Going, Going,


missed it!


it being an important Imperial green jade 'San Xi Tang' double-gourd seal, from the Qianlong period - from 1736 to 1795,

originally estimated to be worth between £1 million and £1.5 million at the Bonhams sale in London, the 8.7cm (3 7/16in) long seal went for £3.4 million, there are no details of the owner except in the Bohams statement, 'the property of a gentleman', quiet a wealthy one now I guess!
