The highlights of the Chinese section are a selection of bronze scholars’ objects from the collection of Ulrich Hausmann and a group of rare Qingbai figures from the Williams collection.As of 28 June 2025, lots in this auction that are of non-EU origin, of a certain age and, in some categories, above a certain value may be subject to additional requirements for import into the European Union. Bidders are advised to make their own enquiries and obtain independent advice to determine whether these additional requirements apply to a given lot before bidding. It is the Buyer's responsibility to apply for any required export or import licence or permit, and/or submit an importer statement, where required.
