PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE ENGLISH COLLECTION (LOTS 55-57)Christie’s is delighted to be entrusted with this private collection of jade carvings and hardstones. A further sixteen lots from this collection will be offered at Christie's South Kensington on November 13. The collector developed a fascination with Chinese art in the 1950s and quickly became captivated by the beauty of jade carvings. He acquired the majority of carvings during the 1960s, buying from major international auction houses including Christie’s and Sotheby’s. A number of pieces are illustrated in early seminal works including Chinese Jades Throughout The Ages by S.C. Nott, London, 1936, and Early Chinese Jades by Pope Hennessy, London, 1923.
