Description

A SILVER-INLAID IRON TOBACCO BOX AND COVER, JOSEON DYNASTY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Korea, 18th-19th century. Raised on four brass feet and fitted with a metal handle to one side, each side richly inlaid in silver with a Chinese character in a rectangular panel surrounded by key-fret and floral diaper designs. The interior lined with wood.

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.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, and casting irregularities, one small loss to the brass fitting to the interior.

Weight: 712 g
Dimensions: Size 11 x 7.4 x 6.8 cm

During the Joseon period, boxes such as the present lot were used by wealthy gentlemen as storage containers for tobacco, which has been grown and smoked in Korea since the early seventeenth century, when it was introduced from Japan. Such boxes are typically decorated with auspicious motifs, like the Double Happiness character on the cover of the present lot.
