† A SMALL WHITE MARBLE FIGURE OF A LION, TANG DYNASTY 唐代小漢白玉獅Published: Religion and Ritual, Michael B. Weisbrod, Inc., 1987, no. 19.China, 618-907. Finely carved, the beast seated on its haunches atop a rectangular plinth and facing forward with the mouth wide open in a ferocious roar, the fierce expression further marked by large bulging eyes. Three long strands of a split beard are smoothly carved on the chest below the chin in rounded relief. The pointed ears are laid back above the thick, subtly carved curls of the mane. Its tail curls around the figure's right side with the end lying over the back paw and below the chest.Provenance: Michael B. Weisbrod, Inc., New York, USA, acquired 1985 in the Hong Kong market. The collection of J. Abraham Cohen, New York, USA, acquired from the above. Michael B. Weisbrod, Inc., New York, USA, 2010, acquired from the above. A notable Canadian private collection, acquired from the above. Michael B. Weisbrod is a noted scholar of Chinese art, who has published extensively on the subject over a time span of more than 50 years. In 1972, Michael joined his father Dr. Gerald Weisbrod's Asian art gallery in Toronto, Canada. The father-and-son team opened their New York location on Madison Avenue in 1977, and during the next 45 years the gallery held a significant number of exhibitions, selling to museums and private collectors across the globe, eventually adding further locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.Condition: Superb condition, commensurate with age. Small losses and nicks, light scratches, old wear and weathering, some imperfections to the stone. Fine, naturally grown patina with an unctuous feel and a magnificent ivory color overall.Weight: 1,837 g Dimensions: Height 16.2 cmThe lion is well represented in Buddhist art of the Tang dynasty. Its roar was said to represent the dissemination of the Buddhist scriptures. In their role as guardian figures, lions can be found not only lining spirit roads which lead to imperial tombs, but also in pairs in tombs, such as the pair of small marble lions found guarding the front room of the underground hoard of Buddhist relics at the Famen Temple. See Famen Temple, Shanxi, 1990, pp. 164-167. This figure is stylistically related to other marble lions of Tang date that are also seated on a plinth, some facing forward, some with the mouth open.Literature comparison: The present marble lion bears a strong resemblance to one of the large stone guardian lions along the spirit path of the Qian Ling mausoleum, the tomb of Emperor Gao Zong and Empress Wu Zetian near Xi'an, illustrated by Qian, Out of China's Earth, page 156, and also by Siren, Chinese Sculpture from the Fifth to the Fourteenth Century, volume 4, pl. 431A. Allowing the difference in size and material, there is a marked similarity in the shape of the muzzle, the split beard and the collar of flesh between the shoulders and legs. The large stone lion is probably no later than AD 683, the year of Gao Zong's death.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 24 September 2020, lot 908 Price: USD 475,000 or approx.

† A LARGE 'FIVE DRAGON' WOOL CARPET, QIANLONG 乾隆大型紅地五龍紋羊毛地毯China, 1736-1795. Finely woven with a central front-facing five-clawed dragon writhing around a flaming pearl, encircled by two pairs of confronting sinuous dragons, each chasing a pearl, surrounded by swirling clouds, bordered to the long sides with bands of pearls, key-fret, and the Eight Buddhist emblems alternating with floral designs, each end with a terrestrial diagram above lishui stripe.Provenance: From the personal collection of Michael B. Weisbrod, New York, by repute acquired at Sotheby's in the 1990s for approx. USD 30,000. Michael B. Weisbrod is a noted scholar of Chinese art, who has published extensively on the subject over a time span of more than 50 years. In 1972, Michael joined his father Dr. Gerald Weisbrod's Asian art gallery in Toronto, Canada. The father-and-son team opened their New York location on Madison Avenue in 1977, and during the next 45 years the gallery held a significant number of exhibitions, selling to museums and private collectors across the globe, eventually adding further locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.Condition: Overall fair condition with extensive wear, minor fading to colors, losses and tears, possibly minor old repairs.Dimensions: Size ca. 480 x 350 cmWhile the dragon itself is the symbol of the emperor, the number five is most auspicious and represents the 'Five Blessings (wufu)' of old age, wealth, health, virtue and peaceful death. The design of 'Five Dragons' also alludes to the 'Five Dragons of Yanshan (Yanshan wulong)', named after the five sons of Dou Yujun, who lived in Yanshan during the Five dynasties period (907-960), each of whom achieved exceptional success with their father epitomizing the ideal parent.The Eight Auspicious Buddhist Symbols (bajixiang) amongst the dragons in the design are also unusual and suggest the possibility of the rug being used at Buddhist ceremonies or on special religious occasions. However, it also demonstrates the level of creative freedom exercised by artists during Qianlong's reign who were encouraged to produce pieces with one-off designs. See a zitan closet, where the bajixiang is carved amongst dense ruyi-form clouds, from the Qing Court collection and still in Beijing, included in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (II), Hong Kong, 2002, pl. 206, and a red sandalwood throne also carved with dragons and clouds, where the bajixiang is used as a design element on its own, ibidem, pl. 26.Literature comparison: A related Imperial dragon carpet dating from the 18th century is illustrated by R. Soame Jenyns, Chinese Art, Vol. III, Oxford, 1981, no. 18.13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer's premium - only for buyers within the EU.乾隆大型紅地五龍紋羊毛地毯中國,1736-1795年。地毯正中央盤旋著一條五爪大龍,龍身與龍頭為深藍色,龍爪則是深藍色,龍看上去炯炯有神,面對一顆火珠,氣勢十足。在這條大龍的上下兩側,分佈著四條模樣相似的小龍,這些小龍都面向大龍團團圍住,一派祥和。而在五條龍盤踞的區域外圍,則有規律地分佈著花草、祥雲、五色波紋,圖案豐滿,氣勢恢宏。 來源:美國紐約Michael B. Weisbrod私人收藏,在20世紀90年代以約30,000美元的價格在蘇富比拍賣會上購得。Michael B. Weisbrod是一位著名的中國藝術學者,他在 50 多年的時間裡就該主題發表了大量著作。1972 年,Michael加入了他父親 Gerald Weisbrod 博士在加拿大多倫多的亞洲藝術藝廊。這對父子團隊於 1977 年在麥迪遜大道開設了他們的紐約分館,在接下來的 45 年裡,藝廊舉辦了大量展覽,向全球的博物館和私人收藏家出售作品,最終還在上海和香港開辦分店。 品相:整體狀況良好,磨損嚴重,輕微褪色、缺損,撕裂,可能有輕微的維修。 尺寸:約480 x 350 厘米 龍象徵帝王,數字五是最吉祥,是代表著長壽、財富、健康、美德和安寧的“五福”。此外,地毯上的八吉祥紋也很不尋常,表明地毯可能用於佛教儀式或特殊的宗教場合。同時,它也展示了乾隆年間藝術家的創作自由程度。文獻比較: 一件相近的十八世紀御製龍紋地毯,R. Soame Jenyns,《Chinese Art》,卷III,牛津,1981年,編號18。
