Antiquities-Saleroom proudly presents "Asian Art through the Ages," a superb 1-day auction of Asian Art stretching from 2500 BCE to the beginning of the 21st century. Sale features two lifelong snuff bottle and netsuke collections from well-known collectors in San Francisco, CA and Scottsdale, AZ. Over 100 snuff bottles are offered, including many published examples, bottles signed from noted artists and some very unique and beautiful examples created from exotic stones. Also included are important and extremely detailed ivory and ox-bone netsuke from world-class artisans. The snuff bottles and netsukes in this sale represent a unique opportunity to acquire some of the finest examples to hit the market in years!
