Note: The seal indicates that the painting was once in the collection of the Emperor Puyi (1906-1967), who became the Xuantong Emperor at the age of two in 1908 but was forced to abdicate in 1912 due to the Xinhai Revolution. The scroll also bears a second seal of Chen Ju - It is likely that this is the painter rather than a collector as there are several recorded artists selling at auction under the same name. £500-800

Huanghuali Furniture Huanghuali literally means 'flowering yellow pear' and is one of the most precious woods in the world. The species is grown mainly on Hainan Island in China with the finest specimens having a translucent shimmering surface with abstract figuring. Interestingly its uses go beyond that of furniture construction - the wood is used for spices as well as a treatment for hypertension. It's said that pillows made of Huanghuali relieve stress and improve blood flow, though this hardwood is more ideally suited to crafting into high quality classical furniture.

It is believed that as early as the Tang Dynasty (618-907) huanghuali was offered as a tribute to the Emperor. However, it was much later in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) when the production of furniture made from this precious wood really began to take shape. These early Ming

masterpieces notable for their simplicity and modesty are highly prized today. As taste began to change, these early pieces developed into more elaborately carved examples. It was then not until the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) that huanghuali furniture production really had its heyday.

Huanghuali furniture has enjoyed a sharp rise in recent years due to a high demand and limited supply – of note is an article written in The Independent newspaper highlighting that “The price of huanghuali furniture has increased 25 times in the past 20 years,” (The Independent, 18 September 2011). The high demand is maybe easier to understand when considering that the numbers of new huanghuali wood originating from Hainan are now so small that they have been placed under protection by the state to prevent the wood from becoming extinct.

Glossary of Cataloguing Terms Dore and Rees team members are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction, you are welcome to request condition reports. If you require clarification of any terms used in the catalogue please be in touch. We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored.

The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie. basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration. It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration. The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i.e. “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice.

For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark. Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation.

Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact. Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable.

Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage. Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers.

Paintings, Drawings and Prints

A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname or recognised designation of an artist is, in our opinion, a work by the artist, e.g. JOHN NASH

Attributed to JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Studio of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work by an unknown hand, which may have been executed in the studio of the artist.

Circle of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

Follower of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style but probably not necessarily by a pupil.

Manner of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date.

After JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a copy of any date after a work by the artist.

Signed/inscribed/dated JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist.

Bears signature/inscription/date JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the signature/inscription/date are probably not by the hand of the artist.

The addition of a question mark after any of the cataloguing terms in the above glossary indicates an element of doubt.

The term 'ascribed to' may in certain cases be used to denote a traditional attribution based on style.

A work catalogued as 'School' accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date mean that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in that location, e.g. Italian School, circa 1800.

All reference to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of work, i.e. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.

The use of inverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connection with a signature, or inscription (ie. signed “John Nash”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand.

Jewellery

The contents of any gemmological certificates accompanying lots in this sale are not guaranteed by Dore and Rees and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the contents of the certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the certificate issuer. All weights and measurements provided are approximate only. Prospective purchasers should assume that all coloured stones sold by Dore and Rees have been treated unless otherwise stated to the contrary in the catalogue description. Stones are commonly treated to enhance their colour and clarity. Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat treated and emeralds commonly oiled. Jade/jadeite is often bleached, polymer/resin filled or dyed.

Please contact Dore and Rees for more clarification on treatment in individual lots. Items containing rubies or jade/jadeite of Burmese origin are not permitted for import by the USA
