A LARGE PARCEL-GILT COPPER REPOUSSÉ PLAQUE OF A SNOW LION, 17TH-18TH CENTURY
十七至十八世紀大型銅鎏金浮雕雪獅
Sold for €3,120
including Buyer's Premium
Tibet. The striding beast with a fierce expression, bulging eyes below flaming brows, the mouth revealing a set of sharp fangs below a ruyi shaped snout. The finely detailed flaming mane, tail, mouth, and bell nicely picked out. The head and body cast separately and joined with rivets.
Provenance: From the private collection of Jan Finch. Jan Ellen Finch (1952-2021) was a celebrated art and antiques dealer who started out in Portobello Market during the 1980s. Her company Finch & Co became one of the best-known and most charismatic dealerships of the modern era. The firm’s rigorously researched and hugely informative catalogs became the mainstay of many dealers’ and collectors’ libraries. Her private collection included numerous curiosities and rare examples of Asian and ethnographic art, European sculptures, and modern British art.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age and the generally fragile nature of repoussé works, with some old wear, minor tears and small losses, dents and nicks, minute cracks, some added pinholes for suspension, few malachite encrustations. Remnants of ancient pigment.
Weight: 2,590 g (excl. base), 5,600 g (incl. base)
Dimensions: Length 42.6 cm
Mounted to a modern metal base. (2)
