A LARGE 'FIVE DRAGON' WOOL CARPET, QIANLONGChina, 1736-1795. Finely woven with a central front-facing five-clawed dragon writhing around a flaming pearl, encircled by two pairs of confronting sinuous dragons, each chasing a pearl, surrounded by swirling clouds, bordered to the long sides with bands of pearls, key-fret, and the Eight Buddhist emblems alternating with floral designs, each end with a terrestrial diagram above lishui stripe.Provenance: From the personal collection of Michael B. Weisbrod, New York, by repute acquired at Sotheby's in the 1990s for approx. USD 30,000. Michael B. Weisbrod is a noted scholar of Chinese art, who has published extensively on the subject over a time span of more than 50 years. In 1972, Michael joined his father Dr. Gerald Weisbrod's Asian art gallery in Toronto, Canada. The father-and-son team opened their New York location on Madison Avenue in 1977, and during the next 45 years the gallery held a significant number of exhibitions, selling to museums and private collectors across the globe, eventually adding further locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.Condition: Overall fair condition with extensive wear, minor fading to colors, losses and tears, possibly minor old repairs.Dimensions: Size ca. 480 x 350 cmWhile the dragon itself is the symbol of the emperor, the number five is most auspicious and represents the 'Five Blessings (wufu)' of old age, wealth, health, virtue and peaceful death. The design of 'Five Dragons' also alludes to the 'Five Dragons of Yanshan (Yanshan wulong)', named after the five sons of Dou Yujun, who lived in Yanshan during the Five dynasties period (907-960), each of whom achieved exceptional success with their father epitomizing the ideal parent.The Eight Auspicious Buddhist Symbols (bajixiang) amongst the dragons in the design are also unusual and suggest the possibility of the rug being used at Buddhist ceremonies or on special religious occasions. However, it also demonstrates the level of creative freedom exercised by artists during Qianlong's reign who were encouraged to produce pieces with one-off designs. See a zitan closet, where the bajixiang is carved amongst dense ruyi-form clouds, from the Qing Court collection and still in Beijing, included in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (II), Hong Kong, 2002, pl. 206, and a red sandalwood throne also carved with dragons and clouds, where the bajixiang is used as a design element on its own, ibidem, pl. 26.Literature comparison: A related Imperial dragon carpet dating from the 18th century is illustrated by R. Soame Jenyns, Chinese Art, Vol. III, Oxford, 1981, no. 18.13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer’s premium – only for buyers within the EU.乾隆大型紅地五龍紋羊毛地毯中國，1736-1795年。地毯正中央盤旋著一條五爪大龍，龍身與龍頭為深藍色，龍爪則是深藍色，龍看上去炯炯有神，面對一顆火珠，氣勢十足。在這條大龍的上下兩側，分佈著四條模樣相似的小龍，這些小龍都面向大龍團團圍住，一派祥和。而在五條龍盤踞的區域外圍，則有規律地分佈著花草、祥雲、五色波紋，圖案豐滿，氣勢恢宏。 來源：美國紐約Michael B. Weisbrod私人收藏，在20世紀90年代以約30,000美元的價格在蘇富比拍賣會上購得。Michael B. Weisbrod是一位著名的中國藝術學者，他在 50 多年的時間裡就該主題發表了大量著作。1972 年，Michael加入了他父親 Gerald Weisbrod 博士在加拿大多倫多的亞洲藝術藝廊。這對父子團隊於 1977 年在麥迪遜大道開設了他們的紐約分館，在接下來的 45 年裡，藝廊舉辦了大量展覽，向全球的博物館和私人收藏家出售作品，最終還在上海和香港開辦分店。 品相：整體狀況良好，磨損嚴重，輕微褪色、缺損，撕裂，可能有輕微的維修。 尺寸：約480 x 350 厘米 龍象徵帝王，數字五是最吉祥，是代表著長壽、財富、健康、美德和安寧的“五福”。此外，地毯上的八吉祥紋也很不尋常，表明地毯可能用於佛教儀式或特殊的宗教場合。同時，它也展示了乾隆年間藝術家的創作自由程度。文獻比較： 一件相近的十八世紀御製龍紋地毯，R. Soame Jenyns，《Chinese Art》，卷III，牛津，1981年，編號18。

A FAMILLE ROSE 'IN THE ARBOR' DISH BY CORNELIUS PRONK, CHINA, 1735-1740 The shallow dish decorated after the Dutch artist Cornelius Pronk's design with the classic topiary garden scene painted in bright enamels, the center depicting a seated figure flanked by his attendant and surrounded by four young boys playing, a pond with ducks and reeds, encircled by a border with cartouches of moths, butterflies, auspicious flowers and fruit, the reverse with an iron-red, stylized lambrequin band with lappets of alternating size, the larger lappets suspending purple enameled pendant tassels.Provenance: From the collection of William Martin Hurst. Philip Suval Inc., New York, 1991. Richard and Maxine Markell, acquired from the above. A copy of the original invoice from Philip Suval Inc., New York, dated 24 September 1991, describing the piece as a porcelain plate decorated with a design by Cornelius Pronk, known as 'in the arbor', dating the piece to circa 1735-1740, and stating a purchase price of USD 5,800 or approx. EUR 12,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Two old labels to the base 'W. Martin Hurst Collection' and '195', and one remnant of an old label. William Martin-Hurst (1876-1941) was the Managing Editor of the Exclusive News Agency. He wrote articles on Yongzheng and Qianlong porcelain, most notably collaborating with George Williamson on The Book of Famille Rose. He was also said to have the largest collection of famille rose eggshell wares, and the aim of his collection was described to be 'in the direction of the finest cabinet pieces'. Philip Suval Inc. was an art gallery, operating from at least 1879 in Southampton, New York, with an additional two locations listed in Manhattan by 1930. They are still in business today, specializing in antique ceramics. Condition: Very good condition with some wear, most of the enamels still very crisp and well-preserved. Few small chips to back of rim, not visible on the front. Manufacturing flaws including pitting, glaze recesses, firing cracks, dark spots, and light warping.Weight: 524 g Dimensions: Diameter 26.1 cmBecause of its strong Western composition and coloring, the 'in the arbor' motif has been attributed to Cornelius Pronk even though no specific drawings have survived. However, there exists a watercolor by Pronk of a tea pavilion in a Haarlem park, dating from around 1730, and it is possible that the artist adapted this earlier effort for the porcelain.The Dutch draughtsman, Cornelis Pronk (1691-1754), was commissioned by directors of the Dutch East India Company in 1734 to produce designs to be transferred on to Chinese porcelain which they hoped would be more successful than Chinese designs. However, due to the expense of transferring his designs onto porcelain, the volume of Pronk's work is relatively small, and his designs ceased in 1738. 'In the arbor' is supposedly Pronk's fourth and last certain design for the Dutch East India Company and was drawn in 1737. For an informative discussion of the use of documented patterns by Pronk, see William R. Sargent, Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics from the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, 2012, pp. 275-293, nos. 146 and 147.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related Pronk 'arbor' dish, 26.3 cm diameter, dated ca. 1735-1740, in the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number CIRC.452-1931.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Amsterdam, 3 October 2012, lot 358Price: EUR 5,000 or approx.

Martin Hurst Collection' 與 '195'，還有一個標籤殘片。William Martin-Hurst (1876-1941) 是一家獨家新聞社的總編輯。他撰寫了有關雍正和乾隆瓷器的文章，最著名的是與George Williamson 合作撰寫的《粉彩》(The Book of Famille Rose)。據說他還收藏了最多的粉彩薄胎器。他的收藏目的被描述為“朝著最好的櫥櫃方向發展”。Philip Suval Inc. 是一家藝術畫廊，至少從 1879 年開始在紐約南安普頓運營，到 1930 年在曼哈頓另外還有兩個地點上市。他們今天仍在營業，專門從事古董陶瓷。 品相：狀況極好，有一些磨損，大部分琺瑯保存完好。邊緣背面有一些小刻痕，從前面看不到。製造缺陷包括點蝕、釉面凹陷、燒製裂紋、黑點和翹曲。 重量：524 克 尺寸：直徑 26.1 厘米 畫面構圖極富西方色彩，“在喬木中” 這個圖案被認為是Cornelius Pronk 的設計，儘管沒有具體的圖畫留存下來。然而，哈勒姆公園的茶館中有一幅Pronk的水彩畫，可追溯到 1730 年左右，藝術家可能將這一早期作品改編為瓷器圖案。 荷蘭插圖家 Cornelis Pronk（1691-1754 年）於 1734 年受荷蘭東印度公司董事的委託，負責製作要中國瓷器上的設計，他們希望這些設計比中國本土設計更成功。然而，由於將他的設計轉移到瓷器上的費用龐大，Pronk 的作品數量相對較小，他的設計於 1738 年停止。“在喬木中”據說是 Pronk 為荷蘭東印度公司設計的第四個也是最後一個特定設計，並且是繪製於 1737 年。有關 Pronk 使用記錄圖案的信息性討論，請參閱 William R. Sargent，Peabody Essex Museum博物館的《中國出口陶瓷珍品》，塞勒姆，2012年 年，第 275-293 頁，第 146 和 147 期。 文獻比較： 比較一件非常相近約1735-1740年普隆克盤，直徑26.3 厘米，收藏於維多利亞與亞伯特博物館，館藏編號CIRC.452-1931。 拍賣結果比較： 形制：非常相近 拍賣：阿姆斯特丹佳士得，2012年10月3日，lot 358 價格：EUR 5,000（相當於今日EUR 6,100） 描述：約1738年中國粉彩普隆克盤 專家評論：比較幾乎相同的主題和明亮的琺瑯。請注意尺寸較小(23 厘米). 拍賣結果比較： 形制：非常相近 拍賣：倫敦佳士得，2013年4月17日，lot 346 價格：GBP 9,375（相當於今日EUR 15,000） 描述：約1738-1740年乾隆早期普隆克盤 專家評論：比較幾乎相同的主題和明亮的琺瑯。請注意尺寸較大(32.2 厘米)。
