Detail: This sale is highlighted by two Imperial Qing dynasty jade seals from the collection of Emile Guimet (1836–1918), the founder of the eponymous Asian Art Museum in Paris. It also includes a collection of archaic jades assembled in Hong Kong from the 1950s, Yixing stoneware from a prominent English collection, and a selection of Song ceramics together with early Buddhist sculptures and bronze animal paperweights. Incorporating for the first time other collecting categories, this sale will exceptionally feature a fine group of Japanese woodblock prints from a private Hong Kong collection, among them the famed ‘Great Wave off Kanagawa’ by Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), from the series of the Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji.
