The Henry Litton Collection
Henry Litton, born in Hong Kong, was a highly regarded Hong Kong-Chinese lawyer, a barrister, Queen’s Counsel, Justice of Appeal under the Crown and judge of the Court of Final Appeal after China’s resumption of sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997.
Some of the pieces in his collection came from his parents, having miraculously survived World War II; the rest he collected at auctions with Sotheby’s in London, and elsewhere.

西藏十四-十五世紀 丹薩替銅鎏金金剛亥母像
Meticulously crafted, she holds a chopper in her right hand and a skullcup in her left. She wears a beaded and festooned apron, multiple necklaces, armbands, and bracelets adorned with hardstones. Her face features expressively delineated brows and a third eye. Her billowing sash forms a mandorla. Based on the research by Jean-Luc Estournel in his article 'About the 18 stupas and other treasures once at the Densatil monastery,' it is possible that the figure belongs to Abbot 9 / Stupa 9 / Tashi Gomang 3: Dragpa Sherab (Grags pa shes rab) (1310-1370). The similarities in patterns and visual representation support this attribution. (Fig. 114-117).

清乾隆 新疆碧玉薄胎淺碗一對
A pair of Chinese green jade shallow bowls from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795) exhibit exceptional craftsmanship. These bowls are supported on short ring feet, and each is meticulously carved with gently rounded sides that gracefully rise to a finely polished rim.

A BLUE-GROUND EMBROIDERED SILK 'DRAGON' ROBE (JIFU)
QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY
清十九世紀 藍地龍紋吉服
This great example of a late Qing Dynasty dragon garment showcases exquisite embroidery featuring dragons, a symbol of imperial power and authority.
During the Qing Dynasty, the design of robes, especially those adorned with five-clawed dragons, was strictly regulated to signify the status of the wearer. This particular robe, with its intricate dragon embroidery, would have been reserved for certain princes and emperors. The detailed craftsmanship and luxurious materials reflect the robe's importance and the distinguished rank of its owner, making it a significant piece of Qing Dynasty attire.
Minghuang, or bright yellow (used for court ceremonies and sacrificial activities) and Jifu (worn during major celebrations and sacrificial activities) were reserved for the emperor, the empress dowager, and first-rank consorts in formal occasions. Other colours, such as Jinhuang, or golden yellow; Xinghuang, or apricot yellow; and Xiangse, or incense colour (a yellow with a slightly greenish tint); Qiuxiangse, usually a shade of brown or plum were used by various levels of the imperial family. Lower-ranking members of the imperial family wore robes with a blue ground.
The emperors also wore other colours on certain occasions. Blue was used for ceremonies at the altar of prayer for good harvests (Gutan) and the round altar of heaven. The emperor's everyday attire was not strictly regulated in terms of color.

AN EXCEPTIONAL IVORY FLOWER BASKET
QIANLONG PERIOD, QING DYNASTY (1736-1795)
清乾隆 象牙雕鏤空花籃
This exquisite Ivory Flower Basket marvels with its dental carving finesse, particularly the art of hollow carving. Ivory slices, ground to sheer thinness and patterned, narrate stories through relief-carved flowers, birds, figures, and landscapes. The labor-intensive creation involves dozens of hollow pieces, culminating in an elaborate yet ingeniously crafted design. A playful, citrus-knobbed conical hat tops it off, while six flower-framed sections below unfold with decorative motifs and sixteen vivid scenes of Qing dynasty life, showcasing nearly a hundred characters with distinct expressions. Harmonious and balanced, this piece epitomizes the refined Qing palace taste. A similar Ivory Flower Basket fetched 402,500 RMB at Poly Auction's 2011 Autumn sale (lot 7267).

晚清民國 程意亭 花鳥圖瓶
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, as the Imperial Kiln Factory declined, a group of ceramic artists emerged prominently. The Zhushan Eight Friends (zhushanbayou) were representatives of this group, nearly becoming synonymous with the porcelain of that era. Cheng Yiting was born in 1895 and died in 1948, living to the age of 54. He studied flower and bird painting under Pan Taoyu and Zhang Xiaogeng, and later went to Shanghai to study under Cheng Yaosheng. Cheng Yiting's work excelled in both meticulous and freehand styles, often featuring subjects such as pine cranes, lotus ponds, water birds, wisteria, and autumn chrysanthemums.

Several elements contribute to the ideal scholar's rock, historically referred to as 'fantastic rocks.' These include its geographic origin, along with the colour and texture of the stone. 'Rocks with somber hues are often prized for their sensual forms, whereas brightly coloured rocks are valued for their voluminous shapes that highlight their colours,' Antebi explains.
Various terms have been coined to describe the desired attributes of a scholar's rock, such as shou (meaning 'thin') and tou (indicating 'openness'). The presence of cavities in the rock is especially valued for the stark contrast they provide to the rock's solidity – and to light. Additional terms relate to the rock's age: gu signifies both 'ancient' and 'elegant,' while jue represents the pinnacle of praise, meaning 'perfect.'

The Tang dynasty, which arose in 7th century China, wielded significant influence over its neighbouring countries, earning it the title of the Great Tang Empire. This work is a pottery figurine of a Hu person, which broadly refers to foreign ethnic groups in Chinese art, specifically those from Western regions. This figure may represent a merchant who travelled back and forth along the Silk Road. Its deeply carved features, including a full beard, boots, and a coat, clearly distinguish it as non-Han Chinese in an exotic depiction. The figure still retains some of its original colouration applied over a white slip. The figurine's posture—holding something with its both hands—conveys the long journey from the West and the merchant's weariness.

$1,500–2,000
This is a camel figurine from the Tang dynasty. The Tang dynasty represents a magnificent era in Chinese history, characterised by its openness to external cultural influences. The Silk Road played a crucial role in introducing new ideas and visual inspiration from abroad. Highlighting the extensive reach of this trade route, the two-humped Bactrian camel was the favoured transportation for merchants. These camels could travel longer distances compared to their single-humped Arabian counterparts. Consequently, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, camels increasingly became a popular motif among artists and craftsmen.

日本十九世紀 鏤空嵌螺鈿嵌牙雕大櫃
Features elegantly hinged doors that showcase a delicate scene of birds frolicking among a myriad of blossoming flowers. This art piece is further enhanced by its intricate fretwork that supports an array of shelves and compartments on either side, offering both functional storage and aesthetic appeal. The craftsmanship reflects a meticulous attention to detail, making it not only a functional piece of furniture but also a stunning element of decor that captures the essence of traditional Japanese artistry.
In the 1850s and 1860s, Japan's initiation of extensive trade with the West ignited a substantial interest in Japanese design aesthetics. This cultural exchange profoundly influenced architects, designers, and artists in France and Victorian Britain, marking a significant period of cross-cultural artistic inspiration.

3RD CLASS ORDER OF THE LIBERATION PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (1950-1955)
二十世紀 三級解放勳章
The Order Of The Liberation Medal is a medal awarded by the government of the People's Republic of China to military personnel. It was the third level in the early military honour system of China. It was decided by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and awarded by the Chairman of the People's Republic of China. It was first used in 1955 and has since ceased to be awarded. It was awarded to members of the People's Liberation Army and civilian personnel, as well as former members of the Republic of China's National Army who participated in uprisings. It was awarded to individuals who served in the People's Liberation Army for more than two years during the Liberation War period (September 3, 1945, to June 30, 1950) without significant misconduct. The third level Liberation Medal was awarded to personnel who served at the level of a regiment, battalion, or equivalent cadre during this period.
