Preface

The husband and wife duo who assembled this superb collection are
friends of almost thirty years. They are renowned among collectors
in the field and possess between them years of experience. Both are
courteous and well-respected, and considered role models for those
seeking the key to a successful marriage. Over the years, not only
have they provided each other mutual support in their business and
private lives, they are a truly perfect and happy couple. Their private
collection consists of the most exquisite jade carvings and rarest amber
playthings and most of these objects appear for the very first time
on the market in many decades. It is our honour at Sotheby’s to be
entrusted with this rare collection, which will undoubtedly be admired
by connoisseurs around the world.
