Lots 1-121 Snuff Bottles: Including the property of an Ohio, a Philadelphia and a Florida collection all to be offered without reserve Since the 17th century, the snuff bottle has been both an endearing and enduring icon of Chinese decorative arts. The small utilitarian bottle is a descendant of the personal, pocket-sized medicine bottles utilized in China for centuries. Its eventual role as a symbol of status and taste took the form well beyond the confines of mere functionality and resulted in a craft that inspired many of China’s best carvers and incorporated the finest available materials.

Pipe tobacco was introduced to the imperial Ming court in the 16th century and enjoyed some decades of popularity among the general population until the establishment of the Qing dynasty in the 17th century brought the prohibition of smoking. Tobacco users found some respite in the form of snuff. Considered a substance akin to herbal medicines, powdered tobacco remained legal throughout the dynasty and entered into the social customs of the era as a gentlemanly indulgence.

The sharing of snuff among Chinese men led to the snuff bottle’s adoption as a common accessory and subsequent status symbol. Soon, precious gemstones, metals, organic substances and more were being utilized by the country’s best craftsmen to meet a demand for finer and more valuable bottles than those that had come before.

The crafting of intricate and precious snuff bottles, which continued long after their function became irrelevant, stands as a unique cornerstone of the Chinese decorative arts tradition. While the finest known bottles date from the 18th century, good examples from throughout the Qing and Republic periods still capture the attention of avid collectors and command strong prices at auction.

H: 2 2/5 in. W: 2 2/3 in. provenance: Property of a Philadelphia Gentleman. Purchased in Palm Beach during the 1970s. Previously part of a 19th century French Collection.

H: 9 1/2 in. W: 4 in. note: The Qianlong Emperor (1736-1795) commisioned the creation of a vast, comprehensive encyclopedia called the Siku Quanshu. Compilation of all approved texts began in the year 1773 and commenced nearly ten years later with the final volume consisting of over 79,000 chapters containing all known relevant examples of Chinese history, philosophy, classics and poetry. The text contained within this jade book is a transcription of the Qianlong Emperor’s written impressions following a trip to the Wenshuoge pavilion at the Shenyang imperial palace, one of four initial sites containing a copy of the Siku Quanshu. The technique employed in the creation of these tablets was mastered during the Qianlong Emperor’s reign and resulted in many celebrated imperiallycommissioned examples extant in private collections and museums.

Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale.

In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code.

10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain

instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest.

11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose.

12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.

13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price.

The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $20,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $20,001 through $500,000, and 12% on the portion of the hammer price exceeding $500,000.

14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state.

15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier recommended by Freeman’s.

Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer.

16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid.

17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion.

18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor's and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
