Dreweatts invites OCS members to a handling session featuring highlights from their upcoming auctions in May.

Mughal jades are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, characterised by remarkably thin walls, flawlessly polished surfaces, and intricate floral motifs executed with exceptional precision. Examples of Mughal jades were presented to Emperor Qianlong largely as tribute gifts from Muslim rulers and officials based in Xinjiang province. The emperor was so impressed with them that he composed numerous poems in praise of them. Chinese jade craftspeople sought to please the emperor by copying Mughal pieces and creating works with a high degree of transparency and perfect uniformity.

Dreweatts presents the private collection of exquisitely crafted Chinese (Day 1) and Mughal (Day 2) gold and jade objects. With a stunning selection of scholar’s objects, hair ornaments, earrings, daggers and cosmetic boxes, etc., the collection showcases remarkable craftsmanship and fine taste of the collector.
