JAPANESE

The fine Japanese part of this impressive collection consists of:

57 Netsukes, 62 Inro and lacquer works of art, 3 Ivory carvings.

Detailed descriptions and reference notes by

Neil K. Davey

(Senior director of the Japanese Department of Sotheby's London, now with Bonhams)

 

"There are fine examples from Kyoto, Osaka, Edo, Nagoya, Gifu and Hakata, as well as unsigned and unattributable pieces from the early 18th to the late 19th century.  .  .  . By some standards the collection is not large.   However, it does not need to be, there is much to be said for quality, rather than quantity and the present collection has the former in abundance."

Neil K. Davey

 

 

CHINESE

The Chinese part of 'The Cohen Collection' consists of:
82 Snuff bottles, 74 Pendants, 25 Jade & hardstone carvings.

Detailed descriptions and reference notes by

Robert Hall

 

"It is a tribute to the Cohen's artistic awareness that they have been able to assemble so many works of art in these two areas, while maintaining the common bonds of excellent workmanship, charming subject matter and, above all, that elusive bit of 'magic' (for want of a better word) that turns an inanimate object into something special and important."

Robert Hall


Also with contributions by Richard Marchant, Clare Lawrence (Clare Chu) and Roger Kerverne. 

Includes Silhouette Picture Snuff Bottles, Cameo Carved, Inside Painted, Imperial Yellow, Overlay Glass and Well Hollowed.  Jade Mutton Fat, Celadon, Russet Skin, Imperial and Suzhou.
