This spring, Christie's Hong Kong celebrated its 30th anniversary with a strong season of diverse sales. Hong Kong Week saw exceptional results for important pieces across a range of categories, including a Xuande Imperial Ming blue and white 'Dragon' jar, the 5.03 ct. Aurora Green diamond and a Himalaya Birkin bag. Our anniversary auction, 30 Years: The Sale — the first ever cross-category sale in this region — was 100% sold, demonstrating an appreciation for curatorial innovation among collectors.

We are now accepting consignment for our upcoming auctions, to find out more about buying and selling with Christie's, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you again soon as Christie's begins its 250th anniversary celebrations in Asia.
