拍品描述
A GILT BRONZE ‘TIGER’ BELT HOOK, GOU, HAN DYNASTY

China, 206 BC to 220 AD. Powerfully cast in the form of a l mythical tiger with almond shaped eyes, surmounted by a tapering hook rising from the top of its head and terminating in a single-horned chilong head, the concave reverse with a circular button.

Provenance: From the private collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, New York. With an old label printed ‘A & S Hartman Collection’ and inscribed with Alan Hartman’s dating ‘Han’ and an inventory number ‘CB 498’. 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.
