An Ode to Japanese Elegance from Bonhams: Discovery Interiors

Bonhams’ online ‘Discovery: Interiors’ offers an exclusive showcase dedicated to September leg, Japanese decorative arts and Asian antiques. A black lacquer waterzuribako, which dates to the Meiji or Taishō era, that is one of the most remarkable parts of the sale; details processed with mastery on the surface are classified into the understanding of the craft of the period.

Blue-white Annam porcelain plate, attributed to 15th or 16th century Vietnam with a six-panel flower patterned paravan. Patek Philippe Calatrava, one of the 1970s in the scene in different auction houses in the same week, a Tiffany Studios Nautilus lamp and Poul Kjaerholm signed PK22 seat reveals what the world of collector is moving from these days.

This selection of Bonhams is lighted in a shade of large-looking auctions, but the craft value is no longer small space. Silently collected, these parts that come to the scene quietly remind the permanent appeal of Asian decorative art in the western auction scene once again.
