AN IMPERIAL TIANHUANG ‘HANYUN ZHAI’ SEAL
JIAQING PERIOD (1796-1820)
The square columnar seal is carved in low relief depicting a
tranquil scene with a fishing boat gliding through the river flanked
by overhanging cliffs. The seal face is carved with the three
characters Hanyun zhai.
2 ¡ x 1 æ x 1 æ in. (6 x 2 x 2 cm.) high, 52.8 g, box
HK$1,000,000-1,500,000 US$130,000-190,000
The impression of the current seal is illustrated in Guo Fuxiang (ed.),
Qingdai dihou baoxi yinpu, vol. 9 -Jiaqing (II), Beijing, 2005, p. 200.
The impression of the current seal can be found in the Jiaqing
Emperor’s Baosou, compendium of seal impressions, and the size
and material recorded in the compendium match that of the current
seal. Notably the compendium states clearly that the seal is made
of tianhuang, and belongs to a set of three seals, the other two seals
reading shanli wanwu and zhenzhuo baijia (see Qingdai dihou baoxi
yinpu, vol. 9, Jiaqing (II), Beijing, 2005, p. 200). As such the current seal
was part of an imperial set that once belonged to the Jiaqing Emperor.
