No import fees, no customs, delivered quickly to your door!

Recent Acquisitions 2008 presents 62 carefully selected works of art from Marchant's inventory at the time. The catalogue covers various fields of Chinese art and includes jade, cloisonné and painting alongside porcelain.

An important part of the catalogue is devoted to Chinese porcelain, including pieces from the Kangxi period and other important periods of the Qing dynasty. In addition, refined objects in jade and cloisonné are discussed and the catalogue contains a selection of historical paintings. The variety of materials and techniques makes this publication broader in scope than a catalogue devoted exclusively to ceramics.

The 62 objects have been extensively photographed in colour and accompanied by English-language catalogue entries. The descriptions cover, amongst other things, material, shape, decoration, dating and stylistic characteristics. Where relevant, comparable objects from museum collections and specialist literature are mentioned, making the catalogue also exceptionally suitable for use as a comparative and reference work.

Founded in London in 1925, S. Marchant & Son specialises in Chinese porcelain and works of art. The firm's regularly published catalogues document important pieces handled by the gallery and together form an interesting reference series for collectors and researchers of Chinese and Asian art.
