VERY RARE CHINESE CARVED FOSSILIZED DINOSAUR BEAR FIGURE HAN DYNASTY PERIODJOANIES NO RESERVE FINE ASIAN ARTS ESTATE AUCTION! Hello, Many Thanks for viewing our auctions!
Joanies is very excited to be offering a fine and rare selection of Ming and pre Ming ceramics and other interesting objects including examples from the important estate collection of the late Mr. Pao. We have offered several items from this collection over the past couple years and have now been asked to offer t...he remaining pieces. Mr Pao was a personal friend and was highly respected as a knowledgable scholarly collector and Chinese art dealer during the 1960-90s period. Mr. Pao owned a high end Chinese art gallery in the prestigious Four Seasons hotel in Toronto that has been closed for around 20 years now. The sale also includes an important set of five early Ming dynasty Buddhist emblems that were deaccessioned by the Royal Ontario Museum c1969.
A number of the items being offered from the collection were scheduled to be sent to New Yorks’s high end auctions, but due to large sale delays and other issues this year the estate had asked us to offer All the remaining items. A great and rare opportunity to acquire some investment-grade examples. This will be our Last large Asian art offering of the winter season.
Over the past 20 years Joanies has hosted Hundreds of estate auctions, auctioning upwards of 100 thousand fine estate items during this time. And during this entire time Joanie's has Never had a Reserve on one item ever! We take great pride in only offering fine quality and authentic fresh to market estate antiques, items that we know have been with families for decades or generations.
We also offer great combined shipping deals if you are interested in more than one item being offered.
Very best of luck to everyone with interest! Joanies
