HARRISBURG, PENN. — In a fine and decorative arts auction to be conducted on Thursday, September 7, Cordier Auctions will offer a large collection of Qing dynasty jade seldom seen at auction. This collection of jade belonged to George Henne (1866-1938) and was inherited by his family. Henne used the jade to decorate his handmade Chinese silk valuables storage boxes, frames and other collectibles. Jade and related Chinese antiques were imported by George Henne, Sole Proprietor, 311 East 23rd Street, New York City, from approximately 1900 to 1935.

The jade includes belt hooks, pendants and hair decorations. The jade was imported from China to New York at the beginning of the Twentieth Century but was crafted in China during the 1800s and earlier. The Qing dynasty, a Manchu-led dynasty and the last imperial dynasty in China, covers the period from 1636 to 1912. Every piece is intricately carved and ornately designed. Designs include dragons (heads and full body), fu bats, gourds, lingzhi mushrooms, praying mantis, fruit, flowers, Buddha, Confucius and others. One example of the intricate carving and design is a gilt-bronze and celadon jade belt buckle with a carved design depicting a dragon with flowers ($3/5,000).

The auction will also include fine art, furnishings, sterling, jewelry and collectibles. Additional highlights include John White Alexander’s (American, 1865-1916) “An Idle Moment” ($60/80,000); 129-piece Reed & Barton Marlborough sterling flatware service ($1,8/2,000); Evgeni Alexandrovich Lanceray (Russian, 1848-1886) “Two Cossacks in the Steppe” bronze sculpture ($8/14,000); 1999 Rolex Submariner Date Model 16610 with original papers ($5/7,000); and a 14K gold 1.7-carat diamond solitaire ring ($5/7,000).
