July 10th Sale Report the appetite for Chinese works of art continues unabated and Halls’ July 10th auction saw plenty of good and some surprising results in this area. top of the class here was a magnificent Chinese export silver and enamelled lobed bowl, circa 1900, by Wang Hing which surpassed hopes of £1,000/1,500 to take £11,850 from a London based Chinese buyer. A pair of rare Chinese blanc de chine Dehua porcelain figures of Adam and Eve were also popular, bringing £3,000 from a UK based institution.these figures had been sourced from a vendor in Anglesey, a long trip but worth it! Selected furniture and clocks also performed well at this event with a 19th century IndoPortuguese hardwood four poster bed selling for £3,600 to the trade against an estimate of £2,000/3,000. An early 20th century mahogany longcase clock retailed by Mappin and Webb, London and with a three train movement with Whittington and Westminster chimes sold to a Cheshire buyer for £3,200 whilst an early 19th century mahogany eight day longcase clock with brass dial by John Hamilton of Glasgow changed hands for an above estimate £1,450 when it sold to a tetbury buyer. taxidermy often invites mixed feelings but there was no lack of interest here for an Edwardian tiger skin with head mount which roared away from an estimate of £1,000/1,500 when it sold to a Staffordshire buyer for £2,600. If it had been alive, it may have been interested in a Japanese bronze and gilt bronze figure of a hawk, dated to the Meiji period (18681912) which sold to the London trade for £2,400 against hopes of £1,000/1,500. Other notable results included a walnut cased symphonium at £1,500, a Victorian marine chronometer at £1,500 and a beautiful Della Robbia vase by Carlo Manzini and Cassandia Annie Walker finding a new home at £1,450.
