Sweden has a long history of trade relations with China, and has traditionally been home to an impressive collection of Oriental artefacts. Today, the most sought-after items are porcelain vases and bowls, censers, snuff bottles and pendants and bronzes with religious themes.
Auctionet’s catalogue of sold items includes a mandarin hat from 19th-century Vietnam, a Sino-Tibetan Buddha figure in gilt bronze originally from the estate of Finnish statesman Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim and a yellow dish from China bearing the Yongzheng seal mark from B. Tarras-Wahlberg’s collection.
