External Expert Authentication: This lot was previously authenticated by Sotheby's Hong Kong for their sale on 8 April 2014, confirming the dating as Xuande mark and period, 1425-1435. The experts in charge of this sale were Senior Director Nicholas Chow and Chairman of Asian Arts Henry Howard Sneyd.China, 1425-1435. Superbly cast in a recumbent position with the head turning to the right and resting on one paw, the muscular body detailed with a ridged spine flanked by incised tufts of hair, terminating in a bushy tail wrapping around the right leg, the face with bulging eyes below curled eyebrows, and with four bumps on the forehead.The underside cast with a four-character Xuande nianzhi reign mark in regular script in a slightly curved reserve.Provenance: The private collection of Jules Speelman, London. Sotheby's Hong Kong, 8 April 2014, lot 83, mid-estimate of HKD 2,500,000 or approximately EUR 350,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation as of the time of writing). Jules Speelman is a world-leading dealer and collector of East Asian art with 60 years of experience. In 1964 he joined his late father, Alfred, in the family business which already stretched back three generations to 19th century Holland and expanded into England around the turn of the century. Originally, A & J Speelman dealt with antiques, from European ceramics, silver, tapestries, and furniture to Chinese porcelain, and works of art. With his father, Jules gradually shifted the focus towards Asia and under Jules Speelman's skilled direction, A & J Speelman is now considered amongst the foremost dealers in Asian antiques, with a particular emphasis on figurative sculpture and works of art from the past 2000 years. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, casting irregularities including little pitting to the extremities, tiny nicks, light scratches, little rubbing, and the underside with typical areas of oxidation.Weight: 480 g Dimensions: Length 9.6 cmThis outstanding gilt-bronze figure of a recumbent lion is one of a small number of high quality paperweights dating to the early Ming dynasty. Heavily cast and intricately modeled with varying layers of relief delineating the animal in full naturalistic detail and richly gilded, it is in itself a masterpiece of early Ming craftsmanship, not to be confused with the large number of later Ming wares bearing apocryphal Xuande marks.Paperweights in the form of animal figures have their origin in mat weights from antiquity. Initially simple utilitarian objects used to hold paper in place, they later evolved into refined works made of stone, bronze, jade, and other materials, reflecting the aesthetic values and scholarly ideals of the literati tradition. Paperweights of the Xuande period are closely linked to the imperial court's patronage of refined scholar's objects. During his reign, the Xuande Emperor is well documented as having taken a personal interest in the arts, particularly bronze casting and objects for the scholar's desk. Surviving examples of Xuande paperweights—often cast in bronze and sometimes bearing Xuande reign marks—reflect the period's emphasis on elegant form, balanced proportions, and restrained decoration.For a stone pillar carved in the form of a lion at the Ming Tombs of Changling, dated circa 1426, with iconography closely related to the present lion, see Osvald Siren, Histoire des Arts Anciens de la Chine, vol. III, La Sculpture de l'époque Han à l'époque Ming, Paris and Brussels, 1930, pl. 126D.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Poly Auctions, Beijing, 6 December 2010, lot 5395Price: CNY 537,600 or approx.
