λ A SINHALESE CARVED EBONY LIDDED BOX WITH IVORY-INLAID FLOWER VASE DECORATION Galle District, Southern Sri Lanka, 19th centuryOf rectangular shape, finely carved from solid ebony, the exterior worked in high relief with lush foliage and dense lotus flower scrolls on all sides, the lid with later-added Western brass hinges and lock plate, the interior of the lid inlaid with a circular medallion infilled with a flowering vase motif with pomegranates and carnations rendered in stained and painted ivory, framed by a geometric fretwork border.32cm x 12.5cm x 14cm This type of box is characteristic of Galle work, a distinguished form of Sinhalese craftsmanship from the southern coastal region of Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), prized in the 19th century by British colonial patrons for its refined ebony carving and intricate ivory inlay. The florals and stylised vase draw from both indigenous decorative vocabulary and European export influences. λ This item may require Export or CITES licences in order to leave the UK. It is the buyer's responsibility to find out and conform to the specific export requirements of their country and ensure that lots have the relevant licences before shipping. 32cm x 12.5cm x 14cm Qty: 1

λ A SINHALESE CARVED EBONY PORTABLE WRITING CABINET WITH IVORY-INLAID LIONS Galle District, Southern Sri Lanka, 19th centuryOf rectangular shape, the hinged lid and sides richly decorated on the exterior with deep-relief scrolling palmettes and vegetal meanders, the interior of the lid with an inlaid ivory medallion depicting two heraldic lions upholding a pair of flags above the inscription ‘MATARA’ straigh and in reverse, referencing the historic port city of Matara on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, the fitted interior featuring intricate concentric dot inlay and an elaborately compartmentalised arrangement for writing implements, pens, and documents, with a foldable writing slope lined in blue velvet.39.2cm x 23cm x 13.5cm Matara, one of Sri Lanka’s most important southern cities, held strategic significance throughout the Dutch and early British colonial eras due to its thriving maritime trade, fortified stronghold, and role as a regional administrative centre, its emblem—the two lions—symbolises both local sovereignty and its ties to the Kandyan kingdom. This box is a product of the celebrated Southern Sri Lankan ebony workshops, renowned in the 18th and 19th centuries for their mastery of ebony carving and ivory inlay, merging indigenous Sinhalese craftsmanship with European forms and tastes introduced by Portuguese, Dutch, and British patrons. The distinctive deep-relief carving and meticulous ivory inlay exemplify the “Galle ebonyware” tradition, prized for its technical virtuosity and aesthetic sophistication. These luxury boxes were typically commissioned as prestigious desk accessories or diplomatic gifts, reflecting the cosmopolitan tastes of colonial officials and local elites. λ This item may require Export or CITES licences in order to leave the UK.

EDWARD LEAR (BRITISH 1812 - 1888) ON THE ROAD TO GALLE, CEYLON Watercolour, pencil and gum arabic, heightened with white Signed with monogram and dated '1876' (lower right') and inscribed and dated 'Road near Galle Decbr.1874' (lower left) 40 x 26cm (15½ x 10 in.) Provenance: Sale, Christie's, London, 20 March 1990, lot 97 Bill Thomson, London Sale, Christie's, London, Visions of India Including the Paul F. Walter Collection of Indian Photographs, 5 June 1996, lot 68 From an important collection in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, USALear went to India at the invitation of his friend, Thomas George Baring (1876-1904), later first Earl of Northbrook, who was then Viceroy of India (1872-1876). He spent the summer of 1872 in England and received so many commissions for his Indian trip that he knew it would be churlish not to go. After a false start in the autumn of 1872 he set out a second time the following year and reached Bombay on 22 November 1873. His first response to India was one of 'Violent and amazing delight at the wonderful variety of life and dress'. He felt 'nearly mad from sheer beauty and wonder of foliage! O new palms!!! O flowers!! O creatures!! O beasts!! - anything more overpoweringly amazing cannot be conceived!! Colours, and costumes, and myriadism of impossible picturesqueness!!!'. Lear travelled to Lucknow, Benares, Agra, Gwalior, Delhi, the Himalayas, Simla, Poona and Hyderabad. It was a demanding trip for someone of his age, he spent days in trains and gharries in oppressive, overwhelming tropical heat and freezing Himalayan winds. By November of 1874 when he arrived in Ceylon, he was absolutely exhausted but he still marvelled at the luscious foliage that had so struck him when he had first arrived in India. His trip had taken fifteen months in all and was the last and the longest trip of his life. Other versions of this work are in the collections of the National Galleries of Scotland and the Government Art Collection.   Condition Report: The sheet is in good overall condition and the colours are strong and fresh. There is slight discolouration visible in the lighter area of the sky. The watercolour is fitted into conservation housing and could be hung without further attention.  The watercolour was not taken out of the frame in the preparation of this report.
