Results page from The Asian Works of Art Auction.
The principal part of this auction comprised a single owner Scottish collection of Chinese and Japanese artworks. Amongst the top lots was a stunning Japanese lacquered and Shibayama cabinet, and a richly carved Chinese stage cabinet, with both lots selling for ten times pre auction estimate.
As one of the most impressive auctions of Asian art to take place in Scotland in recent times, bidders from around the world paid almost £200,000 for the collection. Asian Art Specialist and Director Magda Ketterer commented, “This was a truly magnificent auction that emphasised the current strength of the international market for Asian art.”
