Provenance: From Mr. Chang, a Chinese-American antiques dealer with 60 years of experience in the field. Mr. Chang began his journey into the world of antiques under the guidance of his mentors in the early 1960s. During this period, Mr. Chang acquired the necessary skills to identify, appreciate, and manage antiques, while gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. Over the years, Mr. Chang has traveled across the United States, searching for unique and precious antique collections. As a multicultural country, the United States has a market for antiques and artworks from around the world. This unique confluence of opportunities, his renowned appreciation for art, and his reputation allowed Mr. Chang to gradually establish his own network of antique collectors throughout the U.S. Behind each antique lies a unique story of the past, and Mr. Chang enjoys experiencing the weight of history and the charm of culture through these objects. As a veteran in the antique industry, Mr. Chang also hopes to pass on these precious cultural relics to the next generation, allowing more people to understand and appreciate valuable cultural heritages. Lot 334 to 348 and Lot 497 are from the same collector.
