Little is known of his life except that he became a jinshi degree holder during the Guangxu reign, and was an official in the Department of Criminal Justice.The literati gathering in Orchid Pavilion near Shanyin (present day Shaoxing) in 353 CE, became a symbolic event in literati cultural history, immortalised by the writings of the sage of calligraphy Wang Xizhi (303-361). Wang Xizhi wrote the canonical work of calligraphy 'Preface to Orchid Pavilion', for the poetry written by 42 literati engaged in a drinking contest. As the present lot shows, wine cups were floated down a small winding creak as the men sat along its banks; whenever a cup stopped, the man closest to the cup was required to empty it and write a poem. Apart from the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, the event itself encapsulated an elegant and poetic lifestyle that generations of scholars forever after strove to emulate and represent in paintings such as the present lot.

A RARE TWELVE LEAF COROMANDEL LACQUER DOUBLE-SIDED SCREEN18th century Finely decorated on both sides with garden scenes depicting numerous Immortals and figures from Daoist folklore, one side with Laozi riding his ox, poets, fairies and mythical animals, the reverse with further mythical figures including the Queen Mother of the West, the Star Gods inspecting the Taiji Diagram and the birthday celebration for Guo Ziyi, a Tang dynasty hero, surrounded by arriving guests crossing the footbridge to approach the central pavilion where the hero is also entertained by dancers and musicians, in the courtyard groups of military and civilian officials waiting their turn to pay respects, surrounded by noble families, all below rectangular and circular reticulated panels set on diaper grounds, within a floral border interspersed with rectangular, fan-shaped and circular cartouches depicting further figures and flowers. Each leaf 292cm (115in) high x 54cm (21 1/4in) wide (12).Footnotes:十八世紀 款彩樓閣園遊圖十二開屏風Provenance: a US West Coast private collection來源:美國西岸私人收藏The term 'Coromandel lacquer' was originally coined for this type of Chinese lacquer by Europeans who mistakenly thought that it originated from the Indian Coromandel Coast, as a result of its passing through the trading ports whilst en route to the West. These screens were highly expensive and laborious to produce, and were intended for use by high-ranking officials, scholars and gentry who commissioned them to commemorate important events such as birthdays. The present lot contains numerous allusions to auspicious events in Chinese myth and legend, and would have been an appropriate birthday gift. One panel, for example, shows the Queen Mother of the West descending from the clouds on a phoenix. She presided over the mythical Orchard of Immortality, whose peaches could rejuvenate Immortals. In time, motifs of the Queen Mother of the West came to represent the wish for longevity.Another scene on the screen depicts a reception or banquet given by General Guo Ziyi (697-781), a celebrated figure who was credited with saving the Tang dynasty by putting down the An Shi rebellion. He was later made a prince and eventually deified in popular culture as a God of Wealth and Happiness. Depictions of Guo Ziyi and his numerous offspring celebrating his birthday were also frequently employed on screens of this kind. There is also a scene of the poet Tao Yuanming (AD 365-427) renowned for his love of wine and chrysanthemums which later, due to his poetry, became a symbol of rustic autumnal retirement. It is probable that the scenes on this screen derived from woodblock prints in popular novels. Several Coromandel lacquer screens decorated with similar scenes of palaces and processions, Kangxi, are illustrated by W.De Kesel and G.Dhont in Coromandel: Lacquer Screens, Gent, 2002, pp.40-44. See also further examples illustrated by M.Beurdeley, Le Mobilier Chinois: Le Guide du Connaiseur, Fribourg, pp.135-142.Compare also with a related twelve-leaf screen with palatial scenes, Kangxi, dated 1691, which was sold at Sotheby's London, 7 December 2016, lot 61.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Although reference to the name gu is frequently found in early ritual texts, it became associated with the present vessel type in the catalogues of antiquities produced by Song dynasty scholars (960-1279). The shape appears to have originated in pottery production of the Neolithic period, which came in various sizes and shapes. The bronze version, however, probably emerged in the Erligang period (c.1510-1460 BC) and became popular during the Yinxu period (1250-1192 BC), when it became an important component of ritual vessels. While gu vessels produced during the early phases of the Shang dynasty were short and stout, decorated with simple taotie designs merely suggested by eyes amidst linear decoration, the refinement of shape and ornamentation took place towards the later phases of the Shang dynasty, as bronze-casting technique gained in skill and experience. By the time that the Shang capital moved from Zhengzhou to Anyang in Henan Province, gu vessels depicted more detailed taotie designs, which were often complemented with new animal shapes. While retaining some early features of the Erligang phase of the Shang dynasty, notably the sturdy trumpet-shaped body, the finely-detailed and lively taotie masks depicted with bulging eyes on the frieze convey a distinctive sculptural appearance and point to a casting finesse more typical of the later phases of the Shang dynasty. A number of comparable examples of gu vessels dating to the late Shang period have been excavated in Henan, Shanxi, Hubei and Anhui Provinces. Compare with a related bronze gu vessel, 13th-11th century, displaying a similarly-shaped body and taotie decoration on the frieze, illustrated by Wang Tao, Chinese Bronzes from the Meiyintang Collection, London, 2009, p.39, no.13.

As described by Captain Dugald Malcolm in the foreword to the 1977 Sotheby's catalogue, his father Sir Neill Malcolm first went to China in 1896. Starting from Leh in Kashmir, the journey to Beijing took seven months. His first purchases were made in Berlin in 1919 and then later when he served in Singapore (1921-1924). Between the First and Second World Wars he visited Beijing a number of times and made a few purchases, although the bulk of the collecting took place in London. Sir Neill Malcolm was a member of the Executive Committee of the 1935-1936 Exhibition at the Royal Academy and lent 16 pieces himself. Since 1953 and prior to being sold in 1977, the collection was on loan to London University, first to the Courtauld Institute and then at the Percival David Foundation, which made the collection available for study to scholars.來源:爵級司令勳章及傑出服務勳章获勋人Neill Malcolm少將(1869-1953年)舊藏聖米迦勒及聖喬治勳章三等勳爵士Dugald Malcolm上尉(1917-2000年)舊藏倫敦蘇富比,「Malcolm收藏中國青銅禮器」專場拍賣,1977年3月29日,拍品編號17紐約古董商Hartman Rare Art倫敦佳士得,1990年12月10日,拍品編號2紐約佳士得,1997年9月18日,拍品編號324歐洲重要私人收藏展覽記錄:Dartington Hall,「Exhibition of Chinese Art(中國藝術展)」,1949年7月9日-8月14日,《圖錄》,編號1倫敦東方陶瓷學會,「Exhibition of Early Chinese Bronzes(早期中國青銅器展)」,1951年,《圖錄》,編號70出版著錄:Dartington Hall,《中國藝術圖錄》,1949年,編號1倫敦東方陶瓷學會,《早期中國青銅器展圖錄》,1951年,,編號70劉雨,盧岩,《近出殷周金文集錄》,卷三,北京,2002年,頁57,圖版597汪濤,劉雨,《流散歐美殷周有銘青銅器集錄》,上海,2007年,圖版146吳鎮烽,《商周青銅器銘文暨圖像集成》,上海,2016年,卷24,頁131,圖版13217Malcolm氏的高古青銅器和陶瓷等中國藝術品收藏,乃是上世紀二十至四十年代英國最為重要的中國藝術私人鉅藏之一。如Dugald Malcolm上尉在1977年蘇富比專拍圖錄前言中所述,Neill Malcolm少將於1896年首次進入中國,但直至1919年才在柏林購入第一件藏品。其於1921至1924年在新加坡履職,一戰及二戰期間也曾多次造訪北京,購買古董,但其大部分收藏還是購自倫敦。1935至1936年,中國藝術國際博覽會於倫敦皇家藝術學院舉辦,Malcolm少將任執行委員會委員之一,並借展了所藏16件藏品。1953年Malcolm少將逝世後,其藏品先後出借於倫敦大學下屬的考陶爾德學院與大維德中國藝術基金會,供學者們研究學&...

They were employed in important ritual performances aimed at paying homage to the ancestors. According to Chinese beliefs, the ancestors were deemed active participants in the life of their living offspring, which they could positively influence if provided with the correct necessities for their own afterlife; see J.Rawson, 'The Power of Images: The Model Universe of the First Emperor and Its Legacy', in Historical Research, no.75, 2002, pp.123-154.According to literature dating to the Song dynasty (960-1279), zhi vessels were ring-footed bronze cups. Compared with other forms of wine vessels the zhi form was a late arrival, probably first appearing in the Yinxu period (1250-1192 BC) but not yet common in Shang burials. By the early Western Zhou period the zhi was part of the regular wine vessel set, along with the jue and gu vessles, and its use appears to have continued after the disappearance of these latter forms; see Wang Tao, Chinese Bronzes from the Meiyintang Collection, London 2009, p.38.Zhi vessels appear to have been cast in two designs: the first type a slender cup similar to the gu beaker; the second form, such as the present example, a fairly low cup, oval in cross-section, with a concave neck and often a lid. The types seem to have co-existed throughout the late Shang and Western Zhou dynasties. The inscription on the vessel fu yi, meaning 'Father Yi', also appears on three bronze jue vessels, 10th/11th century BC, illustrated by N.Barnard and Cheung Kwong-Yue, Rubbings and Hand Copies of Bronze Inscriptions in Chinese, Japanese, European, American, and Australasian Collections, Taipei, 1978, vol.6, nos.937-939.Zhi vessels decorated with a single band of decoration, such as the present examples, appear to be rare.

A RARE ARCHAIC BRONZE RITUAL WINE VESSEL AND COVER, HULate Spring and Autumn Period, late 6th-5th century BCThe slender pear-shaped body rising from a spreading foot, crisply cast in relief with four bands of S-scrolls with curled tips within plain borders, all below a band of upright flat-cast blades around the tall waisted neck, the shoulders set with a pair of taotie-mask loop handles suspending loose rings, each ring with a chain to a dragon-shaped handle, all under a light green encrustation. 36cm (14 1/8in) high. (2).Footnotes:春秋晚期,公元前六至五世紀晚期 青銅羽翅紋提梁鏈壺Provenance: an important European private collection來源:歐洲重要私人收藏According to the 'Rites of Zhou' Zhou Li, hu ritual vessels such as the present lot were used as wine containers during the performance of sacrificial ceremonies in Bronze Age China.Wine vessels were cast in a variety of designs. Vessels like the present example, set on a low ring foot patterned to resemble a twisted rope, with the lid attached to a long chain handle and four movable rings at the neck, have been mainly excavated from central and southern Chinese provinces including Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Guangdong Province. These excavations have shown that actual ropes were passed between the rings around the neck and the corresponding ones on the lid, to hold the lid firmly in place while the vessel was being carried; see Wang Tao, Chinese Bronzes from the Meyingtang Collection, London, 2009, p.96; and J.So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur Sackler Collections, New York, 1995, vol.3, p.250.Compare with a related bronze hu vessel and cover, 4th century BC, of similar form and proportions but with an undecorated body, excavated from Qufu Xian M3 site in Shandong Province, illustrated by J.So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M.

A VERY RARE ARCHAIC BRONZE COPPER-INLAID WINE VESSEL, BIANHUWarring States PeriodThe vessel with flattened oval sides raised on a spreading rectangular pedestal foot, the main faces cast in relief with panels of tight abstract curling patterns arranged in five horizontal bands within copper-inlaid borders, the sides similarly decorated and applied with two taotie masks suspending a ring handle, all below a narrow band on the waisted neck and a copper band on the flared mouth, the body covered with light-green encrustation. 33cm (13in) high.Footnotes:戰國 青銅羽翅紋扁壺Provenance: J.J.

Lally & Co., Oriental Art,《Archaic Chinese Bronzes, Jades and Works of Art》,紐約,1994年六月,編號56Bianhu vessels first appeared as in the Warring States period (457-221 BC), when they formed an important part of religious and cultural rituals aimed at presenting food and drink offerings to the ancestors of powerful families. At the time, various social and political changes were bringing old rituals to an end. One such change was the increasing presence in China of nomadic peoples, and it is likely that the bianhu was inspired by practical vessels used for carrying water on horseback; see J.Rawson, 'Ordering the Exotic: Ritual Practices in the Late Western and Early Eastern Zhou', in Artibus Asiae, vol.73, no.1, 2013, pp.5-76.The intricate interlacing designs noted on the present vessel testify to a highly-developed method of mechanical production that appears to have become the norm during the Eastern Zhou dynasty. At this time, elaborate designs were produced using 'pattern blocks' made of clay, which were carved as the masters from which to impress strips of negative design to fill out the moulds. This method enabled the production of a large number of similarly-decorated vessels, probably intended to impress a socially-prominent audience. In a world of competing courts, conspicuous displays of every kind was the order of the day. For example, the lavish content of the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, the ruler of a small state on the borders of the Chu kingdom, yielded spectacular wine hu containers, in addition to a magnificent set of sixty-five bronze bells; see Hubei Sheng Bowuguan, Zeng Hou Yi Mu, Beijing, 1989.A bronze bianhu, Warring States period, unearthed in 1977 from the tomb of King Cuo of the Zhongshan state, contained an alcoholic drink, further proving the function of this type of vessel at that time; see Liu Jiansheng, Warring States Treasures- Cultural Relics from the State of Zhongshan, Hebei Province, Hong Kong, 1999, p.44, no.7.The lack of a lid on the present example may be explained because many of these covers were originally made from perishable or fragile materials, such as wood or pottery. See a bianhu and cover, Warring States period, excavated in 1975 at Sanmenxia Shangcunling, Henan Province, now in the Henan Provincial Museum, Zhengzhou, illustrated in Zhongguo Wenwu Jinghua Dacidian, Qingtong juan, Shanghai, 1995, p.241, no.864.

A RARE PAIR OF ARCHAIC BRONZE RITUAL WINE VESSELS, HUWarring States PeriodEach vessel of pear-shaped body cast with three horizontal bands of interlocking and confronted dragons, divided by narrower bands decorated with stylised cicada and geometric designs, above a band of twisted-rope designs at the mouth, the neck set with two taotie masks suspending ring handles, the surface with a greyish-green patina with some areas of encrustation. 36cm (14 3/8in) high. (2).Footnotes:戰國 青銅蟠螭紋壺一對Provenance: Vanderven & Vanderven, LE 's-Hertogenbosch, n.180 (label)An important European private collection來源:荷蘭斯海爾托亨博斯古董商,Vanderven & Vanderven,n.180(標籤)歐洲重要私人收藏The present pair of hu vessels is a remarkable example of the creativity associated with Bronze Age design evolution, first developing in the Western Zhou period, after which ritual bronzes continued to become increasingly elaborate throughout the Eastern Zhou period.Bronze vessels hu served as wine containers during the performance of sacrificial ceremonies aimed at worshipping the ancestors. These elaborate vessels were reserved for the highest-ranking members of society and were thus powerful indicators of the power and wealth of their owner. Although hu vessels may have been in use since the Shang dynasty, they became popular during the Zhou dynasty, with many variants being produced at this time. The present vessel exhibits a dense sculptural decoration that is the direct result of the use of 'master decor stamps', also known as 'pattern blocks', which facilitated the mould-making process and brought about specialisation and mass production to meet the rapid commercialisation of the bronze industry. Hu vessels of similar shape to the present example, typically set on a low foot patterned to resemble a twisted rope, have been mainly excavated in Henan Province, in North China. See for example, a hu vessel, late 6th/5th century BC, excavated from an Eastern Zhou burial in Huixiang Zhaogu, Henan Province, illustrated by J.So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, vol.3, Washington DC, 1995, pp.248, fig.42.1.Compare with a similar bronze vessel hu, 5th century BC, in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, illustrated by D.Leidy, How to Read Chinese Ceramics, New York, 2015, p.22, fig.2.1.

A Mughal pale green jade ewer and coverIndia, 18th centuryThe pear-shaped body rising from a short foot, carved in low relief with sprays of blossoming flowers surrounded by meandering leaf stems beneath a band of pendent leaves, with similar designs repeated on the domed cover surrounding a lotus-bud-shaped finial, the body with an integral straight spout. 15cm (6in) long.Footnotes:十八世紀 青白玉雕痕都斯坦式蓋壺Provenance: an important European private collection來源:歐洲重要私人收藏This elegant jade wine ewer is of a rare but known form. The Mughal Empire in India (1526-1857) left a legacy of high-quality worked jades. The Qianlong emperor greatly admired the so-called 'Hindustan' jades, and in 1768, he wrote the Tianzhu wuyindu kaoe, a scholarly text on the geography of Hindustan and the derivation of its name. The area he identified was in what is today India, with the city of Agra at its centre. During the eighteenth century, this area was part of the Mughal Empire and thus the jades from this region are today often referred to as 'Mughal' jades. The decoration of the present vessel may have been inspired by Emperor Jahangir's visit to the beautiful flower-filled valleys of Kashmir in 1620, which prompted the introduction of a new style of drawing on botanical designs.Compare with a related jade ewer, 17th/18th century, in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Exquisite Beauty - Islamic Jades, Taipei, 2007, pl.96. A related white jade wine flask, India, 18th century, was sold at Christie's London, 8 October 2015, lot 143.痕都斯坦即指蒙兀兒帝國(1526-1857);1768年,乾隆皇帝親自撰《天竺五印度考訛》一文,考證發音,定名「痕都斯坦」。在蒙兀兒帝國治下,伊斯蘭玉器逐漸形成獨特的裝飾風格,並於十八世紀後期經新疆源源不斷貢入清廷,令乾隆皇帝讚歎不已。早期的伊斯蘭玉器造形多受金屬器、瓷器影響,本例細流纖長筆挺的造型或源於金屬器。器身的淺浮雕花葉紋,據說是受蒙兀兒帝國皇帝賈漢吉1620年造訪鮮花盛開的克什米爾峽谷後之啟發;以冷硬的玉料讚頌自然界蓬勃的生機,是為痕玉之獨特風格。台北國立故宮博物院一例清宮舊藏十七至十八世紀蒙兀兒帝國玉單柄壺,紋飾相仿,見鄧淑蘋著,《國色天香:伊斯蘭玉器》,台北,2007年,圖版96。 另對比一例印度十八世紀玉無柄壺,售於倫敦佳士得,2015年10月8日,拍品編號143。For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
