A

n auctioneer’s greatest challenge is to discover fine art and antiques that are fresh and unknown in the present market. The greatest sources of such artworks are private and family collections. Long before the Chinese art market started to boom in the 21st century, many of the lots offered here had found their ways to the homes of their consignors. Some items come with detailed provenance, like the early Qing bronze vase (Lot 73) sent home to Georgia with the instruction “take care, this is from the palace” by American missionary in China Hannah Simms-Lee. Others, such as the rare and superb Imperial Qianlong hunting knife (Lot 86), were once part of large and diverse collections of luxury items and curiosities.

Where and when they were acquired is lost in the family Sincerely,

histories. Even property from the S. Lup Jung Collection (Lots 360-486), a prominent collector and art dealer in Delaware, speaks of a pre-boom market when scholarship focused largely on Song ceramics, such as those varieties from northern kilns represented here.

I am happy to present the following eclectic assemblage of Chinese and East Asian art ranging from China’s bronze age into the 21st century. Many lots of these fine artworks are making their debut in a new and unprecedented Asian Art market. It is my desire that they be met with enthusiasm and move into the possession of different collectors eager to hold and treasure them for generations.

Property from the Collection of Hannah Simms-Lee, American missionary and 22-year resident of the Republic of China lots 73-75 Mrs. Simms-Lee was born Hannah Jewett Williams in Macon, Georgia on October 28, 1895. As a young woman, Hannah met Soong Mei Ling, the future Madame Chiang Kai-shek, at a Methodist church meeting in Macon during the period in which Miss Soong had moved to Georgia to accompany her sister and prepare for enrollment at Wesleyan College. In an impassioned memoir dictated toward the end of her life, Hannah Simms-Lee credits that meeting for inspiring her journey to China in 1923 as a member of the American Church Mission of New York City.

In 1925, Hannah married The Reverend Alan Walter Simms-Lee, an English rector of the Church of England and chaplain of St. John’s Church, Hankou (now part of Wuhan), China. She and The Reverend Simms-Lee adopted their son John in Hankou. It was in these years that Hannah became reacquainted with Soong Mei Ling, now wife of Kuomintang Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, who found support among native and expat community leaders such as the Reverend Simms-Lee, Secretary of the Hankou Rotary Club. A change in the Reverend’s position took the family to Tianjin in 1940. Throughout the 1930s and early 1940s, Hannah worked and travelled in China, acquiring few souvenirs of her life abroad save a collection of personal letters, drawings and correspondences and a number of fine antiques, both gifted and purchased.

By 1941, the Japanese occupation of Tianjin became complete with the withdrawal of all British and

American troops from the city. Diplomatic efforts to prepare Hannah, Alan and John’s potential evacuation were completed, but their abrupt 1942 seizure and consequent internment in a Japanese prison camp foiled all plans for their safety. Hannah’s and Alan’s collection of precious objects and personal effects had previously been expedited back to the United States. The Simms-Lee family were to remain in a Japanese internment camp until 1945, where Alan tragically passed.

The following three lots reflect the interest in China’s scholarly tradition among the nation’s literati class during the Republic period.

Unlike the ornate porcelain and lustrous jade emblematic of the Qing Imperial taste, the following lots evoke earlier Chinese traditions and periods –from early melding of Buddhistic and folk iconography to China’s second golden age of bronze production in the Han Dynasty.

A marked Qianlong hunting knife with carved rhinoceros horn sheath and antelope horn handle was sold as Lot 1817 from Sotheby’s Hong Kong ‘s October 8, 2009 auction of imperial artworks from the celebrated Water, Pine and Stone Retreat. The next year, Sotheby’s Hong Kong’s April 8 auction of Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art featured Lot 1810, a marked Qianlong hunting knife with horn handle and a gold and turquoise sheath.

Freeman’s Lot 86 appears a particularly rare configuration among known Qianlong Imperial hunting knives in that the sheath tapers to a point and the handle is composed of two materials –vibrant blue lapis lazuli and a “hidden” section of white jade only revealed when the knife is unsheathed. Such knives were a symbol of Manchu ruggedness and self-reliance. Whereas the aforementioned knives composed largely of organic materials evoke rustic survival, though, our Lot 86 speaks more of formality within Qianlong’s court. Its lapis, jade, jewel, gold, silver, steel, bronze and enamel makeup indicate strict ceremonial use. $20,000-40,000

A prodigious scholar since childhood, Jung’s academic pursuits took him to The University of California at Berkeley where he studied chemical engineering in the classroom and frequented museums and galleries on weekends and during breaks. Jung received his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and moved with his wife Mary to Wilmington, Delaware in 1951 where he was employed as a research chemist for DuPont. Inspired by Mary’s equal passion for the arts, Mr. Jung slowly and methodically studied and acquired works of fine and decorative art for the family’s personal collection. Along with children Maria and Spencer, Mary and S. Lup Jung began to take frequent trips to New York where the family bought attended art exhibitions and auctions. By 1975, the Jungs had incorporated and started Jungs, Inc., an art and antique dealership eventually based in a historic home in central Wilmington. After 25 years of operation, Jungs, Inc. closed in 2005. The family’s personal collection and remaining inventory was housed in their spacious Wilmington apartment and infrequently seen thereafter.

Shee Lup Jung passed away in 2015. He is well remembered in Wilmington as a generous philanthropist, gifted educator and knowledgeable art dealer of great integrity. The following lots exemplify the variety of Chinese artwork Jungs, Inc. handled. Evidence of Mr. Jung’s extensive research can be found on the many tags, labels and notes originally accompanying these works of art. It is with great pleasure that Freeman’s presents property from the Collection of S. Lup Jung: an important regional scholar and dealer in Chinese works of art.
