拍品描述 翻译
A rare partially gilt-bronze, champlevé-enamel and jade 'elephant and boys' group QianlongThe procession consisting of a finely cast caparisoned elephant standing four-square led by three playful young boys, each wearing a bright polychrome enamelled robe and cap, one blowing a suona, double-reeded horn, another playing a bolanggu, pellet drum, and a third carrying a dragon banner, all raised on a rectangular plinth supported by four ruyi-form feet, the imposing beast elaborately caparisoned, adorned with polychrome enamel and gilt-metal trappings, the embellished and enamelled harness surmounted by a flaming pearl and the saddle fringed with bells, each side of the saddlecloth with a gilt writhing dragon on a white ground, emerging from animal-masks joined to a ruffle-hemmed circular cloth, set below the domed support reticulated with two phoenix in flight, all below a pavilion on each side with a reticulated jade roundel, the flaring roof surmounted with a bird finial. 38cm (14 3/4in) long x 21cm (8 1/4in) wide. 注脚 清乾隆 銅胎鏨琺瑯嵌玉童子瑞象擺件 Provenance:The Honourable Mrs. Nellie (1883-1962) and Basil (1884-1950) Ionides, Buxted Park, Sussex, and thence by descentA British private collection Christie's London, 7 November 2017, lot 107Nellie Ionides was the daughter of Sir Marcus Samuel, 1st Viscount Bearsted (1853-1927), Chairman of Shell. In 1930 she married Basil Ionides, a pioneering Art Deco designer. Both shared a love of the arts and collecting including Meissen porcelain, English 18th century and Regency furniture and Chinese porcelain. In her will she left Chinese porcelain to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum and to the Brighton Pavilion.來源:英國蘇塞克斯郡Nellie(1883-1962)及Basil(1884-1950)Ionides伉儷舊藏,後由家族傳承英國私人舊藏佳士得倫敦,2017年11月7日,拍品編號107The elephant embodies strength, wisdom and intelligence and is held in high esteem in Buddhist beliefs. It is unusual to find an elephant group such as the present lot with attendant boys in procession. Cloisonné and champlevé enamel elephants are more commonly depicted in Chinese art supporting a vase on its back forming the rebus for 'universal peace', taiping you xiang. Compare with a related gilt-bronze, champlevé and cloisonné enamel elephant-form candlestick, 18th century, which was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 4 April 2017, lot 198.Compare the cloisonné enamel boys with the small cloisonné enamel boy riding a hobby horse, late 17th century, from the collection of Mr and Mrs R.H.Palmer, illustrated by Sir H.Garner, Chinese and Japanese Cloisonné Enamels, London, 1962, pl.76. In this book, Garner writes that it is not common to find human figures in cloisonné with the earliest examples, such as this boy, dating to the 17th century.The importance of elephants in Imperial processions is also demonstrated by two elephants, one bearing a vase, depicted in a court painting, Ten Thousand Envoys come to Pay Tribute, 1761, illustrated by C.Ho and B.Bronson, Splendors of China's Forbidden City: The Glorious Reign of Emperor Qianlong, London, 2004, pp.75-77, figs.80-82. 銅胎,一象三童立於銅臺之上,象身馱四檐閣樓,檐首作翹首龍頭,閣頂立鳳凰,俱鎏金, 亭瓦鏨刻團壽蝙蝠如意雲紋,再填藍彩, 閣内開光嵌四塊鏤空白玉窗,分別雕人物及龍紋,亭台外沿起四柱圍欄,鎏金鏨刻填藍彩,亭台之下承以鏤空鎏金雙鳳穿雲紋,象背披寶毯,毯分三層,頂層填紅彩,中層鏨刻鎏金卷草文填綠彩,底層緄邊綴鈴鐺,鏨刻卷雲紋鎏金,填月白彩,象披搭鎏金鏨刻四爪降龍,填白地紅邊,象身籠鎏金嵌寶石瓔珞,頭戴寶珠冠,象前立三童子,一童手擎鎏金鏨刻填紅地龍紋旗,頭戴角氈,底衫鏨刻鎏金卷草文,填月白料,一童最前,頭戴平頂花沿帽,内填鵝黃料,手持圓鼓,作捶打貌,身著鎏金鏨刻龍紋填多彩夾衣,一童立於象左,頭戴圓氈,手持嗩吶,身穿鎏金鏨刻花草紋短衫,填綠彩為地,花填月白及紅料,三童著履皆鎏金。童子身著無袖短衫,頭戴氈帽,手執扁骨及嗩吶,此類鼓吹玩耍的形象多出現於瓷器之嬰戲圖,參考一件北京故宮藏乾隆粉彩綠地嬰戲圖瓶,其中有童子吹嗩吶及敲鼓形象可比較之,見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品大系:琺瑯彩·粉彩》,香港,1999年,圖版121, 頁138。 H.Garner爵士認為琺瑯器中人物形象十分收件,可參考一件R.H.Palmer伉儷舊藏之十七世紀晚期掐絲琺瑯童子騎馬像,見H.Garner爵士著,《Chinese and Japanese Cloisonné Enamels》(中日掐絲琺瑯),倫敦,1962年,圖版76。琺瑯器中大象的形象常馱寶瓶,寓意太平有象,而馱寶閣的例子頗為少見,北京故宮所藏清代宮廷鐘錶中倒常見動物馱寶閣的例子,如一件銅鎏金仙鶴馱寶閣座鐘,其寶閣内外兩層,和本件寶閣有異曲同工之妙,見《China: The Three Emperors, 1662-1795》,倫敦,2005年,圖版93,頁199; 另有一件銅鍍金象馱寶塔變花轉花鐘,十八世紀英國製,亦可比較之,見故宮博物院編,《故宮經典:故宮鐘錶》,北京,2008年,圖版99,頁172。還可比較一件佳士得香港售出一件清十八世紀 鏨胎掐絲琺瑯嵌寶石太平有象燭台,2017年4月4日,拍品編號198。由此或可猜想,象馱寶塔或閣樓的形象乃是西方眼中的東方意趣,實則是太平有象題材的演繹。舊藏者Nellie及Basil Inoides伉儷與中國文物淵源頗深,Inoides氏的收藏側重清代及二十世紀的中國美術品。這一傳統沿襲子Nellie的父親—Marcus Samuel((1853-1927),第一代Bearsted侯爵,他創辦了荷蘭皇家殼牌公司,主要收藏繪畫和傢倶以裝飾埃特姆莫特莊園。Basil的祖父Alexander Constantine Ionides (1810-1890)曾是英國藝術的主要贊助人。Nellie和Basil伉儷對雕塑情有獨鐘,參見一組象牙畫琺瑯童子跪像,見R. S. Jenyns著,《Chinese Art III》,紐約,1965年,圖版96。
