About the Auction
Lots 1-39 of September's Interiors & Collectibles auction feature decorative arts from the collection of Ms Balbina Wong, a pioneer of luxury fashion in China. Having begun her journey with Elizabeth Arden and Estee Lauder, she went on to become a major force in introducing international luxury brands including Ferragamo, Gucci and Prada to the Chinese market, eventually founding ImagineX and helping to shape Asia’s luxury retail landscape. Four outstanding pieces of Buccellati sterling silver are the highlight of the auction, including one large twin-bowl dish surmounted by an octopus. Alongside this is a collection of vintage and antique pocket watches, coins, 1960's Danish teak furniture, plus pieces by Lalique, Herend, Richard Ginori and Baccarat.
