Asian Works of Art

Skinner's October auction of Asian Works of Art will feature a recently discovered collection of rare jades acquired in China during the 1930's and 1940's.  The collection is highlighted by an imperial jade bowl from the Qianlong reign.  Other important early Chinese offerings include an early Ming gilt-bronze figure of Buddha, a carved rhinoceros horn cup, and a Jiajing imperial yellow bowl.  The sale will also feature a number of museum-quality Korean ceramics from the Koryo and Yee periods, fine Asian furniture examples, and a group of Chinese textiles.
