With the events of Asia week, they are simply sent in the USA. There are still some more important Asian themed art auctions that come in the block. Freeman's in Philadelphia will offer its important Sale of Asian arts on April 8. Here Chinese dragon vase will be at auction. Historically, Freeman Asian Art Auctions have hundreds of lots of artworks from China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas and India region. This time, they chose to have a much smaller sale that consists of only 138 lots, thus emphasizing the quality about the amount. Its approach is specifically in Chinese porcelain categories and ceramics, furniture, paintings and textiles.
In the Chinese painting category of the Freeman auction is Lot 84, a representation of auspicious grapes attributed to the Dowager Cixi Empress (1839-1908). The story of it can fill out numerous history books and has generated dozens of television dramas. The character of the dowager business can be known and sympathetic. This painting is dated 1901 of the Guangxu period. Emperor Guangxu was the Nephew of the Dowager Empress, and they died a day apart in 1908 in very murky circumstances. The painting was a gift from Empress Dowager to Mr. and Mrs. Edwin. H. Conger, and later passed through the family.
