A CINNABAR LACQUER PEACH-FORM BOX AND COVER DEPICTING ZHONGLI QUAN, 18TH CENTURY

China. Finely carved in the form of a peach, the cover with a central panel enclosed by interlocking bats. Depicting Zhongli Quan walking in a pine grove, holding his fan, wearing voluminous robes cascading in neatly incised folds. All against variously diapered grounds. The base and interior lacquered black.

Provenance: From the collection of Malcom S. L. Burnett and thence by descent in the same family. Commander Malcolm Stuart Leslie Burnett (1904-1984) joined the Royal Navy at a young age and was stationed in the Pacific between circa 1920 and 1940, serving as a commander of the Government Communications Headquarters. During his time in the Asia, he assembled a collection of Chinese works of art which he later brought back to Scotland and eventually passed on to his family.
Condition: Overall good condition with some wear, expected natural age cracks, small losses to the rim, and minute chips to edges with associated old fills.

Weight: 276 g
Dimensions: Width 13.3 cm

Literature comparison:
Compare a pair of related peach-shaped boxes and covers depicting Daoist immortals, with Qianlong marks and of the period, presented by the Qianlong Emperor following Lord Macartney’s Embassy of 1792-1794, illustrated in John Ayers, Chinese and Japanese Works of Art in the Collection of her Majesty the Queen, Vol. 3, 2016, pp. 865, pls. 1988-1989. Compare a related peach-shaped box and cover depicting Li Tieguai, 15 cm wide, dated to the Qianlong period, illustrated ibid., pp. 866, pl. 1990.

Type: Closely related
Auction: Sotheby’s London, 18 May 2018, lot 458
Price: GBP 11,875 or approx. EUR 19,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A carved cinnabar lacquer peach-form box and cover, Qing dynasty, 18th century
Expert remark: Compare the closely related peach form, Daoist immortal subject, and manner of carving with similar hexagonal diaper and central panel, albeit enclosed by a slightly different band of stylized clouds. Note the size (14.5 cm) as well as the condition issues stated by Sotheby’s which include a restored crack and re-lacquered areas.
