Fine Asian Works of Art

Sale number: 421&nbsp; &nbsp;Our bi-annual auction of Fine Asian Works of Art held on 02 December 2014, was the final auction to take place that year as part of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.asianartinlondon.com/">Asian Art in London</a>. Being held for the first time at Crosshall Manor, St Neots in Cambridgeshire, the 552 lot sale was very well attended and a great success, achieving in excess of £1.5million - making it one of Lyon &amp; Turnbull’s best sale that year.The top lot of the sale, a blue and white Meiping vase, sold for £289,250 after an energetic bidding war; the piece had excellent provenance coming from the estate of well-known author Lady Mary Stewart - just one of the many private collections that characterized the sale. Two further lots from the same collection received much bidding attention, most notably a carved hardwood brush pot selling for £58,850 and a carved rhinoceros horn libation cup selling for £51,650.“A combination of moving the sale closer to London and a continually evolving market threw up a number of surprises, none more so than the Meiping vase much to the delight of one of the beneficiaries who attended Tuesday’s sale. This new location has proved to be a winning formula and we very much look forward to holding both of our Fine Asian sales for 2015 in St Neots.” – Lee Young, Head of the Asian DepartmentOther highlights included an exceptionally rare celadon and blue glazed ‘dragon’ charger which soared past its estimate of £20,000-30,000 reaching £241,250, also a pair of Doucai ‘butterflies and flowers’ medallion bowls which after much pre-sale attention finally reached £91,250 (one illustrated top left by title).We were honoured to offer select lots from the renowned collection of Leonard Gow for a second auction in a row, and similiarly to the previous sale, the selection sold well. Standing out, were a pair of yellow and green ‘dragon’ bowls, Yongzheng mark and of the period, which made nearly five times their estimate settling at £31,250.

Parkhill has been the home of the Duncan family for over 200 years. Alexander Duncan acquired the property in 1799, when he retired from the East India Company, and built the house in 1804. The front has the classical Georgian architecture of that period. Alexander Duncan was a plant collecting pioneer in the 18th century who sent back hydrangeas and magnolias from Canton in China, and a tree peony, for which he received a fellowship of the Royal Society. A tree peony, identical to the one at Kew, and thought to be amongst the first to survive the sea journey back from China, was planted in the garden at Parkhill, and is now in the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh.

In 1905 another Alexander Duncan began a programme of alterations to the house which included moving the Doric porch from the front to the west side of the house and also adding the second floor. This involved moving the drive so that it terminated at the side of the house, thus leaving an uninterrupted view from the front of the house. One of the Duncan wives was the daughter of Robert Fleming Gourlay, a Fife laird and social reformer, who, taking up the cause of those less fortunate than himself, was an important participant in laying the foundation of the Canadian constitution. Many of the Duncans who lived at Parkhill had distinguished naval careers.
