The Chen Collection

Sale number: 231"The appearance of a collection like this is a real testimony to what can still be done with focus and determination, even in today’s market." - Timothy Schroder, ex curator Gilbert Collection, London and LACMA, Los AngelesThe Chen Collection was the finest and most comprehensive single owner collection of Russian, English and European silver, Viennese enamels and rock crystal, and oriental works of art offered at auction for a generation. Works on silver, gold and enamels by Russian makers, such as Fedor Ruckert, Pavel Ovchinnikov and, of course, Faberge made up the first half of the collection. In the English section, makers such as Paul Storr, Paul de Lamerie, Benjamin &amp; John Smith and Robert Garrard were just some of the star names represented.Assembled over just fifteen years by Mr and Mrs Sinclair Chen, their collection was of the finest quality and of international importance. As such, Lyon &amp; Turnbull arranged a publicity campaign to match, together with a tour of the collection, viewing at the Forbes Collection in New York; at Freeman’s in Philadelphia, and at our saleroom in Edinburgh, before a series of views, events and talks at the Caledonian Club in London where the collection was sold.In the magnificent new wing of the club the collection shone. The sale was timed to coincide with ‘Russian week’ maximising the potential audience and borne out by a packed saleroom and record-breaking prices on the day. In tailoring the viewing locations and the selling venue to the collection, we attracted the right buyers at the right time.&nbsp;
