—Accepting Post Auction Offers
After a successful live auction, we are accepting post auction offers on those lots that didn't quite make reserve, including some prestigious examples of craft, materiality, pedigree and provenance from the continent.
Our department specialists are under instructions to take—on a first come-first-served basis—any realistic offer to our vendors, and negotiate on your behalf. This is an unbeatable opportunity to walk away with items that might not come back to the market, due to their importance and rarity, and which best exemplify the top craftsmanship and beauty from some of the most enduring maker traditions in the world.
Take a look through the catalogue and make a post auction offer now.
From spirited horse imagery expressing movement and ambition, to objects adorned with blessings of fortune, longevity, and happiness, the auction offers a striking cross-section of late Qing to 20th-century Chinese art. Delicate porcelain, luminous lacquerware, symbolic wooden objects, and refined scholar furnishings reflect the beauty of traditional domestic life.
Whether you are seeking a meaningful collector’s piece or a work imbued with auspicious intent, now is the moment to bid.

Asian Art Department
Webb’s Asian Art department specialises in bringing exquisite Asian art and artefacts to market. Through auctions and private sales, we deal in high-quality Asian carvings, ceramics, jade pieces, bronzes, and other items.
Our specialist sales present a remarkable opportunity to obtain works that in many cases have not been available for 80-100 years. With centuries of history, and our specialists’ formidable expertise behind them, we are proud to offer investment pieces for discerning collectors to enjoy.
Recent auction highlights include the sale of a Chinese 18th Century jade 'melon' carving which sold for $119,500, and a Japanese 15-16th Century Mandala of Diamond World which achieved twice its estimate at $40,630. We also regularly see exceptional results for early 19th century Chinese textiles, lacquerware, and Nanmu furniture.
With a wealth of knowledge and an unwavering passion, we are dedicated to achieving the best results at auction. With a client base both within New Zealand and internationally, our specialist sales regularly see some of the highest catalogue views in the country for Asian art.
