An Indo-Portuguese mother-of-pearl dish Gujarat, 16th/ 17th Centuryof shallow rounded form on a short foot, constructed from pinned sections of mother-of-pearl forming a flowerhead within a central roundel with an outer band of radiating panels, brass bands to foot 20.5 cm. diam.Footnotes:ProvenanceBy repute (according to documents accompanying the dish) given by Anne Boleyn (c. 1501 – 19 May 1536), Queen of England (1533-1536), second wife of King Henry VIII to Sir John Brereton Kt; given by Miss Brereton of Brereton Hall, Cheshire to Henrietta E. Sharpe (who has collateral descent from Sir John Brereton).Acquired by a private collector from the Brereton family and thence acquired by Cameo Corner, Museum Street, Bloomsbury, London from the private collector, January – February 1940-1941.Acquired by William H. Goodenough at Cameo Corner, Museum Street, London on the 13th of June, 1941 (£18).Private UK collection.Given the western shape of these dishes, they were initially thought to be European by art historians in the 19th Century. Gujarati dishes of this design are known to have been imported to Europe from as early as the second quarter of the 16th Century, based on a documented example in the Green Vaults in Dresden. The commissioning of Gujarati mother-of-pearl wares is particularly associated with the Portuguese in India. In some cases, these dishes are known to have accompanied larger mother-of-pearl ewers, as illustrated by two examples presently in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (inv.no. 4282-1857 and 4283-1857). For a discussion on these garnitures of Gujarati mother-of-pearl articles, see A. Jaffer, Luxury Goods From India: the art of the Indian Cabinet-Maker, London : V&A, 2002, pp.38-39.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Vizagapatam engraved-ivory mounted sandalwood Bureau Cabinet South India, circa 1800in two parts, the lower element on four bracket feet with hinged fall front opening to reveal a fitted interior with seven drawers, three pigeon holes and two concealed upright compartments disguised as columns, a large drawer to the front fitted with lidded divisions and four glass bottles, the upper element of rectangular form with stepped cornice and four drawers to the front flanked by hinged doors, a larger drawer above, the doors opening to reveal three further drawers and four pigeon holes to each side, decorated in ivory veneer etched with borders of trailing flowers and foliage, each leg with a makara 87 x 62 x 37 cm. Footnotes:This is a miniature version of a full-sized English bureau-cabinet made with sandalwood and veneered with ivory, with etchings in lac. This miniature bureau-cabinet showcases the flourishing international port of 18th and 19th Century Vizagapatam and its deep involvement with the English and European markets. The small size of these furniture pieces made them easily transportable and therefore more marketable to the many travellers and traders passing through the busy port (Amin Jaffer, Luxury Goods from India: The Art of the Indian Cabinet-Maker, London 2002, p. 80). The components of the cabinet reference the English furniture industry, while the floral engravings reproduce the patterns on the textiles made in Vizagapatam for export to the European market (ibid.). The furniture piece itself is assembled by Vizagapatam's expert craftsmen out of high-quality luxury materials, thanks to the city's access to natural resources like ivory and different timbers.For a similar ivory-veneered miniature bureau-cabinet, see Jaffer, pp. 80-81, no. 33. The version published by Jaffer includes additional lac engravings of trees and architecture based on European print sources.This lot has been registered as exempt from the prohibition in the United Kingdom on dealing in ivory in accordance with the Ivory Act Section 2(2). Certificate reference no. HH57UDQB.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the UK, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
