Recent Acquisitions 2009 presents 66 carefully selected works of art from Marchant's collection at the time. Focusing primarily on Chinese art from the Ming and Qing dynasties, the catalogue features porcelain as well as various objects in jade and other materials.

An important part of the catalogue is dedicated to Chinese porcelain from the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods. The included pieces comprise richly decorated Kangxi vases with qilins, refined Yongzheng porcelain and famille rose wall vases, among others. The various objects illustrate the great variety of forms, decorations, glazes and techniques within Chinese ceramics.

All 66 objects have been extensively photographed in colour and accompanied by English-language catalogue texts. The descriptions cover, amongst other things, material, form, decoration, dating and stylistic characteristics. Where relevant, comparable objects from museum collections, previous collections and specialist literature are mentioned. As a result, the catalogue is not only a documentation of Marchant's inventory at the time, but also particularly useful as a comparative work and work of reference.

S. Marchant & Son was founded in London in 1925 and specialises in Chinese porcelain and works of art. The annually published Recent Acquisitions-catalogues document a large number of important objects traded by the gallery and together form an interesting reference series for collectors and researchers of Chinese and Asian art.
