Sworders

Lot 45

A pair of grand tour bronze urns by the workshop of Benedetto Boschetti, mid-19th century, Italian, each body decorated by trailing ivy and gadrooned detail, set between a pair of ram head handles, on a spreading circular base stamped 'B. BOSCHETTI ROMA', raised on a black and serpentine marble plinth,19cm wide15cm deep39cm high (2)The workshop of Benedetto Boschetti, active c.1820-1870 on the Via Condotti in Rome, was well known for the high quality of its works 'after the antique'. The workshop had a strong reputation and, in 1856, S Bonfigli noted that 'The establishment is particularly conspicuous for its great variety of marble works, bronzes etc' (A González-Palacios, 'The Art of Mosaics', 1982, p.166) and the works produced were highly sought after by the young and wealthy 'grand tourers' of the 19th century. Considered ‘the most eclectic virtuoso and certainly the most visionary of all the marmorari', Boschetti himself is recorded as having won a prize medal at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, and a bronze 'Augustus Caesar' from his workshop was exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Condition ReportOne has sustained a bit of damage in transit, resulting in the upper part of the marble plinth becoming detached, as well as the body of the urn having come unscrewed from its base, with the screw threaded - both of these issues could do with professional attention in order to rectify them. That said, both stand properly and no damage is visible when standing. Otherwise, both with general light knocks and surface wear. Some chips and knocks to corners and edges of marble plinths. Small crack to the damaged marble plinth. General wear commensurate with age and use.

Chinese School, 19th CenturyStudies of flowers including peonies and camellias and butterflies in flightA set of twelve within ebonised and gilt decorated framesWatercolours on pith paper 20 x 32cm (7 13/16 x 12 9/16in).12Footnotes:Provenance: Berkshire Furnishings, WiltshireChinese pith pictures represent a particular moment in the relationship between China and the European countries she was beginning to trade with. At the beginning of the 19th century access to the country for traders was limited, with Canton (Guangzhou) on the Pearl River in South China being the only port open to foreign merchants. As demand for Chinese products (notably silk, porcelain and tea) grew, an influx of ships and their crews descended on Canton.Enter pith pictures; a light, bright and easily transportable memento produced by Canton based artists specifically for the ordinary sailor or ship's mate wanting to take back a small token of their travels. Traditionally bound in albums in thematic groups, the most popular subjects included flowers, birds, boats, and traditional costume. Although albums do exist, they are now more commonly displayed in framed groups, as can be seen in the following examples collected by Tara Elliot. Often erroneously called rice paper paintings in English, the pith was cut directly from the inner spongy cellular tissue of the small tree Tetrapanax papyrifer, native to southern China and Taiwan, before being cut into thin sheets ready for painting. It had historically been used to make artificial flowers and for Chinese medicine. In studios, artists thickly applied gouache to the translucent surface, thus creating a raised and slightly textured effect with brightly coloured pigments. These studios flourished between the 1820s and 1860s, with an estimate that there were about thirty shops selling pictures near the foreign quarter of Canton by 1835. After the First Opium War (1839-1842) when China was forced to cede Hong Kong to Britain, more ports were opened up to foreign trade thus leading to Canton losing its position as the centre of pith painting and export. Additionally, as photography became more popular and widespread it replaced pith pictures as the chosen medium for souvenirs. As such, the following Lots serve as important emblems of early 19th century trade between China and the world.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
