Auction introduction: This season, the Asian Art sale will showcase rare imperial jade objects from China, including an important historical seal dating back to the reign of Emperor Qianlong, which comes from a private French collection, and a set of jades from a prestigious European collection. This collection was acquired in London between the beginning of the 1960s and the 1980s, and includes pieces obtained at public auction and from large specialist dealers such as Spink & Son Ltd. Another magnificent European collection of Buddhist sculptures, cloisonné works, archaic bronzes and porcelains completes this selection of fine objects, ensuring that the Paris sale will be an exceptional event.
