Pursuing Perfection, the Perino Collection
Lots: 67
We are thrilled to offer a selection of pieces from a distinguished Italian private collection of East Asian art.
Dr Claudio Perino begun collecting in the early 2000s. His interest in Japanese lacquer soon transitioned into woodblock prints and ceramics, eventually focusing on paintings from the Edo and Meiji periods.
Always eager to share the joy of experiencing his treasures, Dr Perino exhibited his lacquer, prints and paintings at the MAO - Museum of Oriental Art in Turin between 2008 - 2023. The twenty-four paintings featured in the current sale were a part of a large exhibition curated by Prof Matthi Forrer at the Museo delle Culture in Lugano and later the Torinian MAO between 2020 - 2022.
Among the sixty-seven lots presented here, there are a few pieces of Korean ceramics. Chinese art is represented among others by a porcelain plaque by Wang Qi, an early Qingbai ewer and two important Qing Dynasty embroidered silk robes.
Lots 38 and 40 will be a subject to a deposit payable at least 24hours before the auction day.
All lots are sold under Temporary Admission. Additional 5% is added on the hammer price, standard 20% VAT applies to our Buyer's Premium of 23%.
For any questions relating to the sale, please contact the Head of the Japanese Department, Marta Somauroo at marta@azcaauctions.com.

The Christmas Collection, an Online Time Auction
Ends: 7th Jan, 2025 12:00
Lots: 475
The first Online Only sale of Azca Auctions has landed.
We will accompany you through the Christmas holidays with some extravagant, quirky, and sparkly lots. The auction is entirely online, and bidding begins on the 11th December and closes on the 7th January 2025.
Collections are taking place from 188 R Hammersmith road, W6 7DJ once the sale closes.
How to Bid
Once bidding opens, set your maximum bid for each item you’re interested in, and the system will automatically place incremental bids on your behalf, up to your set limit.
If a bid is received within the last 3 minutes of a lot's scheduled closing time, the lot will extend for an additional 3 minutes. This extension will continue with each subsequent bid until no further bids are placed, at which point the lot will close and the highest bidder will be declared.
Please note that all lots will close according to their scheduled times, regardless of extensions. For example, lot two will begin and close as scheduled even if lot one is still in an extended bidding period.
This concurrent format maximises bidding opportunities during peak windows, helping to achieve the best possible hammer price for our vendors. Make sure to place your bids in good time!
Have a merry bidding!
