Left: the only single-owner sale of Chinese art this season was the ceramics collection of Roy Davids offered at Bonhams. The former marketing director and head of manuscripts department at Sotheby’s, Davids spent three decades building up his collection. Bonhams’ head of department Colin Sheaf described his tastes in the catalogue foreword as “more towards the English tradition of ‘country-house’ Kangxi… strong in richly-enamelled famille verte and striking blue and white”. As expected, the top price at £80,000 was a Kangxi period baluster vase (pictured in ATG No 2162), which was decorated with a continuous scene of court ladies engaged in the Four Elegant Accomplishments: painting, calligraphy, playing the qin and playing weiqi. Among the other highlights was this 11in (28cm) high Kangxi blue and white ‘garlic-mouth’ baluster vase. The panel decoration combined with the vase’s shape was considered highly unusual; on one side is painted a seated scholar looking out on a rocky river scene, while to the reverse are a variety of antiques, including a vase with peacock feathers, an incense burner, a table screen, a ruyi sceptre, books and scrolls. It had a long list of recorded owners, starting with Richard Bennett, before passing through a number of dealers, other collectors and an appearance in 1960 at Sotheby’s. Davids acquired it for his collection in 2008. It more than doubled hopes to sell for £27,000.

Above: there was fierce bidding at Sotheby’s for this Qing dynasty, Canton painted enamel armorial tea chest dated c.1745. It retains all 21 of its original pewter tea canisters. It was likely commissioned specifically for Swedish royalty and bore a shaped cartouche enclosing the Royal Arms of Frederick, King of Sweden from 1720-51, to the hinged cover. Each side was decorated with various shaped cartouches enclosing birds and flowers, reserved on meandering leafy scrolls bearing composite floral blooms and fruits. It was last offered at auction in the same rooms in 1978 when it sold for £2800. Over 30 years on and estimated at £20,000-30,000, it was secured by the Asian trade for a considerably larger sum of £350,000. It had been consigned from an English private collection.

Left: Bonhams’ mixed-owner offering in Knightsbridge of more affordable Asian art included this 21 x 13in (54 x 34cm) 19th century reverse glass painting of Whampoa Anchorage, the way station between Macau and Canton, now known as Guangzhou. It depicted the view from Dane’s Island of the historical anchorage on the Pearl River, the inlet teeming with merchant ships ﬂying English, Dutch, Swedish and Danish ﬂags. It was one of many reverse glass paintings of foreign merchants, settlements and factories being produced in Canton by Chinese artists from the late 18th century onwards to satisfy demand from the West. Consigned from a Scottish private collection, it sold for £9500 against a £5000-7000 estimate.

18 6th December 2014 auction reports Testing the supply chain

■ Chinese bidders out in force as rooms work hard to find Below: for many, the most spectacular mark and period porcelain offering this season was this pair of goods in maturing market Yongzheng (1723-35) doucai lingzhi wine cups seen at Woolley & Wallis on November 12. Each standing 3in (7.5cm) high, they are delicately painted to gently flaring U-shaped bodies with four pairs of ruyi-heads divided by florets issuing scrolling leaves. They had been purchased by a descendant of the consignor from John Sparks Ltd Roland Arkell during the Second World War. Both Sotheby’s and Christie’s have sold similar pairs of cups in Hong Kong: those at reports Christie’s selling in June 2011 for premium-inclusive HK$3.62m, a pair at Sotheby’s bringing HK$4.6m in October 2013. The Salisbury pair, estimated at £150,000-250,000, topped their sale, selling to a Chinese collector at £310,000. Across three catalogues, Woolley & Wallis offered just over 900 lots posting a hammer total of £2.49m with a sell-through rate of 76%.

THERE is no let-up in interest from a highly-active group of Far Eastern collectors and dealers in the market for Chinese works of art. And auctions in the UK are where they like to buy back their country’s art historical heritage best of all.

But what happens in the London market is invariably mirrored in some way across the shires. While demand shows little sign of abating (this November’s sales were exceptionally well-viewed), the UK supply chain to the Chinese marketplace is Left: this 13in (33cm) Qing being seriously tested. dynasty gilt-bronze buddhistic Each year, as the well of market-fresh figure of a guardian, material from old Western collections modelled riding upon a beast begins to empty, it seems a little harder to with a flailing figure within put together a box-ticking sale of Chinese its mouth, sold to one of four works of art than it was 12 months phone bidders for £26,000 before.

Left: this 12½in (31cm) diameter carved cinnabar lacquer box and cover seen at Tennants of Leyburn on November 14 is probably early Ming dynasty. To all surfaces, it is carved and incised through layers n of lacquer with diverse budding and flowering plants including camellias and lotus. It came from the family of Sir Rutherford Alcock (1809-97) who was appointed Consul at Fuchow in 1844 and Shanghai the following year. Moving to Japan in 1858 where he was Consul-General, he was organiser of the Japanese Display at the 1862 London International Exhibition. The box comes with a hand-written note reading describing Sir Rutherford’s “exceptional opportunities for acquiring choice examples of works of art first hand” at a time following the Taiping Rebellion “when the demand was to all instants non-existent”. It further describes the box as “undoubtedly a very choice specimen”. So it proved when an estimate of £2000-3000 was Above: “In the end we catalogued a vase as being ‘wrong’ and left way behind as bidding reached £65,000. it sold for £10,000 more than it sold for when we catalogued it as being ‘right’. How bonkers is that?” It was three years ago in 2011 when William Rouse of Chiswick Auctions was asked to sell a Chinese blue and white vase with Ming-style decoration. It had been in the family of the vendor (a friend of his mother’s) for over 50 years and a valuation at Sotheby’s in the 1970s had identified it as Qianlong mark and Left: Dreweatts & Bloomsbury’s Chinese Ceramics and Asian Works of period. Art sale held in London on November 10 was dominated by the performance At the time Chiswick didn’t have a Chinese specialist, but advice of this 13in (32cm) high blue and white ‘five dragons’ vase with a Jiaqing seal from various respected sources suggested it was 18th century mark (1796-1820). It is superbly decorated with five extraordinary dragons and the auctioneers catalogued it as such with an estimate of rising above crashing waves in pursuit of a flaming pearl – emblematic of £30,000-50,000. The vase, of a type that has appeared for sale the Five Generating Forces of the Universe, the Five Directions and the Five on a number of occasions in Hong Kong, was ‘sold’ for £64,000 Blessings and, of course, the virtue of emperor. In truth, Jiaqing’s reign was and the ‘sale’ duly reported in ATG shortly afterwards. marred by an empty treasury and the quelling of rebellions. As it turned out, the buyer became concerned it may not be Not every dragon vase on the market purporting to be an Imperial treasure is ‘right’ and failed to pay. The auctioneers issued the buyer with a what it seems and Dreweatts’ specialist Benedetta Mottino was cautious in threat to circulate his name and a photo to fellow auctioneers – her assessment of the vase that she deemed ‘possibly of the period’. It had and he agreed to pay a compensatory payment to get out of the been in a private UK collection since the 1970s and was in perfect condition. deal – but essentially the vase was unsold. The guideline of £8000-12,000 was conservative if sufficient buyers were Mr Rouse’s next thought was to take the vase to the curator confident it was of the period and so it proved. A battle ensued between two of the Percival David Foundation – now based at the British phone bidders before the vase finally sold at £230,000. Museum. Without hesitation, Stacey Pierson declared it ‘not old’ – at best late 19th century – and subsequently the vase was returned to a disappointed vendor with the advice that, that if she still wanted to dispose of it, she should probably hold on to it for a while at least. Fast forward to October 13, 2014, and the vase appeared for sale at Chiswick again catalogued as being 19th century and guided accordingly at £1000-1500 – something of a change from the original estimate. Perhaps needless to say, this time (without any special promotion) it prompted great competition before selling at £75,000 (plus buyer’s premium) to a Chinese phone bidder against a very annoyed underbidder in the room. The auctioneers had taken a £1000 deposit from all those who wished to bid and a perplexed Mr Rouse is glad to report that this time the bill has been settled. “I think this shows that buyers love to find something that they think the auctioneers have missed. When it comes to oriental ceramics it seems that nobody actually knows the answer – and everyone you ask tells you something else.”

Right: when this 2ft 1in (63cm) early 19th century celadon-ground vase was offered at Sworders in April 2013 it ‘sold’ for £3700. The buyer failed to pay. The subject matter is unusual combining the popular ‘Hundred Boys’ engaging in bird fancying and lighting ﬁreworks and the legend of Sima Guang. The tale of the Song historian who, as a boy, saved a companion who had fallen into a large jar by smashing it with a stone is frequently found on Kakiemon, Chelsea and Meissen, although actually quite uncommon on Chinese porcelain. But none of that quite explains why, when this vase was reoffered on November 11-12 with the estimate again set at £1000-1500, it ﬂew to £10,500.

Some of the most eagerly-contested jades offered last month were seen at Dukes of Dorchester. At the core of the November 14 sale – the first 106 lots – was the collection of the late John Walden (1925-2013), who lived latterly in Above: among the highlights of the sale at Salisbury but for many years had been a key figure in the political life of Hong Kidson-Trigg in Highworth, Swindon, on Kong where he worked for the British Colonial Administration before taking November 11-12 was this 18th century yellow and early retirement to become an independent political commentator.

Despite an imperfection in the stone, it flew over hopes of £500-700 to bring £27,000.

Below: estimated at £200-300 but sold for £5200 at Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood in Exeter on October 28-29 was this celadon and russet jade pendant carved on one side with lingzhi and to the other with a ﬁgure playing with a toad. The mount was stamped 18k. The appeal doubtless lies in the legend of Liu Hai, said to possess a specimen of the mystic three-legged toad who would convey him to any place in the world he wished to go. Occasionally the creature would escape down the nearest well, but Liu Hai had no trouble tempting him back out with the help of a line baited with gold coins. The design is deemed a symbol of good fortune and moneymaking.

Top: this 5½in (14cm) wide whitish-celadon and russet jade carved boulder, dated to the early part of the Qing period, sold for £16,000 (estimate £10,000-20,000) as part of the Walden collection at Duke’s. It sold to a Chinese bidder in the room. The decoration of deer, cranes, peaches and pine is rich in symbolism relating to longevity while the combined words for deer and crane can be a rebus for The Six Buddhist Harmonies of heaven, earth, north, south, east and west.

Above left: also at Duke’s this Qing yellowish-green and russet jade carving of a recumbent boy and cat at play in a banana leaf sold to a Chinese bidder in the room for £19,000 (estimate £1000-2000). The warm yellow colour of the stone is highly prized (it is likened to gold and hence to wealth) while the subject has obvious appeal.

The titled inscribed on this seal was her final full title, which was awarded in the fourth year of the Jiaqing reign, when he became the true ruler of China after his father, Qianlong the Emperor Emeritus, died that year. This seal, in a finely polished stone of a greyish green tone with some striations and inclusion, was acquired between 1888 and 1906 by Sir George Sheppard Murray, a Scottish banker, when he was working as the managing director of the Singapore branch of the Mercantile Bank of India. It had, however, failed to sell when offered by a descendant at Woolley & Wallis in November 2011 with hopes of £500,000-800,000. It was reoffered three years later with the low estimate recalibrated to £200,000. Again it failed in the room but was sold immediately after the sale at a price of £150,000.

■ Fewer-big name works at current series but Mod Brit market remains healthy overall Alex Capon reports

THE latest sales of Modern British art in London posted a solid performance, although this year they seemed to lack the stellar material of previous series. Major works by the biggest names in the sector – Spencer, Hepworth, Lowry – were a bit thin on the ground this time and no individual lot broke the £1m barrier, in contrast to sales held over the last few years. Here, even the most expensive work by the ever-popular Lowry was ‘only’ £400,000. Yet, if the overall hammer total for the auctions at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams (25/20/12% buyer’s premiums) was around £7m down on Far left: Figure (Sunion) by Barbara Hepworth – the equivalent sales last year at just over £920,000 at Christie’s.

38 6th December 2014 art market Lavery’s Lido sets new high for beach scene at £570,000 BEACH scenes by Sir John Lavery (1856-1941) are a fairly common feature in the artist’s work, but views of the Venice Lido are few and far between. The Belfast-born painter produced only four known pictures of this location during a short trip staying at the Moorish-style Excelsior Hotel after he arrived in the canalled city in September 1912. While one of the paintings remains untraced, another had appeared at Christie’s in March 1993, selling for £16,500, while a third had sold at Sotheby’s in May 2006 for a premium-inclusive £433,600. The 18in x 2ft 6in (46 x 76cm) oil on canvas here, which appeared at Christie’s Modern British and Irish art evening sale on November 19, was arguably the most elegant work in the group. It came to auction from a vendor whose father is thought to have purchased it in Scotland in the late 1940s. Estimated at £400,000-600,000, it was chased by a number of bidders and was eventually knocked down at £570,000 to an unnamed buyer, the highest price Above: The Bathing Hour, Lido, Venice by Sir John Lavery – £570,000 at Christie’s. ever achieved at auction for a Lavery beach scene.

Above: assembled over 30 years, the collection of Tim Ellis, which formed a separate single- owner sale at Sotheby’s, added to the main run of auctions in the Mod Brit series this autumn. The catalogue for the auction featured striking interior shots of Mr Ellis’s Georgian townhouse in West Square, near the Imperial War Museum in London, showing how the collector had filled the walls with pieces of 20th century British art. The November 19 sale offered the collection almost in its entirety and featured works valued from under £500 to over £50,000. The response was excellent, including from new clients, resulting in all 142 lots getting away. As expected, the top lot was Keith Vaughan’s (1912-77) The Bar II, shown here, which overshot a £80,000-120,000 estimate and was knocked down at £240,000. One of two versions dating from 1953, it had the muted colours and sombre atmosphere present in much of Vaughan’s output and duly made the second highest price ever seen at auction for the artist.

sales in spain and portugal

ASIAN LINKS WITH PORTUGAL Above: Portugal’s trading and colonial past means strong connections with the Far East and the Indian sub-continent, both of which have brought quantities of porcelain and furnishings to Portuguese shores. Two examples of the latter from sales held this year in the Lisbon rooms are shown here. This small 16th century Singhalese-Portuguese ivory casket measuring just 8 x 5½in (20 x 14cm) came up in a sale at Cabral Moncada Leilos on September 22-24. Carved with overall relief decoration of animals in scrolling branches with traces of gilt, the box also has silver mounts engraved with further details and a handle with snake-head terminals. This had the bonus of a highly attractive provenance from the collection of King Fernando II (1816-85), passing via his second wife, the Countess of Edla, through her descendants to the present. All of this helped to take the little carved receptacle to a multi-estimate price of €175,000 (£145,835).

Left: more recently Veritas’ October 6-7 sale featured this 18th century cabinet in teak veneer with ebony and ivory geometric inlay, which is thought to be of Indo-Portuguese origin. Measuring 4ft 3in x 3ft 2in (1.3m x 98cm), it stands on four ﬁgural supports with recumbent lion feet and is ﬁtted with 12 small drawers to the upper part and two short and one long drawer to the lower section. It sold for €55,000 (£45,835).

COLOGNE… Left: the reign of the Yongle Emperor (1403-24) saw major advances in the manufacture of porcelain techniques in China, driven by the ruler’s strong belief in Tibetan Buddhism. The Imperial court commissioned bronzes, lacquer work and votive ceramics in large numbers, some with experimental monochrome glazes. The latter have become exceedingly rare. This 4in (10cm) high stembowl to be offered for sale by Lempertz in Cologne on December 5-6 is one of only four vessels of this type with ‘wintergreen’ glaze, the others being in museums. An added attraction is the incised anhua or so-called secret decoration with lotus motifs, which is only visible at close quarters when the bowl is held up to the light. The bowl, estimated at €60,000-80,000, is one of 160 pieces of Chinese ceramics from the collection of Annelotte Elbrecht (1924-2013) being sold in Cologne alongside the second part of the extensive Kolodotschko collection of netsuke. www.lempertz.com
