Provenance:
Lot 19 ~ Lot 73 are all from a Hong Kong-born senior collector Mr. Wong. In the late forties, Wang's father worked for the Guangzhou National Government at the electric company as executives. At that time, he had already collected Chinese jades for two decades. His collections estimated to be more than one hundred pieces of quality jades. Due to the war, Wang's father resigned from his job in Guangzhou in 1948, fled to Hong Kong and became an established entrepreneur. During 1960s and 1970s, he gave away nearly half of his fine jade collection to his closest friends, family and children. The rest of the jade treasures, Wang brought them along with him and immigrated to Canada in 1990.
