A Chinese mother-of-pearl-inlaid 'Scholars' box and coverQing dynasty, Kangxi Period, Qianli markFinely decorated to the cover with a scene of a scholar at a desk within a fenced terrace, beside a seated lady, the interior of the cover with two-character seal mark within a square, the box left plain, 9.1cm diam.Provenance: Collection Heliot Fils, Paris. (label)清康熙 黑漆鏍鈿高士圖香盒，鏍鈿「千里」款來源：Heliot Fils 收藏，巴黎。（標籤）A native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, Jiang Qianli was a craftsman specialising in inlaid lacquer whose dates of birth and death are unknown; traditionally, he was thought to have been active in the late Ming period, but recent scholarship now veers towards a Kangxi date instead. Certainly, by 1700 his works appear to have been renowned amongst scholars, to the point that Wang Shizhen (1634-1711) in Chibei outan [Random Chats North of the Lake] notes that "those that are particularly good at one art form in recent times include such people as Pu Zhongqian for bamboo carving and Jiang Qianli for pearl inlay…".He was known for the delicate and detailed workmanship, as well as the interest in the exploration of the varied textures and colours of the mother of pearl, that can be seen in the present lot. The popularity of his works are seen in a saying that circulated during his lifetime: Every home has a cup and a plate from Jiang Qianli.Cf. a similar box sold by Sotheby's, New York, 18 March 2017, lot 1434; circular dishes with Qianli mark and similar decoration of scholars were also sold by Sotheby's, Hong Kong, on 2 June 2016, lots 36 and 37 respectively. A rectangular box and cover by him, but with decoration of dragons and a poem, is even in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, https://en.dpm.org.cn/collections/collections/2019-06-24/5728.html.Condition Report: 品項報告 A few nicks and small losses to the edges; some minute losses to inlay. A couple of cracks and associated chips to the edge of the cover. A fine crack to the interior of the cover which does not appear to go through. Some expected surface wear consistent with age and type.

A RARE FAMILLE ROSE DUTCH ARMORIAL 'VOC' TEAPOT, COVER AND STANDDated by inscription to 1728The pear-shaped teapot finely enamelled on either side with the arms of the Dutch Republic flanked by crowned lions and the 'VOC' monogram beneath, decorated in red, pink, green, yellow and black enamels, applied with a C-shaped handle and straight spout, beneath the mouth rim with the inscription 'CRESCUNT.1728.CONCORDIA', the domed cover similarly decorated with two 'VOC' monograms, surmounted by a lotus-bud finial, the flat stand with rising sides and foliate rim, similarly decorated with the arms of the States General of the Dutch Republic above the VOC monogram, surrounded by the inscription 'CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT 1728'. The teapot: 14.5cm (5 3/4in) long; the stand: 13.5cm (5 1/3in) wide (3).Footnotes:The Property of a LadyProvenance: a Western private collection, and thence by descentThe arms and motto on the present lot belong to the Dutch Republic. The letters 'VOC' are the cypher of the 'Verenigde Oost Indische Compagnie', the Dutch East India Company. The design has been accurately copied from one side of a silver coin, issued by the Company in 1728 for use in the Far East. Even the ribbed milling of the coin is imitated in the rim of the saucer and the mouth rim of the teapot and cover. The tea service to which this cup and saucer belonged was arguably commissioned by the Company to commemorate the successful launch of its new coinage and may possibly have been used by its employees at the Company's different official bases throughout the Far East. Other pieces from this service include cups and saucers in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (acc.no.645 and a-1907), in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Netherlands, and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; a plate in the Mottahedeh collection (Howard and Ayers, 1978, vol.I, pl. 191); a plate, teapot, cup and saucer at the Musees Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire, Brussels, Belgium (Jorg, 1989, no.36); a teapot without lid in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands (Lunsingh Scheurleer, 1974, no.267), and a teapot in the Africana Museum, Johannesburg, South Africa (Woodward, 1974, pl.Al). (Op. Cit. The British Museum, Franks.979)See also a related cup and saucer of this design which was sold at Christie's, New York, 24 January 2012, lot 105, from the Peter H.B.Frellinghuysen Jr. Collection of Chinese Export Porcelain.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
