Description
A total of five Chinese archaic ritual bronzes from the Daniel Shapiro collection went under the hammer earlier today, with the Luboshez Gong being the star lot of the day and realized US$8.6m with fees. The same buyer went on a little shopping spree and took home a total of three lots.
The sale raked in US$10,139,000 after premium, almost doubled its presale low estimate total of US$5,080,000, with the sell-through rate being 80% by lot.
