EUR 43,500 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). Michael Michaels, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. Christie's London, 7 November 2017, lot 170. A private collection in the United Kingdom, acquired from the above. A copy of the 1983 Christie's catalog entry for the present lot with a handwritten note from Michael Michaels, confirming the purchase price listed above, accompanies this lot. Michael Michaels (1907-1986) was born in Magdeburg, Germany, fleeing to the United Kingdom in 1933 when the Nazis came to power in Germany. As a young refugee, Michaels worked at a raincoat factory until founding his own tent and camping equipment company in London with his wife Charlotte. With the success of his company, Michaels began to pursue his passion in antiquities, traveling the globe and visiting museums and archeological sites. During his time in London, Michaels spent countless hours in the British Museum, learning from Jessica Rawson and growing his understanding of the history and technology behind different material cultures. He assembled a very large and important collection of Chinese bronzes during his lifetime. Condition: Superb condition, commensurate with age, with old wear and expected casting irregularities. Signs of weathering and erosion with minor losses, cracks and dents. The rich, naturally grown patina has fine malachite and azurite encrustations overall.Weight: 725 g Dimensions: Length 24.2 cm At the heart of Chinese mythology are the four spiritual creatures, or four celestial emblems, Si Xiang, each of them being most closely associated with a cardinal direction and a color, but also additionally representing other aspects, including a season of the year, an emotion, a virtue, and one of the five Chinese elements. Each has been given its own individual traits, origin story and its reason for being. Depictions of mythological creatures clearly ancestral to the modern set have been found throughout China. Currently, the oldest known depiction was discovered in 1987 in a tomb in Xishuipo, Henan, which has been dated to approximately 5300 BC. In the tomb, labeled M45, mosaics made of clam shells and bones forming images closely resembling the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, respectively, were found.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bronze brazier with the corresponding earcup, 24 cm long, dated to the Han dynasty, in the Art Institute of Chicago, accession number 1930.362.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 14 September 2012, lot 1252 Price: USD 11,875 or approx.

A RARE AND IMPORTANT LIMESTONE FIGURE OF A BODHISATTVA, LONGMEN GROTTOES, NORTHERN WEI DYNASTY 北魏罕見石灰石菩薩立像，龍門石窟 China, 386-534. Finely carved standing on a circular lotus dais, the right hand held in front of the chest and the left lowered at his side, the head slightly tilted to his right. Wearing long flowing robes secured at the waist and billowing scarves falling loosely over the body. The face sensitively carved with a serene expression marked by heavy-lidded eyes, gently arched brows, and full lips, flanked by long pendulous earlobes. A simple tiara with a central flower separates the braids of hair pulled up in front of the head, and equally serves as the base for a hairdo that forms an almost crown-like design on top.Provenance: A private collection in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, pre-1983. Anunt Hengtrakul, New York, USA, acquired from the above c. 1984. Michael B. Weisbrod, Inc., New York, USA, acquired from the above, c. 1992. The collection of J. Abraham Cohen, New York, USA, acquired from the above. Anunt Hengtrakul was a collector of fine Chinese works of art, active in the US and Canada during the 1980s and 1990s. In the early 2000s, he began to gift objects to museums, including the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, and the Middlebury College Museum of Art in Middlebury, Vermont. 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.Published: Michael B. Weisbrod, Inc., Brochure, New York, 1992.Condition: Excellent condition, commensurate with age, and presenting remarkably well. Extensive wear, minor losses and cracks, small nicks, light scratches, signs of weathering and erosion, some encrustations. Fine, naturally grown patina with a subtle luster overall, worn from centuries of exposure to the natural elements.Weight: 5,796 g (excl. stand)Dimensions: Height 53.5 cm (excl. stand) and 59 cm (incl. stand)Sculptures of this type are known to be from the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan, China. They are all fragmentary, and of a dark and mottled color, alternating from gray to black, as seen on the back of the present statue where the raw stone becomes visible. Occasionally, a light brown color appears on the carved surface in the front. All figures were cut from the caves in a particular manner, leaving the present statue with a V-shaped cross-section.Of all the caves in the Longmen Grottoes, those completed during the Northern Wei and Tang dynasties make up around 30 % and 60 %, respectively. Naturally, these two dynasties show widely different styles of carving. Those of the Northern Wei are vivacious, slim, and sensitively carved, while the Tang figures are more plump. The Wei figures are some of the finest examples of Chinese Buddhist art.Literature comparison: Several illustrated examples, found in different collections and museums around the world, have been published in The Lost Statues of Longmen Cave, Longmen Grottoes Research Institute, by C. K. Chan, Wen Yucheng, and Wang Zhenguo, numbers 6, 9, 11, and 22, all of which have characteristics similar to the present lot including the long upper torso, low waist, S-shaped folds on the robes or sleeves, and the shallow but confident carving of the details, as well as a similar patina and encrustation.

A RARE ARCHAIC BRONZE RITUAL WINE VESSEL, HU, MIDDLE WESTERN ZHOU DYNASTY 西周中期罕見青銅壺 Expert's note: This vessel comes in a 100% untreated, original, as-excavated condition unlike most of the large Shang and Zhou Dynasty bronzes in circulation, which typically have undergone substantial restoration and patina treatment/enhancement. The X-Ray (images 3 and 4) reveals that the meticulously incised design is in a magnificent state of preservation just below the patina. The X-Ray (images 20, 21, 22 and 23) further reveals that there is no repair work whatsoever, and that deep surface corrosion is minimal. Overall, it must be said that such a large vessel, which such fine designs, and in such a good condition must be regarded as very rare. (more x-ray images available upon request) China, 10th-9th century BC. The sides flat-cast with four rows of large fish scale patterns with combed borders, below two pairs of long-tailed birds confronted on a leiwen band between a pair of lug handles flanking the base of the neck, the whole raised on a spreading pedestal foot pierced on two sides with a circular aperture. The bronze is covered overall in a magnificent, naturally grown patina with extensive malachite, cuprite, and azurite encrustation.Provenance: A Far Eastern collector in Queens, New York, USA.

Weisbrod, Inc., New York, USA, 8 December 1987, no. 12, page 40.China, 480-220 BC. Finely worked with an elongated triangular blade (yuan) flaring gently into the flat blade guard. Cast in relief with the profile of the ferocious feline with a gaping mouth, baring fangs, and an extended long curling tongue, all in high relief. The ears and forelimbs bent with the body incised on the shank. The end of the yuan pierced with two rectangular chuan (apertures), the tang (nei) with a circular chuan. A rectangular tang with foliate incisions projects from the guard ending in a double curve 'E'-shaped edge.Provenance: Michael B. Weisbrod, New York, USA.

Extensive wear, weathering and erosion, nicks and cracks, shallow surface scratches, possibly minor old fills. Fine, solid patina with distinct malachite and cuprite encrustations. Presenting remarkably well overall.Weight: 396.4 g (excl. stand)Dimensions: Length 27.4 cm With a modern stand. (2)The ge dagger-axe was found in burials from the early Shang through the Warring States period. It came to be a ritual object and a part of the requisite ceremonial paraphernalia of a courtier. According to James Menzies, by the early Western Zhou, “its inclusion in the attire of nobles and officials at all formal functions may be presumed”; and in addition to other Shang and Western Zhou rituals, it may have been used in ceremonial war dance, celebrating the Zhou conquest of the Shang (Menzies, the Shang Ko, pp. 314-316). The ge was also frequently pictured on bronze vessels possibly as a clan emblem.Although the tiger appears on blades of the late Shang and early Western Zhou periods, the feline and the shape of the tang on the present lot indicate a product of a different culture. Manufacture of ge with triangular blades discontinued in the Central Plains area of China by the middle Western Zhou period. The type seems to have persisted in the kingdoms of Ba and Shu in modern Sichuan province through the Warring States period. Many of these excavated ge from this area have E-shaped tang which did not appear among the Shang or Western Zhou blades. Tigers are frequently seen as motifs on the various types of ge and other weapons of the Ba-Shu area. This may be related to the legend that when Lin Jun, first ancestor of the Ba tribe, died, his soul was transformed into a white tiger.Literature comparison:Compare profile tigers similar to this lot which are reproduced in Tong Enzheng's “Investigations of the bronze ge from Southwest China” (Kaogu Xuebao 1979, no. 4, pp. 442, fig. 1:6, pp. 447, fig. 3; see also Wenwu 1976 no. 3, p. 41 fig.2 and pl.

However, Burton deems it more likely that this is a tavern bottle with the initials relating to the tavern keeper and discusses a number of possibilities.

A very rare sealed half size 'Shaft and Globe' crested wine bottle of Scottish interest, circa 1645-55Of green tint covered with an attractive golden iridescence, the squat bulbous body with a slightly tapering neck with a prominent string rim positioned well down from the lip, applied to the shoulder with a circular seal moulded with a swan proper surmounting an earl's coronet, within a beaded border, with a shallow basal 'kick-up', 17.4cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceRecovered from the River ThamesBBR Auctions, 9 July 2000, lot 139With Neil WillcoxA C Hubbard Jr CollectionLiteratureWard Lloyd, A Wine Lover's Glasses (2000), pp.106-7, pls.152 and 154David Burton, Antique Sealed Bottes (2015), pp.1340-1The crest on this seal might be attributable to Sir John Wemyss, 1st Earl Wemyss (1633-1649), who was elevated to the barony on 1 April 1628 and earldom on 25 June 1633, both of which are Scottish honours. Upon his death he was succeeded by his only surviving son David, 2nd Earl Wemyss (1610-1679). Following the death of David, the title became dormant as both of his sons had died young. Whilst this seal could be attributed to either Earl, the form of the bottle is early and possibly pre-dates 1750, suggesting that it may have been commissioned by the 1st Earl. However, it remains more likely that it was commissioned by the 2nd Earl, Son David Wemyss, to mark his elevation to the earldom upon the death of his father in 1649 together with his marriage to Lady Eleanor Fleming in April 1750. No other bottles bearing this seal are recorded by Burton.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

A rare magnum 'Shaft and Globe / Onion' transitional wine bottle, circa 1685-90 Of dark olive-green tint, the generous wide bulbous body narrowing inwards towards the base, the tapering neck applied with a prominent string rim, a 'kick-up' to the base, 19.6cm high Footnotes: Provenance With Neil Willcox, 2 April 2002 A C Hubbard Jr Collection The magnum size of this remarkable bottle is exceptional for this early period. No magnum bottles of true 'Shaft and Globe' form would appear to be recorded, so this is likely to represent the earliest form used for bottles of this large capacity. It is a testament to the skill of the glassblower considering the challenges posed by blowing bottles of a such large size at such an early date. Another example of magnum size is illustrated by Willy Van den Bossche, Antique Glass Bottles (2001), p.69, pl.6(2) and was sold by Bonhams as part of the A C Hubbard Jr Collection on 20 June 2023, lot 27.

In 1740 six ships and two merchant vessels with 1900 men, under the command of Commodore Anson, were sent to harass Spanish ships off the western coast of South America, and thus cut their supply routes from the Pacific Area. The voyage was fraught with sickness and deaths among the crew, attacks by Spanish ships, storms and mutinies, but nevertheless successfully captured a Spanish galleon off the coast of the Philippines which yielded an immense treasure of over 34 tons of silver. After a brief pause in Canton, Anson started his voyage back to England in December 1743, rounding the Cape of Good Hope in April, arriving in England in June 1744.
