Auction Details
Nearly 300 lots of fine quality Asian Antiques will be sold Sunday, Feb. 13th starting at 5PM Eastern Time. A full range of items from several donors will make this a well-rounded sale from all across Central and Eastern Asia - with a focus on China. We feature authentic cultural relics (some quite unusual that have not been the subject of modern fakers) that generally cannot be found on eBay or most websites. There are no hidden reserves, we don't start at ridiculous low levels, & all items guaranteed as represented. Bid generously as all proceed go to charity.
Online Auction only, with advance bids accepted at iCollector and at the Gallery. No live bidding
in the Gallery, and tie bids go to the earliest bidder. All proceeds will go 100% to the World Peace Foundation Building Fund of Hadley, MA.
