‘Having previously participated in the Hong Kong fair, Christian Deydier, an expert in Chinese archaic bronzes and the former president of the Syndicat National des Antiquaires and of the Biennale des Antiquaires, has convinced several new European galleries to join him at this year’s fair. Instead of taking full booths, several dealers including Oscar Graf and Galerie Pascal Lansberg, which both specialize in decorative arts, and Galerie Mermoz, a specialist of pre-Columbian art, are joining forces to present a selection of objects from their galleries in the Les Pavillons section.
Visitors from mainland China represent about 60 percent of attendees, says fair director Ronald Chak, adding they are showing an increasing interest in broadening their collecting horizons. Even for Chinese antiques, collectors’ tastes have been evolving in recent years, Chak adds, pointing out more are moving from Ming and Qing Dynasties toward the older Song Dynasty.’
