Sotheby’s is pleased to announce the sale of David David-Weill’s exceptional collection of archaic Chinese jades and bronzes, comprising one of the most significant groupings of early Chinese art to come to market in recent years. |
The ensemble, which includes objects dating from the Neolithic to the early dynastic periods of Chinese history, is representative of the vast collection of Chinese art formed by David-Weill (1871-1952) in the first half of the 20th century. |
Gathering approximately 60 works of museum quality and with a highly distinguished provenance – for example a rare, large archaic bronze ritual food vessel dating to the late Shang dynasty (left) – the sale offers a glimpse into the rich visual and functional vocabulary of early Chinese art. |
