BREAKING INTERNATIONAL AUCTION RECORDS
At The Gallerist Company, we don’t just deal in history — we make it. In September 2024, with the help of our auction partner in Singapore we shattered the international world record for Peranakan Straits Chinese porcelain when our fine Famille Rose ‘Chong Cai’ Wedding Basin sold for an astounding SGD 115,700.00 nearly four times the previous high in Malaysia. This wasn’t just a sale; it was a statement. Records are meant to be broken, and at The Gallerist, that’s what we do.
