We are opening our brand-new, 6,000-square-foot exhibition, showroom, and auction rooms with a spiritual bang—by launching a no-reserve auction dedicated entirely to ancient Buddhist dzi beads.

Located at Zelinkagasse 6, 1010 Vienna, our new additional auction and preview space is just a seven-minute walk from our longstanding, 10,000-square-foot office, photography, video, and cataloging hub at Sterngasse 13. Both locations are now open to the public, and we warmly invite you to visit.

Buddhist dzi beads are revered for their ancient power and mystical symbolism. Traditionally worn as amulets or strung into protective necklaces, they are believed to attract blessings, health, and spiritual insight. The number and pattern of eyes on each bead often indicate specific benefits, from warding off misfortune to enhancing wisdom and compassion.

Interest in dzi beads has surged in recent years, and we are proud to present this exceptional collection, assembled over several decades with great care and discernment.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to acquire dzi beads of profound spiritual and historical resonance—with no reserves!

We’re pleased to present our first Fine Netsuke & Sagemono auction of the year.

The sale begins with a strong group of fine inro, showcasing a range of materials and lacquer techniques. Highlights include the stitched cherry bark inro by Kanshosai Toyo (Lot 14), and a striking yamimaki-e inro depicting Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s famous Earth Spider print (Lot 25).

From Lot 80 to the end of the sale, the auction focuses on fine netsuke, spanning a wide range of materials, styles, and schools. Notable pieces include a detailed carving of shishi lions on a base, signed Tomotada (Lot 149); the transforming goat attributed to Kaigyokusai Masatsugu—our cover piece (Lot 163); and an ingeniously carved basket of fish by Tsukamoto Kyokusai (Lot 291).
