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 "Longevity" figure, Qing dynasty, Qianlong

A Hetian white jade figure, with reddish-golden flecks, carved in one piece. This type of white jade has a natural colour. The outside skin tone is due to the concentration of iron oxide and is distributed in dots or flakes in the surface pores.

It shows two figures together: a deer and a crane holding a branch of 'ruyi'. The white colouring of the jade with golden tones from the bark and the details of the depiction are remarkable. It is in very good condition.

The idiom "鹿鶴延年" (crane and deer pattern in spring) is one of the ten most important traditional Chinese auspicious patterns in traditional culture. The meaning is related to good luck, fortune and especially longevity. 

Provenance: Important collection of Tommy Lam, Hong Kong, since 1980.
