Removed from the room where it had been since the 18th century, each strip was cleaned and transposed onto a wooden frame. Having a chinoiserie in your home was a sign of good taste and perfection; it could be painted on woodwork, silk or paper. It was the middle of the 18th century, and trade with China and Europe was very strong, with pieces being made especially for the European market. The trading posts and the Compagnie des Indes transported these coveted works of art, including porcelain, lacquer panels and silk, to the Netherlands, England and France. Although the French sovereigns, the natural protectors of French manufactures, artists and craftsmen, could not openly display their taste for China in the state flats of Versailles, many Chinese or Chinese-style works were displayed in their 'appartements intérieurs' or in their favourite country residences. Louis XV, for example, filled the Château de Choisy, refurbished for him by Gabriel from 1740 onwards, with furniture in Far Eastern lacquer or decorated with varnish, as well as Chinese porcelain, fabrics and wallpaper.France and Holland sent painted scrolls all over Europe to meet demand; we know, for example, that Louise-Elisabeth, daughter of Louis XV and wife of the Duke of Parma, wanted to create Chinese-style rooms at the Reggia in Colorno, so she travelled to Paris three times to acquire Chinese wallpaper and bring it back to Colorno, along with many other items and gifts from her father. These still look good today, although they have been stripped of the objects that accompanied them in Colorno's Chinese room, which ended up in the various Savoy residences between Piedmont and Rome after Italian Unity. What's more, these wallpapers were often reworked to suit European tastes, paving the way for local imitations all over Europe.Commenting on the breakfasts given by Madame de Montaigu, Madame du Bocage wrote that it was very pleasant to invite one's neighbours and friends to a room lined with Peking paper and furnished with Chinese objects.For further reading on the subject see: Emile de Bruijn, Chinese Wallpaper in Britain and Ireland (2018).Madeleine Jarry, Chinoiserie Le rayonnement du goût chinois sur les arts décoratifs des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (1981)Dawn Jaconson, Chinoiserie (1993)This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: WW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
An illustration from a Sat Sai series of Bihari, depicting Krishna and Radha strolling in the moonlight, watched by two gossips Datia, circa 1780gouache and gold on paper, original blue borders lacking, verso two lines of poetry written in black and red ink 181 x 193 mm.Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Maggs Bros., London, Oriental Miniatures and Illumination, Bulletin 41 (August 1987), no. 24 (illus.)Formerly in the collection of the late Zara Bruzzi (probably acquired at Maggs).Bonhams, Islamic and Indian Art, 6th April 2006, lot 428.Simon Ray, Indian and Islamic Works of Art, November 2008, no. 66.Private US collection.The verses on the back of the painting read as follows:What one of Radha's companions said to another:'Is this a wonder I see, dear friend?Both Radha and Krishna in the moonlight-streaked lane,Two, but seeming one,her golden-hued form merging with the moonlight,his dark one with the night's blackness!/(trans. K. P. Bahadur, Bihari: the Satasai, Penguin, 1990, p. 264, no. 585).The Sat Sai or 'seven hundred' verses is a Hindi text of 1662, and focuses on the romance of Krishna and Radha, while also containing verses on neeit (moral lessons), shringara (love), and most importantly bhakti (devotion). Bihari Lal was a poet at the court of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, and was later invited by Raja Jai Singh of Amber to move to his court. It is at Amber that Bihari Lal is supposed to have composed the Sat Sai.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Charles Gerrard ARA (British, 1892-1964), Director of the Sir J. J. School of Art, Bombay (1936-46) Seated Sadhuoil on canvas, signed lower right 97 x 85 cm.Footnotes:ProvenanceSworders, Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, October 1996, the sale of the remaining contents of the Gerrards' studio, where acquired by the seller. Private UK collection, 1996-present.The same sitter appears in another painting entitled Sadhu in the Catalogue of Exhibition of Sculpture and Drawings by Doris Gerrard and Oil Paintings by Charles Gerrard, 4th-9th November 1940, Sir J. J. School of Art, Bombay, plate IX (see fig. 1 in our present catalogue). In the brief listing of works in the exhibition, there appear no. 5, Sadhu, in Gallery I, and no. 32, The Sadhu, in Gallery II, which is the one in plate IX. It is therefore possible that our painting was no. 5 in this exhibition. A review in The Times of India of an exhibition of Gerrard's paintings at the Sir J. J. in November 1940 observed that it encompassed Impressionist and post-Impressionist styles as well as those of 'solid academic traditions'. Sadanand K. Bakre, paying tribute to his direct influence on his own work, was later to comment on Gerrard's skill as a draughtsman, and his use of 'sharp, hot colours'.Several other works by Charles Gerrard have been sold in these rooms: see Bonhams, India in Art, 7th June 2022, lot 92 (the Delhi Gate), and 93 (Still Life); and Islamic and Indian Art Online Sale, 18th-26th May 2023, lot 464 (the Garden of the Director's Residence), and 466 (Female Nude). Also offered in the same sale (lot 465) was a group of pamphlets, sketchbooks and photographs relating to Gerrard and his wife Doris. Charles Gerrard was Director of the Sir J. J. School of Art in Bombay from 1936 to 1946, introducing a keen personal observation of 1930s modernist developments in British and European painting, sculpture, graphic design and architecture. He was assisted in this by exiles from the Nazi regime such as Walter Langhammer and Rudi van Leyden, who with Gerrard directed at the School, invigorated the Bombay Art Society and encouraged modernist and art deco European design amongst local architectural practices and in commercial printing. Despite the pupils' necessarily local origins and inability to travel during the war, Gerrard encouraged groupings of pupils to adopt this eye on Western developments.In 1941 a group referred to as the 'Young Turks' held a show featuring the work of P. T. Reddy, M. Y. Kulkarni, A. A. Majeed, C. Baptista and M. Bhople, artists who regarded themselves as being in modernist opposition to the more Victorian and Edwardian style of Dhurandhar, Haldankar, and Trindade. But more notably in the history of modern Indian art the less tentative group known as the Bombay Progressives emerged. This consisted of Francis Newton Souza (whom, however, Gerrard was forced to expel from the School for his connections with the pro-independence movement), H. A. Gade, S. H. Raza, S. K. Bakre, K. H. Ara and M. F. Husain. Some of Gerrard's pupils retained close ties with Bombay (e.g. K. K. Hebbar and Tyeb Mehta) while others, like Souza and Raza, under his influence embarked for Britain and Europe after the war.Gerrard brought the J. J. to maturity: under enlightened predecessors such as Lockwood Kipling, Solomon Gladstone, Cecil Burns and M. V. Dhurandhar a beaux-arts and arts and crafts traditionality had understandably persisted, but with Gerrard the J. J. became modernist.For discussion of Gerrard and his work, his influence on Bakre and others, and the Bombay art scene at this time, see Y. Dalmia, The Making of Modern Indian Art: the Progressives, New Delhi 2001, pp. 27-28, 189, 240-241; and N.

A FINE AND RARE CHINESE WHITE JADE DISC 18TH CENTURY The circular disc delicately pierced to the centre with intertwined petals forming an elegant flowerhead, carved to one side in low relief with The Eight Trigrams, Bagua, with the names of The Ten Heavenly Stems, Tiangan, in seal script beneath a continuous band of ruyi-heads to the reverse, the stone of an even white tone, 9.2cm. Provenance: formerly a western private collection; and then the Lawrence Collection of jades and hardstone carvings, purchased from Roger Keverne Limited on 23rd October 2007. A copy of the invoice is available. Published: R Keverne, Winter Exhibition 2007, pp.124-125, no.111. The Eight Trigrams consist of broken and solid lines, which represent yin and yang respectively. They were probably first used by ancient diviners and later developed into a system of philosophy. Each Trigram represents a natural force: heaven, marsh, fire, thunder, wind, water, mountain and earth. They also symbolise movement, emotions and human relationships and have been used in China to predict patterns and cycles in nature and humanity. From the Eight Trigrams developed sixty-four hexagrams that are the foundation of one of the most important Chinese classics, the Yijing or The Book of Changes. Each of the Ten Heavenly Stems is associated with one of the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water) and they combine with the Twelve Earthly Branches to form the sexagenary cycle, which is the traditional Chinese calendar based on sixty-day and sixty-year cycles.

Mack Collection, Part 1, Glendining Auction, 18 November 1975, lot 99; SNC September 1986 (678) The provenance of this coin was mis-recorded in the Mack Sylloge; this coin is Ryan 658, but not Ready 42 as given there (the latter coin, imaged in the plates, is quite distinct) - the correct provenance was given in the Glendining sale of 1975. In his corpus, Naismith (2011) correctly records E56.1h as Ready 42, but erroneously follows the Mack Sylloge for E56.k [this coin] recording it as Ready 42 also; Ready 44 is noted by Naismith as an ‘untraced’ example.
