Art Antiques London
London, 9 — 16 June 2010

As noted at ArtInfo, the Art Antiques London fair held in Kensington Gardens wraps up today. Among the top five picks of Art + Auction executive editor Meghan Dailey is this cup and saucer from the dealer Adrian Sassoon, “an extremely rare, circa 1752 yellow-ground Vincennes cup and saucer decorated with scenes, in blue, of a boy copied from François Boucher engravings. Sassoon says it’s the first time in decades that he’s offered yellow-ground pieces, which he explains are uncommon and may have been influenced by the Chinese porcelain of the time. The pair is £38,000 ($55,260).”
