A PAIR OF LARGE CINNABAR LACQUER GARLIC HEAD VASES, CHINA, 1800-1850
Each finely carved with an ovoid body supported on a short spreading foot and surmounted by a tall slender neck rising to a garlic mouth. Deeply carved around the body with shaped panels enclosing mountainous landscapes with scholars and attendants walking on terraces and pathways lined with rocks beneath aged pine and willow trees below swirling clouds against variously diapered grounds, surrounded by lotus scroll between bands of angular scroll at the shoulder and keyfret to the foot. The neck similarly carved with lotus blossoms borne on leafy vines. (2)


Provenance
: Valdemar’s Castle, Tåsinge, Denmark. A private collection in Germany, acquired from the above. Valdemar’s Castle was commissioned in 1639 by King Christian IV and was intended as the home for his son Valdemar Christian, who died before the castle was completed. In 1677, Denmark’s great naval hero Admiral Niels Juel (1629-1697) was given the title to the castle and the land on Tåsinge after his victory over Sweden in the Battle of Køge. The estate was transferred to him as payment for the Swedish ships captured in the battle. Here, his family has remained for 12 generations and almost 350 years. The present owner, Baron Juel-Brockdorff, who is the 11th generation of the Juel family, took over his childhood home from his father in 1971 and resides in the castle with his wife and family. The family’s collection includes important paintings, furniture, weaponry, and porcelain from all over the world.
