This finely modeled terracotta figure represents a standing court lady from the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), a period celebrated for its vibrant court culture, poetry, music, and cosmopolitan aesthetics. The figure exhibits the characteristic full, rounded facial features and elaborate coiffure associated with Tang feminine ideals, along with gracefully draped robes that animate the garment folds and lend a sense of quiet poise. Traces of original pigment remain visible across the surface, a reminder that these figures were once richly colored. Court lady figures of this type were traditionally placed in tombs as mingqi, or “spirit goods,” intended to accompany and serve the deceased in the afterlife. Their presence also reflected the wealth and status of the household, making them historically significant markers of Tang elite culture. Today they hold strong appeal for collectors of early Chinese art due to their refined modeling, expressive restraint, and direct connection to one of China’s most culturally influential dynasties. The figure retains a pleasing archaeological surface with expected losses to pigment and earthen encrustations consistent with age and burial, and is in nice antique condition overall. The sale includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting its identification and period. An evocative example of early Chinese funerary...

From the 1912 Vanderbilt Hotel in New York City, Manhattan, located on Park Ave. In the 20th century, the hotel business declined, and the Vanderbilt Hotel suffered foreclosure in 1935 during the Great Depression. In 1966, an investment group purchased the 54-year old structure with intentions of renovating it into a dual function office and apartment building. The top 18 floors would become studio and one-bedroom apartments while the lower floors would be offices and commercial space. “New aluminum-and-glass curtain walls are being erected to sheath the office floors, while the masonry façade of the hotel will be retained on the upper stories,” said one article. But that was just the beginning of the brutality. Penthouse apartments were being constructed on the roof, but the view was obstructed by the terracotta parapet and its massive sculptures. In June 1966 eighteen of the heads were removed, resulting in a gash in the roofline. “The heavy pieces were removed over a period of several days by a 10-man crew of the Drachman Demolition Company,” said The New York Times, “which used jack...
