A PAIR OF RETICULATED JADE ‘DOUBLE-DRAGON’ PENDANTS, HUANG, EASTERN ZHOU DYNASTY

Published: Jean-Paul Desroches, Two Americans in Paris: a Quest for Asian Art. Lienart editions: Paris, 2016, p. 59, no. 119.

China, 4th-3rd century BC. Finely carved in openwork, the arc-formed pendants each decorated on one side with dragon heads in profile at each end, detailed with minute incision work depicting the fangs, teeth, hair, and eyes. The main body neatly reticulated depicting stylized phoenixes standing face-to-face with an aperture above each phoenix for suspension. The semi-translucent stone is of a celadon hue with icy inclusions, dark gray shading, and alteration.

Provenance: From the Sam and Myrna Myers Collection. Sam and Myrna are first generation Americans, who shared a taste for collecting beautiful objects of art. On a trip to Ascona, Switzerland, the couple stumbled into a small antique shop which started their journey of collecting antiques. When Sam Myers was sent to Paris by his law firm in the mid-1960s, he and his wife Myrna became so enamored with the city that they decided to make it their home. There, over the course of 50 years, they built an extraordinary art collection, and in 1976, Myrna opened a gallery in Paris specializing in Asian art. Their collection spans a wide range of precious objects from Chinese jades, ceramics, textiles, Indian ivory carvings, to Japanese clothing and lacquer, some of which was exhibited in the Kimbell Art Museum. Part of their collection was sold at Sotheby’s, London ‘Two Americans in Paris, The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers’, on 4 November 2021. The couple also worked together with jade expert Filippo Salviati to create one of the most outstanding jade collections globally and authored several books on jade, including ‘Radiant Stones’ (2000), ‘The Language of Adornment’ (2002) and ‘Genèse de l’empire céleste’ (2020).
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear. Signs of weathering and erosion, small chips, nibbling to edges, remnants of pigment, repair to the snout of one dragon head. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks.

Weight: 10.1 g and 8.8 g
Dimensions: Length 9.7 cm and 9.4 cm
