SPECIAL SESSION
IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF HONG KONG TOMMY LAM - ASIAN ART
1 - 100
Mr. Tommy Lam's collection is one of the most important private collections of Asian art, highlighting his unique and top quality jade pieces. For the first time, after a long career as a collector, he presents an exclusive sample of his large collection.
Mr. Tommy Lam is a successful businessman, gemologist and philanthropist specializing in jewelry and a member of the Hong Kong Jade Chamber of Commerce (香港玉器商會). His appreciation for Chinese culture has prompted him to participate since the 1980s continuously in charitable activities, highlighting donations in education with the development of schools and teaching materials. Likewise, his restless mind has led him to achieve multiple achievements and trophies in various hobbies, including sport fishing, traditional garden design, golf and as a sports racing driver.
Another of his interests is the history of China, which is why he took up collecting Chinese art in the 1980s, leading him to obtain various items of Chinese culture ranging from the Neolithic period to the end of the Qing dynasty. Over the course of these 40 years he has studied and inspired more people to share this interest as a national pride.

White jade archer's ring, Qing dynasty, 19th Century
Hetian carved white jade archer's ring (板指). The shape is smooth, without decoration. It is in very good condition, with wear.
This type of ring is placed on the pulling finger which is the thumb of the right hand to hook the string when practicing archery. Over time they have become more decorative than functional. During the Qing dynasty they became very popular, especially during the Qianlong reign, because the emperors enjoyed making the fingers ring. Following their wishes, princes, ministers and even local officials donated rings to the court. Other jade jewellery for men included pendants and belts.
Provenance: Important collection of Tommy Lam, Hong Kong, from 1980.
