Phillip Allen (1938-2022)

Phillip Allen was a much-loved orientalist, he was a council member of the Oriental Ceramic Society, scholarly, generous and fun. I last saw Phillip when he organised an OCS viewing of the Sir Victor Sassoon Chinese ivories collection, which he both catalogued and was instrumental in organising their bequest to the British Museum.

We are very fortunate to have been asked by Phillip’s executors to sell his extensive collection of Chinese and Japanese works of art. The sale comprises over 300 lots, and will have a dedicated printed catalogue.

Each lot is subject to Buyer's Premium of 26% + VAT
