THREE LARGE BUDDHA STATUES, 17TH-18TH CENTURY, EX COLLECTION OF SIR ELTON JOHN

China. The three carved and gilt-lacquered figures each standing in samabhanga on a separate double-lotus base of hexagonal shape, wearing long flowing robes falling elegantly in richly carved folds. Their serene faces with downcast expressions, calmly smiling bow-shaped lips, and neatly painted eyebrows, flanked by long pendulous earlobes. Their hair arranged in tight snail-shell curls around the red-lacquered ushnisha. (6)

Provenance: The private collection of Sir Elton John. One statue acquired by Elton John at Bonhams (according to label) and the other two from Charlotte Horstmann & Gerald Godfrey Ltd, Hong Kong, circa 1990 (again according to label). After achieving worldwide fame, universally acclaimed British singer, songwriter, and pianist Elton John developed a profound passion for art. He developed his collection through personal visits to art galleries, noted private collections, and antique shops, once saying “Everything you see…was chosen by me. My curator will suggest stuff but nobody goes and collects on my behalf. I live with these works around me and they bring me great joy because every day I wake up and notice something new…I don’t collect things for the value, I collect for the beauty.” Works from the Sir Elton John Collection have been exhibited at the Tate Modern and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, expected age cracks, small nicks, shallow chips, few losses, old repairs and fills, some touchups. The lacquer gilding has been renewed several times, as there are several layers visible. The latest layer probably dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.

Weight: ca. 6.7 kg (each)
Dimensions: Height ca. 73.6 cm (each)

Coating carved wood figures with gilt-lacquer is a technique that appears to have emerged during the early part of the Ming dynasty, continuing during the Qing dynasty and echoing Buddhist bronze figures in form and decoration.
