Meticulously assembled over decades with the utmost discretion, Centuries of Taste | Legacy of a Private Collection reflects the breadth of an expansive yet refined vision.

The Old Master paintings in the collection were gathered with an acute eye, which sought works of the highest quality and images with immediate appeal and visual impact.

From the timeless elegance of Classical Chinese furniture and the striking glazes of Imperial porcelain to the sweeping brushstrokes of modern ink painting, the Chinese works of art reflect a wide array of objects and materials.
