WASSERSPENDER IN FORM EINES FISCHES MIT BECKEN
China, Kupfer, ehemals vergoldet, wohl aus dem Yuanming Yuan, dem Alten Sommer-Palast, 18. Jahrhundert
Fisch: 50 x 22 x 18 cm, Gewicht: ca. 2250 g / Becken: 41 x 31 x 9 cm, Gewicht: 714 g

Mit Alter Sommerpalast wird ein ab 1709 ausgebautes Gebiet dreier Gärten in Peking bezeichnet. Der Komplex mit seinen zahlreichen Gebäuden war ab etwa 1725 die wichtigste kaiserliche Residenz der Qing-Dynastie. Beim Ausbau der Gebäude und der Anlage der Gärten orientierte man sich teils an französischen und italienischen Vorbildern. 1860 wurde der Palast von englischen Truppen zerstört und geplündert. Der Wasserspender und das muschelförmige Becken, welches stilistisch mit den Brunnen in den Gärten korrespondierte, wurde wohl später von Einheimischen entwendet. Die Vergoldung wurde abgerieben, um die Herkunft zu verschleiern. Provenienz: Mitteldeutsche Privatsammlung.

A CHINESE COPPER WATER DISPENSER IN FORM OF A FISH AND A BASSIN, formerly gilded, probably from the Yuanming Yuan, the Old Summer Palace, 18th c., fish: 50 x 22 x 18 cm, weight: ca. 2250 g / bassin: 41 x 31 x 9 cm, weight: 714 g // The Old Summer Palace is an area of three gardens in Beijing, which was built since 1709. The complex with its numerous buildings was the most important imperial residence of the Qing dynasty from about 1725. The style of the buildings and the gardens was partly based on French and Italian models. In 1860, the palace was destroyed and plundered by English troops. The water dispenser and the shell-shaped basin, which stylistically corresponded to the fountains in the gardens, were probably later stolen by local people. The gold plating was rubbed off to obscure the origin. Provenance: Central German private collection.
