Lot 418 is a rare Chinese gilded bronze dragon-head finial, hengshou, from the collection of Mark Dineley (1901-75), and thence by descent.

The sale features many other high-quality works of art including ceramics, bronzes, jades, paintings, and others. Highlights of the sales will be displayed at our Mayfair office in early May. Please contact the department for more information.
