AN EIGHT-LOBED ‘MYTHICAL BEASTS’ BRONZE MIRROR, TANG DYNASTY

China, 618-907. Finely cast, the central pierced knop encircled by four mythical beasts intricately decorated in high relief: a four-clawed dragon, a prancing chilong, and two phoenixes perched on lotus blossoms, all enclosed by a raised circular rim. The lobed outer rim is quite thick and similarly cast with dragonflies and clouds.

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 ‘Tang’ and an inventory number ‘CB 270.’ 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. Wear, signs of weathering and erosion, some corrosion, tiny nicks, and small losses. The mirror shows a fine, naturally grown patina, which is almost entirely black.

Weight: 435 g
Dimensions: Length 12.7 cm
