A PAIR OF THREE-COLOR LACQUER BOXES AND COVERS, WITH BALSAM PEARS AND PEACHES, 18TH CENTURY

Published & Exhibited: Ben Janssens Oriental Art, TEFAF 2020, London, 2020, pp. 50-51.

China. Each of circular form with straight sides and sleeve covers. The slightly domed tops are carved through layers of red and green lacquer to the ochre base underneath. One of the boxes is carved with a decoration of two large peaches on branches with flowers. Both fruit are decorated with wan (one thousand) characters. The other box has a decoration of balsam pears, the two large fruit decorated with key-fret pattern. The sides are carved with an interlinked key fret design. Both the bases and the interiors are lacquered in black. (2)

Provenance: Spink & Son, London, 1961. A private collection in London, United Kingdom, acquired from the above. Sotheby's London, 6 November 2019, lot 109, sold for GBP 5,000 or approx. EUR 10,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). Ben Janssens Oriental Art, London, acquired from the above. A copy of the invoice from Spink & Son, dated September 1961 and confirming the dating above, accompanies the lot. Ben Janssens opened his eponymous gallery in 1996 in London, specializing in early Chinese art. Previously he had been a director at Spink & Son. He also served as the Chairman of the Executive Committee of TEFAF Maastricht.
Condition: Overall very good condition with expected wear, manufacturing irregularities, few small age cracks, tiny dents to the interior, one old repair to the rim of one box, and both boxes with minor touchups to the base.

Weight: 63 g and 69 g
Dimensions: Diameter 7.3 cm and 7.5 cm

This box exemplifies the technical virtuosity and symbolic richness prized at the Qing court under the Qianlong Emperor. The depth of the carving of the peaches on the cover and the polychrome coloration are both typical of eighteenth-century carved lacquer wares.

The decoration of pears on lacquer is very rare. Terese Bartholomew states that the pear is a pun for ‘profit’ (see Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, 2006, p. 155) whilst Wolfram Eberhard writes that the pear (li) is a symbol for longevity (see A Dictionary of Chinese Symbols, Cologne, 1983, p. 229). As peaches are also a symbol of longevity, the latter meaning would make sense and these boxes can therefore be regarded as gifts implying a wish for a long life.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related polychrome lacquer box with peach decoration, 13.2 cm long, dated to the Qing dynasty, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, object number 故漆000153N000000000.
