Important Chinese Furniture and Works of Art

Important Chinese Furniture and Works of Art is led by a magnificent Yongzheng mark-and-period blue and white 'floral scroll' moon flask, an extremely rare Dehua figure of standing Damo and Chinese ceramics from the Collection of Thomas R. Vaughan (1908–1979), which includes three imperial Yongzheng yuzhi-marked falangcai pieces. The sale also features a large carved wood figure of Guanyin from the 11th to 12th century, a superb Yongle-period tianbai-glazed barbed ‘grapevine’ dish and a very rare huanghuali flush-sided corner-leg table. Classical Chinese furniture opens the sale and features a selection of important and rare examples from the Shanruoshui Xuan Collection, including works from the well-regarded exhibition Beyond the Screen at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Additional highlights include a curated selection of gilt-bronze figures and vessels from an important North American private collection as well as early Chinese jades from a distinguished private New York collection.
