A LARGE ‘LION AND GRAPEVINE’ BRONZE MIRROR, TANG DYNASTY

China, 618-907. Finely cast in the center with a crouching beast-form loop surrounded by a band of six recumbent lions amongst fruiting grapevines, surrounded by a band with birds, geese, dragonflies, and butterflies amid further grapevines continuing onto the narrow border with twisting leafy vines.

Provenance: From the private collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, The reverse with an old label inscribed with Alan Hartman’s dating ‘Tang’ and an inventory number ‘L. 47-2675’. 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: Excellent condition, commensurate with age. Wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, corrosion, small nicks, minor losses. The silvery bronze with a solid, naturally grown patina showing distinct malachite encrustations.
