Page 327 - Christies King St. FINE CHINESE CERAMICS AND WORKS OF ART

Christie’s is delighted to ofer for sale this selection of 12 lots from a
distinguished European collection.
The collection was lovingly amassed in a relatively short time, between
1956 and 1959. The collectors, who were diplomats stationed in Beijing,
recall fondly their nearly daily trips to antique markets and dealers in
Beijing, which led to a long-lasting and reliable cooperation.
The collectors, who were drawn by every aspect of Chinese culture, spent
all their free time learning about China, collecting art and also learning to
paint in Chinese style.
The selection of works of art on ofer here is a true testament to the
collector’s great taste, ranging from porcelain, metalwork and mainly
furniture. A further selection of works of art from the collection will be
ofered in our South Kensington rooms on the 11th of November.
