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 pendant "dog", Qing dynasty, 18th century
Pendant made of Hetian white jade and delicately carved in one piece. Tied to a decorative cord with a bead. The color of the jade is a lustrous white color enhanced with small inclusions.
The body has been depicted in lying form, with the legs extended under the body, ears close to the body, bulging eyes, pronounced ribs, a prominent spine and the tail curved towards the right hind leg. The head has an elongated shape, with a well-defined slender muzzle, closed mouth and open nostrils.
In the Tang dynasty, pieces of jade carved in the shape of a resting dog can already be found, but from the Song dynasty to the Qing dynasty, delicately carved jade animals in naturalistic poses were popular. The carvings were put to a variety of uses: paperweight, pendant or 'toy' for erudite people.
Provenance: Important collection of Tommy Lam, Hong Kong, since 1980.
