Full title: A Chinese famille rose 'Xi Xiang Ji' plate depicting Zhang Junrui leaving for the capital, YongzhengDescription:Dia.: 22,5 cm Ref.: Tutuhaoyi, where Dr Yibin Ni writes: Young scholar Zhang Junrui (å¼ å›ç‘ž, also called Zhang Sheng å¼ ç”Ÿ) is the male protagonist in the famous ancient Chinese play, Romance of the Western Chamber (西厢记 Xixiang ji, alternative translation is The Story of the Western Wing). He was commonly referred to as Scholar Zhang. The son of a cabinet minister of the court, he suffered the tragedy of losing both parents. This left him with only his sword and his books for solace and entertainment. Thus, he decided to sit for civil-service examinations. In Episode 2 of the play, he set off on horseback to the capital with his pageboy. The scene (in fig. 17 and 19) depicts the moment when they approached the district of Pudong on the west bank of the Yellow River, in the territory of the Hezhong Prefecture (å¼ ç”Ÿè‡³è’²ä¸œ). (link)

A GEORGE II MAHOGANY BUREAU BOOKCASEBY JOHN FRANKLIN, CIRCA 1750The fall opening to an arrangement of pigeon holes and drawers around a central cupboard door, the printed label titled 'John Franklin, Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer, the Sign of the Chair in Bell Court, Doctor's Common, London, Makes and Sells all Sorts of Chairs, Cabinets...'.205cm high, 95cm wide, 52cm deepA John Franklin is listed in 1803 as a subscriber to Thomas Sheraton's "Cabinet Dictionary", Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, ed. by G. Beard and C. Gilbert, 1986, Leeds, p. 319. Considering the dates however, it is unlikely that this is actually the same individual responsible for the offered lot, which is dated circa 1750. It seems more likely that the John Franklin who made the present bureau bookcase is the one documented as working in the capacity of a 'turner' in 1730, in Upton, Buckinghamshire. It is then certainly conceivable that the latter moved to London after an initial period as a 'turner' to become a cabinet maker.(bifmo.history.ac.uk)Condition Report: Bookcase with the marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Old chips and splits. The putty to the inside of the glazed doors varies to some panes suggesting these are old replacements. All glass has good age and 'wave'. Interior of the fall front is well used. It has various dents, abrasions, and dark marks - see images. Small sections of inset timber around one of the fall hinges. Escutcheons and handles to lopers are old replacements. The locks and the handles to the drawers appear to be possibly original. There are keys present and operate all locks. Some of the locks are 'sticky'. Later blocks to the backs of the feet. One rear foot with repairs - see images. Some old moulding repairs. Some splits to bottoms of drawers. Minor evidence of old worm. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
