An Asian private collection of Ming furniture comes up at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong on April 6. Every item in the collection was purchased from world-renowned Ming furniture dealer Grace Wu Bruce, revered as “the Queen of Huanghuali” in the world of Chinese furniture. Rarer still, most of the pieces offered have been widely published, their quality rivaling similar pieces in the world’s leading museums. Eight pieces of furniture and ten table-top pieces will be offered in a dedicated sale. Ming Furniture – An Asian Private Collection is in the Chinese Works of Art Spring Sale series. Here is a selection:
