SPECIAL SESSION

IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF HONG KONG TOMMY LAM - ASIAN ART

1 - 100


Mr. Tommy Lam's collection is one of the most important private collections of Asian art, highlighting his unique and top quality jade pieces. For the first time, after a long career as a collector, he presents an exclusive sample of his large collection.


Mr. Tommy Lam is a successful businessman, gemologist and philanthropist specializing in jewelry and a member of the Hong Kong Jade Chamber of Commerce (香港玉器商會). His appreciation for Chinese culture has prompted him to participate since the 1980s continuously in charitable activities, highlighting donations in education with the development of schools and teaching materials. Likewise, his restless mind has led him to achieve multiple achievements and trophies in various hobbies, including sport fishing, traditional garden design, golf and as a sports racing driver.


Another of his interests is the history of China, which is why he took up collecting Chinese art in the 1980s, leading him to obtain various items of Chinese culture ranging from the Neolithic period to the end of the Qing dynasty. Over the course of these 40 years he has studied and inspired more people to share this interest as a national pride.

White jade archer's ring, Ming Dynasty

A white Hetian jade archer's ring (板指) with the outside decorated with gold-toned reliefs and veins. It shows a continuous scene with sages, musicians, lotuses, pine trees and mountains. The shape of the ring has a narrower centre and a rounded upper edge. It is in very good condition and shows patina from age.

The elements depicted are related to good luck, gods and happiness. In addition, the pine (松樹) is a type of tree that is often depicted in the arts because of its significance of longevity and strength. It is a tree that can thrive in wild places and lives for many years, just like the lotus.

Provenance: Important collection of Tommy Lam, Hong Kong, since 1980.

Size: 3 x 3.5 cm; Weight: 46 g
