After two days exhibitions and two days auctions, China Guardian Hong Kong 2016 Autumn Auctions presented 8 sessions of over 1000 beautiful art pieces, and have successfully completed with the total sales of 338 million Hong Kong dollars.
Through worldwide consignments, China Guardian (Hong Kong) managed to bring together various types of art objects from all over the world, including Chinese paintings and calligraphy, oil paintings, Chinese ceramics, jade and furniture. Reliable and traceable sources and profound backgrounds of these collections contributed to reasonable valuations.
The success of this Autumn Auction relied on the support from our friends old and new. Not only we had biddings from local collectors here in Hong Kong, newly merged buyers from Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Europe, The US, Australia and other countries also bided actively. For example, the top seller of this Auction, “Literatis in Lanting” by Fu Baoshi broke the personal record of this type of paintings. This masterpiece from the collection of a French diplomat, attracted biddings from more than ten collectors from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and North America.
The Rare and Important Ming Blue and White 'Dragon' Bowl which was acquired by Bluett & Sons, a London antique dealer collected from the original collector, General Haughton in 1948. Later on, Gertrude and Otto Harriman(1948-1970) acquired it from Bluett and Sons, until recently, it has remained within the family collection. In this auction, it was successfully acquired by a local collector of 13.95 million Hong Kong dollars.
To conclude this Autumn Auction, on behalf of China Guardian (Hong Kong), we’d like to take the opportunity to express our gratefulness to all our friends, buyers and collectors, and we sincerely looking forward to seeing you again in China Guardian Hong Kong Spring Auctions 2017.
