CRANSTON, RI
.- A beautiful Chinese Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) or earlier embroidered tapestry, depicting three Buddha figures seated on lotus thrones, sold for $12,500 in an online Estate Fine Art & Antiques auction held January 28th by Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers. The textile was the top lot of the 388-lot auction and was nicely housed in a 37 ¾ inch by 25 ½ inch frame.
When that Chinese tapestry came through the door, I knew the quality was better than normal, said Bruneau & Co. president Kevin Bruneau. However, I wanted to keep expectations low and let bidders make a discovery. The strategy worked. Last auction the same estate consigned two hardstone groupings, which hammered for $6,500 and $7,000.
