So sorry to tell you this but Michael Bauer, who has been in business selling Asian antiques for the last 40 years has lost the lease to his warehouse. He needs to liquidate everything in his warehouse by the end of October as the land has sold. All items in the warehouse will be sold and will need to be taken out by the end of October. Great items for your bidding pleasure are being offered in our catalog.

We have had fun doing this one as there are many items that have been uncovered having spent at least three decades in the warehouse. Now, just so you know… there are no facilities in the building (so use your own bathroom before attending the previews), there is limited lighting and it is crowded as you will be able to tell by the photographs which are NOT our best but hopefully sufficient for you to see the beauty in each piece. Sometimes tables will be displayed on top of each other and that is why it is important that you attend the previews and take a look for yourself.

Fine things abound in the auction that features two antique Chinese beds — one being a wedding bed with an alcove that gives the newlyweds extra space to frolic. (Remember those times?) There is a multitude of jars, vases, and urns… so many that we have put multiple pieces in one lot! A lot of blue and white, celadon, and white glazed pieces offered some being antique and some being newer. Or at least they were newer 40 years ago. This is a decorators, homeowners and dealers dream to come across this quantity of great items. Did I mention that we have stone paving tiles from the Imperial Palace in the Forbidden City? Or millstones? Or antique elm doors? Or antique altar tables? Or beautifully carved architectural elements? You will need to peruse the catalog and bid accordingly.
