Menuki bow arrows and quiver in copper and gold plain iron fuchi (kashira missing)Provenance: gifted in 1962.Lots 539-543 comprise a collection of Japanese edged weapons assembled by the late Mr MacCormick between 1953 and 1963, with one final addition added in 1998. They were all purchased within the UK at local auctions, antique shops or privately. They have never been submitted for shinsa. All of the works are in largely untouched condition and a professional polish would undoubtedly reveal more detail of hada, hamon and boshi. Equally the koshirae include a number of interesting tsuba and small fittings which are worthy of further study and preservation. Mellors & Kirk gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Paul Bowman in the cataloguing of this collection

• LONG SCROLL GILT EMBOSSED LEATHER PAPER,
  LONG SCROLL GILT EMBOSSED LEATHER PAPER, KINKARAKAWAKAMI, BY ROTTMANN STROME AND CO MEIJI PERIOD, 1884-1890 ?? ?1884-1890? '????? ?????'? ???? ???? ??leather, gilt decorated with hibiscus flowers in tendrils, a rectangular label on reverse stamped '????? ????? (Rottmann Strome and Co.)' with Mount Fuji image(1)648cm x 88cmProvenance: Private English collectionNote: Kinkarakawakami(gilt foreign leather paper) was the Japanese name for gold embossed leather paper.Embossed leatherkinkarakawa(gilt foreign leather) was introduced to Japan by Dutch traders in the seventeenth century and the fashion for tobacco pouches and other personal effects grew amongst the Samuri class. This led to a widespread interest in this luxury product. Japanese craftspeople began to experiment, recreating the leather effect on paper. This also allowed the items to be used in temples as it was vegetarian. It wasn’t until the Meiji Restoration period (1868-1912) that the technique was perfected and exported. It was popular as a wall covering in Western-style houses in Japan, but as an exported product it led to the establishment of a prosperous industry that was overseen by the Japanese government. One company that had a lucrative contract to export these products was Rottmann Strome and Co., a well-known British company who were contractually aligned with the Japanese Government from 1884 to 1890.By the 1880s Japanese leather wallpapers displaying international designs were finding an assured market in the West. Historians credit Alexander Rottmann with its growth. He began by engaging Japanese artisans in small shops and ended by establishing a large enterprise under the auspices of the Japanese government. At the Imperial Printing Works in Yokohama, where bank notes, primers and state documents were printed, Rottmann gained the assistance of government officials in setting up a section for the manufacture of embossed leather hangings in styles and in a format (rolls) suited to the Western market. He organized the house of Rottmann, Strome and Co., Yokohama and London, in 1883 with exclusive rights to export leathers. Some displayed Japanese elements of design, others imitated Renaissance leathers. A number were designed by well-known British artists such as Arthur Silver and Harry Napper. As Western demand increased the government opened a Tokyo factory. About 1890 both operations were relinquished by the government and purchased by Rottmann, Strome and Kobayishi Beiki as the Yamaji Hekishi Shawan Paper Co.[1]Rottmann's papers were "non-arsenical, damp-proof, washable . . . more durable than any other material of a similar character."[2] In 1884 the company obtained a gold medal at the London International Health Exhibition and in 1885 a silver medal at the Antwerp Exhibition.[3] The firm's 1886 statement that it was the "original manufacturer of the highly embossed Japanese Wall Hangings which require no after treatment."[4] [1] Leung, Felicity L. 1988. “Japanese Wallpaper in Canada, 1880s-1930s”.

• JADEITE CARVING OF A MONKEY 19TH-20TH
  JADEITE CARVING OF A MONKEY 19TH-20TH CENTURY ??????? ???????realistically carved as a crouching monkey, left hand placed behind its head, right palm rested on right knee, on a fitted wooden stand(1)4cm highProvenance: Private Scottish collection, Harrietfield, Kelso; previously from the family estate bought in 1847, Newton Don, Kelso, thence by descent.Newton Don lies in the lowland hills near Kelso, overlooking the Eden Water, a tributary of the Tweed. It owes its name to the Don family who first acquired the former manorial lands of Newton around 1648. Sir Alexander Don inherited the estate and baronetcy in 1776 and over the next forty years the family brought about significant change. The Dons sought to expand the pleasure grounds and to create a secluded, fashionable, country seat and by 1800, a visitor described the estate as a ‘remarkably pretty, cheerful place’. Between 1817 and 1820 renowned English architect Sir Robert Smirke (1781-1867) made considerable alterations to the eighteenth-century house, for which Robert Adam had prepared the original plans. Unfortunately, the transformation had strained the family coffers to such an extent that the estate was sold in 1847. Harrietfield was the farmhouse of the Newton Don estate home farm. It may have been built after the marriage of Lady Harriet Cunningham to Alexander Don in 1778, hence the name.
