The Reginald and Lena Palmer Collection (1924-1970) has legendary status, being one of the finest groups of Chinese porcelain amassed in the 20th century. The breadth of their interests was wide including, blue and white porcelain, 17th and 18th century Export wares and fine Imperial pieces. The small part offered in our auction on 5 June reflects the enthusiasm and appreciation of Chinese art by these knowledgeable collectors.

Many of the items haven been widely exhibited and published, ranging from the historic 1948 Chinese Jades exhibition organised by the Oriental Ceramics Society in London, and other noteworthy exhibitions such as Chinese Painted Enamels at the Ashmolean Museum in 1978. Reginald Howard Reed Palmer bought from most of the principal dealers in London in prodigious quantities, including, John Sparks, Bluett & Sons, H.R.N. Norton, Spink & Son, Mallett and others and most purchases have been meticulously documented in various family ledgers.

This sale comprises 89 lots selected from this remarkable collection, including examples of Qing painted enamels, blue and white porcelain, archaic and archaistic jade carvings, bronzes, classic Kangxi Famille Verte porcelain and cinnabar lacquer.
