拍品描述
Expert's note: Recent research into the dating of carved lacquer has put forward the suggestion that boxes of this type with double key-fret decoration on the rim and relatively large figures or landscape scenes with rock formations on the cover can be dated as early as the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368). The strongest argument in favor of this early dating is the relatively recent discovery of a similar, somewhat larger box in a group of tombs near Shanghai that belonged to the Ren family, of which the latest was datable to 1351 and the earliest to 1338.China, mid-14th to 15th century. Of lobed square form, the cover finely carved in relief with a potted bamboo on a scholar's table, a plantain growing from rockwork behind a fence, and a two layered diaper ground, the upper layer with hexagons enclosing flowerheads, the lower layer of lozenge form. The sides of the cover and box with S-shaped key frets. The interior and base lacquered in black.Provenance: An English private collection. Zacke, Vienna, 9 March 2023, lot 6, sold for EUR 2,860 or approx. EUR 3,000 (adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). Collection of Dr. John Bannard, Nottingham, United Kingdom, acquired from the above and thence by descent. Dr. John Bannard (1941-2023) was a British scientist who started his career at Nottingham University, then moving to The University of Limerick to found the faculty of Industrial Chemistry. He later started his own company, holding patents for the invention of laser activated inks, and the development of medical sterilization inks. His true passion, however, was collecting paintings and works of art, and it was his lifelong ambition to open his own gallery upon retirement, a dream he sadly was never able to realize as he retired at the ripe age of 82.Condition: Ancient wear overall, with an unctuous feel from centuries of handling. Small age cracks, minute nicks and losses, shallow surface scratches. Beautiful, naturally grown patina. All as expected for a cinnabar lacquer box of such high age.Weight: 35.9 g Dimensions: Size 5.5 x 5.5 cmAuction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 2 October 2017, lot 215 Price: HKD 125,000 or approx.
