A PARCEL-GILT SILVER LIME CONTAINER, 19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Bhutan. Of circular section, with tiered cover decorated with bands enclosing the Eight Buddhist Emblems, alternating with leafy tendrils, centered on top by stylized blossoms, and a row of petals at the rim, the sides incised with archaic designs and four shou characters. The sides set with loops suspending chains that connect the cover and box. The base neatly incised with a dharma wheel.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Labels: Galerie Hardt, inscribed ‘Kalk Box silber vergoldet; Bhutan um 1850‘, the back ‘1606-04; H:5 B:7 T:7‘, and priced at EUR 325.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, and manufacturing irregularities, the interior with extensive lime residue.

Weight: 149 g
Dimensions: Diameter 7 cm

Such boxes were used to hold lime, usually obtained from imported crushed, burned seashells, which was a necessary part of the betel quid that was chewed as a mild narcotic.
