Asian Arts

PROVENANCE:

Property formerly in the collection of Harry J. Haon II (1901-1989), thence by descent

Haon was employed by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, and was promoted in 1954 to the Foreign Relations Department as Manager of the European Office, London, England, until his retirement in 1962. Mr. Haon continued to live part-time in London into the late 1970s. It is believed that many of the Asian arts in his collection were acquired during this time in London.

NOTE:

A pair of chairs from this set was sold in these rooms October 14, 2021, lot 96; see R. Soame Jenyns and William Watson, "Chinese Art, The Minor Arts", Fribourg, 1963, pp. 390-391, no. 182, for an illustration of one of the chairs from lot 96.

Harry J. Haon II (1901-1989)舊藏，家族後人傳承。

註：

Haon曾任職於杜邦公司，並於1954年出任公司英國倫敦歐洲外交部的部長，直至1962年退休，Haon先生繼而流寓於倫敦至1970年代晚。可以想見的是，在倫敦生活時期亦為其購藏亞洲藝術品珍玩之時機。另一對於2021年10月14日，編號96；見書R. Soame Jenyns and William Watson, "Chinese Art, The Minor Arts", Fribourg, 1963, 頁. 390-391, no. 182, （編號96中的一對）
