He married Julia Burke in 1949 and they moved to London. James started working for Iron and Steel Exporters and later that year, he was offered the chance to set up an office Hong Kong, so they moved there and set up home. The business was successful, they loved Hong Kong and they lived the life of ex-patriates to the full. They swam, played golf, made friends and indulged their passion for fast cars, competing in amateur road races. Julia claimed to have won at the first Macau Grand Prix. As well as enjoying the pastimes of the culture they brought with them, they developed an enduring love for China, Chinese people, Chinese food and Chinese art. With a growing family, they returned to England in 1957. They brought with them the pieces they had bought in Hong Kong and James made many trips to Hong Kong and continued to build their collection throughout the following decades mainly from dealers in London.來源：倫敦古董商William Clayton Ltd.，1977年10月24日James Basil Wilson與Julia Wilson伉儷舊藏，並由後人保存迄今James Basil Wilson二戰期間曾於廓爾喀軍團服役，1945年返回英國。 1949年與Julia Burke結婚，婚後搬至倫敦，並開始為Iron and Steel Exporters效力，同年被委任籌備香港辦事處，遂移居香港。事業發展蒸蒸日上的同時，Wilson伉儷也充分享受著外派人士的理想生活；游泳、打高爾夫、結交朋友，沉迷賽車運動甚至參加業餘車手街道賽，Julia聲稱曾完賽首屆澳門格蘭披治大賽車。在保留西方生活方式的同時，Wilson伉儷也對中國及其民眾、美食和藝術產生了長久的熱情。 1957年，隨著家庭的不斷壯大，Wilson一家回到英國，並帶回了其在香港購置的藝術品。此後，James多次前往香港，並在接下來的幾十年中持續造訪倫敦的古董商，擴充藏品。Inspired by the shape and decoration of archaic bronze food vessels of the Zhou dynasty, the present vessel is a fine example of the stylistic developments during the 18th century inspired by the wishes of the Qianlong emperor. Aiming to 'restore the ancient ways', the emperor wished to reinstate the intrinsic qualities of simplicity, sincerity and happy exuberance of ancient culture. For this purpose, the emperor instructed the Court to collect drawings of antiquities, such as the 'Catalogue of Xiqing Antiquities' (Xiqing gujian 西清古鑑), which served as sources of designs for the production of contemporary vessels.

A VERY RARE AND IMPORTANT CIVIL OFFICIAL'S RANK BADGE OF A CIRCULAR CRANE, BUZIKangxiMade for a First Rank civil official, the crane finely worked in white satin stitch alighting on a rock emerging from rolling waves interspersed with jewels, surrounded by ruyi clouds and the sun finely worked in satin stitch in shades of blue, green and coral raised silk threads, geometric patterns of couched gold thread, including the pitted rock and the border, all reserved on a dense ground of couched gold threads within a scroll border, mounted. 36cm (14 1/8in) high x 35cm (13 3/8in) wide.Footnotes:清康熙 金地彩繡一品文官仙鶴紋補子Provenance: Konantz-Benton-Minnich Collection, Minneapolis, MNMinnesota Museum of Art, Minneapolis, MNLinda Wrigglesworth, London, acquired in 1995Published and Illustrated: L.Wrigglwsworth, Making the Grade, London, 1946, p.42.來源：美國明尼蘇達州，Konantz-Benton-Minnich舊藏美國明尼蘇達州明尼阿波利斯，明尼蘇達藝術博物館舊藏倫敦Linda Wrigglesworth收藏，於1995年入藏出版著錄：L.Wrigglwsworth，《Making the Grade》，倫敦，1946年，頁42Boldly designed in brilliant colourful silk, making lavish use of couched-gold thread worked in a geometric pattern, the present badge is a rare example probably dating to the early to middle phase of the Kangxi reign and would have been made for a civil official of the first rank. The tendency of using circles for bird designs, as well as the lavish use of the gold with the gold outline around the major elements and the symmetrical positioning of the precious objects amidst the rolling waves appear to be features more typical of the early Kangxi period; see B.Jackson and D.Hugus, Ladder to the Clouds: Intrigue and Tradition in Chinese Rank, Berkeley CA, 1999, pp.224-226.The Manchurian crane was thought to live for over 200 years and stored its accumulated wisdom in its red 'cap'. This is probably why the emblem of this bird was used for the emperor's closest advisors. Badges decorated with different types of birds were reserved for use by the civil officials. The birds used as a rank insignia were based on real, rather than imaginary species. These creatures generally symbolised literary elegance and were thus a suitable creature to designate civil officials who had gained their position through examinations based on the classics of the Confucian canon; see L.Wrigglesworth and G.Dickinson, The Imperial Wardrobe, London, 1990, pp.121-122.Compare with a similar embroidered silk badge of a circular crane, early Qing dynasty, illustrated by L.Wrigglesworth, The Imperial Wardrobe, Berkeley, 200, p.121, pl.101. A nearly identical silk badge of a circular crane, Kangxi, illustrated by B.Jackson and D.Hugus, Ladder to the Clouds.

A RARE PAIR OF FAMILLE ROSE PLAQUESQianlong One delicately painted in bright enamels with the Three Star Gods, Fu Lu Shou, engaged in various pursuits within a fenced garden with pine trees, rockworks and rivers, the other with the Five Gods of the Wufang, Wu Lao, admiring a scroll painting of a Taiji diagram held by two attendants, all in front of a small waterfall set within a rocky landscape, all finely detailed in pink enamel with gilt details, the faces of each Immortal realistically rendered in fine detail with subtle shading, the central panel within a gilt border on a finely-engraved green sgraffiato ground. Each, 53cm (20 7/8in) high x 38cm (15in) wide. (2).Footnotes:清乾隆 粉彩仙人獻壽圖瓷板掛屏一對The 'Five Gods of Wufang' (Wulaojun ) are the five-fold manifestation of the Supreme God of Heaven in Chinese mythology. They are considered to be the physical manifestation of the Daoist creator and theological concept, Tian, 'heaven'. Each of the Five Gods is represented by a particular colour: Huangdi as the Yellow Deity, Cangdi as the Blue-green Deity, Heidi as the Black Deity, Chidi as the Red Deity, and Baidi as the White Deity. The concept of the Five Gods was important in early Chinese culture and philosophy, concerning ideas about the night sky and beliefs about the afterlife. They represented the five sacred Chinese mountains, the five most important planets in the solar system, the five directions of space, and the five major constellations that rotate around the North Star. The description of the 'Five Gods of Wufang' admiring a scroll with a Taiji diagram (symbolising the centre of the universe) became a popular theme in Song dynasty literature and later in decorative arts.The Three Star Gods, Fu, Lu and Shou are the gods of the three constellations and the embodiment of Wealth (Fu), Prosperity (Lu), and Longevity (Shou). As exemplified by the present lot, the God of Wealth is shown in the red robe of a state official with a ruyi sceptre in his hands; the God of Prosperity is shown in the robe of a ministerial vice director holding a boy in his arms; and the God of Longevity as an old man standing next to a deer, holding a peach branch.See a closely-related famille rose 'Eight Immortals' plaque, Qianlong, with similar meticulous execution of the details, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 29 November 2018, lot 424.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He collaborated with I.M.Pei to design the Luce Memorial Chapel on the Tunghai University campus in 1963, which became a hallmark of mid-century Modernist architecture. He also often painted in watercolour and would borrow some aspects from traditional Chinese painting but apply it to modern themes or Western style line work. Many of his works were abstract or referencing small landscapes. His paintings are in the permanent collection at various museums including Smithsonian American Art Museum, Harvard Art Museums, and the British Museum, among others. To commemorate the 90th anniversary of his birth, a selection of Chen's paintings were displayed at the National Palace Museum in Taipei.See a related long hanging painted scroll of a sunrise by Chen Qikuan which was sold at Sotheby's London, 16 May 2018, lot 53.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

(2).Footnotes:翟雲升（1776-1858）、劉廷琛（1867-1932） 書法 一組兩件 水墨紙本 立軸Provenance: Dr Walter Rieder (1890-1986)Dr Walter Rieder (1890-1986) served in the Swiss East Asia Mission (SOAM) in Qingdao, Shandong Province, between October 1930 and December 1951. The mission specialised in educational, literary and philanthropic work and Dr Rieder was in fact, not a theologian or missionary, but a teacher of mathematics, physics and science to high school students attached to the SOAM. His guiding principles were 'Creating understanding between different cultures' and 'Building bridges between East and West'. While in Qingdao, Dr Rieder collected a wide variety of Chinese art. The objects in the collection thus offer a unique window into the type of antiques that were on the market in Qingdao in the second quarter of the 20th century. As well as demonstrating his passion for Chinese art, his collection also reveals the personal friendships Dr Rieder forged with local artists, some of whom he knew from his teaching activities. Dr Rieder had a scholarly approach to studying his collection. Alongside many of his objects, meticulous notes can sometimes be found detailing his art historical commentaries. The collection was hence Dr Rieder's gateway to the history and culture of China. Objects from the collection were exhibited at the Kunsthaus in Interlaken, Switzerland in 2006 and 2018.來源：Walter Rieder博士（1890-1986）舊藏1930年10月至1951年12月間，Walter Rieder博士（1890-1986）於山東青島的瑞士東亞使團 (SOAM) 任職。該組織專注於教育、文學和慈善工作，但Rieder博士並非作為傳教士，而是作為一名教師，教授高中數學、物理及科學科目，並以促進'文化間交流理解'和'搭建東西方文化的橋樑'為己任。在其旅居青島期間，Rieder博士大量收藏了各類中國藝術品。通過本次拍賣所呈現的拍品，我們得以一窺二十世紀後半葉的青島古董市場。Rieder博士的藏品不僅展示了他對中國藝術的熱情，還反應了其任教期間與當地的文人逸士建立的個人友誼。 Rieder博士還對其藏品進行了學術研究，並對很多物品留下了詳細筆記。也因為此，這些藏品也成為了Rieder博士了解中國歷史和文化的門戶。本次上拍的拍品曾於2006年與2018年於瑞士因特拉肯的美術館展出。Zhai Yunsheng (1776-1860), zi Shun Tang, hao Wen Quan, was from Shandong Province, Ye county, now Caizhou city. His clerical script calligraphy recalls Han dynasty stone inscriptions. Indeed, his scholarly works and calligraphy show that he was very much part of the Qing dynasty scholarly trend of 'searching for evidence' (kaozheng 考證): a rigorous new philology that sparked closer scrutiny of stone inscriptions and inscriptions on archaic bronze.Liu Tingchen (1867-1932) zi Youyun, hao Qianlou, was President of Peking University (then known as the Imperial University of Peking) from December 1907 - September 1910.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
