The Ai Lian Tang Collection - Imperial Scholar's Objects
Sale Overview
The Ai Lian Tang Collection – Imperial Scholar’s Objects is an exceptional sale comprising 25 important Chinese works of art that have been carefully curated to illuminate the emperor’s life as a scholar and sovereign, emphasising themes of heavenly mandate, tradition, archaism, literature and Confucian ideals. The sale showcases extraordinary diversity — spanning Song ceramics, imperial porcelain, Buddhist art and imperial works of art — each category offering rare and remarkable masterpieces.
Special Notice
From June 2025, EU regulations 2019/880 and 2021/1079 introduce new licensing requirements and regulations relating to the import of cultural goods into the EU. We recommend clients check ahead of the sale whether the lot they wish to purchase and its import into the EU could be impacted by the regulations.
