Chinese ivory carvings: the Sir Victor Sassoon collection

By

Abstract

Sir Victor Sassoon (1881-1961) lived an extraordinary and colourful life and left a remarkable legacy. He created a trust to preserve his collection of ivories for the benefit of UK citizens. Since its foundation and under the guardianship of the dedicated trustees, the collection has grown by the addition of significant specimens that originally went unrepresented. 'Chinese Ivory Carvings' presents 350 of its most significant artefacts, each illustrated and discussed.
