Format: Softcover, 199 pages (approx.)

This auction catalogue documents one of Christie’s Swire’s important 1990s Hong Kong sales of Asian art. Inside, it includes:
• High-resolution color photographs and detailed descriptions of each lot
• Sections on Chinese jade and jadeite carvings, ceramics, and China Trade paintings (popular among maritime and export art collectors)
• Provenance notes, estimated values, and cultural context for each artifact
• Scholarly-quality documentation — many such catalogues serve as permanent reference sources for Asian art specialists

Christie’s Swire catalogues from this era are prized because they capture a key moment when Hong Kong was the global center for Chinese art auctions leading up to the 1997 handover.
