(2) Provenance: from an English private collection, London. Previously in the collection of Lord Cunliffe (1899-1963). Considered one of the great collectors of Asian art in the mid-20th century, Lord Cunliffe was a prominent member of the Oriental Ceramic Society and the Honorary Keeper of the Far Eastern Collections at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. By the 1960s, his collection included over 600 pieces, featuring such prized works as his three Chinese 'Palace' bowls. His pieces were displayed in a number of OCS exhibitions in the 1940s and '50s, and a series of articles by Edgar Bluett on the Cunliffe collection were published in Apollo magazine in 1956. Alongside Chinese art, Lord Cunliffe also collected Japanese and Korean art. His taste for simple forms with minimal decoration, mentioned in R Davids and D Jellinek, Provenance, pp.132-133, must have been well suited to the aesthetics of Korean works, as seen in the present lot.

A LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI19TH CENTURYJapanese or Korean, seated in dhyanasana with his long draped robe partially concealing his feet, his hands resting on his lap in mida no join mudra, a serene expression on his face with downcast eyes and an urna to his forehead; his bowed head with tightly curled hair rising to a domed uishnisha, the figure raised on a large bronze lotus throne, the figure 41cm, 75.3cm overall. (2)Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, retained great popularity despite the gradual rise of transcendental Buddhism, particularly Pure Land and Chan or Zen practices. This model depicts a specific moment in the life of the founder of Buddhism, when he reached enlightenment during protracted meditation under the Bodhi tree. The figure's hands are arranged in the mida no join mudra, a Japanese variation of dhyana mudra in which the index fingers are brought together with the thumbs.

Karamono: Imported lacquerware - Chinese, Korean and Ryukuan (Okinawa), Selections from the Tokugawa Art Museum, vol.2, p.36, no.46, and p.21, no.20, for a similar floral dish with the signature of Zhang Cheng and the collector's mark Eisen or Egawa tobo, and a larger similarly marked dish decorated with birds and flowers, both in the Tokugawa Art Museum, Nagoya. Signatures on Chinese lacquerware are scarce, but that of Zhang Cheng is known on a number of high quality pieces from the Yuan and early Ming period. Zhang Cheng is recorded to have been active as a lacquer carver in the mid to late 14th century, with some of his pieces mentioned in the Gegu Yaolun (The Essential Studies of Antiquities), originally published in 1388 by the connoisseur Cao Zhao. A number of lacquer pieces with his signature also bear the later Japanese mark Eisen or Egawa tobo, possibly referencing the collection of an individual or a temple. Another example with this combination of marks is found on a dish, also with a decoration of birds and flowers, in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, illustrated in J Watt and B Brennan Ford, East Asian Lacquer: The Florence and Herbert Irving Collection, pp.68-69, no.19.元末/明初期 剔紅花卉紋碟《穎川東房》及《張成造》款來源：英國薩里郡私人收藏，2010年9月15日購於倫敦古董商Ben Janssens Oriental Art。成交金額將全數捐贈英國帕金森基金會。

The term "1911" is commonly associated with the M1911 pistol, a semi-automatic handgun that has played a significant role in firearms history. The M1911 is a single-action, magazine-fed pistol that was designed by John Browning and became the standard-issue sidearm for the United States military from 1911 until 1985. Here are key features and details about the M1911:1. **Design and Origin**: The M1911 was designed by John Browning and was adopted by the U.S. military in—you guessed it—1911. It replaced the previous standard-issue sidearm, the M1892 revolver.2. **Caliber**: The M1911 is chambered for the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge. The .45 ACP is known for its stopping power.3. **Single-Action Operation**: The M1911 operates in single-action mode, meaning the trigger performs only one function: releasing the hammer to strike the firing pin. The hammer must be manually cocked for the first shot, after which the semi-automatic action cycles.4. **7+1 Round Capacity**: The standard M1911 magazine typically holds seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, resulting in an 8-round total capacity.5. **Grip Safety**: One distinctive feature of the M1911 is the grip safety, a lever on the back of the grip that must be depressed for the firearm to discharge.6. **Thumb Safety**: The M1911 also features a manual thumb safety on the left side of the frame. This safety can be engaged to prevent the trigger from being pulled.7. **Steel Frame and Slide**: Early models of the M1911 were predominantly made of steel, contributing to the gun's weight and durability. Modern versions may use different materials, including aluminum frames for reduced weight.8. **Military Service**: The M1911 served as the standard-issue sidearm for the U.S. military through World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It was eventually replaced by the Beretta M9 in 1985, but the M1911 remains in use by some military and law enforcement units.9. **Civilian Use**: The M1911 gained popularity in civilian circles and among gun enthusiasts. Many firearm manufacturers produce civilian versions of the M1911, and it is widely used in competitive shooting sports.10. **Cultural Impact**: The M1911 has become an iconic firearm and has appeared in numerous movies, TV shows, and video games. Its design has influenced other handguns, and it continues to be a popular choice among gun owners.The M1911's longevity, reputation for reliability, and its role in military history have contributed to its status as one of the most iconic and recognizable handguns in the world.Measures 9 x 6 x 3.Wood.

The Willys CJ (later Jeep CJ) or 'Civilian Jeep' is a public version of the famous Willys Military Jeep from World War II. The first CJ prototype, the Willys CJ-2, was introduced in 1944 by Willys and the same basic vehicle stayed in production through seven variants and three corporate parents until 1986. The Willys CJ-5 (after 1964 Jeep CJ-5) was influenced by new corporate owner, Kaiser and the Korean War M38 Jeep. It was intended to replace the CJ-3B but that model continued in production. The CJ-5 repeated this pattern, continuing in production for three decades while three newer models appeared.This 1974 Jeep CJ-5 is a very rare right-hand-drive example, which has undergone a near complete body off restoration by Bespoke Traders, the original paint was kept for authenticity and protected by eight layers of clear varnish and the interior was trimmed in a yellow faux ostrich skin. This four-wheel-drive Jeep is boasting a 4.3 litre straight-six with a custom stainless steel exhaust system and a powder coated chassis and wheels. The air filter cover has been painted by artist Nina Brooke, to finish off this truly unique example. Having had a restoration costing far more than the estimate, this is the best way to enjoy the summer of 2024 and beyond.Consigned by Fraser Smith
