Lot 486
19th-early 20th century AD. A very large canvas Qajar style painting with wooden frame depicting a female sitting on a padded divan with her right hand to her face, left hand holding a small glass, shelf with vase and fruit to the rear; the dress, seat, headdress and bracelets with ornamental bands and jewels; signature at bottom left. Property of an American lady; acquired 1970s-1990s. C.f. Ferrier, R.W. (ed), The Arts of Persia Yale, 1989, pp. 225-231 for a discussion on post-Safavid painting. In the eighteenth century European tastes began to filter into the Iranian court and this is most notable in the Qajar dynasty which took over the rule of the country at the end of that century. The style of painting shows many traditional Persian forms that are apparent in manuscripts, but there is an increase in western style clothing and particularly folk art styles that were popular in Europe at the time. Towards the nineteenth century a more fluid style appears and which remained popular into the early part of the twentieth century. 2.5 kg, 137 x 101cm (54 x 39 1/2"). Fine condition.
Lot 341
Early 20th century AD. A tall bronze decorative vase with high-relief flowers and birds to the body, openwork base with branches and blossom, two lateral handles each formed as a Fo lion modelled in the round; separate ebonised wooden stand. Property of a North East Essex collector; acquired in the 1980s. Vases such as these are generally found in pairs on the altars of Buddhist temples, or as a decorative element on the formal seating area of a high official. The use of these vases originated in China, where again, they are found in Buddhist and Daoist temples, or as a formal decorative arrangement around the seat of a elite member of society, or even the emperor himself. Vases can be seen, along with incense burners, in the throne hall of the Mansion of Heavenly Purity in the Forbidden City, Beijing, where the throne rooms served a ritual function, as opposed to business and administrative roles such as those in India and Europe. 14.9 kg, 81cm overall with stand (32"). Fine condition, repaired.
