Description

A BRONZE FITTING, HAN DYNASTY OR EARLIER
This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve

China, c. 1100-256 BC. Finely cast, the angular C-form fragment decorated in relief to the exterior with three triangular panels decorated with confronting kui dragons, the central panel with an additional rectangular panel adorned with a taotie mask flanked by zoomorphic beasts.

Provenance: Galerie Souquet, Paris, 18 September 1956 (according to an ancient family ledger inspected by Cabinet Portier, Paris, France, during their appraisal of the complete de Strycker estate; this ledger remains in the possession of the de Strycker family and may not be copied). Collection of Robert and Isabelle de Strycker,
acquired from the above and thence by descent in the same family. The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France, acquired from the above. Robert de Strycker (1903-1968) was a French engineer who specialized in metallurgy. He was a Stanford graduate, a professor at the University of Leuven, a director of the Institute of Metallurgy at the Université Catholique de Louvain, and one of the most influential members of the faculty of applied sciences. After World War II, he made large contributions to France’s post-war recovery. Robert and his wife Isabelle (1915-2010) first encountered Chinese art at the British Museum during a stay in London in the 1930s. Enamored with the style and beauty, they both decided to study and collect Chinese works of art. In 1938 they eventually began to build their collection, buying from Belgian, Parisian, and English dealers. They kept close contact with the famous English collector Sir Harry Garner (1891-1977) and noted Czech collector and expert Fritz Low-Beer (1906-1976). In 1964, the couple lent 174 objects from their collection to the Belgian city of Leuven’s museum for an exhibition titled Oude kunst in Leuvens Privébezit (‘Old Art in Private Collections in Leuven’), and in 1967, they lent around thirty Japanese objects to the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels for their exhibition Kunst van Japan im belgischen Privatverzameingen (‘Japanese Art in Belgian Private Collections’).
Condition: Good condition with wear and casting irregularities, signs of weathering, small nicks, encrustations. Modified with a central aperture and two sections symmetrically reduced to the sides. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown patina with extensive malachite encrustation.
