Asian Art 21st May – Sale Report As the first specialist sale of its kind to take place in the West Midlands and North of England, Halls Asian Art sale on 21st May lived up to expectations, delivering over 200 lots of Chinese, Japanese and Middle Eastern works to a rapidly growing market of collectors. The intensity of interest was clear prior to sale day in the unprecedented amount of enquires received from all over the world, and the number of buyers registering to bid online. The well attended viewing days served to underline the international reach that Halls now commands in Asian art’s burgeoning market place, with interested collectors flying in from China and traveling up from London, where many had been partaking in Asian Art Week in the capital.
The sale started strongly as the first lot of the day, a Chinese Ding Yao bowl with silver mounted rim from the Song Dynasty, sold for a more than triple top estimate £16,000, followed by a second Ding Yao bowl at £10,000. Both pieces were sold on behalf of a private collector and had links to the prestigious Percival David and ET Chow collections, demonstrating the power of provenance when it comes to achieving the highest prices at auction. The ceramics section of the sale performed well in general, with lots consistently reaching four figures, including a distinctively shaped 19th century Chinese underglaze blue and copper red porcelain mallet vase at £2,500 and a Chinese blue and white ginger jar from the Qing dynasty which sold to a determined telephone bidder for £2,000.
The most unusual lot of the day was a one of a kind letter, written in part by Chinese Taiping Tianguo Emperor 洪 秀 全 (Hong Xiu Quan) and bearing the official wooden seal mark of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The letter, dated 22nd November 1861, sparked great interest, finally selling for a hammer price of £12,000 after a frantic exchange that eventually saw a Taiwanese internet bidder win out.
Large butterscotch amber beads continued to prove a popular investment with Chinese and Middle Eastern buyers, with a graduated amber bead necklace, comprising twenty-three of the all-important butterscotch coloured amber beads, selling well at £13,000.
Japanese works of art, although seemingly overshadowed by recent interest in the Chinese market, performed solidly with a beautifully modelled figure of a Japanese bronze peacock dating from the mid Meiji period selling in the room for £2,600. Traditional Japanese woodblock prints also showed their enduring popularity, with a rare example by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) titled 'Night Rain at Teradomari', from the Souvenirs of Travel 2nd Series c.1921, selling online for £800 to an American collector.
