TWO KESI CIVIL OFFICIAL'S RANK BADGES, BUZI, 19TH CENTURYChina. Comprising two square rank badges, one made for a civil official of the seventh rank, depicting a mandaring duck, the second featuring a peacock, for a third rank civil official.Each finely embroidered with the bird facing the sun as it alights on a rock, set against a blue toned layer of ruyi-clouds, amid precious vessels, bats, and auspicious Buddhist emblems, all above a band of lishui. The images framed by a band of interlocking wan symbols. (2)Provenance: From the collection of General Prosper Clément de Grandprey, thence by descent in the family. General Prosper Clément de Grandprey (1851-1932) was a distinguished French military officer and diplomat. He formed one of the most extensive private collections of East Asian art assembled in France in the early twentieth century. His prolonged postings in China, most notably as Military Attaché to the French Legation in Beijing from 1903, afforded him exceptional access to works of Chinese and Japanese art at a formative moment for Western collecting. After WWI, he devoted himself increasingly to collecting a wide-ranging group of objects spanning cloisonné enamels, Tibetan bronzes, paintings, textiles, ceramics, lacquer, and Japanese swords. After his death, his collection was dispersed in a series of sales at the H?tel de Drouot in 1934-1935, comprising more than 10,000 works of art, including approximately 850 lots from China and Japan. Condition: Very good condition with minor traces of use, one badge comprised of two joined halves, with few loose threads.Dimensions: Size 30.5 x 30 cm (each)By the mid-17th century, rank badges were transferred from court robes to a surcoat worn over them, reflecting Manchu influence on the reform of court dress. At the same time, the form of buzi (insignia badges) became more strictly standardized as square, and their placement on an outer garment required the front badge to be divided vertically to accommodate the opening of the surcoat.Literature comparison:Compare a related civil rank badge with a peacock, third degree, dated 1880, in the Indianapolis Museum of art, Newfields, accession number 16.893.
