JOANIES IMPORTANT CHINESE ART ESTATE sale

Hello, thank you for having a look at my sales. After an extended summer break due to some knee surgery Joanie is back in action with an incredible estate sale! Although I was a little down and out over the summer I still managed to acquire some incredible and important treasures for my first sale of the fall season.

I am very excited to be offering what I believe may be my finest and most important sale to date. This sale offers a wide variety of great examples from across many categories of collecting. The items include some exceptionally rare and important examples including some imperial wares, and items dating from the Song dynasty to the earlier Republic period. This sale features items from three important estate collections including the late Chinese ceramics expert Michael Vermeer’s collection, Mr. H.H Pao of Toronto who owned a high-end shop in the famous four seasons hotel in Toronto for many years and whom was considered one of North America’s top experts and scholars in many categories of antique Chinese art. Also some of the smaller scholarly items including the jade examples are from the estate of A Abraham. Mr. Abraham owned the “Imperial Jade Shop” situated in the famous King Edward hotel until the year 1976 (40 years ago) when the hotel was renovated and the shop never re-opened. These items have been in storage since the shop closed down and have not seen the light of day until now! Abraham was a highly respected jade dealer, appraiser, and collector in the 1950-70’s period. Abraham frequently travelled to China, Hong Kong, New York, and London on buying trips during the time. I do not know a great deal about many of the objects myself. Being out of this known expert’s estate I believe there is a good chance there are some important and rarely found examples being offered.

As my sales have run for over 12 years selling online All the items will be sold to the highest buyer with Absolutely s. I ask that you only offer on the items if you are serious about purchasing them. If you have any questions in regards to the items or payment please do not hesitate to email me.

I do wish everyone the very best of luck winning the sales!

Up for sale is a very fine and rare large Chinese Ming dynasty gold gilt lacquered Buddha figure. This Buddha figure is a beautiful and impressive size example that I am told would date to the later Ming dynasty period. The Buddha is intricately detailed throughout with particularly fine features to the face and hands. This Buddha is displayed in a nice and calming meditative pose. The Buddha has much of its original gold gilt lacquer still intact. The Buddha is fresh from a Montreal estate collection and has been in this family’s collection since the earlier 1900s period, being a fresh to market example. I believe this Buddha figure would have taken an astonishing amount of lacquered layers to make, and you can see the early silk thread used to hold the lacquer together at the base. This Buddha figure is a particular lightweight example and I believe by the light weight is hollowed throughout the interior. This was likely done so offerings and or Buddhist treasures could be placed inside the Buddha when made. I cannot feel or hear anything inside the Buddha moving, but the base seems to be intact so there may or may not be treasures still inside. As you can see the Buddha has several imperfections and small losses throughout, as I am sure would be found on any legitimate example of this very early age. As you can see for its age this Buddha figure is in substantially good and intact original condition. I have also closely inspected this Buddha figure under UV black light that reveals absolutely no restoration or alterations have been made.

This Buddha is an impressive large size measuring 21 inches tall, by 12 3/4 inches long, and 11 3/4 wide. I am told being of this larger size this Buddha was likely made for temple use. I really have no idea what this Buddha would presently be worth. I am told examples like this are becoming exceedingly hard to find, and that comparable examples have recently sold at higher-end sales for some impressive amounts. The interest in Buddhist culture seems to be steadily increasing in interest and popularity, particular in the last couple decades. This would indicate finding such examples will not only exceedingly difficult, but that such examples will also steadily increase in value. This Buddha is an astonishing and important relic of early Buddhist religion, and is an amazing positive energy piece to be in the presence of.

This is an exact size example just offered last week at Sotheby’s. I actually handled this figure they offered and the condition was extremely bad with many large losses compared to the one I am offering here. In comparison, this example I am offering would likely achieve far in excess of the badly damaged one they just sold. I think someone is about to get an amazing deal with this great piece!!
