Lot Essay

A comprehensive study on Chinese Ivories in the collection of Sir Victor Sassoon, formed in Beijing between 1915-1927, with many pieces "purchased from the Manchu family, whose forbears had received them as gifts from the Imperial Court, others were bought from temples, both Taoist and Buddhist" (preface).
