding amidst vaporous clouds, the central panel set between three reticulated panels intricately decorated with interlocking designs of trialling clouds, the creating with further striding dragons riding the clouds, embellished with a mother-of-pearl floral inlay. Each panel 221cm (87in) high x 50cm (19 6/8in) wide (4).Footnotes:清晚期 紅木雕雲龍紋四開屏風Meticulously carved with sinuous dragons writhing amidst trialling clouds, the present screen conveys a sense of three-dimensionality and movement, making the dragons appear as if they are about to leap out of the densely floating clouds and away from the composition. The skilful workmanship has been inspired by the exceptional production of furniture manufactured for Imperial use during the celebrated Qianlong reign, which fully reflected the emperor's artistic taste and created a legacy of immense splendour. See for example, a zitan cabinet, 18th century, decorated with dynamic dragons against a dense landscape of swirling clouds, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum. Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, vol.2, Hong Kong, 2002, p.296, no.249. The designs carved on the screen underscore several layers of auspicious symbolism related to Imperial and religious might and good life. Dragons emerged in early China as totems for ancestral worship, however, they were also deemed to control rain and clouds, ensure prosperity and material abundance and be associated with Imperial might. Dragons also symbolised virtue and good fortune. According to the Xiaojing Shoushenqi, compiled during the Han dynasty, 'Where virtue dwells and water pools, the Yellow Dragon manifests itself – a sign of the ruler.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
