Lot 209 Late 19th C. Chinese Silver Enamel Bowl Est $5,000 - 10,000
PLEASE NOTE All lots are illustrated online at www.dunbarsloane.com
Oriental artefacts The backbone of this sale is formed from two estates. The first was derived during the 1960’s to 1980’s by a European couple that retired to the outskirts of Tauranga. The descendants have instructed us to sell the lots, which represent a good portion of this sale, at no reserve. The other estate, collected during the late 19th C. and up until the early 1920’s in Canton, China is represented from lots 209 – 263. As with all auctions but especially so with Oriental, it is up to the buyer to satisfy themselves as to the age and condition of the items. We catalogue items to the best of our abilities but we are not museum trained experts. 1 2 3

THE E.A. Stanton Collection lots 209 – 263
The following 55 lots are from the E.A Stanton Estate. Stanton was a partner in the Chinese trading house Deacon & Co during the late 19th C. which was located in Canton. They were also involved as commission, shipping and insurance agents. His son George Stanton, was born in 1910, but the family soon relocated to Kent in England c. 1922, taking their collection of Chinese curiosities with them.
According to the current owner, the ivory panels, lot 215, were put into protective casings at the time. This was corroborated during cataloguing when old Chinese newspapers dated 1922 were found inserted behind the panels. The collection including the display cabinet, have remained pretty much intact since this date. An old insurance valuation dated 1974 lists most of the items. Mr & Mrs G Stanton
