Ancient Chinese Pottery Comes to Beverly Hills

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 7, 2009 -- BEVERLY HILLS, CA. In light of Fall ’09’s soft results at Christie’s and Bonham’s in London, collectors of fine Asian Arts should re-direct their attention to Beverly Hills, California where I.M. Chait is poised to offer more than 400 lots of exceptional Chinese and Japanese art on November 15. The collections are directed at both mid-level collectors and high-level connoisseurs seeking good and realistically priced investments.
I.M. Chait’s sale leads with an extensive collection of Han and Tang Dynasty ritual pottery figures, now on view at www.chait.com.

The exhibit of the First Emperor’s ritual figures that criss-crossed America this past year re-ignited interest in this increasingly popular collecting category. Like the Ancient Emperor’s figures, the I.M. Chait offerings represent the full range of human endeavor and emotion as manifested in horses, camels, figures and more.
As usual, I.M. Chait’s November 15 Asian and International Fine Art auction includes an extensive collection of carved jades, Sino-Tibetan deities, Western jewelry and European paintings, all of which can be seen at www.chait.com.
For a full color catalog, please call 1-800-755-5020. I.M. Chait is located at 9330 Civic Center Drive, CA. The November 15 AIFA begins at 1pm PST. It will be carried live and on www.artfact.com.
