 “The art of fine carving stood out in the auction of the Yaogushanfang Collection, with collectors bidding for highly prized jade, symbolic of beauty and purity in Chinese culture. In The Pavilion sale, a Tang dynasty bronze octalobed ‘dragon’ mirror achieved multiples of its estimate and a fine and rare doucai ‘floral’ cup with a Yongzheng mark tripled its estimate. Overall, the sale demonstrated the demand for unique but affordable works of art in different media that reflect the creativity of Chinese culture.” said Chi Fan Tsang, Senior Vice President of Christie’s Asia and Head of Christie’s Hong Kong Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art Department.
