A GILT-DECORATED AND POLYCHROME LACQUERED INCENSE STAND, XIANGJI, MID-QING - 清代中期漆金彩繪香几
Sold for €6,952
including Buyer's Premium
China, 18th century. The top of the stand is elaborately decorated with figures in a riverside landscape scene, featuring scholars and attendants observing a deer. The sides have ruyi-shaped pierced panels above aprons decorated with further figural scenes, all supported on tapering legs and raised on a square platform which is detailed with a dragon roundel.
Provenance: A notable private collector in Kensington, London, United Kingdom. Christie’s London, 14 May 2019, lot 108, bought-in at an estimate of GBP 50,000-80,000.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, expected natural age cracks and splits, some with old repairs and fills, minor touchups. Overall commensurate with age and presenting very well.
Weight: ca. 7.5 kg
Dimensions: Size 87 x 52 x 52 cm, Top panel size 44.9 x 45.4 cm
Literature comparison: A Qianlong-period tiered box, painted in a similar style, is in the Forbidden City, illustrated in Splendors of China’s Forbidden City, Chicago, 2004, no. 315. The author notes that the style of raised gold motifs on a polished lacquer ground was favored by the Yongzheng and Qianlong Emperors, and was originally done in imitation of Japanese lacquer techniques.
Auction result comparison: Compare a related polychrome lacquered incense stand of similar form, dated to the Qing dynasty and less elaborate than the present stand, at Sotheby’s New York in Important Chinese Works of Art on 17 March 2015, lot 213, sold for USD 25,000.
清代中期漆金彩繪香几
中國，十八世紀。此几面為方形，高束腰，几面、束腰、牙板及腿上均描金彩繪。几面上可見山水之間文人場景，他們圍繞著一隻鹿。畫工細膩，造型傳神逼真。牙子與腿圓角相接，四隻三彎腿曲線流暢外翻，足上亦描金。此幾描金彩繪，紅漆明亮，金色純正，一派富麗堂皇的風格。體態流暢，優雅委婉，比例完美，裝飾繁縟。
來源：英國倫敦肯辛頓知名私人收藏。倫敦佳士得2019年5月14日 lot 108, 估價GBP 50,000-80,000。
品相：狀況良好，有輕微磨損，預計會出現自然老化裂紋和裂痕，有舊時維修和填充物。 總體與年齡相稱。
重量：7.5 公斤
尺寸：87 x 52 x 52 厘米，几面44.9 x 45.4 厘米
文獻比較：一件乾隆叠盒，相似彩繪，故宮藏品，見Splendors of China’s Forbidden City, Chicago, 2004, no. 315. 其作者認爲，這種漆地描金部位凸起的風格在雍正乾隆時期非常盛行，這是引用了日本漆器技術風格。
拍賣結果比較：一件乾隆時期相近彩繪漆香几，不如此拍品那麽精緻，見紐約蘇富比 Important Chinese Works of Art 2015年3月17日 lot 213, 售價USD 25,000。
