The Ai Lian Tang Collection - Gems of the Imperial Capital
The Ai Lian Tang Collection - Gems of the Imperial Capital

Panoramica della vendita

Following the resounding success of ‘The Ai Lian Tang Collection – 800 Years of Chinese Ceramics’ dedicated auction in April, Christie's unveils a new chapter this October with ‘The Ai Lian Tang Collection – Gems of the Imperial Capital ’. Bringing together 30 treasures associated with Beijing and the imperial court, the sale explores the remarkable breadth and depth of a distinguished collector's vision through works spanning porcelain, jade, lacquer and other imperial arts. From 127 2-1911, for more than six centuries, Beijing stood as the political and cultural centre of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, attracting the finest objects and craftsmanship from across the empire. Reflecting this rich legacy, the collection demonstrates an appreciati on not only for rarity and quality, but also for the diverse artistic traditions, cultural exchanges and technical innovations that shaped courtly life. Together, these works reveal a cosmopolitan world where imperial patronage, religious devotion, scholar ly ideals and exceptional craftsmanship converged.

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.
