Leharlequin Auction

Leharlequin Auction is an independent auction house dedicated to Chinese jade, hardstone carvings, and related works of art, with a particular focus on small-scale sculptural objects from the late imperial period through the 20th century. Our offerings include jade snuff bottles, pebble carvings, relief plaques, and fully sculpted figures, selected for their material quality, clarity of carving, and adherence to established decorative and symbolic traditions. Each object is catalogued with a scholarly, museum-oriented approach, emphasizing observable features, iconography, and stylistic context rather than speculative narratives. Leharlequin Auction places strong importance on accurate description, conservative dating, and transparent condition reporting. Estimates are set in line with current international auction results, reflecting realistic market expectations rather than aspirational pricing. All lots are sourced from private collections and the established art market. While many objects were originally intended as personal or decorative works rather than imperial commissions, they represent enduring themes within Chinese material culture, including auspicious symbolism, scholar landscapes, and animal imagery. Leharlequin Auction aims to serve collectors who value careful attribution, measured presentation, and the integrity of the auction process.
