The Considered Eye Lot 102

The following collection represents one man’s decades’ long passion for the art of the Far East, a collection built around personal taste, a keen curiosity and an educated eye. Introduced to the culture and works of art of China while travelling abroad in the early 1970s, his interest in these exotic and beautiful objects was fuelled by a fascination with the scholarly items so evocative of a people and culture. Dedicated to understanding objects within their historical as well as cultural contexts, he was particularly interested in exploring the desirability these items held for Westerners, from the earliest transcontinental traders to the unprecedented reach of the Dutch East Indies Company through the 17th and 18th centuries. Other areas of concentration in the larger collection are European porcelain and early bronzes, English silver and coins, and Modern and Contemporary Art, but it is the works originating in the Orient that fired his imagination. The first exhibition to make an impact was at Douglas J.K. Wright Ltd Oriental Art in 1974 featuring 18th and 19th century jade, and another in 1978 featuring painted enamels at the Ashmolean Museum. These helped form the initial direction for the collection and were important in providing a framework on which to build. Another major influence was a museum exhibition of snuff bottles which made a lasting impression with its impressive array of techniques, colours, and

materials involved. The exhibition “Chinese Works of Art from the Scholar’s Study” at Spink & Son in New York City in 1986 was hugely impactful, as were the series of exhibitions from 1983-1989 by Spink & Son in London, “The Minor Arts of China I-IV”. These exhibitions all helped focus the collection as he sought out scholar’s objects to be displayed in his home and extensive oﬃces. In particular he was drawn to the tactile nature of these objects, with a special emphasis on jade carving with its cool hardness, colour variations, and carved details. Objects that could be held in the hand were a primary interest. Representations of the crab are a reoccurring theme as well as this was the collector’s zodiacal sign, and can be found represented in multiple incarnations throughout the collection. Frequent international trips as part of his professional life provided the opportunity to combine business with pleasure, and no trip was complete without venturing out to visit the local shops and dealers in search of the next “ﬁnd”. The thrill of the chase was a way of life and part of his daily ritual. An incurable collector, items were sometimes packed away after purchase, and are only now being seen after decades hidden away. He was however, not merely an acquirer of objects, but developed a true connoisseurship for these pieces, spending time researching and visiting important collections around the world to improve his eye and broaden his knowledge. In Britain, The

Percival David Collection and the British Museum were favourite venues for these self-guided tutorials, as were visits to the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Further aﬁeld the Ethnographic Museum in Copenhagen, the Swedish Pavilion in Drottningholm, Sweden and the Phoenix Art Museum exhibition of the Robert Clague collections were all favourites. A trip to Japan ignited a new direction for the collection, with the same zeal applied to snuﬀ bottles and jades now put focused on netsukes of the Meiji period. Their tactile qualities and threedimensionality appealed to his aesthetic sentiments. Also a favourite were works by the Japan-based French printmaker Paul Jacoulet, who seemed to embody the synthesis of Eastern and Western artistic principles this collector found so compelling. While the collection was built with great care and a considered eye over forty years, and has brought many years of enjoyment in its acquisition, it has been decided it is now time to turn these beautiful, timeless and treasured objects over to a new generation of enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

Paul Jacoulet Paul Jacoulet (1902-1960) was born in Paris and raised in Tokyo from an early age. His father Frederic Jacoulet was a university professor hired by the Japanese government to teach French to young aristocrats. Jacoulet was ﬂuent in Japanese language and social customs, and he studied a wide range of traditional arts. Around 1931, he began to work with Shizuya Fujikake learning the craft of woodblock printmaking. In 1933 he established the Jacoulet Institute of Prints and by the next year, he began publishing his own designs. With the exception of his ‘Rainbow Series’ of 1934 all of his prints were self-published. Unlike many other shin-hanga (new print) publishers, he gave credit to his carvers and printers by including their names in the margins of his prints.

We understand that your collection is worth more than the sum of its parts.

Collections sell better as collections. That belief is at the heart of our approach to auctioneering. Over the course of our long history, we have seen this borne out time and time again: from the contents of grand homes to corporate collections, from contemporary art to Chinese snuff bottles; there is little we have not handled and sold well. Each collection is unique and often has an emotional connection to the owners who create or inherit them. Our team work closely with our clients to provide a carefully tailored approach to the sale of their collections. Personal, passionate and professional - we deliver outstanding results.

In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): "Auctioneer" means Lyon & Turnbull Ltd or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; "Hammer price" means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; "Lot" means each Item offered for sale by Lyon & Turnbull; "Purchase Price" is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer's Premium; "Reserve" means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; "Total amount due" means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. 2. AGENCY Lyon & Turnbull acts as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and does not give advice to Buyers. When Lyon & Turnbull make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion.

(d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved.

(g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding. 4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer's sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer's Premium of 25% is payable on the first £50,000 of the hammer price, 20% thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer's Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with

a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 7. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist's Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 8. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us.

It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot. 10.

DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, 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 shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot.

Page 101

(2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

14. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers. (c) Lyon & Turnbull undertakes to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids. (d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 15. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation, safety and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, during or after a sale. 16. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.
