Sotheby's Parke-Bernet, New York, 26 October 1974, Lot 4. A private collector in New York, acquired from the above. John J. Klejman (1906-1995) was a noted Polish-American collector and dealer who founded the Klejman Gallery in New York in 1950.Condition: Good condition with some old wear, particularly to gilt, minuscule nicks, light scratches, minor dents, small losses.

According to legend, a rich Brahmin named Sumati saw that Dipankara was about to walk into a puddle of water. To prevent him from soiling his feet, Sumati laid his long hair across the puddle. Following this event, Dipankara prophesized Sumati's rebirth as the future Buddha. Images of Dipankara in Nepal are worshipped as icons bestowing charity and protecting merchants.The Three Kingdoms period – the time of the later Mallas – began in 1520 and lasted until the mid-eighteenth century. The complete flowering of the unique culture of the Kathmandu Valley occurred during this period, and it was also during this time that the old palace complexes in the three main towns achieved much of their present-day forms. The kings still based their legitimate rule on their role as protectors of dharma, and often they were devout donors to religious shrines. Kings built many of the older temples in the valley, gems of late medieval art and architecture, during this final Malla period.Buddhism remained a vital force during these times for much of the population, especially in its old seat of Patan. Religious endowments called guthi arranged for long-term support of traditional forms of worship or ritual by allowing temple or vihara lands to pass down through generations of the same families. This support resulted in the preservation of a conservative art, architecture, and religious literature that had disappeared in other areas of South Asia. Newari was in regular use as a literary language by the fourteenth century and was the main language in urban areas and trading circles based in the Kathmandu Valley.Auction result comparison: Compare a related gilt bronze figure of Dipankara, 47.6 cm high, dated 1520-1768, in these rooms in Fine Chinese Art, Buddhism and Hinduism, on 16 October 2021, lot 379, sold for EUR 22,000. 尼泊爾馬拉王朝後期三國鼎立時期罕見鎏金銅燃燈佛尼泊爾，十七至十八世紀。精美鑄造燃燈佛成三摩地冥想狀態，佛祖左手飾與願印，右手施無畏印，身披半肩式過膝大褂，裙褂上簪刻紋路精細，裙擺自然舒展。面容安詳，眼瞼下垂，眉毛微微拱起，眉間白毫，兩側是長長的耳垂，佩戴著精緻的耳環。 頭戴五葉冠，頭髮成螺髻。 來源：紐約J.

A stained beech chair, early 20th century, in the Louis XVI style, with floral embroidered seat and back, raised on cabriole front legs.Alan Bennett (1930-2021) was an enormously respected, Cornwall-based antiques dealer.Alan Bennett started working in the antiques trade in the early 1950s for Parker’s of Blackheath before joining Harrod's Antiques Department. He moved to Cornwall in 1954 and opened his own shop, gradually expanding and offering one of the largest selections of antiques in Cornwall. He was assisted in the business by his wife Winifred, son Justin, and a team of restorers. He retired in April 2007.He was a man of refined manners, always impeccably dressed and he bought pretty, elegant things across the board, Dresden china and pierced silver Bon-Bon baskets but also brightly coloured Staffordshire figures, although it was the furniture that really fed his passion and he specialised in good quality Georgian and later furniture.David Lay reminiscences: "He would sit in the front row bidding with awesome discretion. Nothing as vulgar as a nod or wink. His demeanour told me he was bidding but of course, I knew his taste. I knew when he “should” be bidding. Often Winifred would view with Alan, the perfect couple.Happy memories of a different age. "Through his 50 years in the trade, he amassed an eclectic collection of very good quality art and antiques, many of which we are delighted to be offering here at Lays Auctions across various sales.
