Lot 503
A large 19th century Chinese lacquered 'dragon boat' incense timekeeper, the elongated body with elaborate carved giltwood terminals modelled as a dragon head opposing conforming tail plume, the sides decorated in various shades of gilt with shaped panels containing figural scenes within an elaborate scrolling foliate painted field on a deep brown ground and incorporating carved giltwood paw supports, the metal-lined interior applied with evenly spaced U-shaped cross-members to cradle an incense stick (some wear, minor losses), 75cms long. The current lot is a large example of the classic 'dragon-boat' form which were made for domestic use. Such timekeepers were often provided with a simple alarm mechanism formed from a length of string with a metal weight tied to each end. The string would be placed over the centre of the boat with the weights hanging over each side, when the incense stick (cradled within the U shaped depressions to the internal cross-members) burnt down to the position immediately beneath the string it would break causing the weights to drop -often onto a hard metal pan placed beneath the timekeeper. Otherwise is in good condition. CONDITION REPORT: Both the neck and tail sections have breaks through the lacquer with small surfaces losses where the carcass is joined, the head has two open sockets at the rear suggesting that it may have been fitted with horns at sometime. Otherwise finish is generally intact but with noticeable wear to areas of gilt decoration and a few small areas of flaking.
