拍品描述
China. Finely cast with a compressed globular body raised on a spreading foot supported on four paw supports issuing from bovine heads. The body is horizontally grooved below a band of sinuous design evocative of dissolved dragons, the shoulder set with a pair of bovine-form handles, all above the foot decorated with a band of scroll.Provenance: The collection of Howard Phipps, Erchless, Old Westbury, and thence by direct descent to his son Howard Phipps, Jr. Howard Phipps (1881-1981) was the son of Henry Phipps, Jr. (1839-1930), the Gilded Age entrepreneur and philanthropist who made a fortune as a partner in Carnegie Steel with his childhood friend and neighbor, Andrew Carnegie. Together with his wife Harriet Dyer Price Phipps (1901-1981), Howard built Erchless in 1936. Erchless, the Georgian colonial residence named in honor of the Scottish castle frequented by the family, boasted an exceptional collection of Georgian, Irish, and Continental furniture. Like his contemporaries Carnegie, Rockefeller and Morgan, the Phipps decorated their elegant home with fine Chinese works of art, acquiring rare dynastic treasures to display within Erchless' grand halls. Condition: Very good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities. Scattered nicks and scratches, expected encrustations and corrosion, and signs of weathering and erosion, all as expected. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina with areas of malachite and cuprite encrustation.Weight: 2,577 g (excl. stand), 3,618 g (incl. stand) Dimensions: Width 25.8 cm, Height 14 cm (excl. stand), 19.7 cm (incl. stand)With an carved wood stand dating from the Qing dynasty.
