(1736-1795)Published: Weltkunst, Kunst und Technik, Munich, 15 February 1983, vol. 53, no. 4, p. 329 (Bernheimer advertisement, see provenance below).China. The top of the lobed cover is deeply carved within an octafoil panel to depict the rocky landscape of the Daoist paradise populated by the Eight Immortals (baxian), with He Xiangu holding a lingzhi while crossing a bridge, followed by Han Xiangzi carrying a branch of peaches. The other six immortals are shown transversing a bridge in the background with Lan Caihe and his flower basket in the lead.The landscape is characterized by large pines, detailed with rugged mountains, misty clouds, cranes and wutong trees and terraces. The sides of the box and cover are each decorated with eight cartouches depicting a different auspicious flower growing from rocks, separated by a floral spray borne on dense leaves. Provenance: Bernheimer, Munich, 14. Westdeutsche Kunst- und Antiquit?tenmesse, 24 February 1983. A private collection in Niederrhein, Germany, acquired from the above. The Bernheimer business was started by Lehmann Bernheimer (1841-1918) in 1864 with a tiny market stall in Munich, Germany, and swiftly grew into the most illustrious antique and interior decoration emporium in the world. Lehmann's son Otto (1877-1960) took over after his father's death in 1918. With his two brothers, Max and Ernst, Otto traveled to many European countries in search of fine art. Bernheimer's customers were European aristocrats, financiers, diplomats, and artists. They included the Krupp family and William Randolph Hearst. During the Nazi regime, the Bernheimer family emigrated across the whole world. In 1945, Otto Bernheimer returned to Munich, rebuilt his company and fought for the restitution of the family property. Konrad Bernheimer took over in 1977, aged 26, and has moved the business to Old Master Paintings. The Bernheimer Collection counts among the finest art collections in the world, reflecting the erudite quest of four generations to discover the very best of ancient art.Condition: Good condition with minor wear, expected age cracks with associated minor flaking to the lacquer, small scattered touchups to lacquer around the walls and rims, tiny nicks and few bruises mostly to the interior, and few minuscule chips to the base.Weight: 3 kg Dimensions: Diameter 43 cmThis box stands out for its impressive size and exceptional craftsmanship, evident in the richly detailed scene, thickly applied lacquer, and precise carving. It belongs to a rare group of large lobed boxes from the mid-Qing dynasty, all characterized by a central shaped panel featuring a landscape, surrounded by eight lobed cartouches adorned with floral and rock motifs.Literature comparison: Compare a related cinnabar lacquer lobed box and cover carved with a scene of boys at play in the National Palace Museum, illustrated in Carving the Subtle Radiance of Colors: Treasured Lacquerware in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2008, no. 156, and another decorated with figures in a landscape in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Zhongguo qiqi quanji [The complete collection of lacquer], vol. 6, Fuzhou, 1993, no. 224.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 15 September 2017, lot 999Price: USD 125,000 or approx.
