A RARE GOLD AND SILVER-INLAID BRONZE TAPIR-FORM VESSEL, ZUN17th/18th centuryThe creature standing four square with mouth slightly open below a curled snout, carrying a square-sectioned vase on its back, the pointed ears behind flaming eyebrows, the collar with a band of bosses, the body and face inlaid with gold and silver depicting foliate, geometric and spiralling designs. 35.5cm (14in) long.Footnotes:十七/十八世紀 銅錯金銀犧尊Provenance: Sir Michael Oppenheimer (3rd Baronet, 1924-2020) and Lady Helen Oppenheimer DD (1926-2022), and thence by descent來源： Michael Oppenheimer 爵士（三代從男爵，1924-2020年）與Helen Oppenheimer爵士夫人（1926-2022年），並由後人保存迄今The vessel belonged to Sir Michael (3rd Baronet, 1924-2020) and Lady Helen Oppenheimer DD. Sir Michael's maternal grandparents were Sir Robert Grenville Harvey, 2nd Baronet (1856-1931) and Lady Emily Blanche Harvey (1872-1935) of Langley Park, Buckinghamshire. Their Chinese art collection can be, at least in part, traced back to Langley Park, Buckinghamshire, home to the Harvey Baronets from 1788 until 1945.Sir Michael Oppenheimer's paternal family was the well-known South African mining family. The baronetcy was created in 1921 for Bernard Oppenheimer, Chairman of the South African Diamond Corporation for setting up diamond-sorting factories to employ wounded ex-servicemen after the First World War. The family has been involved with De Beers over many decades. Lady Oppenheimer DD (1926-2022) was a distinguished moral and philosophical theologian, with a particular interest in the ethics pertaining to personal relationships.Finely cast as a tapir carrying a gu vase on its back, the present vessel is a playful interpretation of archaic bronze models, encapsulating the reverence for the past and expansion of political power at the time of its production. The form and decoration are based on ancient prototypes dating to the Warring States period (475-221 BC), which were similarly shaped and decorated with inlaid designs in gold and silver.The identity of the creature cast as the base for the present vase has been greatly discussed and variously referred to as a 'mythological animal', a 'rhinoceros' and a 'tapir'. The latter appears to be the most likely candidate as tapirs, although currently extinct in China, appear to have been indigenous to the area since as early as 200,000 BC.Archaistic vessels of this type are the result of renewed interest in ancient bronzes during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song dynasty (AD 960-1127). The ruler, a keen antiquarian, prompted the publication of the 'Xuanhe Illustrated Catalogue of Antiques', Xuanhe Bogu tulu, which included an illustration of a tapir-shaped bronze vessel. The popularity of inlaid zoomorphic bronze vessels continued into the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties (13th-18th centuries). The 'Catalogue of Xiqing Antiquities' Xiqing gujian, for example, is an illustrated catalogue of ancient bronze utensils and other objects from the Shang (1600-1046 BC) to the Han (202 BC-220 AD) dynasties in the Imperial collection of the Qing dynasty. This work was commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor, compiled under the supervision of scholar-official Liang Shizheng (1697-1763), and completed in 1751. This ambitious literary project reflected the emperor's intention to 'restore the ancient ways', referring to the view of ancient culture as having intrinsic moral qualities of sincerity, simplicity and happy exuberance.Compare with a related cloisonné enamel zun vessel shaped as a tapir at the base, carrying a vase on its back, Qianlong mark and of the period, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Enamel Ware in the Ming and Ch'ing Dynasty, Taipei, 1999, no.43.

AN IMPERIAL EMBROIDERED SILK APRICOT-GROUND 'TWELVE-SYMBOL' WOMAN'S DRAGON ROBE19th centuryThe robe couched in gold and silver threads with nine five-clawed dragons pursuing flaming pearls amidst clusters of clouds interspersed with bats, stylised shou characters and the Twelve Symbols of Imperial Authority, all reserved on an apricot-yellow ground above the terrestrial diagram with lishui stripe at the hem, with dark-ground cuffs, collar and sleeve bands decorated with further dragons and clouds. 130cm (51 1/4in) long.Footnotes:十九世紀 杏黃緞繡十二章紋女龍袍Provenance: Spink & Son Ltd., LondonA European private collection來源： 倫敦古董商Spink & Son Ltd.歐洲私人收藏 Published, Exhibited and Illustrated: Spink & Son Ltd, Chinese Textiles, London, 1994, p.53, cat.no. 53.展覽著錄： Spink & Son Ltd, 《Chinese Textiles》，倫敦，1994年，第53頁，圖錄編號53 The robe is distinguished by the Twelve Symbols of Imperial Authority, which include the sun, the moon, the constellation, the rock, the dragon, the pheasant, the axe-head, the figure fu, the water plant, the sacrificial vessels, the flames, and the grain. According to the Book of Documents (尚書), the legendary ancient Emperor Shun referred twelve symbols as ancient in his time and wished for them to be used on sacrificial robes. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the system of clothing and adornment was established. From that point on, and lasting through the Ming and Qing dynasties, the twelve-symbol pattern was used as the decorative design for the attire of emperors and officials for nearly two thousand years. Only slight changes in the positioning and colours of the twelve symbols developed over time. In the Huanchao liqi lushi (皇朝禮器圖式) compiled in 1759 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the Twelve Symbols were only mentioned in regulations regarding to the Emperor's chaofu and longpao, which leads to the assumption that their use was reserved for the emperor during the Qing dynasty. However, some scholars have observed instances where the right to use the Twelve Symbols was conferred as a mark of Imperial favour, and there are several examples of women's robes featuring the symbols. See G.Dickinson ＆ L.Wrigglesworth, Imperial Wardrobe, London, 1990, p.93. The absence of the two vents at the front and back, along with the design of the sleeve sections indicate that the present lot is a woman's robe. The use of this prestigious yellow colour, particularly in a robe adorned with the Twelve Symbols of Imperial Authority, would have been reserved for a high-ranking woman in the Qing court.See a related yellow-ground embroidered gauze Twelve-Symbol woman's dragon robe, Guangxu, in the Qing Court Collection, in the Palace Museum, Beijing (acc. no. 故00044110).

A RARE POLYCHROME ENAMELLED AND UNDERGLAZE-BLUE 'EIGHT BUDDHIST EMBLEMS' TIBETAN-STYLE RITUAL VASE, BENBAPINGQianlong seal mark and of the period Deftly potted with a slightly compressed globular body rising from a spreading foot and surmounted by a fluted, tall, domed neck and parasol-shaped top, the body brightly enamelled with the Eight Buddhist Emblems, bajixiang, alternating with stylised lotus blooms, the colourful decoration to the neck imitating a Tibetan banner, the top with florets enclosed within meandering flower scrolls, the interior and base enamelled in turquoise. 29.5cm (11 5/8in) high. Footnotes:清乾隆 青花洋彩八吉祥紋賁巴瓶青花「大清乾隆年製」篆書款Provenance: a British private collection, acquired circa 1901-1902, and thence by descent來源： 英國私人收藏，獲得於約1901-1902年，並由後人保存迄今This rare altar vase, known as a benbaping in Chinese, was designed to hold sacred plants for rituals associated with Tibetan Buddhism. Its form is likely inspired by a jewel-encrusted silver vessel known as a Bumpa, the Tibetan word for 'vase'. These vessels were traditionally used in Tibetan Buddhist temples to display sprays of herbs in front of Buddhist images. An illustration of a silver Bumpa can be found in Cultural Relics of Tibetan Buddhism Collected in the Qing Palace, Beijing, 1996, pl.146.Vessels like the present lot were crafted for use in Buddhist temples within the Palace grounds during the Qianlong period. The design shares similarities with ewers used for holding sacred water in ritual purification ceremonies, both featuring a globular body and drum-like upper section. However, ewers are distinguished by a spout emerging from a dragon's mouth, as shown by R.Kerr, Chinese Ceramics: Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, London, 1986, p.115, no.101.The form of this vase is particularly reminiscent of the gold Bumpa urn, which held ivory plaques used to confirm the identities of reincarnated Grand Lamas. This connection is illustrated in Treasures from Snow Mountains: Gems of Tibetan Cultural Relics, Shanghai, 2001, p.50, no.4. See also a gold benbaping, Qing dynasty, in the collection of the Jokhang Monastery, Lhasa, illustrated by Zhang Zhongya, 'Qingdai zhizang zhengce deyixiang zhongyao zhidu: jin benbaping guanjian' (清代治藏政策的一項重要制度 金賁巴瓶管見), 2023 (4), China's Ethnic Groups, p.58. The vibrant banding on the neck of this vase is painted to resemble the multi-coloured silk banners often hung in cylindrical form in Buddhist temples. These banners, contributing to the spiritual ambiance, can be observed in the Hall of Long Life within the Potala Palace, as illustrated in The Potala, Beijing, 1995, p.52, no.11. The meticulous decoration on this vase not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also underscores its ritual significance in the Buddhist tradition.Numerous similar polychrome enamelled examples, Qianlong marks and of the period, but with different coloured grounds are at the Qing Court Collection in the Palace Museum, Beijing, (acc.nos.gu00186110, gu00186100, gu00186101, gu00186108, gu00186119, gu00186118).

SPOILUM (ACTIVE 1774-1805)Portrait of a Western Man in a Chinese LandscapeOil and silver on reverse of glass, framed. 61cm (24in) high x 45.7cm (18in) wide.Footnotes:史貝霖（活躍於1774-1805） 在中國風景中的西方男子 玻璃鏡畫 有框Provenance: a Swedish private collectionMartyn Gregory, London來源： 瑞典私人收藏倫敦古董商Martyn GregoryPublished, Illustrated and Exhibited: Martyn Gregory, Merchants and Mariners: Catalogue 98, London, 2018-2019, p.97, no.97. 展覽著錄： Martyn Gregory，《Merchants and Mariners: Catalogue 98》，倫敦，2018-2019年，第97頁，編號97The Chinese export artist known to Westerners as Spoilum, is renowned today for his oil portraits on canvas, painted in Canton (modern Guangzhou) between 1785 and 1805. However, it is evident that he was earlier engaged in painting reverse-glass portraits of Western merchants, depicting them either standing or seated in a style reminiscent of the English portrait artist Arthur Devis; often with a river landscape in the background. His earliest known work is a reverse-glass portrait of Captain Thomas Fry, dated 1774. For similar reverse-glass portraits that share compositional elements with the present picture, see also Martyn Gregory, Catalogue 81, London, 2005-2006, no.117, and Catalogue 78, London, 2002, no.108. Another example can be found at the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight (acc.no.LL 8824).In the current portrait, a young man, likely a merchant trading in Canton, wears a dark blue coat over a cream waistcoat, holding his stick and hat in his extended right hand. He stands on a path bordered by rocks and flowers, beside a tree overlooking a river, where a Chinese official's boat is anchored. A pheasant and a parakeet appear in the sky above.For further details about Spoilum's portraiture, see P.Conner, 'The Enigma of Spoilum and the Origins of China Trade Painting,' in The Magazine Antiques, March 1998, vol.CLIII, p.418, no.3.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
