A large late 16th, early 17th century sculpture of Our Lady with the Child Carved wood with traces of polychromy and gilding Portugal, late 16th, early 17th century (right hand of Child Jesus of later date) Nossa Senhora com o Menino Escultura de grandes dimensões Em madeira com restos de policromia e douramento Portugal, séc.

A D. José (1750-1777) Portuguese silver plaque, 1768. Chiselled and partly-gilt decoration representing Pentecost. Signed and dated at the front “Ludovicus Jozephy fecit in Ulyssipone anno 1768” and at the back “Luis Jozé de Almeida a fez em Lxª 1768”. The silver work is exceptionally executed in relief showing Our Lady in the throne surrounded by the Apostles and Mary Magdalene, above the group the descent of the Holy Spirit as a dove throwing flames is surrounded by stars; architectonic ground in perspective. Rocaille silver frame with floral, shell and architectonic motifs and two reserves: one at the base with the inscription: “REGINA APOLOLORUM” and the one at the top with a royal crown in gold. Silk lined rosewood frame. (minor defects, minor bruises and the cross of the crown is missing) Note: Originally this plaque might be part of a silver lined piece of furniture as was usual at the 18th century, possibly a church tabernacle. For its exceptional characteristics of design and execution stressed by the presence of the royal crown this work is surely a royal commission. In our opinion this plaque might be part of the commission for the Capela Real da Ajuda. At S. João Baptista’s chapel in S. Roque’s church, Lisbon a mosaic by Mattia Moreti after card by Agostino Massucci (1691-1758) depicts a very similar scene. Luis José de Almeida is mentioned in SANTOS e Irene Quilhó, Reynaldo dos “Ourivesaria Portuguesa nas Colecções Particulares”, pp. 268 and 272. Provenance: Late Pedro Costa Collection Placa D. José em prata portuguesa do séc. XVIII, 1768 Prata relevada, cinzelada e parcialmente dourada representando Pentecostes. Assinada e datada na frente “Ludovicus Jozephy fecit in Ulyssipone anno 1768” e no verso “Luis Jozé de Almeida a fez em Lxª 1768”. A cena está excepcionalmente executada em relevo com Nossa Senhora entronada, rodeada pelos Apóstolos e Maria Madalena, sobre este grupo desce o Espírito Santo em forma de pomba cuspindo línguas de fogo e rodeado de estrelas, fundo arquitectónico em perspectiva. Enquadrada por moldura rocaille repuxada, cinzelada e gravada com motivos vegetalistas, concheados, frisos arquitectónicos e duas reservas: uma na base com a inscrição “REGINA APOLOLORUM” e outra no topo com coroa real em ouro cinzelado. Moldura em pau-santo forrada a seda adamascada. (pequenos sinais de uso e mínimas amolgadelas, falta da cruz da coroa) Nota: Originalmente esta placa poderia fazer parte de um móvel forrado a prata, como era usual no séc. XVIII, possivelmente de um sacrário. Pelas suas excepcionais características de desenho e execução reforçadas ainda pela presença da coroa real que encima toda a cena esta obra é seguramente uma encomenda real. Em nossa opinião esta peça poderá ter feito parte da encomenda da Capela da Ajuda. Na Capela de S.João Baptista na Igreja de S. Roque existe um mosaico de Mattia Moretti representando uma cena muito semelhante segundo óleo de Agostino Massucci (1691-1758). Luís José de Almeida é referenciado in SANTOS e Irene Quilhó, Reynaldo dos “Ourivesaria Portuguesa nas Colecções Particulares”, pp. 268 e 272. Proveniência: Antiga Colecção Pedro Costa. 38x22 cm (prata)

An Important Jiajing armorial dish, ca. 1530/50 Zhangzhou, Fujian/Guandong provinces Ming dynasty, Jiajing period circa 1530/50 Chinese porcelain Blue underglaze decoration depicting a central medallion formed by a sinuous dragon with spiralling tail, encircled by Buddhist emblems and stylized foliate pendants and enclosed by a thin band of floral springs alternating with further emblems or dots, the rim with a border interlocked x-forms. The reverse decorated with five medallions intercalated by clouds and scrolls, two medallions depicting teh IHS emblem within a crown of thorns, one with the inverted Royal Portuguese Arms and the other two with birds in a landscape. Some authors attribute the IHS insignia to the Jesuits that adopted it at the creation of the order by Saint Inácio de Loyola in 1534, others think that in this particular case IHS refers simply to Jesus traditional monogram. This dish is part of a small group of pieces, example of the first Portuguese orders for specific purposes. Drawings with Western motifs were handed to craftsmen, such us the Portuguese coat of arms and the IHS emblem, which were later involved in oriental motifs such as mythical animals or flora and Chinese fauna elements. Provenance: Private collection Bibliography: Nuno de Castro, "A porcelana da China e os Brasões do Império", p. 11. A. Varela Santos, "Portugal na Porcelana de China", p. 110-115. Similar examples in Fundação Medeiros e Almeida Collection, Museu do Caramulo, Metropolitan Museum in New York, Topkapi Saray Museum, in Istabul, Princessehof Museum, Holland, and Idemitsu Museum of Arts, in Tokyo. Importante prato covo Zhangzhou, Províncias Fujian/Guandong Dinastia Ming, reinado Jiajing circa 1530/50 Em porcelana da China Decoração a azul sob vidrado representando ao centro medalhão com dragão, cuja cauda se enrola sobre si mesmo, rodeado por elementos budistas e flores de lótus estilizadas. Na aba, cercadura com motivos em "X" Tardoz ostentando cinco medalhões intercalados por enrolamentos de nuvens, dois com pássaros e motivos vegetalistas, um com as armas reais de Portugal invertidas e outros dois com as insígnias IHS inseridas em coroa de espinhos. Alguns autores atribuem o monograma IHS à Companhia de Jesus, que o adopta após a sua fundação por Santo Inácio de Loyola em 1534, outros consideram neste caso tratar-se das iniciais de Jesus em grego ou da abreviatura da expressão latina Jesus Hominum Salvator (Jesus Salvador dos Homens). Este prato faz parte de um grupo reduzido de peças, exemplo das primeiras encomendas portuguesas para finalidades específicas. Às mãos dos artíficies e pintores de porcelanas, eram entregues desenhos dos motivos ocidentais que gostariam de ver representados, tais como as Armas Reais de Portugal ou o IHS, que eram depois envolvidos em motivos claramente orientais, tais como animais míticos ou elementos da flora e da fauna chinesa.
