STATUETTE DE CHAKRASAMVARA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, XVIIE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 4631 29 cm (11 3/8 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF CHAKRASAMVARA TIBET, 17TH CENTURY 西藏 十七世紀 銅鎏金勝樂金剛像 Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sThis exceptional gilt bronze depicts the meditational deity (yidam) Chakrasamvara (lit. 'Wheel of Bliss') comprised of male and female enlightened beings depicted in a sexual embrace, symbolic of the transcendent bliss that skilled Tantric practitioners experience on completion of the Chakrasamvara Tantra. Visualized as gendered embodiments of perfected wisdom (female) and compassion (male) merging into a perfected, interpenetrative union, youthful Vajravarahi leaps onto Samvara, wrapping her thighs around his waist in a 'suspended' (avalambitaka) maneuver described in the ancient writings of the Kama Sutra. He pulls her in close, returning her impassioned gaze. With the same primary arms he uses to cradle her, Samvara crosses the vajra and ghanta implements in his hands in the vajrahumkara gesture, signifying the frontally obscured successful integration of Buddhism's two highest qualities. The sophisticated quality of this sculptural ensemble betrays a Newari master artist in the service of Tibetan patrons. Painstaking care has been given to delineate each attribute held in Samvara's twelve hands, including a disembodied head with long strands of hair and a loosely gathered lasso. A criss-cross bone apron replete with inset turquoise covers Vajravarahi's rear, leading the eye below to the thickly-gilded garlands of expressive skulls and severed heads. A towering openwork mandorla emblazons the composition while a beaded lotus base with long, supple petals support the Hindu gods, Bhairava and Kalaratri, subdued underfoot by Chakrasamvara's awesome supremacy. The Tibetan inscription located at the back of the base, which translates to 'Tashilima', suggests this sculpture was commissioned for Tashi Lhunpo monastery in Shigatse, Central Tibet (see Luo, 'Tashi Lhunpo Statuary: Karma and Mt Meru', in Bonhams, Hong Kong, 26 November 2019). Tashi Lhunpo is the traditional monastic seat of the Panchen Lama, the Gelug order's second-in-command, and maintained a particularly close relationship with the Qing court during the reign of the Kangxi emperor (1662-1722). When the Fourth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Chökyi Gyaltsen (1567-1662), became the abbot of Tashi Lhunpo in 1607, he enlisted artisans to lay the foundations of a settlement nearby the monastery. Known as Tashikitsel, this village consisting of workshops dedicated to varying disciplines provided Tashi Lhunpo with a steady stream of building materials, textiles, paintings, and gilt bronzes for the greater part of the 17th and 18th centuries. Compare the similar treatment of the mandorla and garland interwoven with skulls and heads to closely related examples such as a Begtse Chen sold at Christie's, London, 12 April 1988, lot 139; a Hayagriva in the Musée Guimet (von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p. 455, no. 125F); and a Vajrabhairava sold at Bonhams, Hong Kong, 29 November 2016, lot 13. Lastly, compare the slender proportions of a parcel-gilt Chakrasamvara, published in Uhlig, On the Path to Enlightenment, Zurich, 1995, p. 168, no. 112.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A PAIR OF BLACK LACQUER AND DECORATED SIDE CHAIRS MID 18TH CENTURY each decorated overall with flowers and utensils, with yoke-toprail above an 'India-back' splat and padded later drop-in seat covered in tangerine floral material,on square cabriole legs and feet, refreshments to the decoration, the seat rails supported, five ears replaced 112cm high, 52cm wide, 60cm deep overall Provenance: Christie's, Fine English Furniture, 18th September 2003, Lot 208 The earliest recorded chairs of this form with distinctive 'India' or 'bended' back is a set of twelve walnut chairs, listed in the 'Right Hand Parlour' at Canons Ashby House, Northamptonshire in November 1717. However, chairs of Oriental inspiration were listed as earlier, as 1677 in the Duchess of Lauderdale's Closet at Ham House, Surrey. They were described as 'painted black and gold...wth.Cane bottomes' and were en suite with a table and 'Indian boxe'. The Duchess' Black and fret-backed chairs were likewise gilded with flowers and birds appropriate to such an apartment, and the lacquer-fashioned 'japanning' of their frames corresponded to the fashion later popularised by Stalker and Parker's Treatise of Japanning and Varnishing in Imitation of the Indians,London, 1688 (P. Thornton,'Ham House', Furniture History, 1980.fig.87). The source of the splat is almost certainly China, as seen of Chinese Chairs of the Qing dynasty (c.1550-1600), and known as 'guan mao shi yi' which translates as 'shaped like an officers hat', in reference to the form of the toprail, similar to a milk-maid's or oxen's yoke. Furthermore, the japanned surface of the present chairs may have served to enforce their oriental nature, yet with the combination of the squared cabriole leg, the chairs are placed comfortably in the group of English seat-furniture datable to the 1720s, which demonstrated the ability of English furniture-makers to absorb and recreate diverse stylistic sources and create something characteristically English (A.Bowett,'The india-backed chair, 1715-40', Apollo, January,pp.3-9)An almost identical japanned chair at the Victoria and Albert Museum is illustrated in Bowett. ibid.,p.7,fig,8.

These chairs were probably commissioned by Thomas May. Through the East India Company, for the newly-built house at Godmersham. The May armorial crest, 'a leopard's head out of a ducal coronet', is displayed within the serpentine cartouches. A cup bearing the crest of Thomas May is illustrated in David S.
