Description

A MINIATURE SILVER ‘FLOWERS AND BIRDS’ BOX AND COVER, TANG DYNASTY

Published: Koos de Jong, Small China: Early Chinese Miniatures, 2021, p. 105, fig. 75.

China, 618-907. The small, slightly convex box and cover of circular shape, finely chased against a minutely ring-punched ground. The top and underside both finely incised with scrolling vines and four birds. The sides are encircled with bands of foliate scrolls on a stippled ground.

Provenance: Private collection, France, 2015. Collection of Dr. Koos de Jong, acquired from the above. A Dutch art historian and collector, Dr. Koos de Jong has worked across several cultural institutions in the Netherlands from 1976, serving as the director of the European Ceramic Work Center in Den Bosch between 1999-2009, before retiring in 2009. He has authored hundreds of articles and several books on Dutch fine and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the modern era. His scholarly interests expanded to Chinese material culture, culminating in the 2013 publication of Dragon & Horse: Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond, a pioneering study on Chinese equestrian gear. Continuing this line of inquiry, his more recent book published in 2021, Small China: Early Chinese Miniatures, explores the largely overlooked world of Chinese miniature objects, combining archaeological research with art historical insight.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, minute warping and tarnishing to the silver. The interior with a malachite patina.
