Description
It is an honour to present these 5 pieces from the Limited Edition castings of the ancient Imperial bronzes. This is part 2 of the sale for the retired industrialist. The Chinese Government does not allow anyone to see the original Imperial Bronzes. They are secured away to ensure their safety as they belonged to the Imperial Collection of the Qing dynasty and were in the private collection of the last Emperor of China. They casted 50 sets of bronzes to be displayed in the stead of the originals. These bronzes were cast by the original "lost wax" process and are of the same bronze components as those from ancient china. These bronzes have the same metallurgical composition as the originals. Everything - the patina, colours and flaws are all exactly the same as the master bronzes. Each set was cast with 32 chosen bronzes. The rest of the sets are displayed at museums worldwide and in private collections. This is your rare opportunity to own one of these fantastic pieces which do not come up for auction often. All of these pieces are from the 7th casting of 50.and were displayed in museums across Canada in 1987 and 1988 before being offered for auction
