Lot 608

A RARE HORNBILL 'COURT LADIES' SNUFF BOTTLE, EARLY 19TH CENTURYOpinion: The superb color and excellent polish of the present bottle suggest that it was created by using the ancient and today lost method of treating hornbill (see detailed note below), giving the material a rich translucency and protecting it from cracking over time. The carved decoration is well rendered and rare to find in such an elaborate manner on hornbill snuff bottles. Finally, the ovoid form, quite different from the rectangular forms commonly found, indicates that this is an early yet fine example from this rare group.China. Well hollowed, the ovoid body supported on a short oval foot and rising to a cylindrical neck with everted rim. Finely carved in relief to one side with a lady drawing curtains to the side and looking out an oval window, framed by a prunus tree. The reverse with another lady resting in a pavilion, a willow tree to her right. The short sides with trees and rockwork, retaining the characteristic deep red color of the outer sheath layer of the hornbill, creating a unique contrast to the inner layer of translucent honey-yellow to pale cream tone.Provenance: Collection particuliere, Eure-et-Loir, France. Condition: Good condition with significant old wear, natural imperfections to the material, few microscopic age cracks, minuscule nibbling to the foot ring. Magnificent natural patina overall.Stopper: Hornbill with black platelet, fine hornbill spoon. The present stopper is most likely original to this bottle.Weight: 23.3 gDimensions: Height including stopper 64 mm, Diameter neck 16 mm and mouth 5 mmHornbill was a highly valued material in China well before snuff bottles came into fashion in the Qing dynasty, after tobacco was introduced from the West in the early 18th century. The precise value is listed in the official regulations of the Ming dynasty, which set it for a single piece of 'ho-ting' (the term given to the material by Ming scholars, writing it with the characters for 'crane' and for 'head') at a thousand cash, the same amount given for half an ounce of precious coral beads, or a fifth of an ounce of rare seed pearls. This also shows that hornbill was worth far more than elephant ivory at that time, for the latter was valued at five hundred cash per pound, while it would have taken a great many pieces of ho-ting to make a pound, especially since the term was sometimes applied to the red sheathing alone.It is thought that there were once two distinct methods of treating hornbill, the solid casque with the tough red sheath that sits atop the upper beak, protecting the brain of the bird. The secret of the first method appears to have been lost but may have involved heating and perhaps permeating the material with some preservative. All known early pieces seem to have been handled this way, including snuff bottles. This treatment preserves the material very well, giving it a rich translucency and strength. We can only infer this preliminary manipulation from the finished product since no direct information about the techniques of treating hornbill ivory has been recorded. Any special methods used by Chinese craftsmen were always kept as closely guarded secrets by the guilds involved to forestall outside competition. The second method involved carving the material directly, which left the surface prone to cracking.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's New York, 10 September 2007, lot 707Price: USD 67,000 or approx.

It is particularly rare, however, to find a ruyi scepter made of porcelain, perhaps due to its natural fragility making it a less suitable material for such a long, slender shape.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 24 March 2011, lot 1610 Price: USD 18,750 or approx.

A private collection in Germany, acquired from the above. Valdemar's Castle was commissioned in 1639 by King Christian IV and was intended as the home for his son Valdemar Christian, who died before the castle was completed. In 1677, Denmark's great naval hero Admiral Niels Juel (1629-1697) was given the title to the castle and the land on TÃ¥singe after his victory over Sweden in the Battle of Køge. The estate was transferred to him as payment for the Swedish ships captured in the battle. Here, his family has remained for 12 generations and almost 350 years. The present owner, Baron Juel-Brockdorff, who is the 11th generation of the Juel family, took over his childhood home from his father in 1971 and resides in the castle with his wife and family. The family's collection includes important paintings, furniture, weaponry, and porcelain from all over the world.

He grew up in Dresden and after World War I, he traveled to Japan and immediately fell in love with the culture. In April 1927, he opened his own first gallery in Berlin. The entire family survived the holocaust, and in the 1950s Tikotin slowly resumed his activities as a dealer in Japanese art. He became, once again, very successful and prominent, holding exhibitions all over Europe and the United States. When he first visited Israel in 1956, he decided that the major part of his collection belonged in that country. In 1960, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was opened in Haifa.

The exterior of the bowl with remnants of a lacquered inscription.Weight: 80 g Dimensions: Diameter 12.4 cmMolded decoration on Ding wares was adopted in the latter part of the Northern Song dynasty and flourished during the Jin dynasty.

A RARE MARBLE LINGA WITH FOUR FACES, PANCHAMUKHALINGA, HINDU SHAHINorthwestern India, c. 8th century. Finely carved with four faces of Shiva around a central domed shaft, all supported on a square base, each head with a slightly different hairstyle, headdress, and jewelry.Provenance: From the collection of Anthony d'Offay. Christie's New York, 19 September 2002, lot 127. A private collection in the United States, acquired from the above. Copies of two handwritten labels, confirming provenance and dating, accompany this lot. Georges Anthony d'Offay (b. 1940) is a retired British art dealer, collector, and curator. In 1965, at the age of 25, he opened his first gallery in London. His personal art collection, valued in excess of £100 million, was donated jointly to the National Galleries of Scotland and the Tate in 2008 with the assistance of the Scottish and British Governments. The various exhibitions of his pieces have been seen by a total of over 29 million visitors. Anthony d'Offay has received The Prince of Wales Medal for Arts Philanthropy (2011).Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear and weathering as expected, some losses, nicks and scratches. Signs of erosion, minor fissures and encrustations. Nicely grown natural patina with a beautiful ivory tone overall.Weight: 3,684 g Dimensions: Height 16.5 cmLingas such as the present lot are extremely rare and were produced under the Shahi dynasties (6th-11th centuries), which ruled in the lands formerly known as the ancient region of Gandhara under the Kushan empire. The most recent analysis of this subject is found in Michael Henss, The Mystery of the 'Hund Statues': An Unknown Chapter of Central Asian Statuary, Arts of Asia, January 2016, pp. 28-43. As exemplified in this sculpture, the hair and regalia still echo the visual apparatus of Gandhara, while the rounder facial features are informed by the Gupta style.The linga is the sign of Shiva, a column connecting heaven and earth representing creative power. This form is thought to indicate a five-faced linga (panchamukhalinga), but the fifth face is invisible as it cannot be comprehended by mortals, so lingas of this type always show just four faces. The linga is the main object of worship in Hindu temples.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams New York, 19 March 2018, lot 3069 Price: USD 75,000 or approx.

Jean-Pierre Rousset (1936-2021) was a French art dealer and the nephew of Robert Rousset (1901-1982), one of the most prominent pioneers of the Chinese art market in Paris. With no children of his own, Robert took his nephew Jean-Pierre under his wing and began grooming him to eventually take over the gallery. He loved to wander with Jean-Pierre through the gallery's exhibitions and storerooms, telling stories about each piece while cultivating his protege's eye. Jean-Pierre was also sent by his uncle to train with the great expert in Asian art and Robert's close friend, Michel Beurdeley, whose numerous publications are still commonly referenced today. When Robert passed away, his private collection was divided between Jean-Pierre and his sister, Anne-Marie, whose part was sold with great success after her death in 2019.

From the front, we are unable to see any cracks. The ivory appears to be fairly flat, with just a little rippling. The colours look good, though we assume there is some slight fading. We can make out some light surface scratches to the surface of the painting.The frame has damage to the back around one of the screw fixings. Some light wear, which is heavier to the back, but the finish is generally in good order. The back has a stamped mark reading 'JA'.
