Description

A BRONZE ‘LUDUAN’ CENSER, EARLY QING DYNASTY China, 17th-18th century. Finely modeled as a mythical beast standing foursquare, detailed with neatly delineated mane and tail above a stout body with stylized markings, the head forming the cover with bulging eyes, ruyi-shaped nose, and mouth agape revealing tongue and teeth.

Provenance: Austrian trade, by repute from a private estate.
Condition: Good condition with old wear and casting flaws, tiny losses, minuscule nicks, and light scratches, the underside with a minor old fill, few small drilled holes.

Weight: 1,822 g
Dimensions: Length 19 cm

The throne of the Emperor of China in the Hall of Supreme Harmony has two incense burners shaped as Luduans, the legendary Chinese auspicious creatures who can travel 18,000 li (9,000 km) in a single day and speak all world languages. A legend says that a Luduan once appeared to Genghis Khan and convinced him to abandon his efforts to conquer India.

The auspicious nature of luduan was particularly appropriate for the purpose of these censers. Cast with hinged or removable heads, they were made for burning incense and smoke would emerge from the beast’s mouth, animating and empowering the sculpture. As Chuimei Ho and Bennet Bronson note in their discussion of a pair of Qianlong cloisonné enamel examples from the Palace Museum, Beijing, included in the exhibition ‘Splendors of China's Forbidden City, The Glorious Reign of Emperor Qianlong’ by The Field Museum, Chicago, 2004, these burners were traditionally valued at the Imperial Court, as with their open mouths and smoke billowing forth, they were a reminder to the emperor that he should always be receptive to honest advice (see page 37).

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related bronze luduan censer, 7.5 cm high, bearing a Xuande mark, dated to the 17th century, at Sotheby’s London in Menagerie: An English Private Collection of Chinese Animal Carvings on 10 May 2017, lot 29, sold for GBP 13,125.
