A GOLD AND SILVER-INLAID 'FIGHTING BEARS' BRONZE MAT WEIGHT, WARRING STATES TO HAN DYNASTYOpinion: While bronze mat weights from the Warring States Period or the Han dynasty are rarer and rarer to come across on the market, it has nowadays become almost impossible to find one with such well preserved and detailed inlay work. The drama of the depiction has been copied over and over during later periods, and for all kinds of purposes, but it has never been achieved again to the extent found in the present lot.China, 5th century BC to 2nd century AD. Boldly cast as two ferocious bears locked in combat, one biting into his opponent's back as this one roars in anguish with his tongue outstretched. Finely inlaid in gold and silver, the two animals with scroll and geometric decoration as well as subtle detailing to their bodies, the sides of the circular base with a scroll band between line borders.Provenance: From a noted private collector in the Pacific Northwest, USA.Condition: Superb condition, commensurate with age. Wear, signs of weathering and erosion, corrosion, malachite and cuprite encrustation, nicks, scratches, losses and cracks. The gold and silver inlays exceptionally well-preserved. A bronze weight of around 2,000 years of age or more in such well-preserved condition must be considered exceedingly rare.Weight: 590.0 gDimensions: Diameter 6.7 cm, Height 5 cmWith a velvet-padded silk storage box. (2)Mat weights crafted from precious materials such as bronze and jade, often gilded or inlaid with gold, silver or gemstones, were produced in sets of four and served a practical function of anchoring down woven mats for seating. Mats and corner-weights were believed to have been used at banquets, even those laid out in tombs. Inlaid animal-form weights were discovered in the tomb of Dou Wan, consort of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan (d. 113 BC), alongside food and wine vessels.The sculptural depiction of animals in combat was introduced to China from the nomadic and semi-nomadic cultures of Central Asia, the Eurasian steppes, and the Ordos region, and was an innovation particular to the Warring States and Han dynasty periods. During the early Western Han dynasty, the imperial Shanglin zoological park and hunting reserve adjacent to the walled city grew in size and importance. Conceived as a microcosm of the empire, it allowed the emperor and his courtiers to observe and study the various species of plants and animals known at the time. The site also served as a venue for orchestrated animal combat for the entertainment of the court.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related silver and gold-inlaid bronze mat weight from the Han dynasty depicting a ram and tiger, illustrated by Jenkins, Mysterious Sprits, Strange Beasts, Earthly Delights: Early Chinese Art from the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Collection, Portland, 2005, page 60, and now in the collection of the Portland Art Museum. Compare a pair of related bronze figures of tigers, with similar gold and silver inlay, but of larger size (29 cm), dated to the Warring States period, illustrated by Christian Deydier, Oriental Bronzes, XXIIIe Biennale des Antiquaires, Paris, September 2006, pages 10-21.Auction result comparison:Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 16 September 2010, lot 886 Price: USD 182,500 or approx.

A GOLD AND SILVER-INLAID BRONZE ARCHAISTIC STEAMER, SONG TO MING DYNASTYChina, 960-1644. Heavily cast, the upper cauldron with two upright loop handles to the rim, decorated with interlocking scroll and confronting stylized phoenixes. The sides with three animal masks flanked by confronting phoenixes divided by short flanges, above pendent stiff leaves, all reserved on leiwen grounds. The shoulders of the three legs cast with stylized large-eyed animal masks, decorated with scroll and lozenge designs. The bronze with a rich, solid, naturally grown, dark patina with scattered malachite encrustations.Provenance: From the personal collection of Dr. David McCay, and thence by descent in the same family. Dr. David McCay was an English physician and later surgeon general with the Indian Medical Service in Bengal, India. He was sent to China during the Boxer Rebellion and served as an army doctor at the Siege of Peking. While in India, he wrote a book titled Investigations on Bengal Jail Dietaries. Upon his retirement, he returned to England with his collection of Chinese bronzes, cloisonné, and porcelain. After his death, his wife gifted his favorite piece, a highly important Wanli garlic mouth vase, among other items, to the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number CIRC.23-1950, where it remains to this day.Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear, traces of age and usage, some casting irregularities, small nicks and losses, light scratches, the undersides of the feet with tiny old fills. The gold inlays are fresh and in very good condition overall. The silver inlays have darkened over time and show expected tarnish. However, we chose not to clean the silver inlays, so to preserve the piece’s impressive natural appearance.Weight: 5,200 g Dimensions: Height 31.5 cmReferring to the importance of reverence to the past in Chinese art, Ulrich Hausmann writes:“Archaic bronzes and their inscriptions, the subject of centuries of epigraphic and stylistic studies by literary men and artists, became inseparable, so much so that since that time scholars writing characters have seen at the back of their minds the image of ancient bronze vessels whose rubbings they had carefully studied. Generations of painters and calligraphers [...] spent a lifetime studying these inscriptions. What could be more fitting than to embellish one's studio with subtle allusions to the magnificent past, or to furnish the ancestral altar with vessels expressing the continuation of their inheritance.” (Quote from Ulrich Hausmann, Later Chinese Bronzes: In Search of Later Bronzes in Documentary Chinese Works of Art: In Scholars' Taste, Ed. Paul Moss, Sydney L. Moss, London, 1983, page 233, requoted again by Hugh Moss and Gerard Tsang in Arts from the Scholar's Studio, The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong and the Fung Ping Shan Museum, University of Hong Kong, 1986, cat. no. 161.)Expert’s note: The present steamer is quite likely to date from the Song dynasty, because the earliest archaistic bronzes generally tend to be the closest in form and design to their archaic prototypes. This is clearly the case here, as shown by the two literature comparisons below, which prove that the present lot is very much in the spirit of its Shang and Western Zhou paragons. The example from the National Palace Museum, Taipei, even has gold and silver inlays just like our vessel, which is unusual for such an early piece. Another important aspect is the superb, naturally grown patina on the present lot with its distinct malachite encrustations. This is beyond doubt not a patina from the late Ming or early Qing dynasty: It not only does closely resemble that of ancient bronzes, but with its unique appearance, reminiscent of savage elementary forces rather than the genteel creations of later periods, essentially makes this bronze an archaic vessel of its own merit.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related prototype for this steamer, also with gold and silver inlays, dated to the Shang dynasty, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, image number K1A002369N000000000PAB. A related prototype, lacking gold and silver inlays, dated to the Western Zhou dynasty, 11th-10th century BC, in the collection of the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in the National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution, accession number S1987.352a-b, is illustrated by Jessica Rawson, Western Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M.
