In addition to our Canadian consignors, many clients from the United States and abroad have entrusted us with their property and we have brought you works of art from Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Florida, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom. From these international consignments, we have gained the privilege of offering an archaistic bronze collection from a Hong Kong collector, as well as a fine selection of Himalayan works of art from various consignors.

Decorative Arts

Waddington’s launched its newest division, Concrete Contemporary Auctions and Projects (CCAP) in March 2012 with a vision and mandate to create a secondary market for contemporary Canadian art.

From ancient to modern, delicate to deadly, Waddington’s Decorative Arts department redeﬁnes the term, bringing much more than traditional silverware and porcelain ﬁgurines to market, and with remarkable success.

Concrete Contemporary Auctions merges the worlds of traditional auction and the retail gallery, where our relationships with artists, art dealers, curators and collectors result in exciting new sources of contemporary works. The auctions are tightly focused on Canadian contemporary art since 1980 with an emphasis on mid- and latecareer artists with exhibition history in the private and public sphere. An exciting initiative of CCAP is the launch of our Pop-Up Gallery series in 2013. These short-duration, single artist shows oﬀer works by some of Canada’s most accomplished working artists. Led by one of Canada’s most plugged-in art experts, Stephen Ranger, CCAP is committed to exploring new ways to connect, expand and support the arts community.

Waddington’s reputation for developing new markets is well represented by our Decorative Arts department, as is our ability to present large collections – notable recent sales have included Contemporary Studio Glass, Scientific Instruments and Militaria.

Asian Art Auction – Monday 2 December 2013 at 6 p.m.

Provenance: From the Estate of Ann Mabel Cawthra (1869-1943), wife of Agar Adamson (1865-1929), Toronto. Acquired in Japan circa 1900 and thence by descent to the current owner. Note: Despite being one of the least documented types of Japanese decorative arts, jizai okimono became very popular with Europeans in the second half of the 19th century. Made from materials including iron, copper, shibuchi (copper and silver alloy) and shakudo (copper and gold alloy), jizai okimono depict animals, both real and imaginary, with articulated bodies and limbs. Many of these pieces were created by the famous Myochin family in the late 18th Century. They were long revered for their iron forging and hammer work, but with the demand for arms and armour diminishing, they began to produce jizai okimono such as lobsters, dragons and insects to make a living. An example of an iron jizai okimono dragon, signed Myochin Kiyoharu, was sold at Bonham’s London, November 10, 2011 lot 376. During the Meiji restoration, Japan began to open up and participate in numerous international fairs and expositions. This was when many foreigners, both living in the major Japanese cities and abroad, started noticing the top quality craftsmanship of Japanese decorative arts. The increase in their demand saw an increase in the use of precious materials in the arts, including gold and silver. The present silver dragon was made during this time. It features the realism and articulation of the earlier Myochin examples, but is enhanced by the use of silver and gold alloy. Though extremely rare, silver examples of jizai okimono dragons have been published including one featured in ‘Jizai Okimono’ at the Tokyo National Museum, 2008, no. 8.

134 Extremely Rare and Well Cast Bronze Ritual ‘Dragon’ Lamp, Han Dynasty (206 BC- AD 220) The domed container with a reticulated lid containing scrolling vine and lingzhi fungus, all supported by a ﬁerce sinuous dragon sprawling over a wide circular base, height 5.5" — 14 cm. $30,000/40,000

Note: Bronze oil lamps from the Han Dynasty tend to be simple in their construction, as they are typically comprised of a basic lamp dish, stem, and base. The present example is highly unusual not only because it features a finely cast zoomorphic dragon, but the dragon also functions as the base and stem, while it grasps onto the torch-form lamp dish. The high quality casting and realistic rendering of the dragon suggests this lamp was a commission or gift for someone of importance and high rank. The presence of a cover is uncommon as well, especially one with such an intricate design of longevity fungus and scrolling vine. Zoomorphic bronze lamps from the Han Dynasty are rare but a few have appeared in the market over the past years. An exceptional example of a bronze ‘headless bird’ formerly from Eskenzai, Ltd., was sold at Christie’s New York, September 17, 2008, lot 556. A figural example of a bronze ‘kneeling foreigner ‘ lamp that was exhibited at the Ching Wan Society Exhibition in Taipei (2000), was offered at Sotheby’s New York March 18, 2008, lot 74.

Provenance: From the collection of Sir Michael William and Lady Wendy Turner, Hong Kong and London. Given as a gift to Sir Turner (1905-1980) (KBE. CBE. OBE. Hon LLD) while he was the Chief manager of The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank (Later HSBC) between 1953-1962. Sir Michael William Turner was born in Winchester, England, in 1905. He studied at University College, Oxford with a degree in military history and a stint on the English national ﬁeld hockey team. Upon graduation, he joined the London HSBC oﬃce and was then posted to Shanghai. On his second tour in Shanghai he met and married Wendy Stranack (later Lady Turner), but was subsequently transferred to Singapore where he was interned in Changi jail for the duration of WWII. It took six months for Sir Turner to recover from the camp, and afterwards, he resumed his business career and succeeded Sir Arthur Morse as Chief Manager of HSBC in 1953 where he was instrumental in the considerable postwar expansion of the bank. Following retirement in 1963 he served as Chairman of the British Bank of the Middle East. Sir Turner died in London in 1980. A Turner room in the main Hong Kong branch of HSBC commemorates his services to the bank. During his time in Hong Kong he and Lady Turner acquired a number of Chinese jade carvings, porcelain, and works of art.

Note: The ruyi or “wish granting” sceptre is one of the most auspicious symbols in Chinese art and during the Qing dynasty was customarily presented to the Imperial family as well as members of the upper classes on signiﬁcant occasions such as birthdays, betrothals, or weddings. Fashioned from a variety of media including wood, gold, silver, or as seen in this present example, carved from jade or other types of precious or semi-precious stone, most sceptres followed a similar form with curved handle joining a cloud or lingzhi-shaped head. These sceptres were then further embellished with auspicious symbols relevant to the occasion and recipient. Decorated with bats and plump peaches, symbols of happiness and longevity respectively, suggests that this sceptre was possibly fashioned in honour of a milestone birthday. For a sceptre of comparable size but listed as ‘pale greyish olive-green’, see Christie’s New York ‘A Collecting Legacy: Fine Chinese Jade Carvings and Works of Art from the Lizzadro Collection Part II”, September 19, 2013, lot 1207.

Provenance: Private English Collection. Christie’s Hong Kong, November 30, 2011, lot 3226. The Zhirouzhai Collection. Note: Even though the literati class collected jade carvings since the Warring States Period, it was really during the Ming and Qing Dynasties when jade objects were being produced for the scholar’s desk. These items were collectively known as the wenfang sibao (four treasures of the library) and include items that relate to ink, inkstone, brush and paper. During the Ming Dynasty, literati ideals had expanded to daily court life, which led to an increase in consumerism for objects that showcased scholastic theory. As a result, scholar items that were once being crafted of modest and austere mediums such as wood and bamboo were now being carved of jade and other expensive material. The present water pot incorporates the richness of material with literati aesthetic. Its depiction of the summer fruit lychee, an auspicious literati symbol of fertility, is combined with a precious medium that could only be aﬀorded by someone with rank. A similar jade ‘lychee’ water pot dated to the late Ming Dynasty from the Cummer Museum of Art & Garden in Florida was sold at Christie’s New York September 15, 2009, lot 120.

Conditions Of Sale

1. All lots are sold “AS IS”. Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted or announced verbally in the auction room prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is oﬀered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly. 2. Each lot sold is subject to a premium of 18% of the successful bid price. 3. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay Harmonized Sales Tax on the total purchase price including the buyer’s premium. For international buyers, taxes are not applicable when purchases are shipped out of country. Items shipped out of Ontario, the buyer is required to pay taxes as per the tax status of that province, whether it HST or GST (Goods and Services Tax). 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from

178

sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice. 5. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and not to reject any bid. Without limitation, any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may not be recognized. 6. Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale. 7. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer’s decision in all cases shall be final. 8. Immediately after the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the sale, with or without

re-offering the item for sale. 9. The buyer shall pay for all lots within 48 hours from the date of the sale, after which a late charge of 2% per month on the total invoice may be incurred or the auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may cancel the sale. The buyer shall not become the owner of the lot until paid for in full. Items must be removed within 10 days from the date of sale , after which storage charges may be incurred. 10. Each lot purchased, unless the sale is cancelled as above, shall be held by the auctioneer at his premises or at a public warehouse at the sole risk of the buyer until fully paid for and taken away. 11. Notwithstanding condition no. 1, if the buyer, prior to removal of a lot, makes arrangements satisfactory to the auctioneer for the inspection of such lot by a fully qualified person acceptable to the auctioneer to determine the genuineness or authenticity of the lot, to be carried out promptly following the sale of the lot, and if, but only if, within a period of 14 days following the sale a written opinion of such person is presented to the auctioneer to the effect that the lot is not genuine or authentic, accompanied by a written request by the buyer for rescission of the sale, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the sale price refunded to the buyer. 12. Payment for purchases must be by cash, INTERAC direct debit (Cdn clients in person only), certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable), travelers cheque, bank draft, electronic transfer (fee applies), and VISA or Mastercard (up to $25,000). As Waddington's requires written authorization for all credit card purchases, credit cards must be presented in person by the cardholder and therefore cannot be accepted over the telephone. However, fax authorization arrangements can be made.

13. In the event of failure to pay for or remove articles within the aforementioned time limit, the auctioneer, without limitation of the rights of the consignor and the auctioneer against the buyer, may resell any of the articles affected, and in such case the original buyer shall be responsible to the auctioneer and the consignor for: (a) any deficiency in price between the re-sale amount and the amount to have been paid by the original buyer; (b) any reasonable charge by the auctioneer for the storage of such articles until payment and removal by the subsequent buyer; and (c) the amount of commission which the auctioneer would have earned had payment been made in full by the original buyer. 14. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make all arrangements for insuring, packing and removing the property purchased and any assistance by the auctioneer or his servants, agents or contractors, in packing or removal shall be rendered as a courtesy and without any liability to them. 15. The auctioneer acts solely as agent for the consignor and makes no representation as to any attribute of, title to, or restriction affecting the articles consigned for sale. Without limitation, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act (Canada). 16. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse admission to the sale or to refuse to recognize any or all bids from any particular person or persons at any auction.
