17cm highNote:Very few similar examples of this type of jar and coverhave been recorded. This rare example of a storagejar and cover would have been used for storingmedicines or valuable items. A very fine comparablejar is illustrated by Carol Michaelson in ‘GildedDragons, Buried Treasures from China’s Golden Ages’,no 82. Towards the end of the Tang dynasty (A. D. 618-906) craftsmen were producing outstanding examplesof their skills in the shape of cups, saucers, smallbowls and trays, and also hair ornaments such as clipsor combs. They would have been treasures at thetime of commissioning and were destined for the veryprivileged. Prior to the Tang dynasty gold and silver wereconsidered minor to jade and bronze. When theinterest for them grew, gold and silver workshops

opened all over the vast country resulting in a varietyof styles, many of them inspired by the goodsimported via the Silk Route. These goods, made of alarge variety of materials, provided the craftsmen anew source of inspiration, mainly due to theSasanians, who had settled there after the fall of theirempire in the mid 7th century. The Sasanians, knownfor their skill in metalwork, added an invaluable rangeof techniques and styles.The use of animals and other figures as decorationwas relatively new after a long period of variousrepetitive geometric patterns and relief decoration.Inspired by nature around them, the craftsmen wereable to choose freely from the vast flora and fauna oftheir surroundings, and a totally new subject matterwas born. The Tang dynasty has often been referredto as the Golden Age of Chinese art, and this heritagewas carried over into the Liao dynasty.

Literature:A bowl with similar style of decoration is illustrated in‘National Treasure Collection of Rare Cultural Relics’ ofShaanxi Province, 1998, page 26.A box and cover also decorated in a similar style isillustrated in ‘Chinese Gold and Silver in the CarlKempe Collection’, The Museum of Art and FarEastern Antiquities in Ulricehamn, Ulricehamn 1999,pl. 96A jar with similar animal form finials, reversible asfeet, is illustrated by Qi Dongfang, in ‘Research in TangGold and Silver’, page 97The jar was subject to analysis at the Oxford MaterialsCharacterisation Service by Dr Peter Northover (ref.R3359). It was found that the silver was of very highfineness (99.7%) and consistent with other Tang silverin quality.

was the subject of a state cult as protector of the MingDynasty and Yongle famously credited him withenabling him to seize the throne. From 1412 onwardsthe Yongle emperor commissioned a series of templesand shrines to be built on the highest peaks in theMount Wudang area. At the top of Mount Wudang theYongle emperor built Zijincheng or Forbidden City andin 1416 installed in the Golden Hall an image ofZhenwu larger but similar in appearance to thisbronze. When the Emperor commissioned a figure of Zhenwu,the artist questioned how Zhenwu might look, Yonglefamously quipped, ‘Look at me’. He had recently risenfrom a bath, so with bare feet, wet, slicked black hairand a relaxed pose, he modelled for the sculptor,what was to become the known and popular imageand pose of the hero. Another theory is that Zhenwu adopted a relaxed wayto dress his hair and robes whilst in a spiritual retreaton Mount Wudang in Hebei Province. Other theoriesinclude that upon accepting his appointment asEmperor of Heaven he had been in a state of partialdress, combing his hair. After the acceptance, hefound he could not put his hair up, realising that hispresent appearance was now unchangeable. This ishow the depiction of Zhenwu tends to berecognisable, particularly with his long hair flowingdown his back and bare feet. His pose is relaxed, yetimposing, with one hand resting open on his knee, theother hand facing down, at the same time regal yetnot threatening. His robes, opening up at the chest,reveal his armour, a nod to his military past. Hiscelestial scarf flows over his shoulders. He is oftenaccompanied by a dragon and a snake around hisfeet, in this depiction absent. This particular posebecame popular amongst later depictions of othergods such as Guandi, the God of War. A similar figure of Zhenwu but with traces of paint,lacquer and gilding can be found at the BritishMuseum, ref 1908,0725.2. Refer the recent exhibitioncatalogue “Ming 50 years that changed China”, BritishMuseum Press 2014 p. 116 & 117.

7.3cm wideProvenance:Acquired by W. Correya between 1950-1960, who was stationed in the Himalayas as merchant trader at thattime. Thence by family descent.

Note:The tiger tally was an authenticating object given by the imperial court to authorize troop movements. Thetiger was cast in two parts, half remaining at the court and half given to the commander of the troops. Whenit was time to implement a troop movement, the court sent an official carrying the court’s half to checkwhether it fits into the other half. If the two portions tallied, the army could be activated. A similar example, excavated in 1975 from the southern suburb of Xi’an city, can be found in the collection ofthe Shaanxi History Museum. Colin Bowles, conservator and mount maker for works of art by appointmentto Her Majesty the Queen, verified the piece to be genuine and of antiquity.

Susan and Michael Gassaway first met Chen Yanning on a trip to China in 1984,when he was Head of the Guangdong Institute of Fine Art. To reciprocate hishospitality, Susan and Michael invited Yanning to visit the UK to view some of theOld Masters of Western Art that he had only seen in books back in China.

Two years later, Yanning arrived in Aberdeen and together with Susan and Michael,he visited the museums in Scotland and London. Yanning made the museumattendants nervous as he wanted to get up close to study the thickness of paint onhis favourite master pieces. He, Susan and Michael communicated by using signlanguage and drawing sketches and quickly established a great friendship.

Yanning was invited to visit the US in the Eighties. When he decided to remain there,Susan and Michael offered to support him by finding portrait commissions for himin the UK. With hard work they amassed a fine collection of portrait commissionsfrom a very wide variety of people, from those who scraped together the moneybecause they so admired Yanning’s talent, to dignitaries including the Lord Mayor ofLondon, Richard Branson, all the Body Shop family and the Royal Family includingthe Queen, Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Anne.

Once, while organising a sitting for the Duke of Edinburgh in Buckingham Palace, aregimental flag was needed. With the help of some palace attendants a broom stickwas found and they managed to prop it up somehow, hidden by the flag. They werechecking the lighting with Susan sitting in the chair to be used by the Duke, when thewhole contraption landed on her head! They fixed it safely before the Duke arrivedand there was no repeat of the comedy moment!

When the Queen had sittings with Yanning, he had chosen The Garter Robes for herto wear. That was fine until the chain of office had to be adjusted on the RoyalBosom. Susan obliged. Later some ostrich feathers fell out of Her Majesty’s hat andSusan had to fix them back in place!

Susan made all the arrangements for portrait sittings, from booking flights, to hotelsand sittings, often several in different parts of the UK during one trip. Sheaccompanied Yanning as the driver and Jill-of-all fixer. During the sessions, Susanwould chat to the sitters placing herself in their direct line of their vision so that theymoved as little as possible and Yanning could concentrate on his work. This is a veryexceptional friendship going far beyond a mere business association.

8.5cm high, 14.6cm longProvenance:Private Scottish collection, reputedly purchased from Robert Howe of St. Andrews inthe 1970’s.

Note:Rhinoceros cups of the late Ming and early Qing dynasty display the artist’s love ofnature and understanding of the fine material before him. The beautiful colour of thiscup is further enhanced by the sensitive modelling and picking out of various leavesand a single insect. A fine example of its type. The plumblossom represents winter andgave a glimmer of hope of the coming of spring at the end of a bleak winter. Pieces likethese were popular with the scholar literati who would hope to own one of these tocontemplate upon, valuing its magical properties - rhinoceros horn was said to be ableto detect poisons.

28.5cm highProvenance:The Danish linguist Vilhelm Ferdinand Larsen M. A. (1867-1960) and thence bydescent

Note:Vilhelm (or William) Ferdinand Larsen was a well-travelled gifted linguist born inCopenhagen. He emigrated to America in 1891 and gained a position teaching Latinand Greek at a school in Los Angeles. Initially intending to teach at Stamford, PaloAlto, his financing fell through and instead he was employed at Berkeley in theFrench department. With time he returned to Denmark teaching at schools there,returning once more to California to teach in 1905 together with his wife and fourchildren. Soon after his return, the school he was teaching at was destroyed in theearthquake of 1906. Larsen became acquainted with a group of Chinese scholarswho encouraged him to take up a post teaching English at the new ImperialUniversity in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Larsen undertook the somewhat periloustwo month journey, during which time he learned Chinese. His wife and childrenjoined him later with great drama, as he was shipwrecked on the way to meetingthem, and their youngest daughter nearly drowned in a freak accident on the river.Nevertheless they settled in Chengdu for four years, a time described in fascinatingdetail in his short memoir. (Available to view. Refer to department.) They livedcomfortably and enjoyed exploring the beautiful countryside of Sichuan. Larsenenjoyed the thriving intellectual hub which Chengdu became and notes the risingsecret revolutionary society of Kuomintang. He saved many lives by helping to hideforbidden documents under the floorboards of his house. As the rebellions grew

worse, the decision was made to flee. The family left hastily in 1910, just beforewhich this vase was reputedly gifted as a farewell gift to Larsen by his friend andcolleague Professor Kung. They had a fraught and perilous journey to Shanghai viaChungking and Hankow. From there on to Beijing where after some time whilst therebellion grew in force and breadth across the country, the family departed Chinafor Denmark on the advice of General Munthe of Boxer Rebellion fame. They tookthe Trans-Siberian Railway travelling through Russia amidst further unrest. Via Berlinthey made their way home to Denmark where he took up teaching at a school inEsbjerg until 1916 when the family yet again moved to America, Larsen first teachingin Chicago and then Florida. In 1952 he retired to Fredriksberg, Denmark and thewell-travelled vase was given to Larsen’s niece Benedicte Mandrup Meyer upon hisdeath in 1960.

We understand that your collection is worth more than the sum of its parts.

Collections sell better as collections. That belief is at the heart of our approach to auctioneering. Over the course of our long history,

we have seen this borne out time and time again: from the contents of grand homes to corporate collections, from contemporary

art to Chinese snuff bottles; there is little we have not handled and sold well.

Each collection is unique and often has an emotional connection to the owners who create or inherit them. Our team work closely

with our clients to provide a carefully tailored approach to the sale of their collections.
