A SILVERED MINIATURE TANTO A SILVERED MINIATURE TANTO Japan, 19th century The saya (scabbard) finely incised and chased to depict prunus blossoms borne on leafy vines, all against a nanako ground, the flowers inlaid with coral cabochons. Enclosed within is a saber-shaped steel blade. A loose cord attachment to the side for suspension. LENGTH 11 cm Condition: Good condition with wear. Wear to the silver, some rusting, tiny nicks, and scratches. Provenance: Collection of Robert and Isabelle de Strycker, and thence by descent in the same family. An old collector’s label, ‘N, 335’. Robert de Strycker (1903-1968) was a French engineer who specialized in metallurgy. He was a Stanford graduate, a professor at the University of Leuven, a director of the Institute of Metallurgy at the Université Catholique de Louvain, and one of the most influential members of the faculty of applied sciences. After World War II, he made large contributions to France’s post-war recovery. Robert and his wife Isabelle (1915-2010) first encountered Chinese art at the British Museum during a stay in London in the 1930s. Enamored with the style and beauty, they both decided to study and collect Chinese works of art. In 1938 they eventually began to build their collection, buying from Belgian, Parisian, and English dealers. They kept close contact with the famous English collector Sir Harry Garner (1891-1977) and noted Czech collector and expert Fritz Low-Beer (1906-1976). In 1964, the couple lent 174 objects from their collection to the Belgian city of Leuven’s museum for an exhibition titled Oude kunst in Leuvens Privébezit (‘Old Art in Private Collections in Leuven’), and in 1967 they lent around thirty Japanese objects to the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels for their exhibition Kunst van Japan im belgischen Privatverzameingen (‘Japanese Art in Belgian Private Collections’).
