拍賣筆記 vol.246 邦瀚斯倫敦：覺是軒，東周錯銀銅環 - Bonhams London, Priestley & Ferraro, A Silver-Inlaid Bronze Disc, Eastern Zhou Dynasty

錯金銀工藝是東周時期的典型工藝，也是這類審美的機制巔峰。西周晚期，青銅器的紋飾和工藝逐漸粗糙，到了春秋戰國迎來了顛覆性的發揮，不僅在造型上氣勢致敬商周，在細部上更是達到了前所未有的華美和細膩。磅礴的氣勢中又不缺乏細膩，是概括這個時期的最好的形容。與孔子、莊子、墨子一個時代的精神背景下，春秋戰國的審美即神秘又值得探索。

The inlay technique of gold and silver (錯金銀) represents one of the hallmark achievements of Eastern Zhou craftsmanship and the culmination of its aesthetic refinement. By the late Western Zhou period, the decoration and workmanship of bronze vessels had begun to decline in intricacy, yet during the ensuing Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, metal artistry experienced a profound transformation. The bold and commanding forms of earlier Shang and Zhou prototypes were reinterpreted with unprecedented sophistication and opulence in detail.

This era embodies a striking duality—monumental in scale yet delicate in execution—a perfect encapsulation of its aesthetic spirit. Within the intellectual milieu shared by thinkers such as Confucius, Zhuangzi, and Mozi, the art of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods reveals a sensibility that is at once mystical, introspective, and deeply engaging, inviting continued exploration into the philosophical depth that shaped its material beauty.

收藏家簡介

Albert 與 Leonie van Daalen-Roell 夫婦出身於荷蘭著名收藏世家，數十年來所積聚藏品橫跨中國古代藝術、西洋古典繪畫、代爾夫特陶器、銀器與歐洲家具。二人對中國藝術的熱情始於家族所傳一件繪有 Sichterman 家徽的外銷瓷盤。Albert 追溯其祖先為荷蘭東印度公司孟加拉總督 Jan Albert Sichterman（1692–1764），後者長年旅居亞洲，歸國時攜帶大量中國藝術珍藏。此家族傳承亦使其後代延續對東方藝術的鑑賞與收藏。

Albert (1927–2018) and Leonie van Daalen-Roell (1930–2018) came from distinguished Dutch families with long traditions of collecting. Over the course of several decades, they assembled a wide-ranging collection that encompassed Chinese ceramics and works of art, Old Master paintings, Dutch Delft, silver, and furniture. Their acquisitions were made through leading international auction houses as well as prominent dealers in London and across Europe. Their particular passion for Chinese art was sparked by an armorial plate bearing the Sichterman coat of arms, inherited by Albert van Daalen-Roell. He traced his lineage to Jan Albert Sichterman (1692–1764), the celebrated Dutch East India Company (VOC) governor of Bengal, who spent 27 years in Asia and returned to the Netherlands with considerable wealth and an impressive collection of Chinese works of art.Compare with a related silver-inlaid bronze ring, Eastern Zhou dynasty, 3rd century BC, illustrated by J.Rawson and E.Bunker, Ancient Chinese and Ordos Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1990, pp.136-137, no.42, where the author notes that they may have been used as handles to embellish lacquer vessels.See a related gold and silver inlaid bronze disc, late Warring States period/Western Han dynasty, which was sold at Sotheby's New York, 18 March 2025, lot 142.
