Sound on for a break from the endless scroll.
Listen as Sotheby’s Keason Tang plays an exceptionally rare ancient Chinese instrument, likely the only existing guqin that bears a date from the Liao dynasty.
For more than a century, the Youjian Song guqin was predominantly held in private collections and seldom seen in public, until now. The #SothebysHongKong auction ‘Monochrome’ represents its inaugural public showing since 1920.
Bidding closes from 21 May at 11AM HKT / 20 May 11PM ET.
