A PAIR OF HUANGHUALI 'MEDITATION' CHAIRS, CHANYIEach with an elegant plain frame forming a low back and slender arms supported at right angles on straight front posts, the large hard-mat square seat above humpback stretchers with pillar-shaped struts.86cm (33 7/8in) high x 74cm (29 1/8in) wide x 74cm (29 1/8in) deep. (2).Footnotes:黃花梨禪椅一對Provenance: a distinguished European private collection來源：歐洲顯赫私人收藏Notable for their understated elegance conveyed by their linear beauty and geometric simplicity, the present chairs are clearly inspired by an earlier prototype in the Ming dynasty. Chairs of similar form had been used since the sixth century. The low-back armchair serving as seat for the abbot or high prelate depicted on a mid-sixth century stele on the wall of a Buddhist cave in Dunhuang, for example, has a similar design to the present chairs, except for the higher back; see S.Handler, The Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1992, p.14, fig.1.6. Surviving literature dating from the sixth century refers to these 'meditation' chairs as 'woven seats' shengchuang or shengzuo. According to the 'Record of Buddhist Monasteries', completed in AD 547, Buddhist monks practiced stillness, eating the wind and submitting to the Way as they sat cross-legged on rope seats shengzuo, in quiet meditation rooms nestled amidst luxurious gardens containing exotic fruit trees and fragrant azaleas; see W.J.F.Jenner, Memories of Loyang, Yang Hsuan-chich and the Lost Capital', Oxford, 1981, pp.493-534. A devotional handscroll of Buddhist images by Zhang Shengwen, executed between AD 1173 and 1176, depicts Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of the the Chinese Chan Buddhist sect, seated on a similarly-shaped chair but fashioned from gnarled branches.Because of their deep seat and horizontal back rails, 'meditation' chairs made it difficult to sit comfortably on them, therefore, they were often used with separate backrests. In addition, judging from the contexts in which they were depicted, these chairs could be used in religious as well as secular contexts. See a woodblock illustration to 'Efficaceous Charms from the Tianzhu' Tianzhu lingqian, and 'Ximen Encounters a Barbarian Monk', a woodblock illustration to 'The Plum in the Golden Vase', dating to the Ming dynasty, depicting a scholar meditating in his garden in the lotus position, illustrated by S.Handler, Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1992, p.33, figs.2.8 and 2.9.A similarly-shaped huanghuali 'meditation' chair, 17th century, formerly in the Museum of Classical Chinese furniture in Renaissance, California, is illustrated by S.Handler, The Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1992, p.26, fig.2.2.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Très rare miroir en faïence de Delft, vers 1680A very rare Dutch Delftware mirror, circa 1680In moulded high-relief with a grotesque mask at the top supported by putti arising from the wild baroque foliage, mirrored scrolling foliage on both sides, the top with a larger round hole and two smaller ones likely for fitting a metal candle bracket, 38.6 cm. x 31.4cm diam. (the mirror a later replacement)Footnotes:Provenance:The Ivan B. Hart Collection;Sold at Rob Michiels Auctions, Bruges, 28 March 2015, lot 103;Private European CollectionLiterature:Aronson, R. and Brouwers, E., Dutch Delftware, The Ivan B. Hart Collection, Aronson Antiquairs, Amsterdam, 2013, no. 3, p. 10This rare mirror is one of only four examples of Dutch Delft mirror frames currently recorded; the other three are in the collection of the Rijksmuseum (BK-NM-12400-95, BK-1959-55).Delftware pieces made for the interior were often based on metal examples, such as candlesticks and wall sconces. This mirror, too, appears to be based on a late 17th-century wooden or metal model, and at least partly influenced by the work of Daniel Marot (1661-1752), the great French-born Dutch Baroque architect, furniture designer and engraver.These kinds of precious objects were often associated directly with the Royal Court of William and Mary, for whom Marot designed the palace interiors at the Dutch Royal Palace of Het Loo from 1684. Exceptional designs and objects were found among the items excavated at Het Loo and listed among the 'Delft porcelain' in the inventories. A courtly poem on the Gelderland Castle of Rosendael by Johannes d'Outrein (1662-1722) suggests that it is highly likely that much of the Delftware was made or designed to Queen Mary's specifications. In the stanza on the queen's closet he refers to 'porcelain vases, which have been made to order for this place by the great queen Mary'. This closet was a small pavilion in the garden of Kasteel Rosendael that was dedicated to Mary and was probably a gift from the Queen to her courtier, Janne Margriete van Arnhem (1635-1721), shortly before Mary left for England. Unfortunately, it was dismantled and is known only from descriptions. The mirrors in Jan d'Outrein's poem were fitted in the wall: 'Het Midelst vercierd met d'heldre spiegelglasen, Waar in sig't kabinet ten tweedenmaal vertoont' (see A.M.L.E. Erkelens, Delffs Porcelijn' van koningin Mary II, 1996, pp.28-29).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Greta Magnusson-Grossman (1906-1999)'Back of the Quail Garden', signed, oil on canvas, 49.5 x 39.5cm, and companion, a pair (2) Greta Magnusson-Grossman (1906-1999) was a renowned Swedish architect, interior and furniture designer. In 1933 she became the first woman to win the Furniture Design Award from the Swedish Society of Industrial Design, and throughout the 1960's she was a prominent figure in the world of experimental architecture. She moved to Los Angeles in the 1940's where she opened the Magnusson-Grossman studio on Rodeo Drive with stars such as Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo becoming her clients. Retiring in 1966 she moved to San Diego, and spent the remaining 30 years of her life painting landscapes. The collection of works in this sale are offered to the market by direct family descent.

AN ANTIQUARIAN GILT BRONZE AND CHINESE LACQUER-MOUNTED BREAKFRONT SIDE CABINET 19TH CENTURY, OF LOUIS XIV STYLE, THE LACQUER PANELS 18TH CENTURY The marble top above a frieze of foliate scrolls and acanthus above three doors displaying re-used lacquer panels enclosing oak shelves, above a raised plinth centred by a panel with bearded mask and with rosette blocks, on tapering feet with acanthus clasps, one lock stamped Comyn Ching & Co 97cm high, 160cm wide, 58cm deepProvenance: The Hon. Claude John Yorke, and thence by descent This imposing cabinet reflects the antiquarian taste prevalent in England in the 19th century, led by London dealer/agents and manufacturers such as Edward Holmes Baldock who was trading from various addresses in of Hanway Street from 1805 and Robert Hume trading from Berners Street from 1829. Indeed the Covent Garden and Soho areas of London witnessed a huge number of businesses engaged in the trade in new, restored and second hand furniture and works of art, from the likes of Baldock and Hume whose clients included royalty and the nobility, to traders who bought and sold `curios' and others who were little more than dealers in scrap. The trade was fanned by enthusiastic and wealthy and collectors of `antiques' such as William Beckford (d.1844) and the Duke of Hamilton (d.1852), historic house refurbishments such as at Hardwick Hall (1839 - 49) and sometimes hare-brained projects such as the Earl of Eglinton's chivalric Tournament of 1839 offered dealers an easy opportunity to make money, while auction sales of eminent collections brought yet more artefacts to the market. Part of this trade saw new furniture created re-using older element, particularly those items deemed precious or valuable, hard stones, Chinese and Japanese lacquer, carved ebony, boulle and tortoiseshell and even old oak. Makers such as Baldock incorporated these in conventional ways, using newly made pieces and the best are superbly executed. A detailed study of the trade was published by Mark Westgarth, Biographical Dictionary of Nineteenth Century Antique and Curiosity Dealers, Regional Furniture Society Journal, 2009, vol.23. A Regency cabinet of similar type, black and gilt-japanned and incorporating 18th century Kangxi lacquer was sold from Crichel, Dorset, at Christie's, London, 23 May 2013, lot 152 (£22,500 including premium).The attribution to a London antiquarian manufacturer is reinforced by the use of locks marked by the Seven Dials ironmonger Comyn Ching & Co. Condition Report: Generally good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are minor scratches marks and scuffing and some constructional shrinkage cracks. The marble top is in good order but with some repairs, a crack running front to back about 23cm from the left edge and a repaired break to the back right corner. Otherwise some minor edge chips. The ormolu all present, of large scale with good chiselling, overall of reasonable quality. Lacquer panels with typical craquelure and yellowing of surface varnish. but with sensitive conservation they would come alive. Minor lifting to the brass stringing on the left side. There is a 26cm piece of ebonised facing detached to the upright inside the centre door. The carcase made of framed and panelled oak, quite precisely machined and assembled typical of 19th century work. Each door revealing a single shelf. Overall a handsome and robust cabinet.

A pair of George III cream painted and parcel gilt settees, in the manner of George Brookshaw (1751-1823), each with triple roundel cresting rail, buttoned padded backs and sides and buttoned D shaped seats raised on turned and fluted tapered legs, fitted brass castors, 212cm wide, 71cm deep, 94cm high These settees were originally commissioned by Stephen Cave Esq (d. 1838), who was part of the Bristol Banking Firm, Ames, Cave & Co. They were part of a large suite and made for Cleve Hill House, Mangotsfield, near Bristol. The house was remodelled by Cave in the late 18th early 19th century, and it would seem no expense was spared. The gardens, which in the mid-18th century had been designed by Thomas Wright, otherwise known as the - Wizard of Durham, were redesigned to incorporate a Pleasure Garden including hot houses, large aviaries and a riding school.After Stephen Caves death in 1838 his son Daniel took over and made further changes to the house which were considered ill-judged alterations, probably moving more towards the Victorian era.The fourth son of Stephen Cave and Anne Daniel had properties at 13 Lowndes Street, London and St. Nicholas Abbey in Barbados and by descent to Laurence Trent Cave (d.1899) second son of Charles Cave, of Ditcham Park, Petersfield, 13 Lowndes Square, London and St. NicholasAbbey, Barbados, and by descent to Charles John Philip Cave, MA, FSA, FRPS (d.1950), eldest son of Laurence Trent Cave, of Ditcham Park, Petersfield and S.t Nicholas Abbey, Barbados and by descent to Laurence Charles Henry Cave (d.1981), eldest son of Charles John Philip Cave of Bletchingly, Surrey and St. Nicholas Abbey, Barbados and by descent to TL Col. Stephen Cave OBE who sold at Christie's London, 17 November 1988, lot 50 the suite of twenty armchairs and a pair of settees. The settee's which bear the date 1802, formed part of the drawing-room or parlour furniture. Both look to have seen some repainting many years ago, paint work now a little faded and discoloured with the floral panels and other floral decoration more notably faded, gilding is also now somewhat matted and rubbed, upholstery looks to be in fair order, frames remain solid.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.

Gilding and surface with scuffs and wear- notably around branches, bobeches and with numerous wax deposits from candle use.

We must advise you that we are not professional restorers or conservators and we do not provide any guarantee or warranty as to a lot's condition. Accordingly, it is recommended that prospective buyers inspect lots or have their advisors do so and satisfy themselves as to condition and accuracy of description. If you have physically viewed an item for which you request a report, the condition report cannot be a reason for cancelling a sale. Buyers are reminded that liability for loss and damage transfers to the buyer from the fall of the hammer. Whilst the majority of lots will remain in their location until collected, we can accept no responsibility for any damage which may occur, even in the event of Dreweatts staff assisting carriers during collection.
