Description

A LARGE SILVER ‘DUCKS AND LOTUS’ BOX AND COVER, TANG DYNASTY

China, 618-906. The box of circular form, finely incised with a pair of ducks standing side by side in a lotus pond with large blooms and leaves swaying in the wind, encircled at the rim by a band of lotus petals, all on a ring-punched ground, the design repeated on the cover.

Provenance
: From the private collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, New York. With one old label from the Hartman’s inscribed with Alan Hartman’s dating for the present lot, ‘Tang’, and numbered ‘CB629’. Alan Hartman (1930-2023) was an influential American art dealer, who took over his parents’ antique business in Manhattan and established the legendary Rare Art Gallery on Madison Avenue, with further locations in Dallas and Palm Beach. His wife Simone (née Horowitz) already served as assistant manager of the New York gallery before the couple married in 1975, and together they built a renowned collection for over half a century and became noted art patrons, enriching the collections of important museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (which opened the Alan and Simone Hartman Galleries in 2013) as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum in New York. Alan Hartman has been described as the greatest antiques dealer of our generation, and was widely recognized as a world authority in Chinese jade, bronzes, and Asian works of art.
Condition: Very good condition with ancient wear, some tarnish, light surface scratches, few minuscule nicks and dents, minimal warping.

Weight: 81.6 g
Dimensions: Diameter 7 cm

The decoration of a pair of mandarin ducks on this box can be seen on other silver boxes of Tang date, shown confronted side-by-side on a lotus leaf like on the present lot. A pair of mandarin ducks, especially when combined with lotus (yuanyang), conveys the wish for a harmonious marriage, making it a fitting decoration for a lady's silver box.
