Detail: Highlights include two distinguished private collections of huanghuali furniture, marble carvings and scholars’ objects; 45 works from the renowned Muwen Tang Collection with a particular focus on Song ceramics; a pair of monumental archaic bronze jian vessels from the Spring and Autumn period (770 – 476 BC); and an exceptional selection of Ming and Qing porcelain, led by a rare large blue and white 'Dragon' dish from the Yongzheng period (1723-1735). Together, these works reflect the breadth and richness of Asian art and celebrate the return of Christie’s dedicated Fine Asian Art live auction to London.
