Martindale Chinese Art

We are proud to present our winter 2018 

The catalogue was produced in accordance with our Asian Art in London 2018 exhibition held at Stoppenbach And Delestre Gallery in St James's, November 1st - 10th.

​

The exhibition is focused on Chinese carvings and monochrome porcelain, collected from around the world but, more specifically, from a group of items brought to the market from two deeply and culturally rich private collections from America and Europe. The latter collection holds particular significance to me as I remember the beauty of walking into a friend’s traditional home, and as we sat down next to the fireplace, in the darkest snowy months of winter, we were surrounded by an extensive collection of Chinese art. Collected between the 1950s and 1980s, it has remained in the family ever since. I have the absolute pleasure to bring some of my favourite pieces in the collection to this exhibition.
