C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring'. 1918. Listed as 'Seven plaques of Chinese cloisonne enamel, variously decorated and mounted as the tops of gilt tables, £35.0.0.' Charles Davis, A Description of the Works of Art Forming the Collection of Alfred de Rothschild, 1884, p.236, no.266, listed as 'A pair of small tables of carved and gilt wood, each with three legs, the tops are inlaid with a square turquoise plaque of Chinese cloisonne enamel.' Catalogue Note In Buddhism, the 'arhats', or 'luohan' in Chinese Buddhism, are seen as the original followers of Gautama Buddha, or arhat. They have reached the state of Nirvana, they are now free of all worldly cravings and their role is to protect Buddhism until the arrival of Maitreya, an enlightened Buddha predicted to appear on Earth many centuries in the future. In the earliest Indian depictions only four disciples were shown but over time this number rose to sixteen and by the Tang or Five Dynasty periods in China there were eighteen, a tradition that continues into modern Chinese Buddhism. The symbolism of the two plaques included in this lot show a luohan welcoming the Mother of the West and the other shows four demons carrying a luohan over the Bitter Sea.

VAJRAMUDGARA (MARTEAU RITUEL) EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉCHINE, XVIIE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4641 30.9 cm (12 1/8 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY VAJRAMUDGARA (RITUAL HAMMER)CHINA, 17TH CENTURY中國 十七世紀 銅鎏金金剛鎚 Published:Arman Neven, Le tantrisme dans l'art et la pensee, 1974, p. 69, no. 321Exhibited:Le tantrisme dans l'art et la pensee, Palais de Beaux-Arts, Bruxelles, 7 March - 10 April 1974.Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sThe vajramudgara, or adamantine hammer, is one of several indestructible armaments wielded by meditational deities such as Vajrabhairava and Kalachakra. In esoteric Buddhist practice, the hammer demarcates the sacred boundaries of a mandala during the preparatory stages of its ritual creation, either by driving triple-edged stakes (phurbas) into the ground or striking down hostile forces. Each decisive blow is a reflection of the practitioner's wisdom, tempered so as to glance off ignorance and delusion. Splendid, with rich gilding and brightly-colored inset stones, this ornate ritual implement likely derives from the famed ironwork foundries in Derge, East Tibet as commissioned by the Chinese imperial court between the 16th and 17th centuries. On the one hand, the present work stylistically connects with ritual objects made of damascened iron, such as a Yongle vajra-axe in the Cleveland Museum of Art (1978.9.1) and a brazier in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (1992.257.2) in its application of ring-punched decorations, vajra enclosures, and octagonal segments. On the other hand, closer inspection of the vine-encircling flowers, double vajra (visvavajra), and fork-tailed ruyi clouds on the neck and face of the hammer reveal identifiable motifs from the Late Ming period, such as nearly identical cloud forms decorating a cinnabar lacquer box dated 1589 to the Wanli period, in the Tokyo National Museum (Carved Lacquer, 1984, p. 139, no. 196). These aforementioned decorations are not only found on Chinese lacquer, but also appear on 16th/17th century textiles, paintings, porcelain, and cloisonné, including a Ming cloisonné bowl with floral scroll decorations in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (29.110.88) and a 16th-century dish incised with a double vajra, published in Brinker, Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, 1989, no. 73a. Furthermore, the use of inset coral and incised lines to enhance each flower petal bears worthwhile comparison to a Tibetan gold mandala gifted to the Shunzhi emperor in 1652 (Precious Deposits: Relics from Tibet, China vol. 4, pp. 14-5, no. 4), suggesting that the hammer coincides with the period of artistic transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

(2)Expert's note: Vases such as the present lot have their origins in the archaic ritual vessel called Hu, but in their size and slightly exaggerated form they predominantly served to proclaim the advanced skills and sophisticated techniques of mid-Qing Dynasty porcelain manufacture. The lotus scroll also has its distant origins dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, but by the Qianlong period it had become the very formal, evenly-spaced pattern with its self-conscious echo of a past long bygone. It is this very structure, however, that helps today's scholars to establish a precise dating for any vase from this group: The more dense the lotus pattern is, the later the piece. The present lot, however, is a bit of a riddle, as its lotus scrolls reside more or less exactly between the sparse, almost frugal 'Ming Style' patterns from the early Qianlong period and the dense, almost cluttered scrolls from the late Qing and Minguo periods. Same goes for the rich cobalt-blue tones: Not quite as brilliant and intensive as in the early Qianlong era, but also by far not as dull and feeble as in later times. For these reasons, it is this author's belief that the present lot is either from the second half of the Qianlong period, or from the first half of the 19th century.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related blue and white hu, with a Qianlong six-character seal mark and of the period, sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 24 September 1987, lot 74, offered again at Christie's Hong Kong, 26 April 2004, lot 1065.

'HEART SUTRA', BY PU RU (1896-1963)China. Ink on paper, with a red silk brocade frame and mounted as a hanging scroll. Calligraphy written in regular script with the heart sutra (Xinjing), signed and with two seals, the paper with gold flakes.Inscriptions: Lower left signed, 'by Xishan yishi Pu Ru', two seals, 'Pu Ru zhiyin' and 'Xinshe'Provenance: British trade. Condition: Good condition with some wear, discoloration of the paper due to bleeding of the silk frame, the frame with tears, creases, and minor material loss.Dimensions: Image size 66.1 x 31.9 cm, Size incl. mounting 175.4 x 43.3 cmThe Heart Sutra, propagating total denial of the reality of the phenomenal world, is one of the most important Mahayana texts and became a popular script for copying, probably partly due to its brevity. Copying of the sutra, such as seen in the present lot, had the dual function of serving as a calligraphic exercise and representing an act of devotion.Pu Ru (1896-1963), also known as Pu Xinshe, was a traditional Chinese painter, calligrapher, and nobleman. A member of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan, the ruling house of the Qing dynasty, he was a cousin to Puyi, the last Emperor of China. It was speculated that Pu Ru would have succeeded to the Chinese throne if Puyi and the Qing government were not overthrown after the 1911 Xinhai Revolution. Pu Ru was reputed to be as talented as the famous southern artist Zhang Daqian. Together, they became known as 'Pu of the North and Zhang of the South'. Pu Ru fled to Taiwan after the Communist Party of China came to power and was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as a Manchu representative at the Constitutional National Assembly. In Taiwan, he made a living selling paintings and calligraphy, and taught as a professor of fine arts at the National Taiwan Normal University.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's New York, 23 March 2018, lot 1382Price: USD 31,250 or approx.
