Japanese Art & Design

Anastasia von Seibold, Head of Sale, Japanese Art commented: “This is the highest auction total for a various owner sale in this category at Christie’s South Kensington to date, highlighting new vigour in the 17th century Japanese ceramics market. A recently discovered pair of Kakiemon tigers, the Property of a Lady and formerly in an Aristocratic European Collection, attracted competitive bidding and an exceptional price for these delightful creatures. This sale continues to highlight that the market seeks out fine privately sourced Japanese works of art.”
