Important Estate Asian Art Collection Auction
This is our first auction at our new modern facility, and features over 200
lots of Chinese Art including paintings, jade carvings, porcelain,
furniture, jewelry, and Buddhist sculptures. Of note are two important
Chinese collections from Toronto estates.
The first estate (lots 68-84) features a group of Chinese porcelain from
Sear Hang Hwie Pao (1937-2009). Mr. Pao was one of Canada's leading dealers
of Chinese porcelain and works of art. His antique store, Pao & Moltke
Ltd., was a fixture in Toronto's trendy Yorkville area for over thirty
years.
The second notable estate collection comes from a former minister with the
Canadian government during the 1980's (lot 98-137). In all, his Asian Art
collection contains over 150 mostly Chinese objects he collected from the
1960's to the 2000's. Many of these pieces were acquired locally in Toronto
from dealers such as Weisbrod and Dy, the Hundred Antiques, Pao and Moltke,
and C. C. Lai Antiques.
Also of note is lot 138, a Chinese copper-red dragon vase with a Kangxi
mark and of the period (1662-1722). This rare vase was acquired in Hong
Kong by an important local Toronto collector.
This auction also features various paintings from important Canadian
collections. The most important piece is lot 194, a depiction of a
waterfall by Chinese modernist master Li Keran (1907-1989).
