CHRISTIE'S, the world's leading art auction house is holding it's ASIA WEEK in New York by presenting an unprecedented series of sales from march 18-21.

These are Chinese textiles from the collection of Linda Wrigglesworth, a renowned dealer and collector in Chinese textiles from the Qing dynasty material (1644-1911).
