Terms of sale
The collection of a travelling diplomat This sale is devoted to Asian art, with almost all the lots coming from the collection of a diplomat who, over the course of his assignments, built up a rich and sensitive collection reflecting a genuine cultural curiosity. Without seeking rarity, this collection stands out for the quality and sincerity of its approach to Asian art: objects chosen by taste, emotion or memory, brought together with care through travel and encounters. The collection offers an evocative panorama of Asia: Buddha sculptures (nearly eighty works from Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal and Tibet), thangkas and religious paintings, ritual and everyday objects, as well as a fine collection of traditional furniture such as apothecary cabinets and manuscript cabinets. Coming from Burma, India, Thailand, China, Japan, Cambodia, Tibet, Nepal and South-East Asia, these pieces tell a story of passion, discovery and attachment to a continent where spirituality and the art of living are one and the same. A sale imbued with the poetry of its collector. SEQUANA would like to extend its warmest thanks to Ansas Papillon de Lery for its support and advice in the preparation of this catalogue.
