FINE PAIR OF ZITAN ARMCHAIRS

LATE QING DYNASTY each elaborately carved in Rococo style with Europeaninfluenced lotus, acanthus and foliate trails, the backsplat of vase form supporting the shaped crest-rail surmounted by a fanned lappet-form headrest, the curved arms supported by acanthus-form pillars, the rectangular seat enclosed within a frame surmounting a recessed waist above a curved apron carved with floral scrolls and ruyi heads, all raised on four cabriole legs joined by plain rectangular peripheral stretchers and ending in squat square bun feet 114cm high, 60cm wide Provenance: From the same Scottish Family collection as a pair of Imperial Zitan chairs which were sold at Christie’s, Hong Kong, Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art sale, 3rd of December 2008, lot 2503.

Note: The present pair of chairs exemplifies the influence of Western cabinet-making techniques and decorative motifs on Chinese furniture during the Qing dynasty. Beginning in the early Qing dynasty, foreign tradesmen and firms brought European-made items and built trading houses in European styles in China. At the same time, the Jesuits arrived in Beijing and entered the Emperor’s service as court artists. They not only produced western-designed objects but also influenced architectural design, the most prominent example being the Chang Chun Yuan (Garden of

Everlasting Spring) in the Summer Palace. As a result of such commercial and cultural exchange, Europeaninfluenced decorative arts objects, in particular furniture, began to appear in and outside the imperial court.The architectural crest of the two chairs and the Westernized lotus and acanthus motifs of the surface carving are all drawn from the repertoire of Rococo art.

The fanned lappet-shaped headrest surmounting the crest-rail clearly resembles a shell, another typical Rocaille motif. These motifs remind one of the identical carved decorations on the European-style complex of buildings in the Garden of Everlasting Spring. We can only imagine what the furniture looked like in the series of palaces, pavilions and terraces of the Yuanmingyuan as it is now only a place of memories. These ornate, pseudo-Rococo designs satisfied the self-indulgent taste of the royal household.For similar examples see Tian Jiaqing: Classic Chinese Furniture of the Qing Dynasty, p. 42, pl.26; a similar chair from the Qing Court, is in Treasure of the Ming and Qing Dynasty Palace Furniture, Vol. 1, Beijing, 2007, pl. 18 and another Western influenced chair, pl. 88; Sotheby’s New York, Collection of Lt. Col. Robert Gray Peck, 19th March 2014, lot 400; Christie’s Hong Kong, 2nd December 2008, lot 2508.

Estimates can change, they are not definitive and should not be thought of as the sale price. c.

You will indemnify us and the Seller in full on demand against all claims, costs or expenses incurred by us or the Seller as a result of any breach by you of any of the obligations in this clause.

14. Inspection of Lots a. As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Lots. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. b. We strongly recommend that you attend the auction viewing in person if possible. You are responsible for your decision to bid for particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by

telephone, absentee bid or online bidding, we will assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding it’s condition. c. Please note that the Lots (in particular second hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition.

Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of secondhand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

15. Descriptions and condition a. Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on i. Information provided to us by the Seller of the i Lot (for which we are not liable); and i ii. Our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot). b. We will give you a number opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. c. Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

16. Registration, Bidding and the Buyer a. You are required to register to bid by 5pm on the day before the auction. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a absentee bid. b. If you wish to bid on high value Lots, the registration deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. c. We reserve the right to require deposits at the point of Registration on high value Lots.

Deposits are refundable after the auction if you are not a successful Bidder. d. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the Registration Form. e. Absentee bids may be left with us in writing indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding Buyer’s Premium and/or VAT and any applicable charges). We will execute absentee bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Bidders submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can reasonably be ascertained). Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your absentee bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. f. Telephone bidding is offered on a first come first serve basis on high value lots. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your telephone bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. g. Bidding online is available via doreandrees.com and our auction partners EasyLiveAuction.com.

Glossary of Cataloguing Terms Dore and Rees team members are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction, you are welcome to request condition reports. If you require clarification of any terms used in the catalogue please be in touch. We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored.

The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie. basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration. It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration. The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i.e. “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice.

For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark. Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation.

Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact. Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable.

Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage. Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers.

Paintings, Drawings and Prints

The addition of a question mark after any of the cataloguing terms in the above glossary indicates an element of doubt.

The term 'ascribed to' may in certain cases be used to denote a traditional attribution based on style.

A work catalogued as 'School' accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date mean that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in that location, e.g. Italian School, circa 1800.

All reference to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of work, i.e. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.

The use of inverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connection with a signature, or inscription (ie. signed “John Nash”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand.
