CHINESE VASE CASUALLY FOUND IN A FRENCH ATTIC ACTUALLY WENT UNDER AUCTION LEAVING OWNERS SPEECHLESS
Could They Solve?
Since the vase seemed to be quite interesting, the French lady decided to do some investigation on the vase. She wanted to know more about its history and where it was from. So Nicolas Chow, who is the Chairman of Chinese works of art at Sotheby’s, still remembers the day the lady came to their auction house and requested their expert inspection on the vase.
“My colleague in Paris one day gets a phone call from a lady, telling him she has this vase that has been sitting in an attic for a couple of decades and she would like to bring it in,” Chow explained, talking about how she approached their office to check her vase. So then, was Sotheby’s able to solve the mystery of the vase? Were they able to get behind this antique piece’s history?
