Overview

Rare Masterpieces of Asian Art

The Rarest of the Rare: An Extremely Rare Black Lacquered Vase

Sotheby’s upcoming Arts d’Asie auction will take place at the Galerie Charpentier in Paris on 11 June 2019.

We are honoured to present for sale seven sculptures from a Swiss private collection that was formed over 50 years ago in London and Paris, guided by well-known specialists. The highlight of the collection is a rare large sandstone head of Buddha which stylistically can be dated to the late 7th century/early 8th century. It was acquired in 1967 from Samy Chalom in Paris. Chalom had purchased the head from the family of a certain M. Raufast, a French collector of Chinese paintings, works of art and sculptures active in the early decades of the 20th century.  

Moreover, the sale presents a strong group of Chinese and Himalayan buddhist gilt-bronzes from various private collections, among them a well-cast gilt-bronze figure of a Bodhisattva, possibly Manjusri, made during the Yongle period of the Ming dynasty, originally acquired by the family of the present owner from the collection of Andre Schoeller in Paris in 1956. A rare 18th century Mongolian gilt-bronze figure of Amitayus, and a large gilt-bronze figure of Buddha seated on a stepped lotus throne from a Belgian private collection, as well as a group of three unusual Nepalese figures of Chakrasamvara complete the sale.
