Antique Burmese Gilt Lacquer Sadaik Manuscript Chest on an Associated Stand, late 19th century. The chest is constructed of teak covered in lacquer and gold leaf with a hinged lid and detailed decoration on four sides. The high relief thayo lacquer depicts narrative scenes from the Jataka tales, stories of the previous lives of the Buddha. Each tableau bordered by a tendril vine frame has reserve cartouches of birds or figures within. The narrative scenes are varied with a basic ground consisting of a field of linear components representing water and upright tendrils representing rice paddies. It is evident that a great journey is taking place with components such as wandering figures, elephants, deer, lions, serpents, tree spirits, foliage, trees and palaces rendered in relief. The elaborate high relief thayo lacquer is molded and modeled of a putty of lacquer sap mixed with clay, saw-dust, and/or ash. The interior and back are red lacquered. The large lid with overhanging lip is hinged at the back and a later interior brass side arm to prevent the lid from falling back. The added French style hardwood stand with cabriole legs, apron and shell designs appears to be of the same time period or possibly later. Condition: Minor lacquer losses and cracks around the lid frame. The gold leaf on the lid rubbed revealing the red lacquered ground. Other minor losses and restorations commensurate with age and use otherwise fine condition. Late 19th century. Size Overall: 38.75 in. high x 41 in. wide x 26.5 in. deep (98.5 x 104.2 x 67.3cm) Sadaik measures: 25 x 38.5 x 25.75 (63.5 x 97.7 x 65.4cm) Approximate Weight: 60 lbs. (27.2kg). Provenance: •Property of A Gentleman, 19 India Street, Edinburgh. •Christie’s South Kensington, 1 October 2002 “Holly House, Montrose And 19 India Street, Edinburgh Two Scottish Collections”, lot 298. •Olympia Antique Fair, London 2003 •William R. Eubanks Interior Design, Inc., Palm Beach, FL •Property from a Main Line Philadelphia Private Collector. •Freeman’s Chicago, European Furniture and Decorative Arts, January 27, 2026, lot 0297. •L’Asie Exotique, Palm Springs, CA Note: An old paper label affixed to the inside of the lid reads “Bought from Samuel in Oxford Street in 1909. It is old Burmese lacquer on a French teak stand.” It is possible that this chest was commissioned and sold by the trading firm F. Beato, Limited or a similar type of business. Felice Beato, the famous 19th century photographer of Asia set up his studio in Mandalay in 1890 and became a Burmese art dealer. According to his advertisements, he traded in wood carving, silverware, embroidery, ivory carving, silk and curios. This lucrative business thrived in collecting local artworks and selling them to the British. This business grew rapidly and soon opened branches in Rangoon, Colombo & London. The majority of Burmese manuscript chests...
