AN ARCHAISTIC BRONZE TRIPOD CENSER, DING, 17TH CENTURY

China. The deep rounded body supported on three tall slender legs and rising to a flat everted rim surmounted by a pair of upright loop handles, the exterior cast with a band of stylized mythical beasts above pendent stiff leaves.

Provenance: The Reginald and Lena Palmer Collection, thence by descent to their son William A. Palmer, and thence by further descent. The Reginald and Lena Palmer Collection was one of the most important private European collections of Chinese art during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Reginald Palmer (1898-1970) was the son of W. Howard (1865-1923) and Ada Palmer (1870-1953), and his grandfather established a successful biscuit manufacturing firm known as Huntley & Palmer in 1841, which remained in the family for three generations. The constant commercial success of the firm enabled members of the family to pursue their collective passion for Chinese art. The first pieces of the Palmer Collection were assembled by Reginald’s father, Howard, who kept a collection of 17th century Chinese porcelain in their Victorian mansion in Berkshire, where pieces of fine Chinese art had been kept even prior to its acquisition by the Palmer family. Reginald married Lena Cobham (d. 1981) in the 1920s and began collecting Ming and early Qing dynasty domestic porcelain ware, deviating from the taste of his parents who collected primarily export ware. The couple joined the Oriental Ceramic Society in the 1940s, but despite varying trends in the market and changing tastes of collectors, they continued to focus on collecting Ming and early Qing porcelain up until Reginald’s death in 1970. Their important and sublime collection was hosted in over ten exhibitions by the OCS.
Condition: Good condition with some wear, traces of use, casting irregularities, few light dents, occasional light scratches, minuscule nicks, minor areas of corrosion. One leg with an ancient metal fill, probably inherent to the manufacture. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, dark patina with small scattered areas of cuprite and malachite encrustation.
