Bidders Set to be Bowled Over at Charterhouse

A Chinese jade bowl, found in the cabinet of a West Country cottage, is expected to sell for thousands at the Charterhouse specialist Asian Art auction on Friday 1st November.

“The Asian Art market continues to produce plenty of online bidders from across Europe, America and China resulting in high prices.” Commented Richard Bromell.

The Chinese jade bowl on stand at Charterhouse expected to sell for £1,000s

The Chinese jade bowl was discovered when Charterhouse carried out a probate valuation in the cottage. The family, who live abroad, asked the auctioneers to remove items of value for safekeeping as the property was empty, pending their sale.

Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for this auction of Asian art on 1st November, and for their specialist auctions of silver on Wednesday 30th with watches and jewellery on Thursday 31st October.
