Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art
One of eight auctions celebrating New York’s Asian Art Week, the Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art sale offered by Christie’s contains items that can only be described as masterpieces. Almost 300 available lots range in value from $1,200 to $3.5 million, covering categories as diverse as furniture, religious statues, and decorative arts.
One of the most extraordinary lots is a rare folding chair from the Ming dynasty. Its horseshoe-back frame, graceful lines, and exotic rosewood materials make this a beautiful chair. Its history as one of only 30 known specimens used by those of imperial rank takes it beyond extraordinary. Another major feature in this auction is a carved jade dragon head—a ferocious and intricate piece with remarkably few imperfections for an item crafted between 618-907 A.D. To view these items and many more, visit Christie’s.
