A very rare grey limestone head of Buddha ShakyamuniTang Dynasty, Longmen Caves, 7th century ADThe smoothly carved face with meditative expression, the heavily lidded eyes down-cast beneath elegantly arched brows, the straight nose above gently curving lips, the hair carved as wavy curls, all between long pendulous ears, the stone of dark-grey tone, wood plinth stand. 38cm (15in) high. (2).Footnotes:唐，七世紀 龍門石雕釋迦牟尼佛首像Provenance: a French private collectionChristie's Paris, 7 June 2011, lot 346A UK private collection來源：法國私人收藏巴黎佳士得，2011年6月7日，拍品編號346英國私人收藏This large and strongly carved head bears features from the transitional phase of development at the grottoes of Longmen, as the site activity resumed after a long hiatus following the fall of the Northern Wei dynasty. Official sponsorship and further expansion began with renewed energy at the end of the Northern Qi to the early Tang period, and indeed, the present head shows stylistic traces inherited from the early Tang sculptural experimentation. The shallow carving of the eyes, whose lids emerge in low-relief bowed lines from small rounded inner canthi, are similar to the large heads from that site.The Southern Binyang Cave (Cave 159), begun in the Daye reign of the Sui dynasty, was expanded during the reigns of Taizong and Gaozong during the Tang dynasty, and completed by AD 641. The monumental chief pentad of Amitabha flanked by Ananda, Kasyapa and two bodhisattvas in the Southern Binyang Cave all have large open eyelids within squared faces with thicker flatter lips. See Complete Works of Statues in Longmen Grottoes, vol.1: Binyang Cave, Beijing, 2002, fig.273. As such, the present head seems to be related in proportion to the heads of the Buddhas within the larger niches of the flanking walls. Compare fig.288, the large right bodhisattva on the back wall, fig.317, the central Buddha in niche 13, the largest niche on the left wall, and fig.467, the central Buddha in niche 51, the largest niche on the right wall.Two Longmen heads with triple-spiralled hair in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, are also related to the present head. See Longmen Liusang Diaoxiang Ji, 'The Lost Statues at Longmen Caves', Shanghai, 1993, figs.47 and 63, and Hai-Wai Yi-Chen, Chinese Art in Overseas Collections, Buddhist Sculpture II., Taipei, 1990, figs.59 and 114.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A rare huanghuali throne-shaped mirror-stand, jingtai17th/18th centuryThe back in three sections, high in the centre flanked by two lower curving panels, each with extending protruding crest rails terminating in dragon heads, enclosing openwork panels with floral meander of leafy blossoms, railings on the sides and front, the centre left open, the platform set with six drawers behind two doors, carved on the front with floral scrolls. 79cm (31 1/8in) high x 59cm (23 1/4in) wide x 38.4cm (15in) deep.Footnotes:十七/十八世紀 黃花梨寶座式鏡台Provenance: Livio Borghese (1874-1939), 11th Prince of Sulmona, Prince of Rossano, Prince of Vivaro, Prince of Montecompatri, Duke of Palombara, Duke of Poggio Nativo and Castelchiodato, head of the House of Borghese, Italy, and thence by descent.來源：意大利蘇爾莫納第十一任親王，羅薩諾親王，維瓦羅親王，蒙泰孔帕特里親王，帕隆巴拉公爵，波其奧納蒂沃及卡斯特爾基奧達托公爵，意大利博爾蓋塞眾議院議長，利維奧·博爾蓋塞（1874-1939）舊藏，並由後人保存迄今Prince Livio Borghese was an Italian diplomat from the end of the 19th century until his death in 1939, serving in China as an Ambassador in 1907, the Ottoman Empire and other European countries. It is likely that the present lot was acquired during his service in China. His elder brother Prince Scipione Borghese (1871-1927), 10th Prince of Sulmona, was famous for winning the 'Peking to Paris' car race in 1907.Mirror stands bearing a similar shape, such as the present example appear to have been inspired by the design of floor screens with fixed bases and inset panels. These stands were usually placed on the dressing table of a Court lady. The mirror would have stood leaning against the middle panel and would have been held up with the detachable carved U-shaped support, while the drawers were used for storage of cosmetics and ornaments.Examples of larger five-panelled mirror stands similarly carved in openwork, but with a further balustrade on the rectangular plinth, include one illustrated in Chinese Hardwood Furniture in Hawaiian Collection, Honolulu Academy of Arts, Honolulu, 1982, no.46; and two very fine examples of this type, one in the Palace Museum, Beijing, are illustrated by Wang Shixiang, Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, Hong Kong, 1990, pls.E31 and E32.Compare with a related huanghuali throne-shaped mirror stand, 17th/18th century, which was sold at Christie's New York, 20-21 March 2014, lot 2289.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
