拍品描述
Expert's note:This huang demonstrates a notable degree of complexity in both conception and execution, distinguished by its refined workmanship and richly articulated details. It exemplifies a regional style prevalent in eastern Anhui, northern Jiangsu (particularly the Xuzhou area), and western Shandong. This tradition is characterized by exceptional craftsmanship, intricate carving, openwork decoration, and the prominent use of dragon and phoenix motifs.

This tradition is characterized by exceptional craftsmanship, intricate carving, openwork decoration, and the prominent use of dragon and phoenix motifs.China, ca. 3rd century BC. Of arched form, each extremity finely carved with a detailed dragon head in profile. The slightly open mouths show the teeth and fangs, the eyes are stressed with a slanting line, the snout is pointed and there is a tuft of hair under the chin. The heads, whose contours are highlighted by a plain, narrow band that also delimits the arched section of the pendant, are separated from the rest of the body by another tuft of hair engraved with thin parallel lines.Each side is filled with small comma-spirals carved in relief and linked by incised lines, while the lower section is ornamented with a rope-twist band. The smoothly polished, translucent stone of an attractive greenish-white tone with cloudy inclusions and dark specks.Provenance: The collection of David Taylor, Belfast, North Ireland, passed down through the Taylor family to his descendants. The private collection of Jules Speelman, London, acquired from the above via the English trade. David Taylor (1876-1958) was a prominent British businessman based in Belfast who owned several commercial properties and a substantial portfolio of stocks and shares. During his travels to East Asia in the early 20th century, he acquired numerous jades, including the present lot. His grandfather, Sir David Taylor (1815-1904), was born in Perth, Scotland, and relocated to Belfast in 1842, where he served as mayor in 1867, and again in 1883 and 1884. Jules Speelman is a world-leading dealer and collector of East Asian art with 60 years of experience. In 1964 he joined his late father, Alfred, in the family business which already stretched back three generations to 19th century Holland and expanded into England around the turn of the century. Originally, A & J Speelman dealt with antiques, from European ceramics, silver, tapestries, and furniture to Chinese porcelain, and works of art. With his father, Jules gradually shifted the focus towards Asia and under Jules Speelman's skilled direction, A & J Speelman is now considered amongst the foremost dealers in Asian antiques, with a particular emphasis on figurative sculpture and works of art from the past 2000 years.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, little signs of burial and traces of weathering, minor nibbling.Weight: 34.2 g (excl. stand), 158.5 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Length 13.9 cm (excl. stand), 15.9 cm (incl. stand)With an associated acrylic stand. (2)The huang was one of the most popular artefacts used to adorn the body in the Eastern Zhou period and has its origin in jades crafted during the Neolithic period by cultures which flourished in southern China.
