Yuan Yunyi (袁韻宜) (1920-2004) - Chrysanthemums, Republic of China scroll painting dated 1944, ink on paper attached to fabric-covered wooden rollers, a loose translation of the script indicates that this was gifted by Army Lieutenant General Du Yuming of the Kunming Defense Command to a member of the British Embassy as a gesture of loyalty and commemorates the annual Double Ninth / Chong Yang Festival, bearing four seal stamps and inscription label verso, image dimensions 94 x 39.5cm, full dimensions 223 x 51cmNotes: Tu Xi-ming (Du Yuming) (1905-1981) was a Kuomintang field commander controlling Nationalist forces against the Communists and Japanese. He won several important battles, but was relieved of command in 1947 and later captured and held as a POW by the Communists for a decade. His successful ‘re-education’ led him to live out the rest of his life with a position as an official historian in the Communist Government until his death in 1981.Mr Martin ran the Kunming branch of the Press Attache’s office of the British Embassy in China. This ostensibly focused on translating pieces from the Chinese press involving economics and politics, but was also part of a wider Allied network collecting intelligence and organising supplies through the region.Yuan Yunyi was a female painter and playwright for the Peking Opera. She was the second wife of artist Pang Xunqin, founding member of the Storm Society who aimed to bring a Parisian-style art world to China, and published a biography of him in 1995. Mid-20th century China was in a state of flux. The end of monarchical rule in 1912 was followed by the establishment of the Republic of China. However the power struggles continued between Nationalists and Communists, which led to civil war, and were exacerbated by the Japanese invasion and World War II. The British and Americans worked alongside the Nationalist (KMT) government under Chiang Kai-shek against the Communists and Japanese.The Chong Yang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) takes place on the auspicious date of the 9th day of the 9th month. Celebrations involve drinking chrysanthemum liqueur and exhibiting chrysanthemums.Numerous creases but no tears.Some staining but largely only to borders.

Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Weaverham (Cheshire) circa 1795.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition having been well maintained by the vendor since purchase in the 1980's; however, a precautionary light clean/service is advised. The movement shows no evidence of alteration or significant replacements although some of the wheels within the trains may have been pinioned at some point in the past (a few collects vary very slightly from the others - only noticeable on very close examination as all collects are essentially of the same form). The movement therefore survives in good operational condition and entirely in its original form/specification. The dial is generally in very good condition however the lower left-hand corner of the plate has a section (triangular in shape approx. 2cm across) missing from the plate. This appears to be a break across a casting weakness however a good clock restorer should be able to let in a new piece of appropriate yellow brass without a great deal of difficulty. All the dial functions are connected and are operational; the moon disc has some slight wear/rubbing and some very slight historic re-touching otherwise is in fine original condition. The silvering is now a little tarnished with some spotting hence now has a slightly mellow appearance; the engraving is strong with minimal wear. The movement retains what appears to be its original seatboard which rests directly onto the cheek uprights of the case which appear essentially untouched. From this we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case.The case is generally in good original condition. The hood is missing two of the small scroll-shaped 'dentils' to the cornice and the verre-eglomise panels have either been repainted or are replacements. The hood otherwise is in fine condition although there are two vacant sockets for finials (no longer present) to the top. The trunk door retains its original lock and hinges, the lower margin has some shrinkage cracking but no apparent losses. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other blemishes commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with pendulum, three cast iron weights, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
