A RARE CHINESE IMPERIAL ‘HEHE ERXIAN’ TROMPE L’OEIL INCENSE DISHSIX CHARACTER JIAQING MARK AND OF THE PERIOD 1796-1820Painted in yangcai enamels, the twin Gods of Harmony and Unity stand holding a slightly open box, they wear blue and iron-red robes and have Liu Hai’s three-legged toad climbing up their backs. The dish is enamelled turquoise and is applied with eight auspicious Daoist emblems including silver and gold ingots, gold, yellow and red coins, a horn and a branch of red coral, all within a square scroll pink border, 12cm.Provenance: the collection of Miss Elizabeth Augusta Grosvenor Guest (1879-1960), grand-daughter of Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster (1795-1869), and grand-daughter of Lady Charlotte Guest (later Schreiber, 1812-95).The Hehe Erxian were believed to preside over happy marriages and are derived from two famous poet-monks of the Tang dynasty, Hanshan and Shide. The Imperial Workshop Records, (Huoji dang), note that in the forty-fifth year of Qianlong (1781), eighty incense dishes with the same trompe l’oeil designs were sent to the Imperial court from Jiujiang guan as tributes, half with a yellow ground and half with turquoise ground. Two examples are held by The National Palace Museum Collection in Taipei also set with ingots, coins and coral but one with a spotty horse to the centre on a yellow ground, the other with an elephant on a turquoise ground. Cf. Chih-en Chen, Fooling the eye: trompe l’oeil porcelain in High Qing China, figs.11 and 12, where the above dishes are illustrated. The present dish has an iron red Jiaqing mark so cannot be one of the forty turquoise ground dishes of 1781, but may be either part of a later order, or a replacement to the Qianlong dishes.See also Daguerre, 25th September 2020, lot 59, for a damaged example of the Qianlong prototype. The standing figures set in the centre of this dish also relate to figural snuff bottles with similar modelling and treatment of the robes. Cf. Hugh Moss, Victor Graham and Ka Bo Tsang, a Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, The Mary and George Bloch Collection, vol.6, nos.1226, 1227 and 1228.

Paire de candélabres d'époque Louis XV, en porcelaine de Chine d'époque Qianlong (1736-1796) à motifs d'échassiers, à trois bras de lumière, ornementation de bronze doré, milieu du XVIIIe siècleA pair of Louis XV ormolu-mounted and Chinese Qianlong (1736-1796) porcelain wader birds three-branch candelabra, mid-18th centuryEach échassier resting on a naturalistic oval shaped blue decorated base issuing floral sprays and a trunk, surrounded by a branch-like berried foliate border issuing three scrolling branches with further conforming leaves and fruited berries, terminating in engraved foliate-shaped nozzles and drip-pans, 35cm wide, 19cm deep, 41cm high (13 1/2in wide, 7in deep, 16in high). Footnotes:Provenance:Collection of the Late Arnold Seligmann, sold Paris, 4-5 June 1935, lot 117;Collection P. et M. Jonas. With Gismondi, Paris, sold in February 1999 and thence by descent to the present ownerThe fashion for embellishing exotic and expensive Chinese porcelain into objets de luxe with the addition of rich ormolu mounts, reached its peak in the mid-18th century through the activities of the marchands-merciers such as Lazare Duvaux or Simon-Philippe Poirier. The Livre-Journal of Lazare Duvaux for 1751 notes that Madame de Pompadour paid the extraordinary sum of 1,680 livres for a pair of ormolu-mounted celadon ewers. The detail with which such rich objects were described in contemporary sale catalogues during the second half of the 18th century, in contrast to the more generalised descriptions of unmounted Chinese porcelain found in earlier inventories, demonstrates the importance of these objects.Arnold SeligmannFrom the collection of the famous art and antiquities dealer Arnold Seligmann (1871-1935). The gallery Jacques Seligmann & Co. moved from Rue de Sommerand to Place Vendôme and Arnold's two brothers, Jacques and Simon joined the business as partners. The celebrated gallerists went through a very favourable period at the beginning of the 20th century and the gallery was expanding its clientele among the most important art collectors of the time such as Edmond James de Rothschild, the Stroganov family, Benjamin Altman, William Randolph Hearst and J.P. Morgan. However, in 1912, a family quarrel resulted in a lawsuit that split the company. Arnold Seligmann remained the sole owner of the gallery in Place Vendôme which was then renamed Arnold Seligmann & Cie.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Removed from the room where it had been since the 18th century, each strip was cleaned and transposed onto a wooden frame. Having a chinoiserie in your home was a sign of good taste and perfection; it could be painted on woodwork, silk or paper. It was the middle of the 18th century, and trade with China and Europe was very strong, with pieces being made especially for the European market. The trading posts and the Compagnie des Indes transported these coveted works of art, including porcelain, lacquer panels and silk, to the Netherlands, England and France. Although the French sovereigns, the natural protectors of French manufactures, artists and craftsmen, could not openly display their taste for China in the state flats of Versailles, many Chinese or Chinese-style works were displayed in their 'appartements intérieurs' or in their favourite country residences. Louis XV, for example, filled the Château de Choisy, refurbished for him by Gabriel from 1740 onwards, with furniture in Far Eastern lacquer or decorated with varnish, as well as Chinese porcelain, fabrics and wallpaper.France and Holland sent painted scrolls all over Europe to meet demand; we know, for example, that Louise-Elisabeth, daughter of Louis XV and wife of the Duke of Parma, wanted to create Chinese-style rooms at the Reggia in Colorno, so she travelled to Paris three times to acquire Chinese wallpaper and bring it back to Colorno, along with many other items and gifts from her father. These still look good today, although they have been stripped of the objects that accompanied them in Colorno's Chinese room, which ended up in the various Savoy residences between Piedmont and Rome after Italian Unity. What's more, these wallpapers were often reworked to suit European tastes, paving the way for local imitations all over Europe.Commenting on the breakfasts given by Madame de Montaigu, Madame du Bocage wrote that it was very pleasant to invite one's neighbours and friends to a room lined with Peking paper and furnished with Chinese objects.For further reading on the subject see: Emile de Bruijn, Chinese Wallpaper in Britain and Ireland (2018).Madeleine Jarry, Chinoiserie Le rayonnement du goût chinois sur les arts décoratifs des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (1981)Dawn Jaconson, Chinoiserie (1993)This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: WW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A PAIR OF FINE AND RARE CHINESE IMPERIAL WHITE JADE BOWLS FOUR-CHARACTER JIAQING MARKS AND OF THE PERIOD 1796-1820 Each with an elegant U-shaped body gently flaring at the rim, raised on short spread feet, with the reign marks incised to the bases in clerical script, lishu, the stone of an even white tone and with a good polish, 12.4cm dia. (2) Provenance: formerly the Cottreau Collection, sold at Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, on 29th April 1910, lot 119; and then the Lawrence Collection of jades and hardstone carvings, purchased from Roger Keverne Ltd on 25th October 2009. A copy of the invoice is available. Published: R Keverne, Winter Exhibition 2009, pp.122-123, no.105. Both their perfect form and the quality of the stone from which they are carved make these bowls exceedingly rare. The few known comparable examples occasionally bear Qianlong reign marks, but they are more often unmarked. In Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, Jessica Rawson illustrates a pair of similar unmarked bowls, p.400, no.29:13. Here, it is noted that "Undecorated jade vessels in porcelain shapes, as here, probably represented the highest quality of eating and drinking vessels. Both the sumptuary laws, which restricted the use of jade vessels, and passages in novels that mention the use of jade cups and bowls for eating and drinking, make it evident that jade was highly valued and used for these purposes." Cf. F Dunand, The Baur Collection Geneva, p.43, B38 for one of a pair of similar Qianlong mark and period bowls; see also J Rawson & J Ayers, Chinese Jade Throughout the Ages, no.436 and B Yang, A Romance with Jade: From the De An Tang Collection, p.178, no.115 for further Qianlong mark and period examples; for other comparable bowls without reign marks, see also J C Y Watt, Chinese Jades from Han to Ch'ing, p.178, no.152 and B Yang, A Romance with Jade: From the De An Tang Collection, p.176, no.113 and p.179, no.116.清嘉慶 御製白玉雕素身碗 一對《嘉慶年製》款來源:Cottreau舊藏,購於巴黎Galerie Georges Petit1910年4月29日·編號119,勞倫斯珍藏玉石,2009年10月25日購於Roger Keverne古董商(附發票複印件)。出版:R Keverne, Winter Exhibition 2009, 頁122-123, 編號105.

A PAIR OF CHINESE WHITE JADEITE 'BAJIXIANG' BOWLS AND COVERS 19TH CENTURY The U-shaped vessels gently flaring at the rims, each decorated in low relief with the Eight Daoist Emblems to the bowl and cover, the precious objects tied with ribbons, with finely incised bands of key fret bordering the edges, each raised on a short circular foot, the thinly-worked jade of a translucent icy-white tone, with a few minor apple-green and russet flecks in the stone, 11.2cm dia. (4) Provenance: formerly the collection of Hugh S Whitaker; and then the Lawrence Collection of jades and hardstone carvings, purchased from Spink & Son prior to 1959. Exhibited: Burlington Fine Arts Club, 1915, case no.2, illustrated pl.30. Published: E Gorer & J F Blacker, Chinese Porcelain and Hardstones, London, 1911, vol.2, pl.244; also Burlington Fine Arts Club, 1915, case no.2, illustrated pl.30. Whitaker was a collector of Oriental art in the early 20th century, and many items from his collection are now in major western museums, including the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Whitaker is recorded in the Sparks' ledger books between 1914 and 1938 as a buyer. The Bajixiang, or Eight Daoist Emblems, are the attributes of the Eight Daoist Immortals. They consist of the sword of Lu Dongbin, the fan of Zhong Liquan, the flower basket of Lan Caihe, the lotus of He Xiangu, the flute of Han Xiangzi, the gourd of Li Tieguai, the castanets of Cao Guojiu, and the drum of Zhang Guolao. They represent difficult conditions in life: poverty, wealth, aristocracy, plebeianism, age, youth, masculinity and femininity. The eight Daoist emblems should not be confused with the eight Buddhist emblems. Although the Qing emperors were not enthusiastic Daoists, the practise of Daoism was popular in society. The Yongzheng Emperor to a degree encouraged the belief in immortality and the practice of some Daoist rituals. Cf. Pearl of the Orient: Treasures of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, p.104, no.131 for a pair of similar bowls decorated with dragons and phoenix; see also Catalogue of a Special Exhibition of Hindustan Jade in the National Palace Museum, pp.276-277, pl.75 for another comparable pair; see also J R Finlay, The Chinese Collection: Selected Works from the Norton Museum of Art, pp.244-245, no.108 for another related bowl. 十九世紀 翡翠雕八吉祥紋蓋碗 一對來源:Hugh S Whitaker舊藏,勞倫斯珍藏玉石,1959年前購於Spink & Son。展出:伯靈頓藝術俱樂部,1915年,展櫃編號2,圖30。
