Bonhams & Butterfield Asian Works of Art Bonanza

December 13, 2010 by Marion Maneker

Bonhams had an unexpected bonanza today when its Asian works of art sale in San Francisco was raided much like every other Asian works of art sale that’s taken place around the globe in the last few months.

All of the top ten works sold for huge multiples of their estimates but the biggest shocker was another Qianlong piece of pottery that sold for $7.65m despite a $10-15k estimate range.

The whole sale took in $19m with the top ten works accounting for the majority of that sum.
