Bonhams Hong Kong's autumn Chinese antiques sales realised HK$81.92 million on 28 October, with 100 of 178 lots finding buyers across four sessions. The sale was led by a Yuan or Ming dynasty gilt-bronze seated Guanyin from the Spellman collection, which sold for HK$10.19 million. Three single-owner collections together accounted for HK$55.22 million of the total, while the general Chinese ceramics and works of art session contributed HK$26.7 million.

The four sessions were drawn from distinct collections and categories. The Yangmingshanfang sale, the collection of Taiwan's Yi Nong Group under the studio name of Pan Shengzheng, offered 59 lots, of which 23 sold for HK$9.24 million, led by a Ming Wanli cloisonne enamel censer with a chi-dragon design that sold for HK$1.29 million against an estimate of HK$1 million to HK$1.5 million. The Shende Fanhua sale of Buddhist sculpture from an Asian private collection totalled HK$2.19 million, topped by a fourteenth-century gilt-wood seated bodhisattva at HK$1.03 million. The Spellman collection sale, presented under the title Rui Jian Dian Feng, supplied the sale's headline lot.

In the general session, a Qianlong famille rose yuhuchun vase, a Tang sancai horse and a Qianlong zitan table inset with bamboo and yellow lacquer took the top three positions. Reporting on the sale noted that buyers remained selective, showing measured interest in high estimates and lots at the million-dollar level, even as competition held up for works with strong collecting histories.

The result follows a Taipei preview earlier in October, when Bonhams showed highlights of its Buddhist art sales, including the nine-work single-owner group Fan Yun Jiu Zhen, spanning Gandharan, Himalayan and Southeast Asian sculpture from the third century onwards. The Hong Kong sales confirm the house's autumn focus on single-owner Chinese collections with documented research and publication histories.
