Goldstein, an earlier part of which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong and London in 2015-2016. Hans Goldstein's work during the 1950s took him to all parts of the Far East and this in turn stimulated his interest in Oriental art and in particular Chinese porcelain. His collection developed gradually and initially concentrated on inside-painted snuff bottles. As he became more knowledgeable, he began to collect blue and white porcelain and other Chinese ceramics and works of art. He came to London in the mid-1960s and continued to collect by regularly visiting art dealers and the main auction houses in London.According to The History of the Palace (Guochao gongshi), compiled in the seventh year of the Qianlong reign (1742), vessels decorated with designs of aubergine dragons on a green ground were intended for use by the emperors' concubines of the fifth rank, guiren 貴人.

A FAMILLE VERTE 'LADIES AND THE FOUR ARTS' VASEKangxiOf elegant baluster shape, decorated around the exterior with ladies in a balustraded garden setting engaged in various pursuits including playing encirclement chess or weiqi, the seven-string zither or guqin and other musical instruments, and looking at a painted scroll representing both painting or hua and calligraphy or shu, all beneath a diaper-pattern band with shaped cartouches containing scroll, guqin in its cover, books and weiqi board and pieces, the neck decorated with boys playing with flowers. 44.5cm (17 1/2in) high. Footnotes:清康熙 五彩仕女琴棋書畫圖觀音尊The present vase is notable for its lively enamelling style with the numerous ladies exquisitely detailed, their delicate features offset by richly patterned robes revealing their high cultural status and wealth. The vase is also particularly to be treasured for its subject matter, not only for its lively depiction of the Four Elegant Accomplishments of painting, calligraphy, playing the qin and playing weiqi, but in particular for its depiction of refined ladies enjoying these pursuits. The Four Elegant Accomplishments were codified as highly esteemed cultural activities suitable for the Chinese scholar gentleman, and it is was only from around the 16th and 17th centuries that women could engage in such activities.In later Imperial Chinese society, women were confined to the home and were not encouraged to be educated. During the late Ming dynasty however, against a background of social change and economic prosperity, some women managed to challenge these conventions. The famous late Ming philosopher Li Zhi (1527-1602) even declared in his ironically titled Book to be Burned that women were equally intelligent to men and took female students, much to general surprise. Celebrity courtesans accomplished in the genteel arts of music and literature entered male society, heralding a new model of feminine identity almost equal to the male literati. The present vase reflects this unusual emergence of accomplished females, and celebrates them as being knowledgeable and intellectually engaged, whilst still being refined, delicate and attractively feminine. See S.McCausland and Lizhong Ling, Telling Images of China: Narrative and Figure Paintings 15th-20th Century from the Shanghai Museum, London, 2010, pp.65-67.Another similar vase, also with ladies engaged in the Four Accomplishments, from The Salting Bequest but with a figure of Li Tieguai on the neck, is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, (acc.no.c.11246-1910). See also a related Kangxi vase depicting ladies engaged in the Four Elegant Accomplishments, in The Tsui Museum of Art: Chinese Ceramics IV, Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1995, no.93. Another example from the Grandidier collection in the Musée national des Arts asiatiques-Guimet is illustrated by M-C.Rey, Les Très Riches Heures de la Cour de Chine, Paris, 2006, no.35.

Chinese export porcelain made for the French nobility and Royal Court is relatively unusual compared with the large number of services specially ordered with English coats of arms. In the early eighteenth century in France, only the French Court and noble families of Brittany with trade contracts were able to commission Chinese services. This rare wine cooler bears the Royal arms of France encircled by the chains of the orders of the Holy Ghost and of Saint Michael.The elaborate service of which the present lot was a part, included a wide variety of diverse forms such as candlesticks, spice canisters, tripod bowls, shell-shaped tureens and knife handles. Finely painted in underglaze blue, iron red, black and blue enamels and gilt, the quality of the decoration on this lot gives an indication of the visual impact of the entire service.

Sir Michael's maternal grandparents were Sir Robert Grenville Harvey, 2nd Baronet (1856-1931) and Lady Emily Blanche Harvey (1872-1935) of Langley Park, Buckinghamshire. The Chinese art collection can be, at least in part, traced back to Langley Park, Buckinghamshire, home to the Harvey Baronets from 1788 until 1945.Sir Michael Oppenheimer's paternal family was the well-known South African mining family. The baronetcy was created in 1921 for Bernard Oppenheimer, Chairman of the South African Diamond Corporation for setting up diamond sorting factories to employ wounded ex-servicemen after the First World War. The family has been involved with De Beers over many decades. Lady Oppenheimer DD (1926-2022) was a distinguished moral and philosophical theologian, with a particular interest in the ethics pertaining to personal relationships.The practice of painting on glass and the flat glass itself were both introduced to China between the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Although the glass workshop were established in 1696 in the Forbidden City, no flat glass was produced and when attempts were made, it was reported that the manufacturers did not know how to manufacture it with the adequate materials; see B.de la Martinière, China, its Costume, Art Etc, London, 1813, vol.1. However, the large European mirrors which visiting European dignitaries presented to the Kangxi emperor in 1686, proved to be a revelation to the Chinese. The practice of painting on mirrors developed in China after 1715, following the arrival of Giuseppe Castiglione in Beijing. He found favour with the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors and was entrusted with the decoration of the Imperial Garden in Beijing. He learnt to paint in oil on glass, a technique that was unknown in China previously. Chinese artists, who were already well versed in painting and calligraphy, took up the practice by tracing the outlines of their designs on the back of the mirror plate and, using a special steel implement, scraping away the mirror backing to reveal the glass that could then be painted. Common designs included still lives, birds and groups of figures, usually depicted against backgrounds of rivers or pavilions.Many reverse mirror paintings were exported to Europe, following the increased interest in Chinoiserie style, which found the highest expression in the homes of wealthy aristocrats, such as Saltram House in Devon, owned by Lord Boringdon, and Shugborough Hall, lived in by the Earl of Lichfield; see T.Audric, Chinese Reverse Glass Painting 1720-1820, Berlin, 2020, pp.162-163.Compare with a related pair of reverse mirror paintings, third quarter of the 18th century, with similar gilt wood frames as the present examples, which was sold at Christie's New York, 20 March 2019, lot 820.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

ANONYMOUSA Manchu Hunting Party, 1800-1850Ink and colours on paper, with two collector's seals, framed. 167.5cm (66in) wide x 85cm (33 1/2in) high.Footnotes:1800-1850 佚名 滿族狩獵圖 紙本設色 For the Manchu rulers of the Qing dynasty, hunting wild game enforced their cultural traditions and ethnic identity. The French Jesuit Ferdinand Verbiest (1623-1688) wrote of the Kangxi emperor organising massive annual hunts in pursuit of deer, wild boar, bear, pheasants and tigers. The Imperial hunts (weilie), lasted as long as thirty days and were held at the royal preserve at Mulan. These hunts not only afforded the emperor and his retinue the opportunity to hone their battle skills and test their martial prowess, as archery competitions, mock battles, wrestling and horse racing were also included in the activities. The Imperial hunts also served a diplomatic role, as the emperor would invite other frontier tribes to participate, thus strengthening the bonds between the Qing rulers and the Kazakh, Mongol and Uighur nobles of the Inner Asian frontier.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A RARE IMPERIAL MIDNIGHT-BLUE-GROUND 'DRAGON ROUNDEL' EMBROIDERED ROBECirca 1870Meticulously worked on the front and back in satin stitch and couched gold threads with eight roundels each enclosing a writhing, five-clawed dragon clutching or pursuing the flaming pearl amidst dense trailing scrolls of ruyi clouds interspersed with bats and the eight Auspicious Emblems, all above the terrestrial diagram and lishui stripe at the hem, picked out in vibrant shades of blue, purple, yellow, red, coral and green, the matching dark-blue-ground collar and cuffs worked with further dragons amidst further bats, clouds and waves, lined in blue silk.130.5cm (51 3/8in) long.Footnotes:約1870年 御製石青緞繡八團五爪龍紋袍Provenance: a distinguished Hong Kong private collection來源：香港顯赫私人收藏Delicately embroidered with eight roundels, each enclosing a five-clawed dragons clutching, as opposed to chasing, the flaming pearls of wisdom, the present robe is exceptionally rare and would have been worn by one the highest-ranking female members of the Qing Court.Robes decorated with roundels of dragons on a plain ground are very rare and represent the second of three styles of jifu attire, the first being the more common robes fully embroidered with dragons, clouds, flames and auspicious symbols, whilst the third consisting of garments decorated with dragon roundels but lacking the lishui stripe. The 'Illustrated Regulations for the Ritual Paraphernalia of the Imperial Court' Huangchao liqi tushi皇朝禮器圖式, edited in 1759, confirmed the importance of a new type of robe, the jifu or longpao, as semi-formal court wear and brought the cosmic purpose of Imperial rule into sharp focus. The careful arrangement of sinuous dragons writhing amid clouds and above the universal ocean washing against the earth mountain, embodied royalty and dominion and expressed the visual metaphor of the good ruler who behaved wisely for the well being of his subjects. Capable of flying high in the sky and diving back into the sea, dragons were regarded as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth and credited with extraordinary powers that compared to those of the emperor. Dragons thus transcended the political and ethnic priorities of Imperial government to become universal symbols of the empire. 'Dragon' robes became supreme significant social markers representing access to power. The right to wear such garments depended on rank and status. The Manchu rulers of the Qing dynasty were keen on projecting an evocative and powerful image of themselves, and their court costumes conveyed legitimacy and heritage. Despite their initial reluctance to wear the same type of robes as their Ming predecessors, by the reign of the Kangxi emperor, the Manchu elites were keen wearers of richly-ornamented 'dragon' robes on semi-formal court occasions and official duties. Compare with a related yellow-ground silk robe, mid-19th century, in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, illustrated by R.D.Jacobsen, Imperial Silks.

Starting with the Kangxi emperor, the rulers of the Qing dynasty developed a fascination with European culture and style. Jesuit missionaries, who had travelled to China since the late 16th century, exerted a significant influence on the arts produced at the Qing Court. They worked alongside Chinese artists to develop European ideas and technologies in the Imperial Workshops, including the technique of painted enamel. Such cultural exchange inspired a completely fresh approach to decorated a variety of objects such as porcelains wares, glass wares and metalworks, which continued to develop during the subsequent Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns. Compare with a related painted enamel bowl and cover, Qianlong, in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, acc.no.EA1978.1820. Another example, Qianlong, is illustrated in Painted Enamels, New York, 1969, no.20.A related bowl and cover, Qianlong, decorated with European subjects, was sold at Bonhams London, 10 May 2022, lot 339.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

AN IMPERIAL THANGKA OF SAMANTABHADRAChina, QianlongDistemper on cloth.Framed and glazed. 117cm (46in) high x 74cm (29 1/8in) wide; including the frame 180cm (71in) high x 115cm (45 2/8in) wide. Footnotes:清乾隆 御製普賢菩薩唐卡 Provenance: an Italian private collection來源: 意大利私人收藏The main deity occupying the central position, seated atop an elephant over an elaborate lotus throne, flanked by two masters of the Gelug tradition, identified by the inscriptions as Butui Sheng Zhanglao 不退聖長老 and Anyin Sheng Zhanglao 暗隱聖長老. The present thangka was likely painted in the Imperial Workshops of Beijing for the decoration of the Xumi Fushou Temple in Chengde, which was built outside the capital under the auspices of the Qianlong emperor and Changkya Rolpai Dorje, his Buddhist preceptor. Xumi Fushou Temple was built as a replica of the Tashilhunpo Monastery, for the sixth Panchen Lama's visit to China to celebrate the Qianlong emperor's seventieth birthday (1780). Like his grandfather before him, the Kangxi emperor, Qianlong recognised that the arrival of the revered Panchen Lama to Chengde demonstrated enormous political and religious power in the eyes of the Mongol khans, who were devout Tibetan Buddhists, and who would also be in attendance at the emperor's birthday celebrations. As an outstanding gesture of good will and a grandiose display of his power, the emperor aimed at replicating the Tashilhunpo Monastery, seat of the Panchen Lama in Tibet, in the summer retreat of Chengde, close to the Mongolian borders. The resulting temple was filled with countless paintings, sculptures, and other ritual objects which were made in a style that flourished during the 18th century as a result of the cultural interchange between China, Mongolia and Tibet. The intricate textile designs, the exquisite gold work throughout, the jewelled mandorla, the pastel palette and vaporous ruyi clouds, noted on the present lot, are all features associated with the paintings produced for the Ximu Fushou Tample. See, for example, a thangka of Ratnasambhava, 18th century, from the Xumi Fushou Temple, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, acc.no.B83D6, and a thangka of Sitatapatra, 18th century, in the Museum of Asian Art, Philadelphia, acc.no.1959-156-4.The style and format of the present lot also closely compare with a thangka of Ksitigarbha, 18th century, also attributed to the Xumi Fushou sets, formerly in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was sold at Christie's New York, 12 September 2018, lot 230. Here, close similarities can be noted in the princely appearance of the central figure, backed by multi-coloured rays, seated atop a white animal on a lotus throne elaborately decorated with golden designs on a royal blue ground; note also the similar way of rendering the green cliffs and ornamented trees flowing into the body of water, and the cluster of jewels laid before the central figure, which reflect a Tibetan influence.Samantabhadra is a Bodhisattva associated with practice and meditation. Together with Shakyamuni Buddha and the Bodhisattva Manjusri, he forms the Shakyamuni Triad in Mahayana Buddhism. According to the 'Avatamsaka Sutra', the deity made the ten great vows which are the basis of a Bodhisattva. In Chinese Buddhism, Samantabhadra is known as Puxian. He is frequently seated atop an elephant; he is associated with action and can hold a variety of different attributes such as a vajra sceptre, book, parasol, vase, jewels and others.Compare with a further thangka of Cittavisramana Avalokitesvara, 18th century, painted in the Forbidden City by monk painters, illustrated by T.T.Bartholomew, 'Thangkas of the Qianlong Period', in J.Casey Singer and P.Denwood, Tibetan Art: Towards a Definition of Style, London, 1997, p.116, pl.99.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
