My wife Lesley and I are always at the Bath Vintage & Antiques Market on the first and last Sunday in the month. 3. What was your first job? First job was a cabinetmaker, then a firearms dealer, then policeman, now antiques dealer. 4. Best and worst thing about dealing? Best, the thrill of the hunt and the prospect of finding a sleeper. Worst, the current attitude of customers trying to cut you to the bone on prices – thanks to TV antiques shows. 5. Best buy and biggest mistake? Best buy, some very large rock crystal skulls sold to a lady in Munich for lots of euros. Biggest mistake, buying clocks that need repairing. 6. Dream object? A Martin Brothers tobacco jar in mint condition. 7. Guiltiest pleasure? Lying in the spa waters of Bath’s Thermae spring p after a hard day at the market. 8. Any advice for those starting out?

■ Record set for a Berlin sale as one of a pair of 18th century vedute makes nearly €1m

Jonathan Franks reports

£1 = €1.25

TWO Old Master paintings that had been in the same Berlin collection for almost a century caused the biggest stir at the May 30 auction in Berlin held by Bassenge (28% buyer’s premium). First up was A View of Naples from the Sea, a 2ft 3in x 5ft 9in (68cm x 1.75m) canvas painted by Antonio Joli (1700-77). The Modena-born artist travelled extensively throughout Italy, but also visited Dresden and London, where he is known to have decorated a mansion in Richmond. In 1759 he accompanied one of his major patrons, John Montagu, Lord Brudenell, to the south of France and southern Italy, before establishing himself in Naples. Among the numerous vedute he executed is the one sold in Berlin. It was purchased there at auction in the Above: two Italian vedute which were pursued to multi-estimate levels at Bassenge in Berlin back on May 30.

French follow the worldwide trend for high Asian art results

FRANCE has not been immune to the rash of dramatic prices for Asian art that have swept the rest of the world. Pictured here is a selection of high-flyers from the e summer sales. £1 = €1.2

Above: Chinese paintings of varying ages on silk and paper were a feature of Christie’s (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) Asian art sale on June 11, accounting for four of the day’s highest prices. Two of them came from the single-owner collection which accounted for over a quarter of the entire contents. It had been amassed in the early 20th century by Jean Auguste Bussière, who spent over 40 years in China from 1913 as a doctor in the French legation. His ink-on-paper scroll by the highly popular artist Qi Baishi (1864-1957) realised €160,000 (£133,335) and an ink and colour on silk painting by Hua Ziyou from the late Qing dynasty sold for €120,000 (£100,000) . But making much more was an album of earlier ink-on-paper and silk paintings from a different source, provenanced to a French private collection and acquired in the early 1970s. The 12 paintings (one shown here), each of which measured 12½ x 14¾in (32 x 37.5cm), were by the 17th/18th century artist Qiang Guozhong and were dated to the 53rd year of the Kangxi Emperor’s reign, 1714. Each depicted figures in a pavilion set in mountainous landscapes and was accompanied by 12 passages of calligraphy. This album had been guided at €30,000-40,000 but ended up selling for €400,000 (£333,335). This was the second-highest price of the sale, surpassed only a by rare 4ft 4in (1.34m) Song dynasty carved figure of Guanyin Above: a rare Ming dynasty, 16th/17th century Buddhist bronze eclipsed its which led the day on €420,000 (£350,000). estimate to lead Artcurial’s (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) sale of Asian art on June 9. The monumental 4ft 4in (1.36m) high multi-armed deity, the Bodhisattva Avalokistesvara, which had come from a villa-château near Pau in south-west France and featured on the cover of the 181-lot sale catalogue, was taken to a five-times- estimate €600,000 (£500,000), selling to an Asian collector.

DRAGON NETSUKE CLAWS ITS WAY TO €24,000 Left: as was to be expected, there was major international interest for the first part of the Kolodotschko collection of netsuke, which was sold at Lempertz (22% buyer’s premium) in Cologne on June 14. Almost all the 300 lots found buyers, with several pieces going way over the estimates. The late 18th century figure of the fox-priest Hakusozu (previewed ATG No 2144, page 50) changed hands for €9500 (£7600), just below the upper estimate. The highest flier was the 1½in (4cm) long stag antler netsuke of a coiled rain-dragon (amaryû) from the second half of the 19th century pictured here. The estimate was €2000-3000, but the competition drove the bidding to €24,000 (£19,200), thus taking top honours for this part of the auction. In the general sale there were two other highlights. A Taiwanese bidder was hard pressed by numerous international competitors before he could buy a 22in (56cm) high cloisonné incense burner from the 18th century. It was in the catalogue for €18,000; the hammer fell at €58,000 (£46,400). Far more restrained in décor was a 15th century Longquan celadon barbed dish, diameter 18in (45cm), which was bid from €16,000 to €50,000 (£40,000).

His View of the Canal Grande with Santa Maria della Salute had a chequered history, to say the least. It is traceable to an English collection in the mid 19th century and later came into the possession of the German-Jewish collector Otto Hirsch. In the late 1930s it was acquired by the German dealer Karl Haberstock, infamous for his dealings with the Nazis.
