THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION
A retiring Finnish principal scientist wanted to sell a major part of his Chinese antique Items collection, and we have the honor to auction some of these Items in our monthly auctions. Some of the collection has already been sold at the Mays and Junes auctions, but some are still unsold and will be auctioned in September (13-14.9) at HELANDER.
This private collection has been generated over a period of almost 30 years. The collection comprises of Items suitable for a novice as well as a more advanced collector- reflecting a typical process for a collector yearning for more valuable and rare Items when the knowledge accumulates.
Item 198: Painted pottery horse and rider, Han dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD). Height 42 cm, length 40 cm No visible signs of restoration. However, a vast majority of these delicate items have sustained some restoration often invisible to the eye. Small crack on a hoof.
