The sale of Fine Asian Art at James Adam in Dublin got off to a rollicking start this afternoon. Bidders on various internet platforms, Drouot and on the telephone vied for Fine Art from China and Himalaya on the first day of the sale. The most expensively estimated lot of the auction, Lot 18 – a Chinese School scroll with the signature of Giuseppi Castiglioni, known as Lang Shining made a hammer price of €110,000 over an estimate of €10,000-€100,000. A yellow glazed Hundred Shou Qing Dynasty cup with an estimate of 500-700 made a hammer price of 3,800 and most lots so far have attracted considerable competition. The auction is continuing.
