A LARGE BRONZE MALAY BORNEO RITUAL KETTLE WITH ANIMALS AND GUARDIAN FIGURES Possibly Brunei or Sarawak state, Borneo Island, Malaysia, 19th centuryThe heavy cast bronze ceremonial vessel resting on a tapering, conical foot, rising to a wide, stepped, circular rim featuring two rows of applied cast bronze animals, both mythical and real, like dogs, lions, deer, foxes, and qilins, and fearsome warrior figures, possibly guardians, with tall spiky headdresses and sharp spears, their attire reminiscent of Chinese warriors, the kettle's circular opening covered with a hemispherical lid surmounted by a mythical creature reminiscent of aquatic makaras or dragons, flanked by two squatted bare figures with exaggerated facial features and large eyes, reminiscent of wooden Dayak Hampatong statues of guardian spirits and ancestors typical of the Kalimantan area (Borneo), hinged to a horseshoe-shaped spiky handle with bronze rivets styled as flowerheads, at the top of the handle a gecko next to a large rosette, an auspicious animal in South East Asian cultures.27.5cm diameter and 38cm high An undoubted symbol of high social status and remarkable example of Malay bronze casting techniques, this very elaborate kettle would have only been used in special occasions like weddings or other ritual ceremonies for ablutions or hands washing, a recurrent practice among the Iban people on Borneo. Despite the spread of Sunni Islam in the Malay Archipalego and Borneo specifically, several elements of the decorative repertoire on this kettle are indebted to the Chinese traditions (e.g. guardian figures, fo and qilin animals). The National Museum of Singapore owns a similar vessel and attributes it to Sabah in East Malaysia. Another kettle in the Asian Civilization Museum (ACM) collection is instead attributed to Brunei (inv. no. 04066). These differ from the present kettle in that the cast figures are smaller. For further reference: Baldev Singh, Malay brassware, Singapore National Museum, 1985, and L. Chin, Cultural Heritage of Sarawak, Sarawak Museum, 1980, p. 46. 27.5cm diameter and 38cm high Qty: 1

JOHN THOMAS SETON (BRITISH 1738 - 1806) PORTRAIT OF MR AND MRS JOSEPH CHAMPION, WITH AN ELEPHANT IN THE LANDSCAPE BEYOND Oil on canvas 88 x 69cm (34½ x 27 in.) Painted in Calcutta, circa 1780. Provenance: The Collection of William Drummond of Hawthornden, near Edinburgh The Collection of Roger Warner Burford, acquired by the present owner in 1977 Literature: M. Archer, India and British Portraiture 1770-1825, p.108-109, ill. plate 63 John Thomas Seton (circa 1735 - circa 1806) was a Scottish painter who travelled to India in 1776. Prior to this, Seton was taught in London by Francis Hayman, where he also studied at the St Martin's Academy. In his twenties, Seton went on the Grand Tour to Italy, travelling to Rome where he helped to buy paintings for Lord Bute's collection. On his return, he settled in Edinburgh where he painted the portraits of Scotland's high society figures of the day. It is unclear what the exact motivations were for Seton to go to India, but the Scottish community in India was substantial, and in her book, Mildred Butler suggests Seton may have believed he was going to a home from home. At this time Tilly Kettle, was achieving notable success in India. Between 1761 and 1772, Seton exhibited at the Society of Artists, which means he was almost certainly familiar with Tilly Kettle's portrait of the Nawab of Arcot and his sons, which was exhibited in 1771. Bearing this in mind, a move to the continent must have seemed a promising gamble for an struggling artist working in Britain such as Seton. Leave was granted to Seton in November 1775, and by August 1776, Seton had arrived in Calcutta, about five months after Kettle had left. Seton's reputation grew quickly, and in 1780, he was commissioned to paint the present lot; a wedding portrait of Joseph Champion and his wife, Ann Forbes. The pair are depicted sitting on a bench, which opens on to the Indian landscape, where an elephant can be seen with his rider in the background to the left. The wedding took place on 12 May, and both Mr and Mrs Champion are depicted holding palm-leaf fans to combat the hot weather. The portrait must have pleased the Champions as three years later Joseph commissioned to further, half-length, portraits of himself and his wife (these were sold at Christie's, 17 March 1978). Champion was a company servant who had been posted to India in 1778. A year later he was made Paymaster to the Cavalry Brigade, and the following year, in 1780, he and Ann were married. Champion showed a keen interest in Persian literature, publishing three books on the subject; Poems Imitated from the Persian; The Poems of Ferdosi, and Essays Characteristic of Persian Poetry. These works were all published in India, and demonstrate Champion's enthusiasm for and knowledge of Persian poets and poetry, in contrast to works of Classical Greek, Roman and English poets which were often the focus of the Western world. An anonymous reviewer in The Monthly Review, August 1790, described Champion as the 'Persian Homer'. (New Catalogue, pp.329-31). In 1784, Champion became a member of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. He also wrote his own poetry; in 1786 he published a compilation entitled Poems addressed to Mrs Champion, by her affectionate husband, dedicated to his wife, who was described as 'the most handsomest woman that ever left Europe of India' ('Obituary of Considerable Persons; with Biographical Anecdotes', The Gentleman's Magazine 61, June, 1792, p.576). Ann died in October 1791, at the age of twenty eight, and this seems to have induced Joseph to suffer a mental breakdown. In 1792, after sailing back to England, the Calcutta directors of the company wrote to the Court of Directors asking for a subsistence allowance for him during the 'suspension...of his mental facilities' and no loss of rank should he return to his duties (Fort William XI, p. 470). Champion appears not to have returned to India, and according to pension books at the India Office Library in London, the firm continued to pay an allowance to his guardians until his death, which is believed to have been around 1813. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. Some very light surface dirt. Light craquelure throughout. There is some evidence of very light paint loss scattered throughout, including to the sitters' faces, however this is barely noticeable and is the paint surface now appears to be stable. Some small patches of overpaint are visible in a raking light, including to the tree area above the elephant. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered retouching throughout, as well as a heavy varnish. Country of origin: IndiaCondition Report Disclaimer
