Important Private Collections From Germany
This auction is offering important private collectors from Germany and others workart of Asian and important painting as well. here we introduce the collectors Germany High-quality Chinese antiques from the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties and the Republic period are up for auction, including porcelain exhibits from the imperial manufactories from an extensive German private collection with excellent provenance. The Chinese art expert from Germany, who in the past has realized major cultural projects together with the state of China, has acquired these pieces over decades from important collections of former foreign citizens who worked for the empire in the 19th century and even later. Among them the probably most well-known representative from Germany Gustav Detring. For his humane and successful work, Empress Dowager Cixi awarded him the highest medal that existed for foreign citizens in the Chinese Empire. At the same time, Detring was personal advisor to the imperial family, but never saw his homeland again, since he died in China in 1913. His entire family left China in 1919 and returned to Germany. Later, due to the turmoil of the late 1920s, most family members emigrated to America. There are 15 exhibits in the auction. These included gifts from the imperial family, including an imperial seal. These pieces ended up in the German collection from the estate of a well-known American collector. The first pieces from Gustav Detring's collection to appear on the international art market were sold at high prices by Sotheby's in New York and London in 2018. Some exhibits achieved surcharges in the triple million euro range.Bidder Reviews for The Popular Auction (37)

Everything seems to be ok but the 3 % or 1.5 % fee for credit card charged is not a very pleasure at all compare to the other Auction House. I wish this would be avoid for the future bidding because I already paid 27 % for the premium fee.
