Auction introduction: Tuyet Nguyet (1934-2020) and Stephen Markbreiter (1921-2014) were passionate collectors of Asian Art, their comprehensive collection including a diverse range of arts from different cultures. Following the recent successful sales of gilt-bronze Buddhist metalwork, jade carvings, China trade paintings and snuff bottles, this online auction presents a remarkable assemblage of antique gold jewellery. Tuyet Nguyet passionately acquired her jewellery collection over a span of forty years, with the aim of collecting the finest examples from Java, Khmer, Burma, Vietnam and Tibet. The sale also features the most remarkable group of gold rings from the Angkor period, 9th century, their superb workmanship and sumptuousness indicating they were made for the royal court.
