Lot 18
Livre impérial en cuivre et son coffret en bois laquéVietnam, XIXe siècle, daté 1858An imperial copper book and lacquered wood bookcaseVietnam, 19th century, dated 1858Each page: 22.5 x 13.5 cm (8 7/8 x 5 1/4 in)Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired by a Dutch banker in Vietnam in the 1960s (by repute)Thence in the family by descentAcquired from the above by the present ownerPrivate collection, USAThe cover pages of the book are made of a single thick sheet of copper, and are finely decorated in repoussée with a fierce four-clawed imperial dragon, standing, front-facing, amidst clouds above raging waters with cresting and foaming waves. The dragon is flanked by a row of flowers in hexagonal cartouches and a bat at each corner of the page. The six inner pages are each divided into five columns finely chased and engraved with Chinese characters. Four copper rings bind the pages and covers together. Born in 1762, Princess Ngọc Du (Công Chúa Ngọc Du, 1762-1820) was the sister of Emperor Gia Long (r. 1802-1820). This book which dates to the 14th day of the 6th month of the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Tu Duc (1858), was made as a replacement of a silver book with which Emperor Minh Mạng bestowed on his aunt the posthumous title of Princess Phúc Lộc (Phúc Lộc Công Chúa Ngọc Du 福祿公主玉瑜) in the 10th year of his reign of Emperor Minh Mạng (1829). Such books for Kings, Queens, Queen Mothers, Princes and Princesses were traditionally made of gold. Books made of silver, gold-plated copper or bronze were used for subordinates and other occupations. They were manufactured by artisans working in workshops attached to the Ministry of Rituals. Such books were kept in a silver or wooden box. They were used to record important court affairs, such as the enthronement of emperors, the establishment of crown princes and empresses, and the conferment of titles and honours upon royal family members and officials. Further to granting rank, this kind of ceremonial book was also intended to be used as an object of posthumous worship that was placed on family altars. Facing financial hardship due to war reparations imposed by France in 1862, Emperor Tu Duc reclaimed all gold and silver books and replaced them with copper ones.
