This season's exceptional sale of Fine Chinese Art at Bonhams, held in our New Bond Street premises on 5 November 2009, sold 78% by lot and 94% by value, netting a total of just over £5 million. A selection of twenty archaic and early bronzes from the collection of Wing Commander Lord Cunliffe, acquired in London in the 1940s and 1950s, sold for almost £1 million, with an Early Western Zhou gui selling for £490,400. Other sale highlights included a rare cloisonné and champlevé enamel figure of a Guanyin, sold for £305,600; an Imperial Guangxu white jade seal, sold for £322,400; a rare pair of archaistic Qianlong mark and period jue vessels, sold for £168,000; and a rare zitan 'dragon' table, sold for £120,000.
With auction prices at record levels in many cases, we will be pleased to provide no-obligation auction estimates for Chinese or Southeast Asian art you may consider consigning for our next international London auction on in 2010.
