拍品描述
A RARE GILT-BRONZE ‘CHILONG AND TIGER’ BELT HOOK, WARRING STATES PERIOD

China, 475-221 BC. The reticulated belt hook is cast with three tigers attacking a central sinuous chilong and another tiger devouring an antelope to the lower end, the surface in gilt. The reverse with a domed knob at the center.

Provenance: From the private collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, New York. The reverse with an old label printed ‘A & S Hartman Collection’ and inscribed with Alan Hartman’s dating ‘W. St.’ and an inventory number ‘CB 292’. Alan Hartman (1930-2023) was an influential American art dealer, who took over his parents’ antique business in Manhattan and established the legendary Rare Art Gallery on Madison Avenue, with further locations in Dallas and Palm Beach. His wife Simone (née Horowitz) already served as assistant manager of the New York gallery before the couple married in 1975, and together they built a renowned collection for over half a century and became noted art patrons, enriching the collections of important museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (which opened the Alan and Simone Hartman Galleries in 2013) as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum in New York. Alan Hartman has been described as the greatest antiques dealer of our generation, and was widely recognized as a world authority in Chinese jade, bronzes, and Asian works of art.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, small nicks, minor dents, light scratches, rubbing and losses to gilt, the top of the hook with a small old repair. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown patina with
malachite and cuprite encrustations particularly to the reverse.

Weight: 180 g
Dimensions: Length 15.4 cm
