Asian Art

Exceptional Works from China, Japan & Korea

The Asian Art market continues to demonstrate remarkable strength and sustained growth, with Chinese works of art commanding the greatest collector interest. World record prices are now regularly achieved for outstanding pieces from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Of particular importance are Imperial works of art -those once held within the interiors of the Forbidden City and other palace collections -which remain highly sought-after.

Duke’s holds two specialist Asian Art sales annually, offering a diverse and distinguished selection of porcelain, bronzes, jade, lacquer, paintings, scrolls, textiles, and furniture -predominantly from China, Japan, and Korea.

Recent highlights include:
- An exquisite celadon teapot, almost certainly created for the Emperor Qianlong, which achieved £1,000,000* at auction.
- A fine Chinese coral-ground bowl, which soared to £221,000* after competitive international bidding.
