Auction information
On April 8, Poly Hong Kong 2024 Spring Auction, a number of pieces from the Qing Dynasty Imperial Kiln Collection of Wangxing Lou failed to meet the expected auction prices, and only received a total turnover of 37.02 million Hong Kong dollars. The most interesting thing is the pink and blue glaze engraved antique Kui dragon pattern Dazun in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which was only sold for 24 million Hong Kong dollars, far below market expectations. In addition, three lots were not successfully sold, which is undoubtedly surprising and regrettable.
The owner of Wangxing Tower, a well-known collector and antique dealer in Hong Kong, has a unique eye and extraordinary taste. In the early 90s, when the mainstream of the market was still Song porcelain, monochrome glaze, and early Ming blue and white porcelain, he had a unique vision and began to vigorously collect Qing Dynasty imperial porcelain, especially the porcelain of the three generations of Kang Yongqian. He adheres to the principle of "true, refined, and rare" collection, and often conducts in-depth exchanges and consultations with senior experts such as Lan Lijie, Zhu Tangsheng, Ma Qiante, etc.
However, it is a surprising pity that the results of this auction do not reflect the value of his collection. The following is a list of the latest transactions compiled for your reference. #拍卖#
