JERVIS JOHN: (1735-1823) 1st Earl of St. Vincent. British Admiral of the Fleet, a patron of Horatio Nelson. An excellent series of twenty-three A.Ls.S. and twenty-four Ls.S., J Jervis (4) and St. Vincent, 84 pages (total), 4to and folio, HMS Ville de Paris, off Cadiz, and Gibraltar, June 1797 - April 1799, to James Matra. The Admiral writes to His Majesty's Consul General at Tangier on various subjects, making several references to Nelson and Napoleon, and in some letters expressing typical bravado, in part -'You will very much benefit His Majs. Service and oblige me by sending a fast rowing boat to Gibraltar with the inclosed, the early delivery of it being of great importance to the King's service. I beg you will make my Compliments to Mrs. Matra & Miss Ainslio & tell them if they have the smallest curiosity to see the Fleet in the proud position it has taken I will send a Frigate for them, ignorant whether your instructions will permit you to be of the party I can only say I shall be glad to see you at all times……Should you be able to purchase a few ostrich feathers of the finest quality for me I shall be much obliged to you' (12th June 1797)'The Falucha named the Embark with your Passport escaped the vigilance of the advanced Squadron and got into Cadiz…..but had not the same good fortune coming out. I cannot entertain the smallest doubt of the vessel and cargo being Spanish…..yet from political motives and consideration of your character I have directed her to be carried into Tangier…..making the Spaniards who navigate her Prisoners of War' (20th June 1797)'Rear Admiral Nelson gave Don Joseph de Mazzarredo an alert on Monday night, three or four shells into Cadiz took two Bomb Vessels carrying each an 84 ½ inch Mortar & a Launch with the Commandant of the Flotilla who lost sixteen or eighteen men and was himself wounded before he surrendered. Another visit was intended last night, but a strong Northerly wind prevented its being carried into effect. If Don Joseph really means to give us Battle he has lost several favourable opportunities when our Force was much smaller than it is at present' (6th July 1797)'…..the French will certainly acquire a great addition to their Marine, by this stroke at Venice, but I am under no apprehension for the effect of it here. I see no difficulty whatsoever in the way of a negotiation for peace. Although I think a total change of men and measures in England absolutely necessary for the salvation of the Country. I fear a great deal of mischief will ensue before that event takes place, it being evident to me that those in Office will cling to the last moment and the King hads been taught to dread reforms' (27th July 1797)'I have detached a sufficient force of frigates to overcome the Spaniards…..The order for the departure of the Christians owes its origin probably to the intrigues of the French, who are busy & active in every quarter of the Globe, to disturb the peace of mankind and unhinge all government' (29th July 1797)'The nerves of all Spaniards are so shattered that they will not believe they shall ever be at peace until the definitive Treaty is signed. My firm opinion is that we shall have the preliminaries in a few days. A Spanish officer of the Neptune who came on board the Orion…..with a flag of truce held the same language I do and gave sound reasons for it' (8th August 1797)'A letter of the 22 of July recd. at Cadiz from Lisle says the negotiation is going on satisfactorily & cannot fail' (10th August 1797)'Your communication…..of yesterday certainly is indicative of a continuation of this devasting war; yet from intelligence brought by a Lieutenant of the Neptune sent out by Mazzarredo yesterday & by every appearance here such as fishing boats innumerable coming out, many of them with refreshments for our Fleet, beyond anything I have observed since the first of April, I adhere to my opinion that we are on the eve of Peace……the distractions in France are much more likely to accelerate Peace than to prolong War. The Portuguese are sanguine that they shall succeed in their negotiations, which my correspondent asserts is a separate one' (23rd August 1797)'Spain is languishing for Peace on any terms and Holland shews great jealousy of the attempts made by France…..to make her a slavish province of the French Empire' (26th August 1797)'A Moorish vessel….was captured by the boats of the Spanish Ships of War Yester-Morn and towed into Cadiz, there was a sharp cannonade between their Gun and Mortar Boats and our Launches on the occasion; I have stated to Don Josef de Mazzarredo that if the Master of the Vessel is not permitted to sell his Cargo to the best advantage I will retaliate on every neutral vessel from Barbary' (10th September 1797)'Many thanks for your interesting letters..with the Table of Laws the Tyrants, in the Directory, have cram'd down the throats of the two Councils, if a great, numerous people like the French submit to this abominable violation - Liberty is but a name' (6th October 1797)'Many thanks for the cymbals, the louder they are the better for a Marine Band' (27th November 1797)'We have intelligence by the Fishing Boats that a Line of Battle Ship and some Frigates escaped out of Cadiz during the Easterly gale in the night of Monday or Tuesday last. I shall be very glad to ascertain the truth of this report' (14th April 1798)'It may not be amiss to convey to the Emperor that if he prohibits the exportation of live cattle to Gibraltar and to the Fleet it may occasion a total stop to the export of any commodity from his dominions….I wish His Imperial Majesty not to be impressed with an idea that either the Fleet I have the honor to command or the Garrison of Gibraltar is at all dependent on supplies from His territory; we certainly can obtain them from other quarters without any difficulty…Should the Emperor become decidedly hostile I always have in my power to annihilate Tangier as a place of Export, and I can do him more mischief to the Southward than he is aware of' (20th April 1798)'His Imperial Majesty of Morocco will come to his senses very soon if His Majesty of Gibraltar will persevere, the revocation of the Order not to admit Moorish vessels to Practique at Gibraltar was an unfortunate measure…I enclose a list (no longer present) of Admiral Nelson's squadron to which the Lion will be added in a few days. I am under no apprehension for the event of a meeting between them and the Toulon Fleet, it is a consummation devoutly to be wished' (24th June 1798)'[Thomas] Troubridge joined Nelson off Toulon...and they proceeded in quest of the French Armada..it was spotted..a few leagues to the Westward of Sicily steering for that Island' (3rd July 1798)'The Barbarian Language held by the Emperor towards Lord Henry Paulett has I am sure been retorted in a dignified manner by you. It may not be amiss to convey to His Imperial Majesty and His Ministry that I can fill up the entrance to all his Ports, without the loss of a Man, and with great facility put an entire stop to the whole of the Trade of His Subjects. When I receive an official of Nelson's action with Buonaparte you shall have an authentic copy to thunder in the ears of these wretched deluded people' (24th July 1798)OWING TO LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE SALEROOM THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THIS LOT CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED HERE. Please contact us directly for further information.

A BLUE AND WHITE 'MUSICIANS' DISH, KANGXI PERIODChina, 1662-1722. The shallow rounded sides rising from a short tapered foot to a wide everted rim, the broad floor filled with Daoist musicians and their attendants in the shade of a pine tree at a hillside, surrounded by a band of lotus flowers and Daoist emblems to the short cavetto, the gently sloping wide rim with additional Daoist figures framed within reserves against a geometric patterned ground.Provenance: Belgian trade, by repute from a local private collection.Condition: Fine condition with minor old wear and firing flaws, the rim with two hairlines, minuscule nicks to the foot.Weight: 1,412 g Dimensions: Diameter 39.5 cmIt is interesting to note that the Chinese musical tradition remained quite stable throughout the Qing dynasty before the New Culture Movement, as evidenced by the many similarities between the painting on the present dish and the musicians pictured in an old photograph taken in Shanghai during the 1860s (figure 1). The first major and well-documented flowering of Chinese music was for the qin during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD), although this instrument is known to have been played already since before the Han period. Through succeeding dynasties over thousands of years, Chinese musicians developed a large assortment of different instruments and playing styles, including court, folk, and religious music as well as instrumental, opera, storytelling, and many other kinds. A wide variety of these instruments, such as guzheng and dizi, are indigenous, although many popular traditional musical instruments were introduced from Central Asia, such as the erhu and pipa. Musical instruments were traditionally classified into eight categories known as bayin. Traditional music in China is played on solo instruments or in small ensembles of plucked and bowed stringed instruments, flutes, and various cymbals, gongs, and drums. The scale is pentatonic. Bamboo pipes and qin are among the oldest known musical instruments from China. 康熙時期青花開光樂者場景大盤中國,1662-1722年。折沿,斜圓腹,中央開光青花描繪文人園中松下奏樂賞玩場景;折沿上錦地開光描繪農家樂;斜腹上蓮紋。來源:比利時古玩市場,據説來自當地私人收藏。 品相:狀況良好,有輕微的磨損和燒製瑕疵,邊緣有兩條細裂紋,足部有微小的刻痕。 重量:1,412 克 尺寸:直徑39.5厘米

(5)Bo is the generic name for pairs of cymbals that come in a variety of sizes, all with rims that curl upward at the edges. Bo are used together with gongs and drums for military music and play a prominent role in opera productions, where they accent the actors' movements. Several playing techniques may be employed: the discs may be clashed together or held horizontally, with one raking across the other to produce a sustained rolling sound. In Tibetan processions and dance, drums and cymbals set up basic rhythmic patterns for wind instruments, and in temple settings are used with bells to accompany chant.Literature comparison: A pair of bronze cymbals from the Xuande period is in the Tibet Museum in Lhasa. A pair of bronze cymbals from the Jin dynasty is in the Shaanxi Provincial Museum. Compare a pair of bronze cymbals dated to the late 17th century in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 2003.465a-d.Auction result comparison: Compare a bronze ghanta, also with a Xuande mark and of the period, at Sotheby's Hong Kong in Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art on 9 October 2012, lot 3111, sold for HKD 980,000, and another at Christie's Hong Kong in The Perfect Countenance - Fine Buddhist Works of Art on 31 May 2017, lot 2809, sold for HKD 687,500. 大明宣德五年一副銅鈸,宣德款及年代 中國, 1431年。銅鈸一對,落款自右至左為"大明宣德五年造",刻款,德字少一橫,鈸腹刻有雙龍戲珠圖案,一大一小。 款識:大明宣德五年造 來源:瑞士知名私人收藏。 品相:狀況極佳,與年齡相稱。 大面積磨損和鑄造缺陷、輕微的凹痕、表面淺劃痕、污跡和翹曲。布料有明顯使用痕跡、磨損、弄髒和丟失痕跡的紡織品。 重量:分別800 克與 805 克 尺寸:直徑分別為 31.5 厘米 與 31.7 厘米 皮革肩帶、兩個紡織襯墊和一個紡織袋,應爲十九世紀末至二十世紀早期。(5) 鈸是各種尺寸的鑔片的通用名稱,是一種常見的打擊樂器。所有镲片的邊緣都向上捲曲。銅鈸與鑼鼓一起用於軍樂,在歌劇製作中扮演重要角色,它們強調角色的動作。可以採用幾種演奏技巧:可以將圓盤碰撞在一起或水平放置,其中一個在另一個上傾斜以產生持續的滾動聲音。 在藏族遊行和舞蹈中,鼓和鈸為管樂器決定了基本的節奏模式,在寺廟中用鐘聲伴隨著誦經。 文獻比較:一副宣德銅鈸可見拉薩西藏博物館;一副金代銅鈸見陝西省博物館;比較一幅銅鈸,十七世紀,見大都會博物館,編號2003.465a-d。 拍賣結果比較:比較一宣德款及年代的銅鈴,見香港蘇富比Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art 2012年10月9日 lot 3111, 售價HKD 980,000;另一件見香港佳士得The Perfect Countenance - Fine Buddhist Works of Art 2017年5月31日 lot 2809, 售價HKD 687,500。
