18th/19th century

十八/十九世紀 白玉雕雙羊把件
Provenance: Sir George Mowlem Burt KBE (1884–1964), Surrey, and thence by descent
來源：大英帝國爵級司令勛章獲得者George Mowlem Burt爵士（1884-1964），英國薩裏，并由後人保存迄今
Born in Westminster on 10 January 1884, Sir George Mowlem Burt KBE joined the family firm, John Mowlem & Co., in 1902, following in the footsteps of his father and uncle. He subsequently became supervising director of the company and was involved in a number of major engineering and building projects. He was a prominent figure in the development of the civil engineering industry, serving as a founding member of the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors and on various Government committees and missions. He was also Master of the Worshipful Company of Paviors. Outside his professional life, Burt was a distinguished fencer, winning the British épée championship in 1922 and representing Great Britain in épée at the 1920 Olympic Games. He was knighted in 1942 and died at Blindley Heath, Surrey, on 1 September 1964. An enthusiastic collector of art, his collection included paintings, ivory, netsuke and jade.
During the Qing dynasty, the sheep or ram ( 羊) became associated through a homophonic pun with (陽), the positive and masculine principle in Chinese cosmology. The present lot makes the connection explicit by depicting the symbol between the two animals.
See a white jade carving of three rams also featuring a symbol, 18th century, which was sold at Bonhams London, 16 May 2019, lot 126.
