A PAIR OF ROSEWOOD ‘DRAGON’ THRONES, QING DYNASTY

China, 1644-1912. Finely carved from rosewood, the thrones set with five panels on the interior enclosing ornate five-clawed dragons above the celestial diagram set within a key-fret frame, representative of the ‘Five Blessings’ (wufu) of old age (wealth, health, virtue, and a peaceful transition from this life to the next). The headrest terminating into a curved scrolling design. The seat with a floating panel above a waist section, the rectangular legs linked by stretchers surmounted by an apron carved with archaistic scrolling vines.

Provenance: Valdemar’s Castle, T?singe, Denmark, previously in the Baron’s sleeping room (LS I 01). A private collection in Germany, acquired from the above. Valdemar’s Castle was commissioned in 1639 by King Christian IV and was intended as the home for his son Valdemar Christian, who died before the castle was completed. In 1677, Denmark’s great naval hero Admiral Niels Juel (1629-1697) was given the title to the castle and the land on T?singe after his victory over Sweden in the Battle of K?ge. The estate was transferred to him as payment for the Swedish ships captured in the battle. Here, his family has remained for 12 generations and almost 350 years. The present owner, Baron Juel-Brockdorff, who is the 11th generation of the Juel family, took over his childhood home from his father in 1971 and resides in the castle with his wife and family. The family’s collection includes important paintings, furniture, weaponry, and porcelain from all over the world.
Condition: Good condition with wear, manufacturing irregularities, natural flaws, small plugged knots, expected age cracks, and few small touchups.

Dimensions: ca. 104.5 x 63 x 52.2 cm (each)
