A private collection in the United States, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. Robert Hatfield Ellsworth (1929-2014) was a noted Manhattan-based collector and dealer of Asian paintings, works of art and furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties, who had his business and residence in a Manhattan townhouse, which he shared with actress Claudette Colbert. Ellsworth's clients included America's major museums and important collectors, among them John D. Rockefeller III, Sir Joseph Hotung, Herbert Irving, and socialite Brooke Astor, after whom a room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is named. Ellsworth was a supporter of architectural restoration in Huangshan and an honorary Chinese citizen. Shirley Day has been a prominent dealer in early Buddhist and Hindu sculpture since 1973, initially establishing her gallery in the prestigious St James's area of London. Over time, she expanded her international presence by opening additional galleries in Brussels and New York City. Her deep expertise has facilitated the acquisition of significant works by leading institutions worldwide. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of burial, encrustations, nicks, shallow surface scratches, small repairs to the flanges.
