清 【小银船】

　　
小银船，清，高26厘米，长24.5厘米，宽7.5厘米。
　　
中间的小银船为中国传统式样，船体上还有麒麟、卷云等纹饰，船上阁楼有中式菱格窗，船底有轱辘，船尾可上弦，这很可能是一件能放在地上跑的玩具旱船。

狀況報告
Excellent overall condition, including original carved walnut base. Some distortion to rigging, with five tiny breaks to lines. There should be lines threaded through the fore-mast (which is pierced for rigging) so there may be some losses or re-arrangement to the lines. There may have been a small pennant on the fore-mast (but there were none on the Henry Ford example). Again, overall extremely fine condition.
This lot includes an old (probably original) wood packing crate.

拍品專文
Omar Ramsden (1873-1939), the most successful silversmith of the English Arts & Crafts movement, created only three nefs in his prolific 40-year career. Considered the most important of his secular commissions, these spectacular objects took their inspiration from silver ship models used in medieval times as symbols of rank at the banqueting table.

Ramsden’s Workshop Books, now in the library of Goldsmiths’ Hall, indicate that the first nef was commissioned by Henry Ford in 1922, requiring over 1,100 hours of labor. Ramsden made the second nef for presentation by British merchants to Sir Percy Cox, diplomat in the Middle East, in 1923. Both these nefs survive and have been well published in recent years. Ford’s nef sold Christie’s, New York, 20 April 2005, lot 36 and Cox’s nef sold Christie’s, London, 20 April 2005, lot 36.

The last and ‘lost’ Ramsden nef, recently discovered, was commissioned by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (later British Petroleum) in 1928 and presented to James A. Jameson, a valued employee of the firm in 1929. The nef appears in Ramsden’s Workshop book as Order 2862 priced at GBP315-0-0. Ramsden completed additional orders for the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. from 1927-32 including a miniature nef, two caskets, an “Argentine” dish and a mazer which was sold to James Jameson.

The extraordinary workmanship of this nef was recognized at the time. Silversmith Leslie Durbin had seen it during his apprenticeship to Ramsden, writing that he was “staggered by the way in which the sails were chased-they were really works of art in themselves.”

Glasgow-born James Alexander Jameson went to Persia in 1909, as an assistant engineer for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. He remained there for eighteen years, becoming general manager of fields and refineries. In 1927 he returned to London as general manager of the Anglo-Iranian Production Department. He was awarded a CBE for his many contributions to the field of petroleum exploration and production; he was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour upon the opening of the Iraq pipeline in 1935 and became a director of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company Limited in 1939.

象牙镂雕群仙祝寿图龙船，高58厘米，长91.5厘米，宽23.5厘米。

龙船昂首翘尾，内设3层楼阁，上层置龙凤旗和伞盖，中层有宽阔的平台，下层为船舱。每层均雕梁画栋，玲珑剔透，纤巧精丽。舟中王母、众天女、八仙、福禄寿三星以及船夫、乐手等共42人。

此龙船是清宫内务府大臣在慈禧太后六旬生日时进献的贡品，为广州象牙作坊中的牙匠奉命制作的。作者采用镂刻、浮雕、圆雕、拼镶、染色等多种技法，舟身鳞片密结，楼阁灵秀华丽，勾莲、宝相、瓜果等花纹繁复多变。作为一件大型的陈设器，此作在晚清时期的牙雕工艺品中首屈一指。
