Anton
Roxas lived a grand life in a house designed by Mario Buatta in one of the most
exclusive enclaves in the Philippines. One can only expect the best from this
man of gentility, both debonair and dandy. His assortment of furniture
including sofas, chairs, ottomans, tea tables, curtains and more will be
included in the auction.
The
official desk and chair of the late Jaime Cardinal Sin are historical furniture
that any collector will want to have. There is also a vast treasure trove of
Chinoiserie including the Quian Hu’an’s “Ladies Under the Peach Blossoms” dated
1881 and Lu Zhi’s “Sparrow on Plum Blossoms” which was finished in 1571.
“There
is something for all art collectors and enthusiasts as well as for those who
simply want to live with beautiful and stylish things,” says Leon Gallery
Director Jaime Ponce de Leon.
There
is a wide array of works from the masters. You will find superb paintings like Federico
Aguilar Alcuaz’s “Manila Bay Series” painted in 1988, Cesar Buenaventura’s
“Vendors” signed and dated 1980, Romeo Tabuena’s “Barrio Scene”, Federico
Aguilar Alcuaz’s “Portrait of a Lady, Juvenal Sanso’s “Landscape”, and 3
“Untitled” Mauro Malang Santos paintings from the early 1980s.
In
a similar manner, there is also an outstanding selection of contemporary
masters. Delight yourself with the works of Jigger Cruz’s “Untitled” work in
oil and dated 2009, Emmanuel Garibay’s “Untitled” work, Marcel Antonio’s “Girl
with Doll”, and Joan Miro’s “Picasso y el Reventos” which is hand signed.
There
are Chinese coromandels, sets of Celadon planters, a European chest of drawers,
a finely carved four-poster bed, and Empire style double aparador, a Laguna
comoda, pair of Brentwood chairs and marble-top table, a Hagabi bench, and so
much more to choose from.
“One
can indulge his or her taste for the exquisite at various price points at the
upcoming online auction and all that from one’s armchair or boudoir. The online
auction gives clients the convenience of bidding through their mobiles or
laptops, without having to trek all the way to where physical auctions happen,”
says Jaime Ponce de Leon. This convenience makes online auctions for
smaller-value — but no less enchanting — lots trending.
It’s
as simple as going to www.leonexchange.com
and registering as a buyer. Previews for the superb lots begin on January 14,
2019 at Leon Gallery in Warehouse 14 La Fuerza Plaza, 2241 Chino Roces Ave.,
Makati City.
