The biannual Chinese and Japanese sales offer a wide range of fine works representing the richness and breadth of East Asian ceramics, sculptures, bronze and works of art.
We are pleased to present ceramics and works of art from private collections across the UK during Asian Art in London week in our forthcoming sale on 6th November at 2pm. Highlights include a small collection of Chinese works of art for the scholar's table, collected by a naval captain stationed in Hong Kong harbour in the 1860s. Also a striking Japanese six-fold screen ‘Egrets in Snow’ from the collection of a Lady; a private collection of Chinese snuff bottles; a Chinese white jade ‘peach and bat’ group from the Qing Dynasty, acquired in the 1960/70’s; and a rare Chinese stone panel from the Property of Peter O’Toole.
The sale also includes an interesting selection of 12th-19th century Chinese ceramics, Tang Dynasty bronzes as well as a small collection of Chinese modern art. There are also 19th century Chinese scrolls, hats and shoes. In the Japanese section there are bronzes, porcelain, stoneware and works on paper.
