A Chinese twin handled blue and white double gourd vase, Qianlong moulded seal mark, relief decorated with dragons and a phoenix, 24.5cm high; together with another Chinese relief moulded twin handled vase, 28cm high; and a pair of Chinese white marble lion dogs, 14.5cm high. (4)
A set of three Chinese Export padouk chairs, circa 1735, after a design by Giles Grendey, each pierced and shaped back with an acanthus and shell carved top rail and a central vase splat, above a leather inset seat, on shell carved cabriole legs and claw on ball feet at the front, each 101cm high, 57cm wide, 56cm deep These chairs represent a fascinating early example of hardwood furniture of Cantonese manufacture made to an English design. As Carl Crossman explains in his The China Trade, this furniture may have been made to special order, perhaps for a member of the British East India Company posted in China or on Macao, another company outpost. The fact that furniture of this type and early date is a rarity, is supported by the Company's ledgers which only lists a few dozen pieces per year during the 1720's and 1730's. The current chairs also very likely formed part of a larger set. Other side chairs of this model have previously been sold: Christie's, New York, 21 October 1999, lot 174 (a single, $32,200); Parke-Bernet Galleries, Inc., New York, 4 April 1970, lot 149 (a single). In more recent times, a closely related single armchair was sold Christie’s New York, Two Distinguished American Collections, 4-5th March 2014, lot 520 (20,000). Other similar examples are illustrated in C.L. Crossman, op.cit., Woodbridge, Suffolk, 1991, pp. 231 and 233, pl. 83-85. The chair pattern directly copies an English prototype of the same date which can be attributed to the workshop of cabinet-maker Giles Grendey. A walnut armchair related to this design from the Percival Griffiths Collection, is illustrated in R.W. Symonds, English Furniture From Charles II to George II, 1929, p.149, fig. 95, later sold from the collection of Frank Crozer Knowles, Christie's New York, 22 October 1988, lot 243 ($220,000). For further related examples of Chinese Export chairs made to English designs and a discussion thereof, including a set of chairs made for Matthew Decker, a Director of the East India Company (1713-1743), see Adam Bowett, Early Georgian Furniture 1715-1740, Antique Collectors Club, 2009, pages 47-50. Please note: These chairs possibly incorporate Huang huali (wood).
